November 14, 2025 #384: I Never Forget the Anger
Jon and B are BACK. We give an early Wolves report card, check in on JJ and then Jon offers an outlook on the 2026 Twins that doubles as a cry for help. We end with some footie talk and our famous “What is Jon Missing” pop culture segment.

October 23, 2025 #382: Tullamore Stu
It’s Wolves Season Preview night. We break down all (some) of the angles of the upcoming season with a special guest appearance from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Truly an honor.

October 02, 2025#380: Like Menudo!
It's been a newsy week, as the Twins season is over, the Lynx season is over, and the Vikings season is over (pending this week's offensive line injury report). Jon, Chicken, and returning podcast hero Stu are here to discuss such pressing topics as:

A new Pohlad has entered the chat
Cheryl Reeve, American hero?
The Vikings offensive line is made of injuries
Kirill Kaprizov, and new Wild hero Beef Bouillon

September 26, 2025 #379: Gideon's Orb
Another raw-dog sesh for the true fans. Chicken leapt off the top rope to take it to the Twins brass, we previewed the Vikings game and then a Top 6 that set a new low for preparation time. Plus we reveal the sordid history of Bob J Pillsbury and what he did on the senate floor in 1903. It all makes sense when you listen (it does not make sense).

September 19, 2025 #378: Playing on Planet Jupiter
This week on the Sportive, Jon and Chiken - the hockey guys! - review the first day of Wild training camp, because it's important to talk about the Wild when only two guys managed to have long-term injuries announced on the first day of training camp. Will the Wild have a team by the time the first preseason game rolls around, which is somehow on Sunday? Will the Vikings be able to field a team by Sunday? PLUS: Jon asks for controversy in college hockey and gets way more than he bargained for.

September 12, 2025 #377: In an Imputin' Mood
Welcome to Deep Dive Central. We go long on the Vikings crazy win, the Kaprizov contract stalemate, a recent Saints game, and the incredibly fun Kawhi shenanigans.

September 05, 2025 #376: Raw-Dog the Cross Fade
We miraculously recorded this episode IN PERSON, at the great Surly Beer Hall. Discussed: Tyler Childers, NFL games preview, Stu's upcoming Gopher game suite situaish, MLB playoff teams rootability rankings, and a deer hunting game plan. A glorious hour-plus.

August 28, 2025 #375: Forgot The Titans
We finally unveil our long-awaited and opposite-of-shocking thoughts about the Pohlads calling off the sale: it stinks. After we get that off our chest, we preview the Gopher football season, select our AFC Team of the Year and reach a new low in our Top 6 segment (literally and figuratively).

August 21, 2025 #374: The Bader Impact
After an accidental tangent into little league baseball, we unleash our famous annual Vikings preview (horn sound). We air grievances then predict our bros, turds and wins on the year. The finale was a Top 6 that utilizes the most cutting edge of technological advancements. The results will shock and awe listeners. The future is HERE.
