32 Fans: Recent Episodes
Akiva Wienerkur and Alexander Chester
32 Fans began as a daily NFL preseason podcast, morphed into a weekly NFL podcast, and now features Akiva Wienerkur (@keev26) and Alexander Chester (@achester99) arguing about sports, pop culture, politics, and any other hot takes they fancy.
Alex regrets ranking the Packers where he did a month ago, as he’s come to the conclusion that Aaron Rodgers is done and the Packers are trash.
Keev and Alex discuss the Houston Texans, which animals would be the best at basketball, and whatever else they can squeeze in before the bomb.
Alex talks about why God will not permit the Saints to win the Super Bowl this year, while Keev tries to play some games.
Jake Freud joins Keev to discuss the scintillating QB controversy between Mitch Trubisky and Nick Foles in Chicago.
Jared Jerome and Harold Rosengarten join for a four-man Jets preview. (Join Patreon at patreon.com/32Fans to get an extended version that goes way past the bomb!)
Keev and Alex preview the Bucs and Alex compares Brady to every Hall of Famer who ever starred for a new team late in his career.
Every year 32 Fans welcomes Keev’s former roommate Josh Grashin on to talk Seahawks and this year is no different. Every year Keev and Alex get into a fight about technology and this year is no different.
Yoni Wiesel is our most negative (some would say “most accurate” or “least homerific”) guest every year. Can we expect more of the same from him and the Giants in 2020, or can Joe Judge and Daniel Jones lead them back to the playoffs?
Cole Hogan makes his triumphant return to 32 Fans as the spokesman for the defending world champions.
Michael Higgins joins Alex and Keev to talk about the 2020 Jaguars. Can they … steal the show?
Josh Lehmer stans the Los Angeles Rams and Ben & Jerry’s Triple Caramel Crunch AND WE’RE ALL OUT OF ICE CREAM so he’s here to discuss football and perhaps a murder most foul?
Mike Clark is back again to complain about how the Patriots (and Yankees) are only great teams and not the indisputably best teams in their leagues. What a relatable situation.
Jordan Parhar returns from social media/podcast hibernation to preview the 2020 Cowboys with Akiva.
Keev and Alex discuss the Carolina Panthers and what it means when the #1 overall pick in fantasy football has a bye in week 13.
Every year we welcome Eagles homer Shamir Seidman to tell us why he thinks the Eagles will go 14-2. Is this the year he thinks the Eagles don’t have it?
Keev and Alex discuss the L.A. Chargers and survey listeners to gauge interest for the 32 Fans Fantasy Football Survivor League.
Alex and Keev spend 32 minutes on the Arizona Cardinals and definitely no other random subjects.
Keev and Alex are more interested in talking about the Heat than the Dolphins, so they spend most of today’s pod making NBA playoff picks.
Keev & Alex spin a wheel to determine their next preview, and it lands on Jake Lewin’s Indianapolis Colts. Now if only Jake was available at midnight on a random weeknight to record a podcast with no advanced notice…
The first (scheduled) NFL Sunday is 32 days away, so Keev and Alex are back with their annual NFL preview in which we preview a different team every day over the next 32 days. Today we start with a team so disorganized it doesn’t even have a name, so excuse us if we spend 29 […]
Keev and Alex are without internet. Alex and Av are without power. Keev and Alex do a weekly podcast about nonsense. Alex and Av do a weekly podcast recapping Curb. Keev and Rob do a podcast recapping Season 3 Episode 7s. Keev is very sleepy this week, too sleepy to record a regular podcast. So […]

Alex has seen a dozen full seasons of Survivor since this podcast was recorded a month ago, but Shannon Guss is so beloved that she shouldn’t be limited to the Patron feed.

Keev and sleepy Alex try to talk about two theoretically exciting teams, but instead spend a lot of time diving deep into a Cowboys practice squad offensive lineman. Note that these two teams were ranked #15 and #14 when we recorded this episode, but were moved up one spot each when the Colts dropped from […]

Mr. Met heard his name was on the streets last week, and so he’s here this week to rectify our errors. Or at least AJ Mass is, the man who once wore the giant baseball head. The mascot expert (buy his book here) dishes on what it’s really like to be a mascot, before being […]
Three episodes in one week?? Apparently yes, as it’s a special bonus episode of the 32 Fans MoviePod.

