Episode 50 - Mookie Betts, Wrexham AFC, Patriots & Three Gripes 16.11.2020

Episode 46 - Unemployment, the Patriots and Three Gripes 02.11.2020

I talk about too much in the beginning of this episode so I do apologize in advance, but it's a complaint so it fits. I talk about being unemployed, get into the Patriots recent play and the dynasty as a whole before getting into this week's Three Gripes: Daylight Saving Time, there are too many people around here and a reminder to vote tomorrow.  All of that and nothing else of any actual su...

I also touch on Billy McFarland's new Fyre Fest related p...

Episode 43 - World Series, Jeopardy!, NFL and Instagram Nonsense! 22.10.2020

Episode 41 - Supreme Court Hearings, The Rona, Sports & Three Gripes 15.10.2020

Episode 40 - Eddie Van Halen, The NFL & Covid 08.10.2020

This week's pod is chock full of terrible sound quality! I talk about the passing of Eddie Van Halen, the band as a whole and the lasting impact that his music has had on my life. I also talk briefly about the NFL & its reaction to the Covid outbreaks. That's it for this week as I can't bear to have this lousy pod sound even worse than it usually does!
