Also listen for the revisiting of our over/unders from the preseason.
Ty and I are ready for the season. We preview the Tournament of Champions in Kapalua and break down all the big storylines heading into the season. Taylor and Callaway have new drivers which got us thinking about our equipment and our golf goals for 2022. I then had to talk Ty off the ledge regarding Jordan Speith. We also make our picks for the TOC
Zach was too hoarse to go this week so he joined quickly at the top to talk about the legacy of John Madden. Ryan and I continued from there discussing our thoughts on Madden and where he sits in the history of football. Ryan then suggests we need 10 Mount Rushmore's to fully tell a story. We then weigh in on the 15 finalists for the pro football hall of fame. Ryan offers up his 7 and many arguments ensue. Happy New Year everybody and thank you for supporting the pod.
Happy Festivus Everybody. In honor of the great Frank Costanza, Ryan, Zach and I begin the holiday festivities with the annual airing of grievances. We have a lot of problems with the NFL! Now they are going to hear about it. We talk COVID, The Scheduling, The Officiating. Nothing is off limits. Enjoy and Happy Holidays from everyone who contributes to the podcast.
We conclude our Christmas Movie Month with Lauren's pick "The Muppets Christmas Carol" Michael Caine puts in a tour de force performance as Ebenezer Scrooge. Lauren as expected can't be objective in any way leading to clashes with the host and her husband but it all gets cleared up over a glass of egg nog and bottle of wine. Thanks for supporting the movie pods with Lauren. Enjoy our last Peak Cinema of 2021.
Ty rejoins the pod after a couple month break to talk Tiger's dramatic return to golf, The Saudi Golf League and the championship venues for the 2022 Golf season. We had some technical difficulties in the middle but we weathered it. Enjoy.
Urban Meyer has finally done enough to be fired in Jacksonville. The Bud Kilmer theory is back in play this weekend. We kick around what finally did in the embattled coach. Then we look at the disastrous COVID situation around the league and how it could seriously effect the outcome of the season. Something none of us want. We send another team to the eliminator and our number 1 stays there for another week. Enjoy.
It's a Snownado outside and it was Chevy Chase Hate Fest inside. Lauren goes full blast nuclear over her hatred of Chevy. Ryan sits quietly drinking egg nog and pondering if the storm outside meant the end of the world. I work hard to defend the work of Chevy while also challenging the sanity of Randy Quaid and our our weird celebration of idiots in film. It's a Christmas classic directly from the holiday canon. Enjoy.
My guy Derek rejoins the pod to kick around the fantasy football season that was. COVID Testing policies, the "bad" WalMart and then, we get into the really important stuff like "The Facts of Life", Micheal Nesmith, Nicole Eggert and the pro wrestler known affectionately as the "O.D.B." It's a lot to chew on so enjoy.
Zach is off on Dad duties so it's just Ryan and I cutting open a vein about being a Vikings fan. It's emotional at times but productive. We then take a look at the draft scenarios as they stand right now. Lots of teams with multiple picks and no Quarterbacks on the horizon. Plus we eliminate one more team. Enjoy.
Yippee-Kay-Yay! It's the Christmas season and with that comes one of the all time great Christmas films. "Die Hard" starring Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman. The classic action film on the 30th floor of Nakatomi Plaza. So much to discuss. Is it a Christmas movie? Is it the greatest action movie of all time? Why was this Alan Rickman's first movie? So much to discuss. I totally love it. Enjoy
We take a look back at one of the last Mel Brooks' films from 1993. Robin Hood was one of my favorites growing up but does it hold up today?(It Doesn't) We also look at Mel Brooks and his accomplishments in what has been a pretty amazing career and life. Enjoy.
We open talking about "The Sopranos" trying to figure out the athletic comp to James Gandolfini. Then a transition into the crazy week in college football from Lincoln Riley bolting to USC, Brian Kelly bolting to LSU and Michigan beating Ohio State. We then break down the NFL Playoff Picture and send one more team off to the eliminator. Enjoy
Zach and I fly solo this week as Ryan mourns the loss of Ohio State to Michigan. Zach and I break down Week 11 from the Chiefs resurgence, The Bears continued breakdown and the Vikings big win over Green Bay. Zach and I also break down the potential for expansion in the NFL in the future given the recent St. Louis decision. So much show. Enjoy.
The Dude Abides! Tonight we take on one of our all time favorites. From 1998 it's the classic "The Big Lebowski" starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore among others. It's pretty obvious from the start that we are huge fans of this film and for 90 minutes we basically just laugh at all the funny lines this film has to offer. If you are a fan of the Dude, you will love this.