Keev doesn’t want to talk about NBA free agency, Alex doesn’t want to talk about the Women’s World Cup Quarterfinals or 90 Day Fiance, so instead the guys create a bracket to determine the greatest Minnesotan of all time.

This week Alex & Keev conduct a bracket to determine the best country in Europe. Since we’re shamefully ignorant Americans, we invite European expert Pia Virolainen to help. Spoiler alert: We get so deep into the weeds of the smallest countries of Europe that after an hour we’ve only made it to the Thrifty 32. So come back […]
After Alex no-showed the 2018 draft, he’s back with Keev to welcome Jordan Kalish for the annual 32 Fans mock NFL draft, where our guests don’t predict who their teams will take, but instead pick who they wish their team would take. Thank you to all our drafters, and don’t worry if you made a bad pick. No […]
We interrupt your regularly scheduled 32 Fans pod to bring you the debut episode of Will & Sammy’s MoviePod. Will Seamon and Sammy Chester are both 32 Fans listeners and movie fanatics.

We said that with the end of March so ended bracket season at 32 Fans, but we lied. If the NCAA’s March Madness can continue until April, so can 32 Fan’s March Madness. There’s nothing TV loves as much as a spinoff, so this week Keev and Alex spinoff from the TV theme song bracket to […]
Keev and Alex talk about lying to their kids and Jewish weddings, play a Game of Thrones screen time game, and rank the preferred destinations for Zion Williamson.

There are so many characters in Game of Thrones and even more characters running for president in 2020, so Alex, who two years ago compared every NFL team to a GOT character, compares every 2020 POTUS aspirant to a GOT character.

There are only three football games remaining this season. Should we cherish them and analyze each with deep intensity? Or should we spend the podcast arguing about Adam Gase, chocolate cereals, book recommendations, and the NHL All Stars? Also, a warning: If you found Bradley Cooper’s voice annoying in A Star is Born, be prepared […]

With the cereal tournament over, Keev and Alex turn to week 6 of the NFL season. This week’s outro is Cousins by Vampire Weekend.

Has Shamir Seidman stopped crowing since the Eagles won the Super Bowl and their fans destroyed Center City Philadelphia? He has not.

Jawhawk Cole Hogan returns to 32 Fans to preview the Kansas City Chiefs and also preview KU’s incoming basketball team. Today’s outro is Ricochet by CES Cru.
Raanan Lefkovitz is back to commiserate about the Browns … or is he actually really hyped for this season? Could there really be joy in Cleveland post-LeBron? Does Raanan count the Browns’ 1964 NFL Championship as a Super Bowl victory (Negative III)? Today’s outro is Wristwatch Wishes by The Whiskey Hollow.
No Jameis for the first three weeks of the season for the Bucs, and no Alex for this podcast, so Keev is one-on-one with Kyle Appleyard from Word of the Bay podcast. While we know Keev supports Jameis off the field, the real question is does Kyle support Jameis on it? Today’s outro is Hush by […]
For the second year in a row, Alex is in Florida working when Adam Brooks calls in to discuss the Oakland Raiders. This year he must be working harder though, because Akiva is solo with his former classmate. Today’s outro is Saint Stephen by Dylan In The Movies.
For the fourth year in a row, we’re forced to welcome Mike Clark to hear about how great the Patriots are. Mike, when not rooting for the despicable Patriots and Yankees, is the host of Pilot SZN.

Keev couldn’t be bothered to show up for Alex’s Vikings podcast, but does Alex show up for the Jets episode? Does soccer/Jets expert Harold show up, or is movie/Jets expert Av the only guest today?

As so it ever should be, the Packers come after the Vikings. Zach Richler is better than most Packers fans, because he’s not actually from Wisconsin. Will Alex convince this friendly Canadian to stop rooting for a bunch of inbred cheesef*ckers? Will Alex even appear on the podcast two days in a row? Today’s outro […]
Alex previews his favorite team with his favorite YouTube star, Funky Dunkleman (aka Ryan Skorich). There’s nothing better than talking Minnesota sports for 45 minutes without Keev and his trollish interruptions! If you haven’t read it yet, check out the Jalen Ramsey interview in GQ where he discusses every NFL QB by name. Today’s outro is a […]
Can any of the Texans stars stay healthy long enough for this team to meet expectations? Can Keev and Alex ever show up for an entire podcast together? Is Matthew Weston unreasonably optimistic about one or both of those prospects? You have to listen to find out, because the author of this recap hasn’t yet listened to […]
No Keev? No problem! Alex and Paul Elliott the Saints (and Seinfeld) fan reminisce on the Minneapolis Miracle and how the Saints can move forward in 2018. Today’s outro is Right Place Wrong Time by Dr. John.

