Charles Star and L. Ron Mexico (kind of) are back! Charles talks with Arif Hasan (NFL Draft expert and podcaster (60 Minute Drill and Norse Code) and writer (Wide Left)) about the Saints' draft (which he loves). Arif is a little less enthusiastic but he thinks it's pretty good. Charles and Ron do get to talk a little to welcome Cam back to New Orleans. Subscribe to Arif's Wide Left newsletter and...

The Saints closed out the season with a 19-17 loss to the Falcons but Charles and Ron are thrilled. A loss got the team everything it wanted except another win over the Falcons.

Three game winning streak! Skooks stops by to talk about the last two home wins but mostly L. Ron and Charles get psyched for the future after a 29-6 win over the Jets. Merry Christmas, everyone.

It's the bye week so Charles and Ron relax and enjoy the win over the Panthers for another week.

We talk about his development as a punter, his career from winning his job to the hazards of making noise about politics and his current campaign to represent an Assembly...

Well would you look at that! A happy Ron and Charles enjoy the aftermath of a 17-7 win over the division "rival" Carolina Panthers. We don't have a guest this week but that doesn't stop us from getting the ass of our old friends from the For Panthers Only podcast. You can hear the Hannukah episode of It's Christmastown with Charles at https://daveandjebarentmean.libsyn.com/141-the-great-yiddish-ba...

The Saints were humiliated once again, this time 34-10 by the Rams, and Ron and Charles are starting to get tired of it. Nobody was here to get our asses because we have another ex-fan joining us. St. Louis's own Alex Turpin bailed on the team when they bailed on his city but Charles and Alex talked football, losing a team and some moderate reminiscing about Mic Dicta. Plus some news about the off...

Another rough loss, 23-3 to the Tampa Bay Bucs at home. Charles and L. Ron welcome a new Bucs fan to the podcast, comedian Paul Pallotta, who relished the opportunity to rub their noses in it A BIT MUCH. Sadly, no Man in the Dome.

Charles went out to Chicago to watch the Saints play their worst game of the year as they lost 26-14 to the Bears and fell to 1-6. At least he was there with friends. Two of his old buddies from Hostile Witness - Patrick Cosmos and Eric Michel - were able to join Charles at the game and in the "studio" with Ron as well to look back at the game and try to figure out where it all went wrong. Patrick...

Another depressing loss for the Saints, this time for the Patriots, but at least L. Ron and Charles get to welcome in the charming Josh Gondelman. Skooks is a breath of fresh air as the Man in the Dome, refusing to let losing get in the way of watching a young team develop in a fun way. Josh is everywhere, including his newsletter, That's Marvelous (https://www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/) and h...

The Saints finally get a W (26-14 over the Giants) and David Roth joins Charles to talk about, well, not the game exactly, but game-adjacent things. L. Ron wasn't able to join the main chat but he was available to talk to Charles and Skooks, our Man in the Dome. And even though he couldn't join the chat, Ron managed to Get Dave's Ass. Plus, Charles lets his bar buddy Alex vent a little. There's a...

A trip to Buffalo went better than expected but in the end it was still a 31-19 loss for our heros. Joining L. Ron and Charles on the pod is Buffalo native and lifelong Bills fan Victoria Zeller, author of the YA novel One of the Boys.

L. Ron and Charles welcome Spike Friedman to the pod after the Seahawks' dominant 44-13 win over the Saints. Nobody had fun, except for Spike, who is enjoying a golden year of Seattle sports.

The Saints lose another one they had in their hands and Truthdig's Jeb Lund joins us to Get Our Ass. Skooks is back as our Man in the Dome as the Saints fall to 0-2 and Who Dat Nation loses control of the Dome to 49ers fans who don't like waiting to pee.

L. Ron and Charles are joined by Charles McDonald of the Football 301 podcast and Yahoo!

A sad season comes to an inglorious end. Charles and Ron sigh their way through a hopeless future and talk about as much about the game as it deserves. Finally, the season is over. The darkness envelops us. Thanks to Snxwyfish for the sound engineering. Listen to his music at https://linktr.ee/Snxwyfish Socials: Charles Star - https://ugarles.bsky.social L. Ron Mexico - https://lronmexico.bsky.soc...

Nobody is happy. Ron's work schedule is still interfering with his more important podcast schedule, Charles thinks we have three more years of this shit, Skooks is dealing with literal sewage and the terrorist in the French Quarter and our guest, Ed Zitron, is mad that the Raiders won because it borks their draft position. All that anger is good for the episode, though. You can find the Ed Zitron...

Charles and Ron are as checked out as the Saints tackling, as the team falls to 5-10 after a 34-0 loss to Green Bay. No guest this week due to scheduling issues but the guys had enough to talk about. Abandon hope... Thanks to Snxwyfish for the sound engineering; he was not involved. Listen to his music at linktr.ee/Snxwyfish Socials: Charles Star - ugarles.bsky.social L. Ron Mexico - lronmexico.bs...

As Ron suffers through the indignity of the graveyard shift and Charles struggles with a cold, the episode finally arrives in frankensteined pieces. Charles and Ron talk about the wild 20-19 Saints loss while Ron navigates the highways of the bayou and look towards the rapidly approaching Monday night game against the Packers. Dragonfly Jonez (Tyler) joins Charles to get his ass and Charles welcom...
