  • In No Particular Order: Top 5 Board Games

    Buckle up, because this week we’re stepping directly into chaos: we’re ranking our Top 5 Board Games, and things get spicy. Friendships are tested, childhoods are questioned, and at least one of us absolutely betrays the group with a pick so outrageous it might break the podcast.

    We debate classics vs. modern hits, strategy vs. nostalgia, and whether certain games even count as “board games” (yes, that argument happens). In true us fashion, we spiral into side rants, call out each other’s bad takes, and defend our favorite games like our reputations depend on it.

    If you’re ready for hot takes, passionate rants, and maybe even a little board-flipping energy… this is the episode for you. Be sure to comment, like, and subscribe to the pod on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube

  • These Aren't Our Monkeys | EP 58

    This episode is packed with storylines from every corner of the sports world—and a little chaos from Mississippi.

    We kick things off with the Saints, who turned to Tyler Shough as their starting quarterback in a tough loss to the Rams. We break down how he looked, what worked, what didn’t, and where New Orleans goes from here. Then it’s on to baseball, where the Dodgers have officially gone back-to-back as World Series champions. College football didn’t disappoint either, and the coaching carousel has already started spinning. We walk through the latest NCAA firings, the jobs that are opening up, who might be next, and which programs could be on the rise—or in for a long rebuild.

    Hockey season is also underway, so we give early impressions of our teams: what surprised us, what concerns us, and which players already look locked in. Off the field, we recap Sean’s annual Halloween party. And somehow the strangest story of the week didn’t happen at the party but on a Mississippi highway, where a wreck led to actual monkeys escaping.

    It’s a full episode—sports, costumes, and chimps. Don’t miss it! Be sure to comment, like, and subscribe to our Spotify and YouTube channels.

  • Stark Naked In Stark Vegas | EP 57

    On this episode, the guys finally get to celebrate as the Saints notch their first win of the season! We break down what impressed us most and what still needs work. Then, it’s a dive into college football as we talk Florida, Mississippi State, and Ohio State’s latest performances. The MLB playoffs are heating up, and we’re getting ready for the NHL season opener.

To wrap things up, Mike and Russell share updates on their current projects.

  • In No Particular Order: Top 5 Football Movies

    In this episode, the guys dive into the world of football movies! We each rank our Top 5 favorite football films — from classics to under-the-radar gems — and debate which ones truly capture the spirit of the game. Then, things get heated when we tackle a big question: Is Rudy actually a good movie, or just overrated nostalgia? Tune in for plenty of laughs, hot takes, and maybe a few surprise picks along the way.

  • A Good Shot Of The Vas Deferens | EP 56

    The guys are back, and there’s plenty to talk about — starting with the Saints’ rough 0-3 start and what’s gone wrong so far. We shift gears to the excitement of the NHL season kicking off and the MLB playoffs heating up. Then, it’s storytime as we recap a couple of recent parties some of the crew attended and plan for Sean’s upcoming Halloween bash. Just when things start to sound normal, Travis shares a story that somehow turns into a deep (and hilarious) dive into men’s hygiene — in a very specific area.