Jordan Parhar makes his annual appearance to discuss (he’s past defending) Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. Today’s outro is Coming Home by Leon Bridges (who unlike Jordan, is actually from the DFW).
Last week we spoke to Ari Gleicher, who lives in Seattle, to talk about the Bears, who Alex hates (he ranks them 8 spots lower than Keev does), yet Alex only provided pro-Bears stats. So today we speak to Josh Grashin, who lives near Chicago (¯\_(ツ)_/¯), to talk about the Seahawks, who Alex loves (he ranks […]
We interrupt your regularly scheduled team previews to bring you a reading of a 17 year old fantasy football column by Bill Simmons. This episode’s outro was the #1 song in America the week this column came out.
Steve Apter is back to talk about the Washington professional football team. Today’s outro is Bottled in Cork by the DC band Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.
After two consecutive weeks in which our podcasts were dedicated to trashing Mitchell Trubisky, is it possible we’re wrong? We’ll find out from annual Bears guest Ari Gleicher. Or maybe we just spend the whole time talking about Charles Nagy, Jay Leno, Anthony Miller, and other 1990s celebrities. Today’s outro is Swing Life Away by the […]
We are 32 days from the NFL regular season, which means it’s time for 32 fans in 32 days! We start the 2018 edition by welcoming back Zach Sosna to tell us how the 21st-ranked Bengals are going to disappoint him this year. Today’s outro is Anna Sun by Cincinnati’s own Walk the Moon.
No Cian (who was fired from ESPN, according to his own words, for “being ignorant”), so this week Keev and Alex debut their own preseason NFL QB rankings. Keev also rants about judging scandals in his local children’s gymnastics competition and the Ringer’s TV episode rankings. Watch the Wienerkur performance here. See Alex and Keev’s QB […]
Alex starts today’s podcast on a pretty serious topic (1-800-273-TALK). Later Keev makes fun of three bad tweets and the guys discuss the WNBA All Stars before reminiscing about their greatest (worst?) ever personal sports moments. Today’s outro is Fire and Rain by James Taylor.
Kawhi Leonard is off to Canada, so an emergency podcast is called for. We also FJM a terrible soccer take and Alex begs everyone to watch Game of Zones. This week’s outro is Must’ve Been by Chromeo. If you know anyone taking French at Columbia/Barnard, tell them to take it with Prof. Macklovitch.
With NFL training camps two weeks away, it’s time to go backwards. This week we review the 1960 season and the debut of the AFL. Here is the Cardinals logo: And here is the 49ers logo: This week’s intro is On Our Way by the Royal Concept. The outro is Bobby Fuller Died For Your Sins […]
Recorded immediately after England’s PK survival against Colombia, Keev and Alex discuss the end of the NBA and the continuation of the World Cup. Afraid of Summer by Lost Lander.
Are we nice? Did Alex discover the ultimate proof that a hot dog is not a sandwich? How much does Keev hate Kawhi? What is the Elefantordenen? And what happens to our guest Simon Stern, English football expert, who drops off suddenly after previewing just one of the eight matches in the round of 16 of the World […]
The final piece to our spring trilogy on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this week we welcome Nina Stoddard and Kirsten MacInnis to rank the 10 worst human beings in music history. Also Keev and Alex talk about some current events, both in their personal lives and the world at large. (But mostly sports, […]
You really have to hate America and love Putin (and corruption) to be as excited for the 2018 FIFA World Cup as Akiva is (or this guy). We welcome soccer expert and fine fellow Harold Rosengarten to make predictions, while Alex tells us who to root for. Who is Alex rooting for in this World Cup? Gee, I […]
It’s official, LeBron is better than Jordan. (Alex even made a playoffs-only chart that comes to that same conclusion.) Keev also asks Alex about the Twins, but really just as an excuse for him to talk about the Mets. Then we get to a continuation of last week’s episode, when we ranked all 214 musical […]
A couple of weeks ago music critic Bill Wyman wrote a piece for Vulture ranking all 214 artists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This deeply embarrassed Alex, who couldn’t believe there was a ranking he hadn’t yet made, so he and Keev quickly made good and created their own rankings. Then, they argued about them so […]
For Episode 200, it’s a very special Ask Us Anything, as listeners email, tweet and Facebook in questions, and Keev and Alex (and maybe guests?) give their answers, and otherwise tell long meandering stories. This week’s outro is Mad World by Gary Jules, in memory of listener Dominic Malpiedi. RIP.
This week Alex and Keev discuss the second round of the NBA playoffs, Kawhi Leonard (because of course), the Twins and Mets, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, in which sport we’re least likely to see an expansion team win it all, and the death of NASCAR. Then, under Alex’s protest, Keev plays a trivia game with […]

