  • The Name Is Actually Changing, Maybe

    Jamie and Matt discuss the sudden seeming certainty that the Redskins will have a new name the next time they take the field. There are some minor audio issues (misaligned tracks, mainly) for the first minute or so but then it seems to clear up.

    41 min
  • On HBO’s WATCHMEN

    Matt and Jamie talk about WATCHMEN -- mainly the (stellar) HBO show, but Matt also drones on ENDLESSLY about the comic book, and touches on the (abysmal) 2009 movie version. 

    🚨🚨SPOILERS FOR EVERYTHING THROUGHOUT. 🚨🚨

    The guys also grapple with centuries of institutional racism and their own need to educate themselves, and also talk about the Redskins grappling with their own institutional racism in the form of George Preston Marshall. 


    53 min
  • 2020 Pre-Draft Breakdown

    Despite both admittedly having no particular insight or knowledge, Jamie and Matt happily break down the possibilities for the Skins in the upcoming NFL Draft. Then they talk about life during COVID-19 and discuss if there will be over or under 9.5 games in the 2020 NFL season. Jamie tries to sell Matt on #TheLastDance and (in a surprise twist) a deep-cut Grateful Dead podcast, and Matt tries to sell Jamie on a pointless music-related diversion.

    51 min
  • 2020 Offseason Check-In
    Matt pulls Jamie away from his die-hard DC Defenders fandom and forces him to discuss the Redskins offseason. (Also, there’s a Super Tuesday bit at the beginning that I promise is over quickly and doesn’t actually get particularly political. Don’t panic and bail!)
    43 min
  • Welcome Ron Burgundy and Postseason Wrap-up
    Jamie and Matt discuss the Redskins’ coaching change and late Thanksgiving celebration, then move on to the Nationals’ odd signing (33:00), the Mandalorian season finale and other Star Wars minutiae (35:20), mention a couple of music podcasts (44:15), and wrap up by talking about how other NFC East teams are handling their coaching searches (49:40).
    54 min
  • Week 15, vs. Philadelphia
    Jamie and Matt discuss easily the best-looking loss in a season full of losses, debate Urban Meyer as a potential head coach, and weigh the realism of a Bill Callahan return. Then Jamie lets Matt rave about Watchmen, they discuss Mandalorian, and Jamie breaks down Drew Magary’s novel-length Stephen A Smith interview. The audio is probably still screwy but we can’t even bear to check before posting.

  • Week 14, @ Green Bay

    [NOTE: Sorry for the posting/unposting and the general delays. We’re still bumping into an audio issue — our tracks are slightly misaligned so it sounds like Jamie takes loooooooong pauses before responding and then Matt talks over him. We’re exploring options to fix it in future weeks but decided to post this one as-is rather than skipping another week. Truly, we are the Redskins of podcasting.] The dream -- or nightmare -- of a fluky playoff run is dead, and Jamie and Matt speculate on what might be next. Then, some light, spoiler-free discussion of The Mandalorian, a weirdly deep-dive into things The Ringer is good at, and some other general chatter.

    36 min
  • Week 13 @ Carolina
    Matt and Jamie wrestle with a genuinely good performance by the Redskins and have difficulty remembering how to process positivity. Then, some light Mandalorian talk, discussion of Jamie's "400 Best Songs of the 2010s For Real," and Matt gets positively effusive about HBO's Watchmen. Check out Jamie's Best Songs playlist here.
    38 min
  • Week 11 vs. NY Jets
    Jamie and Matt discuss the hapless Redskins, if they would root for a hypothetical D.C. AFC team, the curse of the Redskins defensive backfield, Tua and the draft, and then (30:30) pivot to a spoilery discussion about The Mandalorian.
    48 min
  • Week 9 @ Buffalo

    Jamie and Matt contrast the euphoria of the Nationals World Series win with the sheer mindless tedium of Redskins fandom and reach the startling conclusion that winning teams are easier to root for. Also, some technical glitches plague the last few seconds of the podcast and deprive Jamie of his usual final words, but honestly, by this point in a lost season, who really cares?
