December 14, 2023Episode XLI - IntegribilityThe Rigs return with their 41st episode for those who struggle with the roman numerals like Pete. We start off with Pete admitting his mistake with the Ohtani news and we discuss a new word in the Rigs vernacular. We then pivot to a pair of Ric sob stories as we discuss the Red Sox and the state of Bill Belichick with the Patriots. After wiping the tears, Ric lets us in on a little conspiracy involving the NFL and the Super Bowl, Dean tells us to wait until March to care about Purdue, and Pete successfully find something new to be angry about. We close out with picks, a little bit of pick legislation, and then some shoutouts....more1h 18minPlay
December 08, 2023Episode XL - BREAKING NEWSThe Rigs return with breaking news that'll shock the sporting world. In other news, Pete tells us the long list of things that has to happen before the World Series is back on in New York while Ric is just sad about the state of the Red Sox. We pivot over to the NBA and in the In-Season tournament where Pete has another important share for the listeners and we talk about an Indiana professional sports team for the second week in a row. We quickly discuss the college football playoff as Pete gets his wish for Florida State to be left out of the playoff before sending his negative vibes to another team.. We then get a spice update on the NFL from Ric whose boycott still includes giving the NFL money for Sunday Ticket. Finally, we close out with very exclusive shoutouts and performance reviews with Manager Pete...I mean picks....more1h 13minPlay
November 30, 2023Episode XXXIX - Where's the spice?The Rigs are on fire...returning for a third weekly episode in a row. We start off by breaking down conference championship weekend and the college football playoff rankings. If you listen long enough, you'll hopefully find out what is going to happen...and wonder what Pete's deal is with FSU. We then pivot over to NFL, where Ric can't figure out why his cookies taste like crap and Dean welcomes some new members of the Colts bandwagon. Finally, we hit our weekly Yankee segment where Pete doesn't think the World Series is winnable any time soon before closing out with Ric's dumb observation and more Pete complaining about the NBA. If you're still listening, we look to reward with you with some winners....more1h 25minPlay
November 22, 2023Episode XXXVIII - Rigs 1-Year AnniversaryThe Rigs return and finally string a pair of weekly episodes together. In celebration of 1 year of episodes, we have an extended episode with a little bit of everything to share with your friends and family at Thanksgiving. We start off with a breakdown of Eagles-Chiefs, the state of the NFL, and have a group counseling session for Pete and the Jets. In typical Rigs fashion, we eventually move over to college football, trying to predict what chaos is going to happen amidst the CFP rankings and more discussion about U.S. geography. After a quick breakdown of Feast Week, Bill Walton, and 30 seconds of Purdue basketball, we discuss baseball and possible expansion before closing out with picks....more1h 26minPlay
November 15, 2023Episode XXXVII - Welcome to the BottomThe Rigs return after recovering their password. Honest mistake. We start with Pete and Dean giving Ric a free counseling session on what it's like being a fan of a basement-dwelling football team. The Rigs continue to be directionally-challenged but we manage to pick our winners of every NFL division. We move over to college football where we're jumping on the Michigan scorched earth bandwagon and trying to predict what chaos is going to happen with the College Football Playoff. Because of the long layoff, Ric delivers not one, not two, not three...but actually just two dumb observations which will leave you dumbfounded. We then move to some miscellaneous talk which means we're making fun of the Yankees. We do a couple of quick shoutouts to the listeners and then close with picks...because Dean can't be above .500 forever....more1h 15minPlay
October 27, 2023Episode XXXVI - Sorry guys, I gotta take this.The Rigs return with a marathon of a pod that has been chopped down for your listening pleasure. We lead off with baseball as Dean tries to hold back his tears with his 2023 Astros sob story and Pete tries to cover up that he's afraid of snakes. After taking a station break for an important phone call, we discuss Pete's favorite sport and James Harden's ongoing battle with the Sixers. We then discuss the Michigan sign-stealing scandal with our professional cheating expert...and Pete's take will surprise you. After agreeing that sign-stealing is not a big deal, we discuss a little bit of NFL and Ric shares his latest dumb observation. Finally, if you made it to the end...we close out with picks and a special callout to the city of Chicago....more58minPlay
October 19, 2023Episode XXXV - New Rigs, Who dis?The Rigs return with a new paint job...a metaphorical one...and the boys are buzzing...well at least Pete is. We start on a high note with the Jets and Zach Wilson turning the corner (or at least "a corner"), before diving into depressing matters of Anthony Richardson being done for the season and the Patriots being horrendous. We do our weekly state of the union for the Bears and discuss the best...and worst...teams in the NFL as we near the midway point. We then pivot to college football, do our best to skip over a certain team, and start looking ahead to playoff scenarios for undefeated and 1-loss seasons. Finally, after taking a few pot shots at some college fanbases, Ric debuts a new segment as we try to bring more structure to the pod! (lol) If the listeners aren't asleep yet, we finish the job with an MLB playoffs update....more1h 10minPlay
October 06, 2023Episode XXXIV - Rigs to the rescueThe Rigs return in their attempt to maintain a weekly schedule and Pete is fired up. We skip the pre-show meeting and jump right into things. Chicago has lit the bat signal, so the Rigs have boots on the ground to try to save the Bears. The NFL season is almost a quarter over, so we discuss which teams are already looking to the off-season as well as Ric's thoughts on NFL locker room amenities. While attempting and failing to stay on track, we discuss college football and preview some of the premier matchups this weekend. We get to Pete's favorite segment and discuss the impact of the Dame trade on the NBA Eastern Conference. Finally, Ric and Pete try to hold back their tears as we preview an MLB postseason without the Yankees or Red Sox. As usual, we close out with picks...and we're not sure if there is a game that Dean didn't pick....more1h 29minPlay
September 28, 2023Episode XXXIII - AccountabilityThe Rigs return after a long hiatus thanks to a poorly-scheduled Euro trip. Since nothing happened while we were away, this is a short episode. Pete takes us down memory lane of opening weekend for the Jets and gives us the state of the union of the Zach Wilson Jets (with a shoutout to Mark Sanchez). Dean's team is somehow 2-1 but their stud rookie cannot finish a game, so that's something. Meanwhile, Ric's team has a lighthouse. We pivot over to college and discuss some of the early surprises of the college season and confirm that Ric still "hates" CU. Your weekly Purdue update is the same as before: they suck. Finally, we cover some breaking news in the NBA: Pete still hates it...and Dame Lillard also got traded. We close out by trying to teach Pete about accountability, some MLB talk, and everyone's favorite segment: picks....more1h 44minPlay
September 07, 2023Episode XXXII - The NFL...has returned!The Rigs return just in time for the start of the NFL season...but first, we recap a fun opening weekend of college football. Pete celebrates a big Colorado win (albeit with an unfortunate betting mishap), Ric tries to convince us that he didn't order a CU jersey from China over the weekend, and Dean is still upset about TCU making last year's playoff. Also, Purdue still stinks (Not National news). We pivot into big boy football and preview the slate of Week 1 games. We try to contain our collective excitement as Pete starts overdosing on hope, Dean wants the Colts to have fun, and Ric doesn't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Finally it wouldn't be a complete podcast if we didn't mention that Pete is back on the Yankees bandwagon, courtesy of Michael Kay and 0.5% probability outcomes. We close out with some NFL Week 1 picks before sending Dean out of the country....more1h 8minPlay
