Social Dragonfly

Come for an audio tour of the last part of my Southeast Asia trip with the sounds of Bali and Gili Islands. Bali is known for tropical drinks, yoga, ancient architecture, temples, and a welcoming attitude for tourists. But it is also known for instagram models, long waits for those aggragated posts and videos that go viral, wild parties, crazy traffic, and tourist traps.

I will remember it for ancient dances and stories, beautiful instruments, offering baskets, rhythmic chopping of ingredients, and very cheap and so very delicious food. And so much culture that I could not get enough of.

There is also Gili Trawangan, one island of a remote island chain, off the coast of Lombok, with it's own vibe and party attitude. But I loved it for it's snorkeling, the nightlife that resembled a speakeasy lounge, and bike riding.

I loved my time traveling on this trip, but I will never forget about Bali. The faces and people I met will be forever imprinted in my memory for a long time. It was so different from my day to day life and everyone should do it as well.

Well well well... and so the end is here... of the 2022 NFL Season.  It's been a ride and hopefully it's been fun for you to join us on Double Doinks and Sackles.... teaching you how to football.

On this episode, we are going to recap that amazing Super Bowl.  Sure there were that was suspect holding call, but it didn't ruin an otherwise amazing game.  Patrick Mahomes is the truth.  Jalen Hurts is also the truth.  We also talk about our favorite games of the season and our favorite games for our favorite teams (Vikings, Jaguars, and 49ers).

We have a commercial for a great Asian fusion restaurant in the Normal Heights area of San Diego.

And then we finish off the episode making way too early picks for next season's playoffs.  We talk about who can miss the playoffs who were in the playoffs this season and surprise playoff predictions.  We also talk about that quarterback free agency or trade carousel.

And Jimmy G the stat boy... uh Andrew talks about what's going to come up on this podcast in the next month or so.  Here's a hint.  There will be some Social Dragonfly episodes as Andrew is going to be visiting Southeast Asia on a very spiritual journey.  It's going to be fun and hopefully a little heartfelt.

Finally, we really would like to take this time to thank you for listening to this experimental Sports Podcast.  We started humbly and we ended this stretch having learned a lot and hopefully you'll continue to listen to whatever we might release on this page in the future.

And then there were two.  It's Super Bowl time.

On this week's episode, we try not to get PTSD from the Conference Championship games.  That 49ers/Eagles game was the worst.  That Bengals/Chiefs game was better but still something more to be desired.  We discuss some of the coaching movement and speculate on what could happen.

This week's commercial is about what you can do once the NFL football season is over.

And then we go over some Super Bowl prop bets and make our picks for the Super Bowl.

And then we have a heartfelt conversation about if we would actually want to go to the Super Bowl.

Thanks for listening to Double Doinks and Sackles.  We hope we taught you how to football.

What a great weekend of Divisional Round playoffs!

On this week's special show, we go over those playoff games.  The Jags had a chance.  The Giants had no chance.  The Bengals continue to surprise everyone except themselves.  And the Niners continue to do it with anything but an irrelevant player who's Purdy good.  What were the Cowboys doing?  What were the Bills doing?  We also chat a little bit about the various coaching changes going on in the league.

This week's commercial we visit a good place for a good burrito.  El Zarape.

We flashback to our Super Bowl picks back last Summer.  Some of us picked the wrong teams and some of us really picked the wrong teams.  But who picked the Eagles to make it this far?  Listen to find out.

And then we preview and make our picks for the Conference Championships while eating four increasingly spicy wings, because why not?  It gets a little weird and numb for some.  We also shout out Full Circle Saloon for their Chili cookoff during Pro Bowl Week.

Enjoy the games everyone!  We are almost at the Super Bowl!

What a Super Duper Stupendous Wild Card Weekend!  Lots of great action.  None of the fat and gristle.

In this week's episode, we go over what happened on Super Wild Card Weekend and what we can see happening next week in the Divisional Playoff weekend.  Are the Cowboys for real?  Do the Bills look like they can win despite the Allen turnovers.  Is Brock Purdy going to run out of luck?  Can the Jaguars upset another team?  We will see.

We will break down more of that Divisional Playoff weekend action.  Jimmy G the Stat Boy is drinking wine and has become a football savant, so listen in to listen to him teach you more about football.  Who knew?  Can't wait for this weekend's games.  DUVAL!
