The quarterfinals delivered chaos, confusion, and more than a few "wait...what?" moments - so I brought The Solid Verbal College Football Podcast on the show to help me make sense of it all.   We break down what went wrong for Ohio State, Georgia, and Texas Tech, why Indiana still looks like the team to beat (and by how much), and whether Ole Miss winning it all would be the best and funniest poss...

Hoops, hot takes, and holiday energy.   I’m joined by Aaron and Evan from the No Gimmes Podcast for a fun, debate-heavy episode as we go way too early on our 2026 NBA All-Star selections.
