The Whole Deal

Twice in one week? Oh yes we can! Things get a little spicy on the TWD double shot this week as Brian comes to terms with how misguided his fandom is as Pat revels in all that is victory. Or...something like that! We also delve into the rebirth of an industry that once defined our childhood sports obsession.

Better late than never. Following a week of unexpected family circumstances, TWD once again turns a negative into a positive and turns this week into a podcasting double shot! Two for the price of one as Brian and Pat give their post Super Bowl review and mere hours later give their outlook for the rest of early 2021 as they bask in the afterglow of the football post season. Wait...afterglow?...I...

When the world told us they don't have time to get in too deep, the Whole Deal gives it the quickie it needs. An all out blitz of sports right in your face with no regard for if you're ready, take out the Whole Deal and show it off.

Nothing wagered nothing gained in the life. The Whole Deal is still whole and raring to go as we inch closer to the big game in the weirdest sports year we've ever experienced. Lets get it!

Things arent always what they seem this week on The Whole Deal as Brian & Pat discuss the pending doom that is the NFL conference championships, the elation that comes from the baby fresh scent of the new NHL season and Pat updates Brian on the whereabouts of a bygone sports idol.

Brian and Pat embark on a whole different voyage, at times to the outer regions of space, as we broaden our horizons and prove yet again that all topics are on the TWD table. TWD also has a very important announcement to make this week that will impact the future of our program for the future and beyond.

As Pat and Brian put a bow on the heinous slapdick that is 2020, TWD also looks to a brighter future with the most magical of 2021 predictions. What does TWD see in it's grand crystal ball for the upcoming months? Listen and find out, because everything (including TWD itself perhaps?) looks for new life in 2021.

In amazingly Dickensian fashion, Pat and Brian decide to sit the Ghost of Christmas Past down for a fireside chat as the Whole Deal looks back on those sports icons whose time has come and gone. TWD wishes all of it's listeners the Happiest of Holiday Seasons and a wonderful New Year!

As the unwashed grundle that is 2020 comes to an end, Pat and Brian embark on a merry conversation with every intention of looking forward to the new year however we may have, in our quest for the future, stumbled into questioning everything we ever believed about professional sports!

No pandemic will ever stop Pat and Brian from delivering The Whole Deal, at least without at least handing COVID its ass first!

What if the upside down sports world of 2020 decided to go all in and get even crazier in 2021. Sometimes the most improbable of futures still become reality.

Did Brian and Pat just remove the veil off of "amateur" college sports while simultaneously solving American economic struggles in the same episode? Tune into Episode III of The Whole Deal and find out for yourself!

The Whole Deal takes a deep dive into the real possibility that the means might be more important than the ends as athletes (and everyone else) travel the rough roads towards life's goals.
