Switching Teams: A Gay Dude and a Straight Dude Talk Sports

This week Ronn and Joe talk hockey, baseball, football, first jobs, squirrels, casinos for kids, special birthday songs, how many "i"s there are in "Pimlico," and how not to sing along with the national anthem. The boys discuss the value of a no-hitter, and we learn who is more of a team guy. They reflect on Derek Jeter’s retirement by discussing some scandalous (but not really) rumors about him; they try fake-yelling at each other about Tony Romo and Jay Cutler, and Ronn shares some Preakness fun facts. There is also a surprising amount of belching. Follow us @weloveswitching

It’s our Kentucky Derby recap! Who won, who lost, who finished worse than the horse with one eye, and why the Derby is actually a very elaborate ad for Grindr. We discuss the NHL, NBA, NFL, KC & The Sunshine Band, symmetrical faces, and the prenatal benefits of the Burger King fish sandwich. Ronn is terrified of wet clothing, and Joe has a tough time deciding which team *not to root for in the Caps/Pens series. Ronn plays a game of “Is He Gay?”, and Joe plays a great new game: “Preakness Winner or Gay Bar?”

Ronn and Joe discuss the NFL draft, the World Masters Games, the NBA and NHL playoffs, one-eyed horses, sports karma, Yelping your college, baseball umpires, and school lunches.

Ronn gets patriotic (radio edit and remix included) and eats a lot of quiche. Joe goes on a 30-second rant and has to guess obscure sports team names. Plus the boys play a game of “What’s the Word?” and Ronn gets us ready for the Kentucky Derby.

The boys discuss the NHL playoffs, the Boston Marathon, and Eli Manning. They return to the world of competitive eating, and Ronn shares more Kentucky Derby fun facts. Joe tests Ronn’s knowledge of Canadian TV, and finds out what Rocky Mountain Oysters are. Ronn has interesting ideas for Joe’s wardrobe, and takes a ride with the best cab driver ever.

Ronn and Joe discuss the NHL and the Olympics, rally cats, competitive eating, career day, the Food Network, the NFL, and compose the oral history of the New Jersey Devil. Ronn shares some fun facts about the Kentucky (Fried) Derby, and Joe gives his Stanley Cup Playoff predictions.

It’s Opening Day! Ronn and Joe talk baseball: good grub, crazy contracts, and bad hashtags. Ronn outlines his dream to haunt comedy clubs and Joe discusses what it takes for Philly fans to embrace a goaltender. They find what may be the strangest ice skating music ever, and what’s going on with that bust of Ronaldo? The boys play a game of “What’s the Word?” and head to Santa Anita Park to bet the ponies.

Ronn gets a taste of life at the top 2%; Ronn and Joe discuss career options for Tony Romo, ways to keep Oakland’s teams in Oakland, and learn about Ronn’s connection between football and craft stores. The boys play a game of “How To Fix It” with the baseball’s  bizarre extra innings rule, and they try to Win Win Win at Sunland Park in New Mexico.

Ronn and Joe discuss bracket busting, Ronn’s first job, crazy sports parents, Shania Twain, and the time Joe’s alma mater was actually in the tournament. We play a game of “Is He Gay?” and Ronn takes us to bet the ponies at Golden Gate Fields in Berkeley, CA. We also have a much better name for Golden Gate Fields.

A special super-sized episode wherein Ronn and Joe are joined by their good friend Caitlin Gill! Caitlin joins in for a game of What’s the Word; we reveal our Final Four teams (hint: Ronn did a lot more research than Joe did). We play a new game — If You Were A Racehorse, What Would Your Name Be?, and Ronn takes us to Turf Paradise in Phoenix, AZ to bet the ponies.
