Jared and I turn off the heated rivalry for a few minutes to record today as our teams prepare to go head to head in a top of the table clash in the Premier League!  Arsenal top and Newcastle third in a massive January fixture - you'd have called us crazy even just a year ago if we said that would happen.  Lineups just in and now just trying to finish typing the end of this sentence so I can do the timestamps and then click publish and finish this damn pod haha

Just like the high school football coach who holds mandatory three-a-days and doesn't give water breaks because it's a "sign of weakness," the traveling supporters are whipping me and Jared to produce content, and we have no choice but to comply.  Can only imagine how these players are feeling...

Seriously, screw that guy.  His dad pushed me in a Frisco, Texas restaurant after his son's team lost in the College Cup and I'm still hanging on to that, and blame Corben himself.  Maryland with the last laugh in that one, obviously - 2008 champs!  What does this have to do with the podcast?  Nothing, really.  Or does it??  You'll just have to listen.
