Six goals. A hat trick. Klauss scores in his return. An MLS record tied. And now first place is on the line. St. Louis CITY SC just delivered one of the wildest nights in club history, crushing the LA Galaxy 6-2 at Energizer Park and extending its unbeaten run to 20 matches across all competitions, tying the MLS record. Carlo Holse stole the show with a hat trick in the opening 21 minutes, the second-fastest hat trick from the start of a match in MLS history. Matt and Kev break down everything ...

Kev is back, and St. Louis CITY SC still hasn't lost. CITY extended its incredible run to 19 matches unbeaten across all competitions with a 3-0 road win over Red Bull New York, putting St. Louis right in the middle of the race at the top of the Western Conference. The streak has now reached 17 straight in MLS play, and CITY can tie the MLS record for the longest unbeaten run across all competitions with one more result. St. Louis CITY SC Matt and Kev break down the Red Bulls win, Rafael Navarro...

St. Louis CITY SC just keeps winning, and Kev picked a pretty interesting week to go on vacation. With CITY now 18 matches unbeaten across all competitions, Duds jumps over from NFNP to fill in for Kev and figure out how a team that struggled early in the season suddenly became one of the hottest clubs in MLS. Matt breaks down the 3-1 win over Toronto, CITY’s first-ever trip to the U.S. Open Cup Final, the impact of Rafael Navarro, Carlo Holse, Alex Mățan, Simon Becher and the club’s new depth,...

A fugitive murder suspect fighting extradition from Italy. One of New York’s most infamous dismemberment cases. And the $24 million McDonald’s Monopoly fraud that reached a mob-connected network. Welcome to True Crime Night. Matt and Duds start with an update on Lee Gilley, the Texas capital-murder defendant previously discussed on NFNP with bail expert Ken Good. After allegedly cutting off his GPS monitor and escaping to Italy, Gilley’s extradition fight has created another twist involving the ...

NFNP 2x32 picks up immediately where last week's conversation ended. Same clothes. Same recording night. New beer. And significantly more existential dread. Former OpenAI and Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic on September 9, warning that frontier AI companies are racing toward increasingly capable, potentially self-improving systems without knowing whether humanity can reliably control them. Which raises a fairly important question: Should we maybe stop? Or is stoppin...

St. Louis CITY SC is now 90 minutes away from the U.S. Open Cup Final. And somehow, that isn’t even the only ridiculous thing happening with this team. CITY fell behind Minnesota United in the fifth minute Saturday night. A few months ago, that might have felt like the end of the night. This time? Nobody panicked. CITY responded with four goals, controlled the match and walked out of Energizer Park with a 4-2 win, extending the club’s unbeaten run to 16 matches across all competitions and 15 ...

Rafael Navarro didn’t need much time to introduce himself. Thirty-four seconds into his first start for St. Louis CITY SC, the club-record signing had his first CITY goal. By the 51st minute, he had two. Navarro’s brace in Wednesday night’s 2-2 draw at Portland gave him the fastest goal in club history and made him the fastest CITY player ever to record a brace. He now has 12 goals and four assists in MLS this season. And even though Portland equalized again in the 89th minute, CITY’s ridicu...

Before all that, Duds reports back from his anniversary stay at the Four Seasons and Gordon Ramsay restaurant, Bright is running on no sleep after another late CITY match, and we may have accidentally discovered the perfect NFNP beer sponsorship: Bright Vibes & Duds Suds. 🎙️ NFNP 2x31 Part 1 Trump’s $5K Checks vs. The Great American Debt Reset 🌐 NFNPPOD.COM

All right, Conrad Wallem. We owe you one. Last week’s CITY SC Posse literally included the words “Wallem Must Sit.” Then CITY went into first-place Vancouver, won 3-1, and Wallem responded with his first goal of the season, another assist and a spot on MLS Team of the Matchday alongside Tomas Totland. Yoann Damet was also named Coach of the Matchday. So Bright opens Ep27 with an official apology. Sort of. We break down CITY’s massive road win over Vancouver, how St. Louis recovered after con...

St. Louis CITY SC went all-in at the transfer deadline. Now comes the hard part: figuring out who actually plays. CITY made the biggest move in club history, acquiring Rafael Navarro from Colorado for a club-record $12 million and giving the 26-year-old Brazilian striker a Designated Player slot. Navarro arrives with 38 MLS goals, including 10 this season, and immediately becomes the true No. 9 CITY has been searching for. But he wasn't the only addition. CITY also brought in 6'4" USMNT forwa...

Could Grand Theft Auto VI really be a $2 billion video game? Rockstar hasn't confirmed the final price tag, but high-end estimates have put the total cost of developing and marketing GTA VI near $2 BILLION, potentially making it the most expensive entertainment production ever created. Bright and Duds dig into what could possibly cost that much, from more than a decade of development and hundreds of thousands of animations to an absurdly detailed open world designed to make fictional Florida f...

CITY and FC Dallas enter Sunday night with the exact same record and the exact same number of points. Somebody has a chance to separate themselves. St. Louis CITY SC is riding a 12-match unbeaten run across all competitions after knocking off Houston 2-1 at Energizer Park, but the celebration came with another major roster change: Eduard Löwen is officially headed to San Jose. Bright and Kev break down the Houston win, Simon Becher's opener, Dante Polvara's late winner, Roman Bürki's big saves...

