The Loony Bin Podcast

95: One Day at a Time (feat. Devin Padelford)

We have an interview with Minnesota United homegrown defender Devin Padelford we think you'll enjoy. We have more roster updates as the team stays active ahead of their return trip to California.

94: Loons Plug Holes with Adi, Wolff & Knowles (feat. Cam Knowles)

We're joined for a short interview with Cam Knowles that we got after the team's introductory press conference. We have other coaching and roster updates all throughout the organization. And we'll give you all the reasons we can think of to start to hate the Chicago Fire.    BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast  

93: Players Say Hello, Ramsay Says Hwyl Fawr (feat. Joe Lowery)

We are joined by Joe Lowery, of Backheeled and Total Soccer Show fame, to discuss the offseason that was and the changes on their way. We dig into the most recent news that we'll have a new head coach on the touchline this year after yet another departure. And we take a look at the preseason schedule that has the team sleeping in hotels more than in their own beds the next six weeks.   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast  

92: ’Tis the Season for Preseason & Ramsay Rumors

We have our first Loon or Loonlet trivia of the year to see if Matt can get over the 60% line. We check in on some overseas Ramsay rumors that may impact who's on the Loons' touchline in 2026. And we end with a bedtime story for all the Loonlets out there.    BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast  

91: 2026 New Year’s ResoLOONtions & Lod is Finnished (feat. John Rynders)

We're joined by the 2025 Loonlet of the Year, John Rynders, as we discuss our New Year's ResoLOONtions. We're saying goodbye to the Loon's all time leading goal-scorer, Robin Lod, who joins our future rival instead of staying with us. And I'll ask the guys how much money they're willing to spend for some super fancy Fort Lauderdale grass.   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast  

90: Dayne Departs and Rips Out Our Hearts

We talk about the earth-shattering news that dropped this week … the Loons Coachella schedule. We dig into the cataclysmic news that just crossed our feeds … that Matus Kmet is on his way back. And we'll probably talk about some other things that happened that may or may not be currently making us nauseous.   (3:45) Loon or Loonlet Trivia (9:30) Quick Hits (26:05) Dayne Departs (59:25) Loon Droppings    ------------------   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast  

89: Time to Panic at the DiSCo

We start to get our panic on as the lack of news about a Dayne St. Clair contract has us both in our feelings. We congratulate Shari Ballard even if we haven't been able to interview her ourselves. And we wonder if maybe it's time that FIFA just changes soccer to a game of quarters instead of halves.    (3:05) Loon or Loonlet Trivia (9:30) Quick Hits (23:30) Peter Stroud Talk (29:25) Dayne Panic (35:40) Loon Droppings    ------------------   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast  

88: The 2025 Episode Most Likely to Have Awards

We break down the World Cup draw and all the cringe that came with it. We let you know if we heard anything about Dayne's contract situation from the sources we don't have. And we'll give out our annual awards that are both straight-forward and a bit curved-backwards.    (7:10) Loon or Loonlet Trivia (12:00) MLS Cup Review (28:45) MNUFC Straight-Forward Awards (43:20) MNUFC Curved-Backwards Awards (59:10) Loon Droppings    ------------------   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com Website: theloonybinpod.com Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast
