About The Best Soccer Show

The Best Soccer Show is an American soccer conversation with the tempo of a live room and the memory of a long-running fan argument. Jason Davis anchors most of the recent episodes, shifting between solo monologues, guest segments, roster reactions, and live-chat detours. The center of gravity is the U.S. men's national team. World Cup preparation, Mauricio Pochettino's roster choices, March friendlies, Gio Reyna's case, Weston McKennie's reputation, and the mood around losses to Belgium and Portugal all become material for serious debate and comic overreaction. The show likes a scale, especially its long-running DEFCON gauge for national-team anxiety. It also likes a tangent. MLS Week 1 and Week 2, Orlando firing Pareja, San Diego going to Toluca, Red Bulls nostalgia, Michael Bradley's coaching arc, New England Revolution concerns, and Don Garber succession talk all sit comfortably in the same stream. Guests help ground the noise. Doug McIntyre brings Fox Sports beat perspective from USMNT camp. Jonathan Tannenwald adds reporting and on-site context. Thomas Pinzone brings a Blazing Musket and New England angle. Mitch Clark appears as part of the show's newer rotating cast after Jared Dubois steps back. Even a special interview with Carlos Mojica about a soccer book for kids fits the broader mission: passing the game along, arguing about which players matter, and making soccer history approachable. The style is energetic, self-aware, and loose around the edges. It can be deeply specific about formations, rosters, altitude, and league culture, then immediately undercut itself with a drop or a joke. That balance is the appeal. The Best Soccer Show is for American soccer fans who want informed takes without studio stiffness, and who recognize that caring too much is often the point.

Made for: For fans who follow the USMNT, MLS, and American soccer closely enough to enjoy roster anxiety, league lore, and live-show banter. It especially suits listeners who want analysis with personality rather than a buttoned-up studio panel.

What sets it apart: The show pairs American soccer discussion with a long-running fan culture of drops, DEFCON ratings, live questions, and inside jokes. It feels less like a recap desk and more like a familiar room arguing through the same soccer week together.

In their own words

Hosted by the voice of the American fan, Jason Davis (SiriusXM), and the clown prince of soccer, Jared Dubois (JD & The Rod), The Best Soccer Show is dedicated to all things American Soccer, covering Major League Soccer, the National Women’s Soccer League, the US national teams, Americans around the globe, and more. The show features a who's who of American soccer in an energetic, call-in format that gives fans a voice while never taking itself or the game too seriously.
