This is the guys’ eighth recording in seven (work)days. They’re starting to get pissed at each other, mostly, but they also hate a bunch of players (at cost) in every round of 2026 fantasy drafts. Let’s get to it:

I’ve been a big fan of this podcast the last two years; an entertaining mix of football and pop culture.
But the whole time it’s been nagging me how exclusionary it is for women.
I didn’t think it was a conscious thing by the hosts, but comments like how to bargain with your girlfriend/wife so that you can watch the games on Sunday are pretty common.
I shrugged it off as a blind spot for a while, until I watched the final episode of the podcast before they moved to Netflix. In that show, they... more
A super fun balance of analysis and entertainment. I prefer to laugh while consuming tons of useless (football) data
How would talking about Transformers, with this trio, with modern artistic discourse, be a good idea at all. First signs of trouble with this show.
Their offseason shows are horrendous…instead of talking about the news they talk about useless BS
Breakfast: protein bagel sandwich including homemade low cal McDonald’s breakfast sauce, egg whites with salt and pepper, ground turkey spiced to taste like sausage, and American cheese.
These feel like talking sports with my buddies and get sidetracked with trivial facts and dick jokes. A+
P.S. growing up in central PA in the late 90s and 2000s a chode has always been a dick that is wider than it is long. Not a fun time to be named Kody (aka Chody) in middle school.

This show blends fantasy football analysis with humor and pop culture banter, focusing on draft strategy, player values, and league-specific tactics. Episodes frequently dissect rankings, sleepers, and camp notes, often featuring guests from ESPN and Yahoo to broaden perspectives. The tone is energetic and humorous, with a strong emphasis on practical advice for fantasy managers while weaving in timely NFL news and entertaining tangents that keep listeners engaged. It probably stands out for chemistry among three regular hosts and a willingness to explore offbeat comparisons and sponsor reads without losing core fantasy focus.