We’re back with the annual 32 Fans a 17-Fans-and-4-Reddits mock draft of the first 23 picks of the 2018 NFL draft. Keev ran this one himself without Alex’s organizational abilities, which is why they didn’t quite make it through the entire round. Jordan Kalish returns again to provide expert analysis. Click here to see all the picks. Also, a surprise […]
This week we welcome an 80-year-old Jewish man from Long Island (albeit one with a good Twitter feed) to preview the NBA playoffs. The problem with 80-year-old Jewish men is their technological capabilities are limited, so Mr. Jerome keeps dropping off (and somehow infects Alex with his poor audio). But when he’s around, a spirited […]
This week Akiva and Alex draft players who started their careers looking like stars only to collapse after just a few elite seasons. Or something. They’ll argue about exactly what they’re doing. There’s also a guest appearance by a young comedian, Ella Wienerkur. And a preview to next week’s NBA playoffs preview podcast. This week’s […]
Rob Cesternino makes his third guest appearance on 32 Fans, ostensibly to discuss the 2018 season of the New York Mets, but a number of other topics dominate the conversation. This week’s outro is Above My Ground by Landlady.
Keev and Alex are pumped for the 2018 MLB season, but their Mets preview will have to wait another week. Instead, they welcome Charlie Gillmer of therunnersports.com to preview the Twins and pick over/unders for the other 29 baseball teams. This week’s outro is Call Off Your Ghost by Dessa.
Tablet Magazine recently put together a fantastic list of the 100 Most Jewish Foods, so Keev and Alex welcome Tablet’s Deputy Editor and co-host of the Unorthodox Podcast Stephanie Butnick (sbutnick on Insta; stuffism on Twitter). Keev and Alex’s complete rankings of Tablet’s 100 Most Jewish Foods are here. Attention Gentiles: If you make it all the way through […]
NFL free agency, March Madness (30:30) and Biathlon (1:12:45). A big fight ensues about the best scoring system for a March Madness pool. This episode’s outro is Fallen Giants by Kithkin.
The podcast is an audio medium, so what better thing to rank than 195 flags that you need to look at to judge. Nevertheless, that’s what Keev and Alex are doing today, ranking the national flags of every UN member nation. (If you want to follow along, all the flags can be seen here.) To […]
Alex forgets to plug in his mic (so sorry for his audio), but Av is back to discuss the best movies of 2017. (Av’s full list is here.) Watch out for a Wonder Woman spoiler from 4:20 to 4:50 and Get Out spoilers from 50:30 to 52:45 and 54:45 to 55:00. Also, after an hour of movies, Av requests quick chats […]
Noted cinephile Av Sinensky is back with his ranking of every movie he saw in 2017. If you wanna skip straight to Av’s list, click here.

Dad stuff. Next week we discuss the best movies of 2017. This week’s outro is Rust or Gold by Jill Andrews.
Just in case anyone decided to try out this podcast after reading Akiva’s Deadspin Olympics opuses (opi?), we’ve decided to chase them off with arguably the worst (certainly the least organized) episode in 32 Fans history. (Also, just to complete the poor quality of this episode, Alex had his mic but chose the wrong audio […]
Congrats to the Eagles on winning the Super Bowl and taking themselves off of Alex’s cursed franchise rankings! Alex has a terrible take about why winning titles doesn’t even matter, and then Keev and Alex update their ranking of the last 20 Super Bowls to include Pats/Falcons and Eagles/Pats. Then, some speculation about where the podcast goes […]
With no major sporting events happening this weekend, Keev and Alex give their football Hall of Fame ballots before skipping ahead to the upcoming Olympic Games with special guest AJ Edelman, Israeli Olympian skeletor (not what they’re actually called, we learn). It turns out AJ is a Patriots fan, so the guys also do eventually get […]
There’s nothing to discuss this week other than the 2018 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballots, so that’s the only thing we discuss. This week’s outro is Real Death by Mount Eerie.
Alex is still on a high from the Minneapolis Miracle, Akiva teases a juicy story about his kids that he can’t share, and instead talks Aziz Ansari and 1994 NFL jersey numbers. Outro is Julien Baker’s Turn Out The Lights.