Want the St. Louis OnlyFans story? Jump to 28:17. Bitcoin is ripping again, so Duds starts us down the money rabbit hole and somehow we end up discussing fiat currency, investing, GameStop and a $20,000 refrigerator. Then we get into TLC’s new St. Louis-based Double Lives of Suburban Wives. Former teachers, suburban parents, adult-content careers, student loans and some absolutely wild money. But that leads to the bigger question: did America go from one household income, to two incomes, to n...

St. Louis CITY SC is still unbeaten, but the feeling after Kansas City w/ Houston looming is weird. Bright and Kev break down CITY’s frustrating 1-1 draw at Sporting KC, a match that technically earned a road point but emotionally felt like a loss. They discuss Kansas City’s 18 shots, CITY’s lack of attacking rhythm, Löwen’s deflected free-kick goal, Becher earning the foul, Sang-Bin’s crossbar chance, Wallem’s rough rating, Durkin’s yellow-card suspension, and why CITY was lucky Sporting KC s...

Bright and Duds are back for NFNP 2x28, and this week the guys continue their accidental trilogy on why modern adulthood feels broken. First it was housing. Then it was the scam economy. Now it is college debt. The episode starts with peak NFNP energy: Imo’s pizza, Urban Chestnut Zwickel, back-to-school chaos, family schedules, end-of-summer vacations, Innsbrook memories, fake IDs, and old-school college stories. Then the fake ID talk becomes the perfect bridge into one of the dumbest alleged...

It is game day, and City SC Posse is back after last week’s power-outage podcast disaster. Bright and Kev preview St. Louis CITY SC’s Wednesday night rivalry matchup against Sporting Kansas City, with CITY riding a club-record 10-match unbeaten run across all competitions. They break down why this is a huge opportunity for CITY to finally win at Sporting Park, why SKC’s poor form makes this an expected win, and why rivalry games are never as simple as the standings suggest. The guys ...

Bright and Duds are back for NFNP 2x27, and this week the question is simple: Is everything a scam now? After the success of the Mark Greaves housing episodes, the guys roll straight into another piece of modern American misery: the scam economy and the daily admin tax of being alive. Fraud is not just stolen credit cards anymore. It is fake texts, fake toll notices, fake package alerts, fake fraud alerts, identity theft, hacked accounts, medical bills you cannot understand, collections calls...

Original NFNP member Mark Greaves returns for Part 2, and this time the guys finally get into the housing conversation. Bright, Duds and Mark break down one of the biggest questions facing regular people right now: Can anyone actually afford a house anymore? Mark brings his mortgage experience to the table as the guys compare the housing market of 2019 to today: home prices, mortgage rates, monthly payments, insurance, income, inflation, first-time buyer age, student loans and why so many you...

St. Louis CITY SC is no longer just trying to survive the season. CITY is 7th, climbing, and suddenly staring at a massive opportunity against Real Salt Lake. On this episode of City SC Posse, Bright and Kev switch up the usual format and start with the Real Salt Lake preview before circling back to the Colorado recap. CITY sits on 25 points with an even goal differential, while Real Salt Lake is one of the teams directly ahead in the Western Conference. A win could push CITY into a much more s...

Original NFNP member Mark Greaves is back with the Posse. Bright and Duds welcome Mark Greaves, a childhood friend, Ohio State volleyball alum, mortgage expert, business owner, podcaster and founder of Tithe Lending, for Part 1 of a two-part conversation. The guys start with old NFNP energy, Rush concert talk, growing up in St. Louis, moving away to Ohio and never really coming back. From there, the conversation turns into Bitcoin, crony capitalism, inflation, big tech, faith, business burnout...

St. Louis CITY SC is no longer just playing better. CITY is officially climbing. On this episode of City SC Posse, Bright and Kev recap CITY’s 3-1 road win over LA Galaxy, a result that pushed St. Louis into 8th place in the Western Conference and continued one of the hottest runs of form in MLS. Bright opens by welcoming new listeners and explaining what City SC Posse is all about: casual fan reaction, the eye test, match impressions, standings, stadium experience, and the moments fans actuall...

AI is loose. Money is fake. The system is rigged. And St. Louis finally figured out how to spend the Rams cash. Bright and Duds are back for NFNP 2x24, starting with a mid-summer blah mood before spiraling into quarter-life crises, useless degrees, AI taking over work, and the possibility that artificial intelligence is already breaking out of the box. The guys get into a wild AI story involving a sandbox, hacking, online access and the kind of “oops” moment that sounds like the opening scene ...

City SC Posse is back for Episode 20, and suddenly the season feels alive again. Bright and Kev start by thanking everyone who watched, listened, shared, and supported the Wrexham AFC bonus episode, which became the show’s biggest episode so far. After the original Wrexham story, the stolen rental car, the missing souvenirs, and Wrexham AFC replacing the entire order, the bonus episode brought in thousands of streams and new listeners to NFNPPOD and City SC Posse. Then it is back to St. Louis ...

A St. Louis CITY fan wore his CITY kit to Wrexham, visited The Fat Boar, the Racecourse, the Club Shop, and The Turf, then had his rental car stolen with all the Wrexham merch inside. After reading the blog, Wrexham AFC replaced the entire order and now Bright is a fan for life! Read the blog at NFNPPOD.com/blog/wrexham/
