Week 10!  Fernando's away this week, or he's about to fly into town at any moment, so again we have Christopher Walters joining Double Doinks and Sackles. On this week's episode, we talk Week 9!  Are the Packers done?  Are the Rams done?  We talk about the fascinating story of the new interim coach of the Indianapolis Colts and Jeff Saturday, an NFL commentator that has zero he...

Double Doinks and Sackles, trade deadline episode.  Chris Walters couldn't stay away and is back with us this week.   Probably the most craziest and active NFL trade deadline that we've experience in quite a while.  We talk about those crazy trades (Calvin Ridley to the Jags,  Bradley Chubb and Jeff Wilson to the Dolphins, TJ Hockenson to the Vikings, Roquan Smith to the Ravens...

We're back!  Less hungover from our trip to New Orleans and ready to teach you how to football.  And we get a special guest of Chris Walters of the Walters garage.  We're just trying to continue our party vibe of last week. On this week's show, we recap what happened in Week 7 of the NFL 2022 season and then talk about some of the big trades that happened in the past week (for examp...

LIVE (on tape) from New Orleans, it's Double Doinks and Sackles, teaching you how to football. This is a fun episode.  Don't know how hilarious it might be to you, but it was to us.  This episode is being released on October 19, 2022, the date of Fernando "the Gritty" Jackson's 40th freaking birthday and we're here in New Orleans celebrating his drunk stumbling ass through the streets of...

This week Jimmy G the Statboy co-hosts for Fernando.  But don't you worry, Travis is still here.  Fernando will be back next week, on location in New Orleans! This week however, we talk about everything that happened in Week 5.  We talk about the new NFL concussion protocol, the roughing the passer penalties that have been getting out of hand, smug kickers who let the ball kick itse...

OMG OMG OMG!  A real Double Doink happened!!!  Call TMZ!  Call Sportscenter!  Call the physicists at Cal Tech!!! Whew, well after we get over talking about Double Doinks, we'll teach you about Week 4 of the NFL and what happened, other interesting NFL news this week (Tua's injury, the Eagles are still undefeated, the Chiefs don't miss Tyreek Hill, among other stories).  We...

This week in Double Doinks and Sackles, we talk about Week 3 of NFL football.  Fernando saw a game in Minneapolis and has first hand information about the Vikings/Lions game.  We also recap the rest of the Week 3 games, talk about how the group of death (aka the AFC West) is actually really lame this week.  And we talk about the Brett Favre welfare stealing scandal and how it hasn't...

When we're not mansplaining football, we mansplain a great place for sandwiches.  You'll have to go to Minnesota though.... 

Just when we think Week 1 of the 2022 NFL Season was crazy, Week 2 comes in and slaps you in the face a few times before you even know what happened.  Am I right Kyler Murray?  This week Fernando and Travis talk about the crazy things that happened in Week 2 (Joe Flacco and the Jets are good?  Carson Wentz is 2nd highest what?  Geno Smith has what completion percentage?) We the...

Wow!  How about that Week 1 of the NFL 2022 season?  What better way to digest what you just saw by listening to Fernando and Travis on Double Doinks and Sackles, mansplaining football so you don't have to.  We'll scientifically break down what happened.  Who underperformed.  Who overperformed.  We discuss our Week 1 picks, preview Thursday Night Football between the...

And we're back!  Just in time for Week 1 of this very long wait for the NFL 2022 Season. . Time to catch up on some news (Deshaun Watson new suspension, Matt Araiza situation), and then talk about some more notes around the league (Jimmy G, JK Dobbins, Jalen Reagor, Sony Michel).   . We go seafood for our local fake commercial.   . Finally we make our Week 1 picks and pick our Super...

And we're back!  On this week's episode of hijinks and hilarity (I mean Double Doinks and Sackles), we mansplain again about the DeShaun Watson suspension verdict, the Miami Dolphins tampering charges, those huge wide receiver contract extensions, training camps, and best/worst case scenarios for each NFL division.  We have a commercial for a pizza place that Travis definitely maybe has...

