One episode away from 100, so we brought back a couple of familiar faces: Derek Gebhard and Eric Leonard. We relive the playoff win over Spokane (finally), talk dad life with the dads, and get the real story on Derek’s injury and his road back. Then it’s on to Charlotte, and the quest to win our first road playoff game. No pressure. Plus Brewers glory, Blood Rave requests, Duran Duran and a record haul from The Door. Be easy.

Eddie Munjoma takes us from McKinney, Texas, where his Zimbabwean dad coached him from age four through the FC Dallas Academy and SMU, a rookie year stalled by the pandemic, and Phoenix Rising's improbable 2023 title run. He opens up about the 2025 ACL tear that cost him a move overseas, the year of rehab that followed, and why Madison was the place to come back to. Plus: the crew breaks down the Westchester loss and the late-season skid, and Eddie explains why he'd just have to show Mark Segbers the medal.

Forward Madison right back AJ Edwards joins NDZ Live for episode 097. Grant, Mitch, and Andrew open with where the Flamingos stand heading into the stretch run — 3rd place, 40 points, and a playoff format where table position could mean hosting games at Breese Stevens Field this fall — plus news that all-time leading scorer Derek Gebhard is nearing a return.

AJ takes us from his San Jose roots and the Earthquakes Academy, through UCLA and a breakout MLS NEXT Pro season with The Town FC, to signing in Madison this February. He opens up about the nine-match absence that kept him out of the lineup for two months this season — what it was, what rehab looked like day to day, and how he stayed locked in mentally before returning against Spokane on July 1. Plus: the real story behind the AC Boise celebration rumors that took on a life of their own online.
