  • S2E12. Retire, Shmetire. Make the NFL Salary Cap Higher
    Mar 25 2022

    We return to disgrace your podcast feed with a singular question: Is enjoying beers outside good or bad? (0:05:02) We evaluate the ever-changing NFL landscape halfway through the offseason (0:09:09). Not sure if you remember Tom Brady retiring, but he decided to not do that (0:19:49). We fumble through a very amateur (some would say plain incorrect) answer to the question: is NFL cap space real or not? (0:34:29). Speaking of: are movie theatres real? (51:38) We hide the Pokémon talk at the end of the pod because we’re really thoughtful hosts (1:04:09). Bonus track: gambling for free and unlocked carnival games (1:23:58).

    The boys are back and going international as Ethan takes a trip to Ireland and meets the rudest human being of his life (0:00:47).

    Feb 28 2022

    The boys are back after a brief hiatus, and we’re breaking news right away as Ethan returns to the Broadway stage 12 years after his Tony winning performance in Wicked [and by that I mean Wicked Pissah, the Boston based reenactment of l the Stephen Schwartz musical] (0:06:09). We get together to both complain about and reason with the NFL seasonal award results (0:13:48) as well as submit our 2 week old super bowl predictions for your entertainment (0:27:38).

We dive all the way into our review of Pokemon: Legends of Arceus (1:12:28) which leads to an epic Ethan rant blowing up at Jameses controversial opinions (1:49:50). Our nightcap for the evening is a fine glass of Patriots propaganda with a chaser of Mac Jones love (2:01:10).
