Smith and Hazel

It’s Halloween week, but before the guys can get into the spooky stuff, there’s some important business to handle: the people have spoken, and EVERYONE wants T-Roy back ASAP! The guys also welcome some new listeners they met the only way they know how, playing Arc Raiders and trolling other players. Welcome aboard, you beautiful weirdos!

Then it’s time to dust off the draft boards and welcome back the one, the only, the questionably sober AI Mel Kiper for a Halloween themed draft! The guys go head to head selecting the best Halloween candy, the worst candy, the best horror villain, and the best horror weapon. Will Mel finally throw Hoosier a bone and deliver him a victory? Is Mel three sheets to the wind tonight? And how does a FULL SIZE CANDY BAR turn into a full blown draft controversy?

Plus, Joey reveals he’s apparently immune to the terror of Halloween horror walks, laughing at the actors instead of running for his life. Because nothing says bravery quite like laughing at a guy in a mask who’s trying to ruin your evening.

It’s Halloween, the draft picks are questionable, the tangents are inevitable, and AI Mel Kiper might need a breathalyzer before making his next selection

This week, the guys welcome in an ex-NFL player as a guest for a look inside the wild ride from high school All-American to the pros. He pulls back the curtain on the infamous New Orleans Saints rookie gauntlet, including the legal trouble that came along with it, shares stories of being a man among boys in high school, and explains the humbling realization that the talent level hits a whole different gear when you get to D1. Plus, we explore the undeniable power women have over men, debate English actors pulling off convincing American accents, take a few detours into the world of wrestling, and, naturally, find plenty of time to talk beer. It's NFL stories, locker room lore, and the usual collection of questionable tangents. Just another week with the boys!

Joey kicks things off with a recap of his AC/DC concert, proving that even at 70 years old, those rock legends can still bring the house down. From there, Hoosier decides it's time to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in the only way this podcast knows how, terrible Cheech and Chong accents and a Mexican Word of the Day style Spanish quiz that goes about as well as you'd expect.

Things take a darker turn as the guys discuss the upcoming livestream of a death penalty execution and rank the different ways they'd choose to meet their maker. Naturally, that leads to the inevitable question of what absolutely messed up shit has Joey stumbled across on the internet, and is he permanently scarred because of it?

Plus, the guys look ahead to the 2036 Olympics in Australia and brainstorm the absolute insanity that could unfold, before weighing in on Camryn Manheim's surprisingly candid comments about wishing her son had turned out gay.

It's rock and roll, questionable Spanish lessons, death row hypotheticals, internet trauma, and Olympic chaos. Just another completely normal episode of the podcast

This week, the guys kick things off with some listener feedback that puts Hoosier’s questionable math skills from last week on trial and somehow comes with another “How Much Would It Take?” question for the guys to debate.

Then Joey discovers that there is an actual medical term for a taint, which naturally leads to way more taint talk than anyone needed, along with a look back at Hoosier’s long lost dream of becoming a gynecologist. 

From there, the guys make one of their patented hard left turns into UFOs, discussing the SpaceX live feed, what might actually be flying around up there, and the different “races” of aliens that could be out there.

Next up is Mike Tomlin’s apparent addiction to Minecraft. Yes, you read that correctly.

Finally, Hoosier puts Joey on the therapy couch to try to figure out what the hell makes his ADHD brain tick. Is Joey in a dojo? Why does he keep bringing up a stepsister being stuck? 

Two Gen X college buddies, a fridge full of beer, and absolutely no reason to have a podcast

The guys are back, and this week they’ve got NFL QB injury drama hitting a little too close to home. They also take a look at Caleb Williams’ latest injury situation, including the dramatic reactions and photo shoots that have Joey questioning whether he’s actually injured or auditioning for a magazine cover.

Hoosier then dusts off the 2026 Dead Pool, and the guys check in on some of this year’s candidates to see who’s still standing.

Finally, things get weird when the guys play “How Much Would It Take?” How much money would it take to eat pizza for every meal for an entire year? Spend 48 hours locked in a room with snakes? And what other ridiculous scenarios would be worth suffering through for the right price?

