  • Lame sports talk

    It is entertaining when they aren’t talking about sports. These guys spend so much time watching tv in order to watch all these sports, the only reason you should watch that much tv is if you can’t walk. We don’t care about your boring children’s sports either Brendan, god get them into an engineering program not brain dead ball games.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joanna Goes FULL Football Mom at the Championship! | TFATK Ep. 1235
Q: How is Joanna's daughter doing with her physical disability and braces?
Joanna says her daughter is thriving in pre-K, climbing and keeping up with the other children. She still wears braces, but a recent specialist appointment noted progress and raised the possibility of reducing the braces; she may eventually need an orthotic insert for ankle support.
Joanna Goes FULL Football Mom at the Championship! | TFATK Ep. 1235
Q: How did the youth-football championship against Westlake unfold, and what made the loss especially difficult?
The team lost 20–14 after trailing 20–6, rallied and had a final chance to gain 15 yards on an onside play, but the receiver dropped the pass. The coaches also disputed Westlake's use of a smaller ball and a ruling after a blocked extra point, while Brendan stressed that his players should focus on execution rather than blame.
Fan Favorite Episode 489 Tim Dillon
Q: Was there an event or something that forced you to gain weight?
Dillon says his weight increased gradually over time as life went on and he ate more, and that he now intends to lose weight.
Fan Favorite Episode 489 Tim Dillon
Q: Why did you decide to leave New York?
Dillon says he wanted a change after years in New York, and wanted to develop his podcast and video projects with people he had met in Los Angeles.
Fan Favorite Episode 575 Clay Travis
Q: What is your view on the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the data behind the decisions?
Clay argues for targeted quarantines and a more nuanced approach, noting that deaths have largely affected specific populations (like nursing homes) and that broader lockdowns may not be justified by the data for all groups.
