Happy New Year and welcome back to the 280+ Podcast. Episode 219 kicks off the new year with resolutions, gym culture chaos, and the unspoken rules of gym dress codes before sliding into a packed rundown of entertainment and sports.

We hit quick headlines, including the Oscars making a surprising move to YouTube and why 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated years in entertainment.

Then it’s time to talk comedy. We break down Dave Chappelle’s latest special and why he’s still the stand-up comedy GOAT. From elite storytelling and surgical timing to his ability to make heavy topics hilarious, Chappelle proves he’s not just funny, he’s a comedy tactician. We even revisit some classic jokes and examine the structure of a master-level comedy set.

In What Else Are You Watching, we explore the underrated joy of the Roku Live TV Guide, including 24/7 channels featuring classics like American Gladiators and The Price Is Right.

Plus, we introduce Brockmire, the raunchy, wildly inappropriate comedy starring Hank Azaria, and explain why it’s worth your time.

On the NFL side, we cover:

• Myles Garrett reaching the sack record and whether elite pass rushers are true needle movers

• Black Monday chaos, including coaching firings across the league

• The Browns parting ways with Kevin Stefanski after six seasons and multiple accolades

• The Cardinals’ revolving door with Jonathan Gannon

• The Raiders firing Pete Carroll and why stability matters

• The Packers limping into the playoffs on a four-game losing streak and what it actually means heading into postseason football

From culture to comedy to NFL reality checks, Episode 219 is a full plate. Tap in, lock in, and start the year the right way.
