The Dad Ball Podcast

A 35-0 loss, even in the preseason is enough to make you catch the blues. The cure? A Blueberry Saison from Three 3's Brewing in Hammonton, NJ, aka the blueberry capital of the world. In lighter topics Matt begs ESPN to get Max Kellerman back on boxing, and to revamp their coverage. He also discusses a Topps box from his collection, and a bit of Donruss redemption with 2 valuable finds to offset last week's cheapies. Plus he waxes poetic about playing catch.

Back with another jam-packed episode. Matt has dessert in the form of a beer from a collab with Forgotten Boardwalk and Norma's to produce a Pistachio Bakalawa Cream Ale. Then he jumps into discussing USA Hockey coaching clinics, the Phillies brush with success, the Flyers refacing the team on the fly, a valuable Topps box, and a few 93-94 Donruss hockey pulls.

It's mostly quiet on the Philly sports front...and that's ok. Matt talks about watching other teams and remember that it's ok to enjoy games, events helping break up the monotony of long seasons, and two books he's had time to read with only the Phillies left playing.

Plus it's the beer review! This week we've got a Core3 Nevermore Black Saison. Sounds scary, and the can art is!

A dessert IPA? Matt takes on a classic gelato espresso combination in IPA form via Atco Brewing Company's Affogato IPA, while discussing the finer points needed for Fan Controlled Football, and Fan Controlled sports in general to continue. Then he dives into his experience with control as a hockey coach, discussing the Sixers' maturity and role acceptance in the playoffs, the Phillies woes, and provides a cautionary word for the Eagles, along with some classic baseball cards as well.

The Flyers are in some serious trouble. Matt explores the deficiencies of the defense and tries to rally the call to question Mike Yeo. Also, there is one final pitch to watch Fan Controlled Football and to join the FCF and support the Glacier Boyz. Let's get #IcedOut ! Plus discussions about being a young coach and the beer review.

Axe & Arrow in Glassboro, NJ does a lot of fun things, and Irish potatoes are a fun thing. Instead of going the usual route, they made their version of this sweet treat into a white stout!
