After a weeklong hiatus due to a recording malfunction, Julian and Jacob are back to talk about the NBA All-Star selections. A lot of the picks were very deserved, a couple may not have been. Afterwards, the guys discuss the early MVP favorites and who looks to be running away with the race.

This week, Julian and Jacob go over some of the biggest storylines to come out of the Super Bowl, and what's been going on with all of the trade rumors surrounding quarterbacks across the league.

This week Jacob and Julian discuss the Big Game and why it has to be called the "Big Game" before picking winners and then going way too in depth on some random prop bets. They close the show with some brief NBA discussion and, because Julian is insane, even more trivia.

This week Julian and Jacob talk about some of the top storylines in the NBA. From the Lakers dominance, to bubble teams in each conference. There is also a fair bit of discussion regarding way to soon MVP odds and title odds. 

We apologize for the rumbling heard periodically throughout the podcast, Julian couldn't stop fidgeting with his microphone for whatever reason.

After a bit of banter, Julian and Jacob (AKA Gus "Sillypants" Jackson) discuss the implications of James Harden being traded to the New York Nets. Then they go over the penultimate week of the NFL season and what we can expect from the four teams left standing.

This week starts with a brand new segment to quickly cover the NBA. Then Julian and Jacob stroll over to the NFL where they cover every Divisional Round game. To close out the show, Black Monday and all of the coaching vacancies from around the league are discussed. Make sure to stick around for the lengthy rant that Julian goes on at the end of the show. If you think the Chicago Bears have been messing up, you'll wanna hear this rant.

This week, Julian and Jacob talk about all things related to the wildcard round of the NFL playoffs while taking time to make fun of the ridiculous name the NFL has given it. At the end of the show the pair will go over a few storylines from the past week of the NBA season. 

The intro music has not changed but will be changed for next week. The bit was just a little too funny to me to cut out, so, ignore it?
