From accidentally stumbling into goalkeeping at age nine in Crocs, to boarding at Shattuck-St. Mary's at fourteen, training with Columbus Crew's first team as a teenager, and representing the US Youth National Team — Harms has always found himself in rooms where he was the youngest and least experienced. He talks about what that forged in him.

We cover the Duke years, the injury, the captaincy before the starting spot, and the move to Indiana where he had to earn everything from scratch — sharing time with Bryant Pratt before making the No. 1 jersey his own across three seasons and three Big Ten titles. We also dig into the friendship with FC Dallas' Sam Sarver, a bond that has followed both players from Columbus to Bloomington to Dallas.

Now back in his home state for the first time as a professional, Harms talks about what it means to wear the Flamingo badge, life on the road, and what this young, hungry group is quietly building ahead of the home opener on May 16.

After a longer than expected hiatus, Andrew, Grant, and Mitch reunite for a jam-packed episode covering everything that's happened at Forward Madison FC since January — and a lot has happened.

After catching up on two months of roster news, the crew sits down with both of the Matts: Sporting Director Matt Cairns, making his NDZ Live debut, and Head Coach & Technical Director Matt Glaeser, for a wide-ranging preseason roundup ahead of the March 14th season opener at One Knoxville SC.

The conversation covers the thinking behind one of the most internationally diverse rosters in club history, what preseason has actually revealed about this group, and whether this rebuild represents genuine organizational evolution or just a different roll of the dice. There are also some big questions about what this season could mean for a fanbase that's bruised but still showing up — and why it might matter more than usual.

Plus: the Polar Plunge, Kanté comps, walk-out songs, and a question about whether Kerfalla Toure has been on the ice yet.

Season Eight starts now.

From there, we spend most of the episode with Mark Segbers, and it’s less about the highlight reel and more about the long arc. Segbers talks growing up in St. Louis, coming up in a full, energetic household, and finding his footing at Wisconsin before a pro career defined by drafts, loans, and the steady grind of the USL Championship. There’s perspective on MLS environments, winning locker rooms, and how your relationship with the game changes when you’ve seen a few different versions of it.

We wrap by zooming in on why Madison makes sense now—familiarity, trust in the club’s new direction, and the role veteran voices like Segbers can play as FMFC leans younger and builds something that looks intentionally different than past iterations.

Measured, reflective, and very much about the path, not just the destination.
