FANCY Fantasy Football Podcast

Episode Notes Welcome back to Part 2, the finale, of the FANCY Halloween Movie Spectacular. I would again like to sincerely thank my guests, Abby, John, and Jen for watching a bunch of Halloween movies and chatting with me about them for a looooooong time. As I mention in the intro, this episode begins with more talk with all four of us, and then a brief chat with just Jen and me, and then finally...

Episode Notes Here it is! PART 1 of the annual Halloween movie discussion extravaganza, this time even more ambitiously featuring myself and THREE guests. We had so much fun and had so much to say that I had to cut it into two parts, and this is just part one. Please enjoy, and come back for Part 2 soon! The NEW theme song (perhaps it will stick around, perhaps not), is "Downtown" by dee...

Episode Notes Oooooh boy. Happy Halloween! I did things differently this year for the mega-discussion of scary movies, and it resulted in this behemoth. It's a great discussion with multiple people, including Abby, Johnny, and Jen! But hoo boy it will take a while to listen to. Enjoy! As always, there are some big spoilers in here for the movies discussed. Timestamps are here. Please please avoid...

Episode Notes Welcome to the annual discussion of the Oscar Best Picture nominees, and joining in the discussion, as usual, is Jen. There were ten nominees! So much to discuss! Two quick warnings heading into this one: 1) There are some mild spoilers throughout, so skip the entire discussion for that movie, based on the timestamps below, if you're sensitive about spoilers. There's only one particu...

Episode Notes Please join Johnny and me for the second half of our incredibly lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable, discussion about Groundhog Day. In this installment we finally get around to talking about our favorite and least favorite parts of the movie, the message of the movie, and also a truly unfortunate video game adaptation. As always the theme song is a modified version of "Reflections" by...

Episode Notes Join me as I try to continue my streak of holiday-themed movie discussions with what is arguably one of the best, most consistent holiday genres--Groundhog Day movies. I am joined by good friend and fellow time loop fan Johnny Rhoads and we . . . pretty much never stop talking about Groundhog Day and time loop media in general. Our conversation went so long that this very long podcas...

Episode Notes Please enjoy this very timely double-feature episode with Jen. We talk about our two picks for holiday movies: The Family Stone and Scrooged. One of us, I won't say who, is a Scrooge about Scrooged! Here are some timestamps if you just want to check out certain discussions: Intro: 0:00:00 to 0:01:41 The Family Stone: 0:01:41 to 0:40:36 Scrooged: 0:40:36 to 01:08:49 Outro: 01:08:49 to...

Episode Notes Please enjoy this looooong discussion with the excellent guest John Rhoads about the terrible movie Jingle All the Way. Seriously this episode is like five minutes shorter than the movie itself. I apologize for: 1) this coming out way after Christmas, and 2) kind of a lot of background noise. I hope you still enjoy it! Or just save this one and revisit it during Christmas 2022. As al...

Episode Notes Welcome to the (sort of) next installment of the FANCY Fantasy Football Podcast that is not at all about fantasy football. In the (sort of) start of a series of episodes about holiday movies, this episode is a long chat with returning guest Abby Saul, who selected The Holiday. My sincerest apologies to my previous guest Alex, with whom I had a lovely chat about Elf, but I failed to r...

Episode Notes After an extended absence, the FANCY Podcast is back to discuss a whole bunch of Halloween movies with dear friend Abby. As always the theme song is a modified version of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Library. Please enjoy! Here are the timestamps for avoiding spoilers about the various movies: 0:00:00 to 0:01:20  - Intro 0:01:20 to 0:02:46 - All the movies...

Episode Notes You're in for a real TREAT with this SPOOKILY good episode, featuring a SPIRITED discussion of HORRIFIC movies and TV shows with special GHOST Abby. I'm DREADFULLY SORRY for the PUNS. I am TRAPPED INSIDE MY CAPSLOCK KEY. Please send HELP. There are lots of spoilers, so here are the time stamps to avoid them: 0:00:00-0:03:33 - Intro (0:02:23 - False plan for the schedule of the rest o...

Episode Notes After a long hiatus, the FANCY podcast returns to introduce a new guest, my buddy Baylee. Baylee and I talk about moving, kids, COVID, games, and inventions. There are some pretty deep dives into computer and board games included here, which is not for everyone, so here are the time stamps for skipping around: 0:0:00 - 0:4:40 - Introductions 0:4:40 - 0:12:10 - Baylee moving to Clevel...

