May 18, 2026 Team Derek vs Team Konrad + [American] Football + A Look At Possibly The Weirdest Movie Ever Made
In a very special episode of DLS Derek is joined by one of his closest friends: soon to be Dr. Konrad Turnbull. Konrad discusses what it was like growing up watching sports as a lad in England and how things changed once he came to America. It's a rich conversation about football, baseball, rounders, and football.
Then Derek and Konrad embark on a challenge to draft the best team of characters that share their first name. Is it sports? No. Does it make sense? Maybe. Not really. Is it fun? Yeah, it's pretty fun.

April 25, 2026 Let's Do A Draft of... Everything? | NFL Draft First Round Recap + Derek Called 911 for the First Time Ever + What Does "Vegan" Even Mean? Like Really? I'm Being Serious
Derek and Devesh do the thing where they debate a topic that is probably actually settled science, but both of them present their points as though they are breaking fresh new ground. It's great!
Why did Derek apologize to a paramedic for getting blood on his iPad? How did cheese cause Devesh's nose to bleed? This is literally the only place you will find the answers to these questions.
Derek and Devesh also offer their thoughts on the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Was picking Jerry Love a mistake for the Cardinals? Was picking Ty Simpson a mistake for the Rams? Was picking to be on this show a mistake for Devesh? I'm sure these two dudes have all of the answers.
Will Derek's sinuses heal? Will Devesh get kicked out of the library again? Find out right now on Derek Likes Sports!
