Us OG Wolves guys chest-bump about our squad, piss & moan about Jamal Murray being a baby, and welcome the bandwagon fans with open arms like the mensches we are and have always been. Then first thoughts about the JJ McCarthy pick, and later a quick chat on traveling baseball coaches. Jon dropped off at one point, Stu briefly forgot how to construct a sentence, and we yet again had technical difficulties. We are back. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#363: Just Because It's Right, Doesn't Make It Interesting

We turned in our Super Famous Annual High School Hockey Preview right at deadline. Come for the matchups, stay for the facts. We never said they were fun. Mentioned: Bock Fest, arson, Jesse James, white flight, Egypt, CEO payouts, Edina notable residents, and what the word Mahtomedhi means in Dakota. We are all shocked to our core but choosing to believe it. Also another Top 6 and the return of our old friend audio problems near the end. We are so back.  Hosted on Acast.

#362: The Worst Thing Judy Garland Ever Did

Brand new year, same old us. Covered: Vikings QB options this offseason, NFL playoff teams rooting interest, Wolves/Wild, how to pronounce schadenfreude, a Top 6 and New Year’s resolutions.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#361: Raw-Dogging Reality

Happy New Year! Jon and CF are back, the Chopped Liver edition of the podcast, to talk about the things that Brandon and Stu won't talk about. Chiefly: 
The NHL has a referee problem on their hands, and they're not doing anything about itThe Vikings are starting the wrong disaster at quarterbackWe knew the Twins offseason was going to be bad, but I don't think we understood just how bad
 If you want to know what kind of episode this was: this started with 15 minutes of tangents before we ever talked about anything related to sports. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
