Ward & Tyler are back from the holiday break, and there are NFL playoff games to breakdown. The duo talk about what to expect from the first round of action on side A. Ward wants to discuss Tyler’s 2023 album release predictions because there’s an alarming rate of them coming true early in the year on side B (1:23:53).

It’s here! Finally time to breakdown the albums that had the biggest impact on us this year. Before jumping into the list, we preview which artists/bands we think will release new albums in ‘23.

A sports only episode before we bring you our favorite albums of the year. From World Cup to NFL, the games were unbelievable this weekend.

It’s finally time to let our listeners what caught our attention in 2022. For the first part, we present to your our favorite TV shows and movies from the last year and why they made our lists (28:44). Prior to that we break down a bit of sports and pour one out for Ward’s fantasy season.

R.I.P. to the US national team, fantasy football wins, and a big game between Cincy & KC. The college football playoff is set, and Tyler & Ward give their predictions. What’s next for SF after losing Jimmy G for the season? The pair also discuss some recent vinyl pickups and arrivals.

Friend of the pod Brett Wilson joins us for an extended talk about World Cup, what music has caught his ear in ‘22, and August Burns Red Christmas shows.

Side A isn’t about football or basketball this week; World Cup has begun! We discuss the USA match and lay out our expectations of how far the national team can go. A flat fantasy week from the big stars, and you never leave time in the clock for Mahomes. Side B (45:55) brings some Black Friday Record Store Day talk, a Turnstile/Snail Mail concert recap, and thoughts about mixing genres on a tour bill.

We start off a shorter sports segment discussing the Vikings/Bills classic and the fantasy matchup between cohosts. Spoiler alert, Tyler won. Then we break down the newly announced Grammy nominations, step out of bounds for some Black Panther Wakanda Forever talk, and cap off the episode with Ward sharing some new music (56:25).

Ward laments the downfall of his fantasy football team. The two recap the World Series (baseball?!), the dud of a game between Tennessee & Georgia, and the slow and surprising starts to the NBA season. There was a lot of music released this past Friday. Did Drake & 21 Savage deliver? Turnover did release an album. Tyler forgot about Kings Kaleidoscope last week and is still stuck on music from 2012 while Ward gets his favorite albums list together. (56:03)

Recovering from post-wedding fuzz, Tyler & Ward discuss where they stand in the current fantasy season, the Steelers offensive woes, and what’s wrong with the Sixers before talking about some Halloween movies and spooky tunes.
