Our first episode went smoothly, but we have some postgame adjustments we need to make: Drew said last week that he’d put ALL of the homerism away for this show, but that’s not fun. So he's gonna give himself a little bit, especially after the Viking... more
It's the start of the season, which can only mean one thing: Drew and Arif pick every single week one matchup.

- Stick to sports, unironically!
Drew and Roth are endearing because they clearly love and cannot divorce themselves from sports fandom like so many of their audience members. We all have the ability to understand sports as part of our shared reality, but sometimes you just have to say FTP, Skol Vikes etc. The show sings when this discordance is acknowledged, felt, and eventually ignored because this sports stuff is actually a really good way to sink your attention into something that had a modicum of logic to it (unless you ar... more

I haven’t listened to this in a while, then I saw Spencer Hall was going to be on. Cool! Then These self righteous clowns spent the whole time talking over him, not cool! Zzzzz
Apple Podcasts2stinky leftyUnited States6 months ago - Love the show!
Roth is the absolute best! Someone needs to stage an intervention for Drew to get him to stop spreading his horrendous Vikings inspired nonsense that has infiltrated an otherwise stellar podcast. Love that Mina Kimes and Roth called him out for this in the latest episode.
Aside from that, keep up the amazing work!