NFL injuries, celebrity death predictions, questionable acting, and getting paid to make terrible life choices. Just another normal episode.

Joey finally gives Hoosier a chance to speak after completely dominating the microphone last week and apparently the listeners had some feelings about it. The guys dive into more listener feedback, including your picks and predictions from their NFL episode, before debating whether the Smith & Hazel jinx has officially surpassed the Madden Curse.

Then, thanks to yet another terrible segue, the conversation takes a hard left turn into the story of a woman who shit herself during a HYROX competition. Joey, naturally, has plenty of sound effects to contribute to this one.

Another questionable segue brings the guys to the Lindsey Clancy trial and the way social media has divided people, fueled speculation, and spread false information surrounding the case. They discuss the public reaction, the online theories, and the question of whether some women genuinely believe Clancy is innocent.

And because apparently nobody learned anything from the first two segues, one final topic change leads to Joey telling the story of being bullied at work by Harry Potter nerds.

Listener feedback, NFL predictions, curses, shit, true crime, social media chaos, and workplace wizardry. Just another completely normal episode.

The NFL is BACK, baby! And that means the guys are back with another completely reliable, definitely-not-going-to-age-poorly attempt at predicting how the NFL season will play out.

TJ returns for his annual appearance as the guys take another shot at picking division winners, playoff teams, and ultimately, the Super Bowl champion. But before making this year’s picks, they bring in some special AI guests to review last year’s predictions and fantasy advice. How did they do? Spoiler alert: probably not great.

The guys break down every NFL division, debate their biggest hot takes, and throw out some fantasy football tidbits along the way. There’s also plenty of Notre Dame slander, because apparently they can’t go an episode without it, plus a potential bet involving the Giants-Commanders rivalry that may or may not be a terrible idea.

They wrap things up with their official Super Bowl predictions and, as always, make a bunch of picks that will either look brilliant or absolutely fucking ridiculous by January.

The NFL season is here. Let’s see how badly they screw this one up.

The guys kick things off with a few beers and dive into listener feedback on their sitcom draft including the shows they somehow forgot to pick. Then things take a turn as they debate whether everyone on Yellowstone is a dick and whether Hoosier actually watches those wild first amendment auditor videos.

The conversation moves to social media as Joey and Hoosier rank their favorite apps and reveal the kinds of videos they can’t stop watching. Are they both complete saps for videos of military members returning home? You be the judge. 🇺🇸

They also reflect on some recent celebrity deaths. RIP Dolly, and your fake boobs and pay tribute to a few others who have passed. 

And because we apparently haven't had enough controversial opinions, the show wraps up with Hoosier's name game, where Joey has to choose between two people and give his always questionable, frequently controversial take on who he'd rather pick. 

Another episode of beers, bad opinions, questionable internet habits, and absolutely no shortage of arguments

We kick things off with some quick movie and TV talk before getting down to business with another AI draft.  Joey and Hoosier take turns building their dream rosters of the greatest sitcoms of all time.

And because neither of these guys can simply make a draft without arguing about it, we bring in our very own AI Mel Kiper Jr. to break down every pick, call out the reaches, identify the steals, and ultimately declare a winner.

Who landed the best sitcom? Who got the steal of the draft? Which picks were absolute reaches? And most importantly did Hoosier finally get Mel on his side

It's a draft full of nostalgia, questionable scouting, trash talk, and some extremely strong opinions about television

This week, the guys take you along for a recap of their trip to Kentucky to visit some old friends

They break down the distillery tours, questionable amounts of Bourbon, day drinking, floating, and cliff jumping, before getting into the nighttime shenanigans. Things take a turn when Mad Dog enters the picture and Joey discovers his true calling as the Scat Man. 

Then comes the journey home, which somehow manages to be almost as chaotic as the trip itself, complete with flight from hell stories and an unexpected celebrity sighting

It’s bourbon, bad decisions, old friends, and enough Kentucky chaos to make you question how these guys actually made it home.