This week Akiva recaps his daughter’s bat mitzvah, Alex is pumped for the Wild Card round of the playoffs, and Keev reads a classic email from Chester’s old lawyers’ softball league.

Keev proposes that he and Alex run for co-presidents of ESPN, continue discussing Chanukah gift-giving, Alex insists on actually discussing football, and Keev announces his (and the listeners’) top 5 podcasts of 2017 (40:50). This week’s outro is Pashut by Zusha. Happy End-of-Chanukah and (if we don’t pump out another podcast this week) Merry Christmas! […]
Last week Keev asked Chester questions, this week we reverse course and test Keev’s knowledge of Jets’ QBs, interleague power, and local basketball scorers. But first the guys have to get in a bunch of silly fights about Chanukah gifts and other inanities. Also, at the very end we talk about NFL week 15. This […]
Akiva has Alex guess lists of things, Alex and Akiva discuss what to do with alleged sexual predators, and other fun talk not actually related to week 14 of the NFL! This week’s outro is Nu Africa by CyHi The Prynce featuring Ernestine Johnson.
This episode isn’t our best effort. We’re rocked by the Eli benching and Alex is still recovering from two charity lunches. This week’s outro song is Young & Alive by Beach Slang.
This week we celebrate Thanksgiving by focusing on bad QBs and bad marriages. This week’s outro is Leave by Post Malone.
Alex has gone through the remaining 110 regular season games of the 2017 NFL season and ranked them in terms of excitement and then crunched the numbers and ranked all 32 teams in terms of how exciting the rest of their regular season will be. Giants fans can focus on the holiday season, but which […]
Keev is nursing a hangover from his live Seinfeld podcast, while Alex is nursing one from the greatest day of his life.

The Vikings are losing and the Jets are winning, so neither Alex nor Keev is happy. Instead of a football draft, Alex and Keev draft active TV shows. Vote in the Facebook group for who has a better squad of TV shows. The guys also preview the week 5 games and guess the spreads. This week’s […]
Trump told NFL owners to fire people this week, so Keev and Alex bet on which NFL head coaches will be fired. They also recap the craziness that was the final few minutes of the early games on Sunday, and guess the spreads live on air for the week 4 matchups. This week’s outro is […]
Alex and Keev make not one but two bets this week, discuss Alex’s Rosh Hashana plans, rant about Che Guevara, predict NFL week 3, and finish with filicide. This week’s outro is Matisyahu’s Back to the Old.
Instead of recapping the disappointing week 1 of the 2017 NFL season, Akiva decides that he and Alex are drafting a 1994 fantasy team. Eventually they do get around to making picks in the week 2 games. Maybe they’ll be more excited for football next week if the Vikings win tonight. If they lose, however… […]
Michael Friday might’ve been the MVP of this summer’s guests, but Av Sinensky was also receiving votes, so Av comes back to help Alex determine which NFL team corresponds to which Game of Thrones character, while Keev and Alex also give their week 1 picks. Then, Alex and Keev announce their predictions for Super Bowl […]

Later Jordan Acker is back on the podcast to discuss […]

Two playoff contenders in the NFC are tied in our power rankings, so we start today with Kyle Appleyard from the Word Of The Bay podcast to discuss the Bucs.

Today we wrap up our first division, as we discuss the Miami Dolphins. Last time Mike Woodburn was on 32 Fans, he had to preview a terrible playoff game in which his Dolphins would be trotting Matt Moore under center. Somehow things are even worse for the Dolphins now, as they turn to the indifferent Jay […]
Immediately after watching the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones this season, Alex and akiva and longtime Chiefs guest Cole Hogan are supposed to be talking about the Kansas City Chiefs.

The fans (well, a small minority of them) have demanded this, so this week Alex and Akiva discuss the 100 greatest MLB players ever, joined by a listener whose email is so good he earns immediate guest status. At some point Akiva’s daughter begins competing in the city gymnastics championship, and Akiva makes sure to […]
Alex and Akiva taped nearly two hours of raucous acrimonious baseball arguments, only for it to disappear into the ether.