For the 2nd episode of the Matcha Monologues series, take a look back at what I discovered at this year's San Diego Comic Con for 2022.  There were a lot of good panels that you might not have heard about and the offsites were particularly fabulous. We talk about how I learned about handling the Hall H line back when I was learning about the ins and outs of the Con and how it's really not for...

In this episode, I'd like you to meet my former colleague and friend Marisa Gonzalez. From discovering that she wanted to get into the medical field and nursing school, to what she had to do to prepare her application for nursing school, it's been a long road.    But that's not all!  As she began school in the year of 2020, there was a thing called COVID which greatly skewed how she...

This week on Double Doinks and Sackles (DDnS), we talk more about everyone's favorite football player with the most guaranteed money football contract, maybe another reference to Trevor Bauer, and some actual Jimmy G talk about where he might end up.  Then we talk about more fantasy football sleepers and fantasy football busts, because life sometimes doesn't work out the way you draft it. And...

Episode 4!  We dive back into the wet crevasse of NFL news known as Deshaun Watson.  Somehow bring Trevor Bauer back into the conversation again.  And we talk fantasy football draft PPR strategies for sackling your league of misfit football fans.  Also when is it too early to draft a quarterback?  Do you need to draft kickers and team defenses as soon as possible?  An...

Episode 3 of DDnS! We start with some listener questions to address some things about the podcast that need... well.... mansplaining. Then we switch to some discussion of some hot takes from an array of articles we just read and our predictions for the worst teams of each division for 2022. And then we feature a fake ad for a historic place that's "local". Got any questions for us? Message Jimmy G...

Baby books are interesting.  They claim to tell you what to expect when you're expecting, but they can't anticipate every thing that might happen.  I don't know of anyone who has encountered a problem with their child and immediately runs to that baby book, goes to that massive index, and finds what problem they have and reads it and immediately applies it right there in real life. &nbsp...

Episode 2!  Now we're cooking with gas.   We have to pat ourselves on the back.  We've only made one episode of this and Travis is presenting the most hottest of takes and it ends up being super accurate.  Don't worry he'll tell you about it.  No need to listen to your regular NFL insider podcast shows.  Tune into Double Doinks and Sackles for all that. This week we f...

And now for something a little sporty. My friends and I have been throwing around an idea of doing a sports podcast and why not?  They make witty comments on Sundays and maybe it's funny through the haze of a very delicious hard seltzer but we might as well try it out.   So introducing... a Sports Podcast from the Social Dragonfly podcast network. This is Double Doinks and Sackles, mansp...

Happy Mother's Day!  Yes, Stephanie is my mom and I visited her this Mother's Day 2022 and recorded a special interview with her.  If you remember one of my older podcasts from 2021, I talked about her life turning 70.  Now I'll let her speak and hear a little about her life before and after retirement, her grandkids, and the future.  Hope you enjoy it.

This episode is an experiment to capture my life as it happens from March 1 to 7, 2022.  I monologue briefly while going to work.  Talk briefly about my day at work.  Talk briefly about Ukraine. Go to bar trivia to test my random useless knowledge of random facts, and try to teach people about moral dilemmas so people don't turn on them.  I go to a lacrosse match, game, or outi...

Car buying is quite a chore now.  Global supply chain issues, shortages of inventory, and just the crazy state of the world has made buying a car even more stressful than it already is.  Now imagine if you got into a car accident because the other driver was careless and now you have to get a new car.  What now? Well this happened to my friend Dalia. Today's episode is a good discus...

Today's episode is with the one and only Joey Brommer.  He's someone I have met and became friends with for only a short time.  I think it was about 2 years ago.  Joey is a funny, witty, loud, maybe slightly obnoxious, and wonderful friend to many people.  He is also a wonderful and caring father to his daughter who he is moving to be closer to in Tennessee.  And yes, that...

Have you ever thought about how you first met your friends?  You judge it by places you've been to, calculate the year, remember the people who were there, and then realize you had it all mixed up and have to start over or ask other people if they remember the outing.  Time is a flat circle and what's important is living in the now and being in the moment. Spencer is a person I met in on...
