Let's Get Topical

It's good to be back! We hit on some early NFL highlights from the preseason. Sam creates the perfect NBA starting five comprised of left-handed players. A bit of housekeeping conversations on how we plan to have the most fun during NFL season - fantasy football is in the air and it smells DELICIOUS. The Baltimore Orioles are parked in reverse, thus a new Hot Collar Trough tradition comes to fruition - oh yeah, it's five good minutes of the Orioles, almost rhymes with oral, but it doesn't. We're officially back, enjoy us. 

Schmidt and Violante reconvene for a quick lunchtime sesh on the mic, talking Field of Dreams game, Jacob getting cucked by a bartender that wouldn't turn on the Field of Dreams game, and a look ahead to the NFL season. Going to try to make this a regular thing again, but for now, just the tip!

The Boys are back in town! We're back and rustier than ever! From halfway across the United States, Jacob runs out the video podcast for a wildcard move for the ages. Allow us to collect our thoughts and ourselves. Nestle up with a nice dog, maybe a dog park involved, and throw those airpods in and get Hot under your Collar.

It was a rainy Saturday in Venice as Sam sat and waited patiently for the 52mg of medicinal cannabis to deliver a stunting blow to his compulsion to do anything other than soak in the sweet, sweet aroma of college hoops. Alas, a text from Jacob, the God of Pod, requesting a session on the mic, an event absent to the previous 18 turns of the sun. We pulled out early on a Netflix convo that's just enough but not too much, first in show history. Christian Wood over in points for the night of 1/23 plus other NBA bets, so get this one early.

As the Hot Collar Trough approaches an inclement flux in production, we give one last hurrah before the hurricane of responsibility moves over our shores. Week 17 of the NFL season treated us to some classic moments as we sneak an extra team into the playoffs, because fuck it. What's does the game of Croquet and a Serena Williams backhand have in common? A lot, Jacob provides the missing link for your ears' listening pleasure. 2021 is here and like 2020, our fear is behind us. Swing for the fences because they're not getting any closer, son.

What's up, what's up and happy holidays to the dog in your life. Chanukah, Christmas, Festivus, really any sort of seasonal fest that you apply yourself to - happy that. One person the Hot Collar Trough will not be formally sending a Season's Greetings to is one Art Briles as he finds his next high school to be weird at. Time to fill your bellies with some NBA ACTION; just stop before you start looking like James Harden. Sam finds out mid-show that Clemson and Notre Dame are playing again this weekend, thank you to everyone that invited him to their watch parties. Finally, given that the Cleveland baseball organization will be drawing name ideas directly from this program, we announce the three finalists live on the show! What a life, eat some cookies, fill thy air with pine!