This week’s […]
Keev was so pumped by the Dwayne Johnson/Katy Perry season finale of Saturday Night Live that he asked Alex and special guest Mike Bloom to review all 829 episodes of SNL and come up with their lists of the best and worst host/musical guest combos in series history. That and many many other topics are discussed. […]
Keev battles Alex (and the listeners) in the first annual 32 Fans #HotTakeOff. They are judged by special guest Rob Cesternino, who assigns each take between 1 and 7 spicy peppers. Will Rob and Keev complain about the Mets? Will Dr. Jen make an appearance to yell at her husband? Who will win the battle […]
Last year it took Keev and Alex not one, not two, not three, but four episodes to determine who is the Greatest Living American.

This episode is so bad you shouldn’t even listen to it. Akiva insisted on waiting until the NFL released the 2017 schedule, so that we could predict the Vikings and Jets records 5 months before the season even begins. But then he fell asleep. So Alex had to wake up at 5 AM to record, […]
Keev and Alex hop on the phone to discuss Passover, fistfights and dad strength, the NBA playoffs (18:00), and to announce the greatest American athlete of all time (32:30).

The discussion meanders from the Super Bowl, covering all-time quarterback rankings, 2016 movies, the worst living American, where the Falcons now rank among the […]
We’re a football podcast and the biggest football game of the year is four days away. We’ve published two podcast episodes this week and neither has been about the Super Bowl, so we should probably talk about the Super Bowl, right? Fine. But first (much to Keev’s chagrin), Alex discusses some other TV shows nobody watches […]
Six years after Funny or Die made a spoof trailer about a dark Archie Comics movie called “Riverdale”, the CW network went ahead and did exactly that.

Akiva is apoplectic about the Jets turning to Geno Smith at QB (so apoplectic he forgets to plug in his mic, so apologies for the echo in his audio). Alex is out of the loop due to international travel and the Jewish holidays, and only knows that the Vikings are still undefeated. The guys preview […]
Live from Alex’s brother’s wedding, it’s the 32 Fans podcast!

If you come to 32 Fans to hear Alex and Akiva fight, this is the episode for you. Akiva drops more #hottakes than a Trump supporter, and Alex gets madder than he ever has in podcast history.

Alex is excited to announce his rankings of the top 100 NBA players of all time. He also compares himself to Manu Ginobili.

Alex wants to start this week’s episode by discussing Hodor and the NBA playoffs, but Akiva wants to jump right into the top 100 movies of the past 25 years, so Alex surreptitiously hits record, starting the podcast a few minutes before Akiva is ready. Once they get going the guys run into frequent diversions, […]
In this week’s episode Alex and Akiva catch up on some 32 Fans miscellany, and then at the 11:30 mark they make this week’s bet, which is on Bovada’s debut of the 2016 NFL over/unders.

In Part I (iTunes) we covered the 51st to 100th greatest TV shows of all time. In Part II (iTunes) we covered the 50th to 11th best TV shows of all time (except for Akiva, who only went up to #12). So here on Part III Akiva introduces his top 11 television shows of all time before Alex […]

Alex forgot his mic, but even poor audio quality can’t temper Akiva’s excitement as he debuts the bottom half of his greatest TV shows list. Although the episode was supposed to include all 100 shows, after 2 hours we’re just halfway through, so we’ve decided to split this exciting list across two podcast episodes.
This week Alex gives his regular season NBA awards and then the guys make a bet about NBA playoff predictions. Akiva also tries translating a tweet from Millennial to English, and he orders Alex to leave the jokes to him.
Akiva starts off this week’s episode by trying to commit Alex to attending the RHAP afterparty in New York next week. Then Alex whips out his notebook where he jotted down thoughts while watching basketball and sipping chardonnay Wednesday evening, and the episode quickly dives further into Alex’s demented mind. Topics covered this week include: […]
Akiva and Alex preview the 2016 MLB season, guessing the over/unders for all 30 teams and welcoming guests for their (temporary) World Series picks.

Who is the greatest living American? This is the question Akiva & Alex try to tackle in this week’s episode, in which they introduce an NCAA-style bracket featuring 68 contenders for this prestigious honor.

