On today’s episode, Hunter & Zander chat about the EPL season so far, the NBA Finals taking a ratings hit, a little bit of uninformed MLB talk, and reviews for FIFA 2021 and an indie called “The Witness.”
Guess what? We’re back! No one asked for this, but here we are, and if we’re honest, I’m not sure that anyone actually reads the episode descriptions of any podcast they listen to.
On today’s episode, Hunter requested that all three segments be MMITM Unfiltered and Zander obliged. So, buckle in for this rollicking good time that goes exactly how they planned it: totally unplanned. (It’s still mostly sports, though.)
Well, we absolutely told you about the week we were taking off, so now we are back and ready to go. A lot of football happened while we were away and everything you need to hear about it is in this episode. Then, there’s a Segseg.

What are you all looking for in an episode description? Does it matter to you? Hunter and Zander get off to a rambling start in this one, but eventually ease into NFL, CFP, and wrap it all up with a Segment Segment of Q’s from Youse and a new one, Overrated/Overlooked.
Whew. It has been a bit since the last MMITM. Certainly hoped you realized that FBR has its own feed now. Anyways, NFL football, CFP football, NBA basketball, Ole Miss Appeal, and Random updates, Hunter and Zander are here for it all today.
Whoa. The Colts won? Convincingly? Huh. Well, that and a lot of other stuff happened since our last episode, and Hunter & Zander are here to talk about the stuff they want, which kinda makes it hard to do episode titles.
Things kind of go off the rails in this one. Hunter and Zander hits some rabbit trails you would not see coming if they weren’t in the episode title. Sit back, buckle up, and get ready for whatever they have to throw at you. (Also, NFL Week 7 Picks and a Segment Segment of D’ja […]
Whew. We made it through another international break. They seem to get longer every time. Anyways, since there was no EPL action, the USMNT gets put into the spotlight and Hunter and Zander talk about this break’s national team camp before making their EPL picks.
The title says it all here. With the NBA tipping off on Tuesday night, Hunter and Zander sat down before the ball was tossed to hammer out what the entire season will look like. You might as well not even watch any of the games.
Week 6 is in the book and some teams have already closed the book on their season. Hunter & Zander are here to tell you who’s dead in the water & who still has some life left in them. Also, there were some big College Football shakeups this weekend and bizarre list to dissect.
The president of Liga MX dropped a bomb today. He said that the legacy of the 2026 World Cup, hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico, could be the merging of the nations’ domestic leagues. Hunter and Zander made an emergency recording to discuss.
Well, it’s time for another international break, so get your soccer fix while the getting is good. Hunter and Zander go about their business in this episode and give a comprehensive and encyclopedic recollection of the week that was in English Football.

It has been a busy week across all sections of the soccer world. The Carabao, the EPL, and the Champions League all saw action. There’s only one crew who can make all that digestible in only 30 minutes, and it’s Hunter and Zander.
The boys are back in studio! Finally, Hunter & Zander managed to talk about College Football, NFL, and the Indy Eleven in HD again. To top it all off, if you cannot already tell, someone’s brother, a podcast regular now, makes a surprise call-in.
It may seem like Hunter and Zander have been lazy, but that just means you haven’t been listening to the FBRcast. Regardless, the boys are back for another week of crazy NFL action and some other cool happenings of the past week.
One of these days, Zander is going to get his act together and figure out who picked what and how he and Hunter are doing, but that is not today. Tune in to hear the lads break down MD6 of EPL action.
The first matches of the 18/19 Champions League are in the books, and there were some stunners, some thrillers, and some snoozers. Now, Hunter (8-8) and Zander (10-6) are here to lay it all out for you. (Those numbers are how their picks fared, FYI.)

The NFL kicks off tomorrow and Hunter & Zander have the picks to beat all picks. Then, and it’s definitely not because they couldn’t think of a real topic, they go unfiltered for a few and wrap up the ep with a Segment Segment of Pod O’ Beef & Q’s from Youse.
Aaaaaaaaand just like we all thought, Watford is sitting pretty in third with full points from four matches and United is in tenth. Also, there is some big news around the “offices” here at MMITM/FBR, the USMNT has some key friendlies coming up, and FIFA is giving out an award to someone.
There was so much football this weekend and the NFL hasn’t even started yet. Hunter and Zander tried their best to drink from the fire hose and run through all of the notable things of the weekend, even some of the juicier NFL cuts, trades, and contracts.
The UEFA Champions League Group Stage drawing was today. Hunter and Zander sat down just after the event ended to parse out who has a shot at going through to the Round of 16. (Hint: Red Star is looking pretty shaky.)

Three weeks are in the EPL books and, if you didn’t already know, Liverpool is obviously running away with it. I mean, why even try now? Also, Man United has bailed Arsenal out of the hot seat among the big six by being in total disarray, a bunch of USMNT guys got into action as […]
Don’t be put off by the title, this is a fun ep. Hunter and Zander bounce the conversation all over the place. It was just kinda hard to pick out what the sections were actually supposed to cover. They end up talking about sandwiches and Chick-fil-a in the NBA section. The Seg Seg includes Club […]

Whew. Hunter got steamed in this one, some real hot takes.

Zander is finally back from vacation, so the guys can get back to work. They go over some news they missed, let the episode get kidnapped by their impromptu interview guest, and talk some golf, but mostly beef it up in the last segment.
Zander and Grant somehow persevered through another episode without Hunter’s guiding presence. They tackle some Q’s from Youse, grind out some Cinema Rules to Live By, and they explore their Peaks and Lows of eating in and eating out.
Hunter is out sick again, but that doesn’t slow Zander and Grant down. They probably worked too hard on this, but they picked every single game of this NFL season and reveal their results. They basically tell you exactly how the season will go. You might as well not even watch a single game. Spoiler […]