This episode is just a fun chat with Gary and Abby as we recap our visit to my parents in Virginia. Also Lily terrorizes the house a little bit at night. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Archive. Podcast Halftime Theme is "Breathe" by Axl & Am...

Nick returns to the figurative cohost chair, and we discuss the second week of the playoffs and look ahead to Championship Week. In addition, we discuss the Golden Globes at length, take a detour into a bodybuilding discussion, and make the BWAAAAAAMP noise from Inception a lot of times. My sincere apologies for forgetting to discuss the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical category...

In an extra special and extra long episode, I am joined by guest host John Rhoads. Of course we talk a little about Round 1 of the playoffs and look ahead to Round 2, as well as the Boose Bowl, but as one might expect, the halftime sort of takes over the show. During halftime, we talk about gratuitous Simpsons references, Pokemon Go, Advent Calendars, and some movie recommendations. No Snitch Corn...

Nick and I recap the conclusion of the regular season, and look ahead to the first round of the playoffs. But the highlight (lowlight?) of the show is again one of us (me) embarrassing ourselves by singing in screeching falsetto. Enjoy! Timestamps: 0:01:24 - Week 13 Recap 0:23:17 - Podcast Halftime 0:40:41 - FANCY Podcast Karaoke: Round 2 0:52:18 - Playoff Week 1 Preview The Podcast Halftime conce...

Nick and I briefly looked at Week 12, and looked ahead to Week 13. But the real star of the show is YOU, the listener. We got some fun listener questions for this episode, and as a result it is certainly a FANCY Podcast record for featuring the most voices. Way to go, team. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix...

Returning from our one-week hiatus, Nick and I extremely quickly look at Weeks 10 and 11, with an eye toward the standings and the playoff outlook. Then in Podcast Halftime we talked about Disney movies for a LONG TIME. Then we did a very quick Week 12 preview. Time stamps: 0:01:01 - Week 10 and Week 11 Recap/Standings Overview 0:19:28 - Podcast Halftime: Jumbo Edition 1:02:35 - Week 12 Preview Th...

We're moving on from Halloween and back to our regularly scheduled programing, looking back at Week 9, and looking ahead to Week 10, AKA Rivalry Week: Round 2. But I'm going to be honest with you, the real star of the show is Podcast Halftime, which starts at 0:15:40. It's a good one this week, I promise. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme s...

I solemnly swear to not make these incredibly long in the future, but there was just too much good Halloween content to keep it manageably sized. My apologies. Abby came on the show for a supersized discussion of Halloween movies, and Nick made a special appearance for the halftime. Mild spoilers are sprinkled throughout, but in case you want to avoid anything even remotely resembling a spoiler, h...

Apologies for another lengthy episode, but I think we had some fun, and hopefully you enjoy it. We looked back at Week 7, looked ahead to Week 8, and chatted about the worst reality TV shows we are guilty of watching. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Mu...

A look back at Week 6 and ahead to Week 7, as I continue to spiral out of control and the episodes creep longer and longer. Halftime includes a look at the recent Jokers, and the Stats Corner looks at whether the Curse of the Boose is real. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Cons...

More FANCY fun, looking back at week 5, looking ahead to week 6, and a multi-part, multi-theme-songed Podcast Halftime. Shockingly, there were no Nick Chubb jokes this episode, except the episode title. Also, please be on the lookout for a fantastic, prescient prediction at 42:27. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edi...

Another edging slightly longer and longer football conversation with Nick, recapping Week 4 and looking ahead to Week 5. Now with 25% less Nick falsetto! Seriously though, there is probably more Nick falsetto than you might expect. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium fr...

Another somewhat quick football conversation with Nick, recapping Week 3 and looking ahead to Week 4. But trust me, you're going to want to stick around to the end for this one. Timestamps: Week 3 Recap: 0:00-15:58 Podcast Halftime: 15:58-32:19 Week 4 Preview 32:19-42:27 THE FINEST PODCAST KARAOKE PERFORMANCE RECORDED OVER FACETIME OF ALL TIME (and outro): 42:27 to end The Podcast Halftime concept...