Akiva lists his top ten movies of 2015, Alex argues that TV is better than movies, and the guys get into a big argument about whether Akiva should have thought that Alex saw the premier of 99 Homes (skip to 30:00 to jump right to the fight). Alex also accuses Akiva of recycling podcast jokes […]

Akiva and Alex preview the Super Bowl and make 42 prop bets. Akiva is dismayed by Alex’s anti-jersey position.

Later […]
Today’s podcast begins with a brief celebration by Alex of his beloved Peyton Manning beating Tom Brady for the third time in four AFC championships, but that is quickly followed by an intense conversation about the WWE’s Royal Rumble, which is the first professional wrestling Alex has watched in at least 25 years. Eventually Akiva replaces Alex […]
Akiva and Alex experiment with a new format, recording a podcast live on a new app called ZCast.

Alex is too depressed to host a podcast this week … or to correctly set up his fancy new microphone.

Rather than discussing the Vikings game, Akiva tries to […]
An action packed episode of 32 Fans in 32 Days this week. We start off with Akiva mourning both the Jets and his poor prognostication.

Alex and Akiva also expose themselves as completely ignorant about morning television while discussing the Serial podcast, conspiracy theories, Donald Trump, and […]
This week Akiva & Alex rank the week 13 games from 16 to 1 in order of excitement. The podcast gets off to a rough start because Akiva isn’t paying attention.

Alex ranks the teams from 1-32 in terms of how interesting the remainder of their schedule is (spoiler alert: the Niners and Browns are must-miss TV), and Akiva chides Alex for a bit of homerism. Akiva also complains about announcers and Alex pines for networks to provide alternate announcer options on lesser network channels.
Back to the basics this week, as we’re gimmick free in previewing week 11. Akiva says NFL refs can’t pay attention in the last 30 seconds, perhaps because they don’t get paid overtime. Alex provides an update on Peyton/Brady career ranks, with Brady making a huge jump on Peyton this year, but Brady needs another […]
Akiva and Alex jump back in where they left off last week, ranking NFL head coaches 16 to 1.

Recorded Monday afternoon before the Colts/Panthers game, this week features a mournful Akiva still recuperating from a tough Sunday.

A depressed and exhausted Akiva after the first 23 innings of the 2015 World Series can’t even get excited about his 4-2 Jets as 32 Fans previews NFL Week 8. But Alex is excited about two of the best matchups of the season thus far (Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh and Green Bay @ Denver). The guys […]
Akiva & Alex preview week 7, but first they talk about some exciting developments in their lives. It’s been a long climb, but Alex finally is atop his pile of unlistened-to podcasts. Also, Akiva enjoyed some kind of victory this week or something. The guys discuss the meaning of an undefeated season and role play […]
With every team in the NFL having played 4 games, Akiva and Alex reset their power rankings, comparing them to the preseason to see which teams have excelled and which have faltered. Few have been more impressive than the Bengals, so the guys welcome back Zach Sosna to crow a bit and talk about whether Andy […]
In a shocking development, Alex drives over to Akiva’s house to watch the Vikings/Broncos game (on delay) and then record an in-person podcast. Due to crying children, angry wives and a brother itching to drive home, this week’s episode is truncated, but those demanding an in person podcast (with apologies to Ari Gold for not bringing him along to witness it) have […]
Another podcast delayed by the Jewish holidays, this week Alex travels to Israel to visit Akiva, but the guys are still recording over Skype, albeit it from only a few miles away from each other. Fair warning: Alex goes a little nuts on Akiva when Akiva describes the Vikings as “awful” (did Akiva miss week 2 and week 3?).
Recorded in the afterglow of a huge Jets victory on Monday Night Football, Akiva is so exuberant that he brings on a guest in fellow Jets fan (and podcast alum) Av Sinensky, who makes sure to diss Colts fan Jake Lewin.

At the end of the podcast Seattleite Ari […]
Today we’ve reach the 3rd-ranked New England Patriots and we’re joined by Pats fan Michael Clark. But whatever could we talk about with a Patriots fan? This one will be a doozy. But eventually we do get to discussing the 2015 Pats on the field. Also, in an effort to get all of America to […]

Akiva is a Jets fan, but he needs help getting excited about a team led by Ryan Fitzmagic and Geno Punched-In-The-Face, so he’s joined today by Av Sinensky and a fine fellow named Harold Rosengarten.
