Napiera recaps the Super Bowl with C-Nell. Drake Maye dropped the ball in the worst way, Bad Bunny stole the show in the best way. And in all ways, they look to the future, be it the NFL or the NBA… Or even The Catch Up itself, as Napiera announces the season, perhaps series finale, of this version of the podcast.  

And with that… Peace!

Guest: Cornell “C-Nell” Hope 

Episode: 2e18 (finale)

Nape and Nell discuss the AFC and NFC Championship games leading up to... The Super Bowl. It's Drake May vs Sam Darnold. And, once again, the Seahawks vs... The New England Patriots. Again?!? Big Game predictions, halftime thoughts, and more — on The Catch Up!

Episode: 2e17

Defense ruled a day filled with shaky quarterback moments and big coaching questions. Was Pats Texans great defense or just offensive chaos? Is CJ Stroud just young? And.... Is Josh Allen running out of time in Buffalo? Coaching still matters in LA, heart in Chicago, and the NFL coaching carousel gets messy all over the place. Plus, Conference Championship picks 🏈

Episode: 2e16

Nape breaks down a WILD Wild Card weekend—highlighting Caleb Williams’ huge comeback, debating boring playoff matchups, and arguing over who’s actually a “problem” (Drake May vs the Patriots defense) with her cous-o, C-Nell. Then, the usual full Bengals meltdown about cheap-a$$ ownership refusing to fire Zac Taylor, before closing with divisional-round picks and coaching carousel speculation.

Episode: 2e15

Pastor Nell opens the ep — givin “all due disrespect” to the Baltimore Ravens, who go out in the most Ravens way possible: a missed last-second field goal in Pittsburgh. Our condolences! 😂

From there, Nape and Nell talk reckless about the Ratbirds being a permanent choking hazard, debate whether Lamar gets any grace, then roll into wild card weekend picks (Bills/Jags, Rams/Panthers, Bears/Packers, Pats/Chargers, Texans/Steelers, Eagles/Niners).  

More Bengals misery — these cheap ass mf’s are “running it back” with ZT (poverty franchise alert!!!). Finally, Lakers & Knicks, plus Pluribus & Emily in Paris.

Christmas is upon us, and there's a lot to be thankful for. Does that include the Bengals? C-Nell and Nape break down the team, the league, before celebrating the NBA — especially the KNICKS! — and wrapping up their favorite movies of the season. See you next year!

A LOT to catch up on! Zack’s Whack. Season’s Cooked. Joe’s Furrowed. But Napiera survived her B-Day, and we back! Bengals dominated Turkey Day, but it’s been all downhill since — and with the recent goose egg, the season is officially cooked. Joe’s furrowed, but whack Taylor be wanting to… Keep playing him? Will someone show this clown the door?  But Nape’s Knicks and Nell’s Lakes are alive and well. The NBA Cup is upon us, and Napiera is ready. Go New York, go New York, go!

Episode: 2e12

Joe Burrow refuses to ride the bench, Cincinnati’s playoff odds are microscopic — but present — and Napiera and Cornell repare for the worst as the Bengals travel to Baltimore. Again. Is “Glass Joe” at risk?

Then they pivot to the Lake show — Napiera glazes LeBron again, and holiday chaos is on the docket. Happy Thanksgiving. F*** the pilgrims!

Guest: Cornell Hope

Napiera and CNell break down Jamar Chase’s suspension after the craziness — spitting on Jalen Ramsey. Unpacking not just the football fallout but the  deeper weight, all while swapping wild stories and calling out the Bengals’ death spiral of a season. Burrows return, the Chiefs’ Swift-era slump, surprise NFC shakeups, a full 80s-movie nostalgia tour featuring Goonies and Big Trouble in Little China — lets get it.

Host: Napiera Groves-Boykin

Guest: C-Nell

Napiera and C-Nell break down Joe Burrow’s return energy and whether the Bengals should even let him touch the field with that defense and that O-line. Around the league, nobody looks great, Russ is seeing ghosts, Jameis finally gets the nod, and Thursday Night Football is giving “nah, we’re good.” In the NBA, the Lakers look happy, the Knicks look dangerous, OKC and San Antonio look unfair, and Harden still looks miserable. Plus, a quick tease of fall breakup albums... And Napiera's not a materialist.
