Ohhhhh baby - do we have a saucy one for the Backyardigans today. 

On this episode of the Backyard Bro’s podcast, we have the world-renowned, charismatic legend of the sport, Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson join us in studio! Grant, Nicky Ripz, the Godfather and Ocho talk about anything and everything because the man is an open book (almost as open as he was on the field). 

 The guys talk about Ocho's humble beginnings, his rookie and sophomore years in college and the NFL, before diving into the SAUCE. 

The boys discuss Ocho's Mount Rushmore of WRs and QBs in the league right now, and who he would have loved to play alongside during his prime. 

Ocho also broke out some cards and signed cards and sticker autos for everyone for a behind-the-scenes look at how much goes into the production of sports cards. 

If you have the opportunity, or have met Chad in the past, you would know he is one of the most honest, down to earth, and absolutely hilarious individuals on planet earth and his reputation proceeds himself. If you missed this live-stream on Twitch, it was an absolute one for the ages - and can be viewed on YouTube in its' entirety. 

So sit back, order a Big Mac with extra cheese, no onions and enjoy the show!

Ladies (sup) and Gentlemen - Welcome back to another installment of the Backyard Bro’s podcast!

As football inches its way back into our lives, so does that bug that comes around this time every year. The gambling bug. On this episode, we delve deep into the hell scape that is betting on sports as Grant and Nicky give a crash course on week one matchups and which side they’re leaning towards.

On top of all this, the boys are beginning to shake off the dust and cobwebs of their football minds as they begin to hone in their knowledge and brush up on irrelevant saber metrics stats that they can use to coax themselves into live betting the second half of the Jets versus the Ravens. But this season will be different, Grant and Nicky are on full tilt because they will be providing you, the beautiful people of the backyard, with their picks, entirely for FREE.

Normally, you have someone that you pay for gambling advice, inquiring locks, overs, live bets and parlays. But here at the backyard, this is entirely free of charge. Segwaying from sports gambling, the boys tease on who they are leaning towards with their first picks in their upcoming auction fantasy draft and why they are rolling the way that they are.

Following that, we talk the new upcoming rookie class and debate who is going have an instant impact in the NFL, similar to how Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson were able to do. All this and much much more, on the backyard bro’s podcast streaming on Spotify, Apple Music and you can also listen to it any time on our YouTube channel.

So close you can almost smell it! The NFL Season is less than a few short weeks away and the boys in the Backyard ARE BUZZING.

Finally, the boys highlight some other sports news from around the world and they discuss their "Bold Predictions" for the year.

On Episode 16 of Backyard Bros Podcast, we have special guest, and NFL all-star, Jonathan Taylor of the  Indianapolis Colts! We had Nick, Grant, Nicky and JT chopping it up about all things NFL and all things hobby related. Some burning questions about some rookie QB's, his transition from High School, to College at the University of Wisconsin, to being drafted 41st overall in the 2020 draft.

With the NFL season just 8 short weeks away, we had to break out the fresh wax for JT to rip.... Imagine having Jonathan Taylor breaking your box of NFL Flawless for you!

Finally, the good folks over at The Real Autograph blessed us with a surprise golden ticket inside their mystery memorabilia boxes. They threw in 2 tickets to the Week 6 matchup between the Jags and the Colts with some of the Backyard Bro's at Lucas Oil Stadium with airfare and hotel costs all paid for. What a swear!

This was an absolutely fantastic podcast and an experience that we will never forget. Taylor is an extremely humble guest and a fantastic speaker, who provided tons of insight on what being the best running back in the league entails and all the hard work that he puts in on and off the field to maintain this status as one of the best the sport has to offer! Hope you enjoy the listening experience as much as we enjoyed recording it.

On this week's episode of the Backyard Bros Podcast, Grant & Nicky break down the upcoming week in the Backyard including FOTL NBA National Treasures Release Day, NFL Chronicles Release Day, and a Special Guest that'll be live with us on Twitch Wednesday night. 

With FOTL National Treasures Basketball releasing on Panini's website this week, Grant and Nicky discuss the NEW 75th Anniversary Logoman set to debut in this years' product - and why they think these will have greater value than the traditional Logoman released in previous years. 

With the NFL season right around the corner, the guys discuss when the right time to buy is (hint - NOW) and they dive into their Top 5 Buys of the Week for NFL cards. They also highlight who they're investing in when it comes to NBA cards. This podcast is loaded with information and entertainment that'll get us through the dead period while we wait for the NFL and NBA season to kick back off! So sit back and enjoy the hobby talk with the Backyard Bros! 

Last week, Jorge Masvidal joined Grant, Nicky, and The Godfather for an exclusive, 2-hour interview LIVE on Twitch and Whatnot. This was a live-stream for the AGES as Jorge answered all the questions that we've been dying to ask. 

In this episode of the Backyard Bros Podcast, Jorge talks about how he got into the sports card community with his company BRKRZ. Jorge answers questions about some of his biggest fights in his UFC career, who he would like to fight next, and tells one of the funniest, most insane stories about how he escaped from a Reality TV show in the Dominican Republic.  

This podcast is a MUST listen - special thank you to Jorge and BRKRZ for stopping by the Backyard and blessing our community with this special event. 

Today, FOTL NFL Flawless touched down in the Backyard and we thought it was a great opportunity to introduce a new segment called "Post-Game Interview." After every big release day, we're going to get Grant and Nicky to sit down and walk us through everything from that took place that down - from what they loved about the product, to the biggest hits of the day, and everything in between. 

On today's first episode of the Post-Game Interview, Grant and Nicky discuss the FOTL NFL Flawless release. The guys highlight the new inserts that Panini has introduced into Flawless this year, how the breaks went throughout the day, and the biggest hits from FOTL Flawless. Grant and Nicky dive into which new insert they believe will hold the most long-term value and Grant makes a trade with someone mid podcast. 

Stay tuned for more Post-Game Interviews after each and every release day! 

On today's episode, Brett and JMO delve deep into the differences of card grading. For those who are relatively new to the hobby, this is some useful information that you may not have known about. The guys explain the differences in grading, what a sub-grade means, and where to send your cards in for grading. 

     After that, JMO and Brett take a walk down memory lane back to the night that the TRIPLE LOGOMAN card was pulled, and share some behind-the-scenes stories that have never been told before. Brett gets absolutely ROASTED on Ken Goldin's post about the Triple Logoman and we read some of the funniest comments in front of him. 

    Finally, the B-Squad interviews an absolute LEGEND in the Hobby - Mr. Rotoradar himself. Rotoradar is the CEO and founder of the Hobby Discord Group "CB47" - a community that lives and breathes all things sports card related. It was a pleasure having Roto on the podcast and this interview is a must-listen. 

     In closing, the boys rattle off some of their predictions for the NBA Finals series between The Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors.
