The Sean and Shook Podcast
The Sean and Shook Podcast, coming to you from both coasts of the United States. Sean Barie and Nick Shook cover the latest topics in the sporting world each week. Follow each of them on Twitter @Sean__Barie and @TheNickShook.
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook recap Week 10 with a new round of rapid reactions, then take a closer look at some teams flirting with fraudulence as the NFL enters the second half of the regular season. The three then shift gears to give a tourist-focused preview of Las Vegas, where F1 returns next weekend.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook get together to cover Week 9 in the NFL and hand out some fun in-season superlatives that are a little off the beaten path. The two then shift gears to Formula One, where a wet and wild race in Brazil left both of them flabbergasted. Despite what the show title says, Max Verstappen really was fantastic Sunday.
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook decide to flip the script on the GRID[IRON] Podcast format for Episode 52, exploring what Aaron Rodgers might ask for next in New York, Russell Wilson's new catchphrase after an emphatic win over the Jets, and what Browns fans would rather do instead of rooting for Deshaun Watson. The trio then shifts gears to F1, where Ferrari ran away with a win in Texas...and Lando Norris bottled another pole position.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook discuss the leading storylines from Week 8 in the NFL before playing a version of "would you rather" centered around eating Ws. After the Hail Mary heard around the football world, the two attempt to determine what Jayden Daniels can't do before diving into obscure NFL rules. The Mexican Grand Prix was a fun one, and Sean is tired of Max Verstappen driving like a petulant child (shoutout to the FIA for finally penalizing him!).
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook discuss two major trades in the NFL involving Davante Adams, the New York Jets, Amari Cooper and the Buffalo Bills before analyzing Tom Brady's approval of minority ownership of the Raiders. The trio previews the United States Grand Prix as F1 returns from break with a visit to the Circuit of the Americas.
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook recap Week 4 in the NFL, where Katie found herself in a love triangle while watching the Lions and Seahawks engage in a Monday night shootout. It was a rough week for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, but another beautiful one for Jayden Daniels. The Ravens look scary good right now, too. The Jaguars, on the other hand...not so much.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap Week 3 in the NFL, in which Jayden Daniels announced his presence to the football world, Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills steamrolled the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the Minnesota Vikings scored another impressive win. Speaking of impressive, Lando Norris was just that in Singapore, where he cruised to an easy victory over Max Verstappen. Will Norris find a way to pull off an incredible title chase comeback?
Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap Week 2 in the NFL, including some stunning early trends (looking at you, Derek Carr), dive into the benching of Bryce Young and debate whether the Eagles made the right call on third-and-3 in their eventual loss to the Falcons. The two shift gears to F1 to recap an engrossing Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where Oscar Piastri took a sledgehammer to the Papaya Rules with his excellent drive to the top of the podium. Was Carlos Sainz or Sergio Perez responsible for their penultimate lap crash? And is Lando Norris really going to close in on Max Verstappen this season?
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook dive into some of the top storylines coming out of kickoff weekend in the NFL, including the Jets' disappointing loss to the 49ers on Monday Night Football, the Patriots' stunning upset win over the Bengals, the Browns' embarrassing showing vs. the Cowboys, the Steelers' defensive dominance over the Falcons, and Tom Brady's underwhelming television debut. The trio then shifts gears into F1, which returns after a week off for a street race in Baku, and dropped some major news regarding a legendary engineer and his new occupation.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap the Italian Grand Prix, where McLaren let their drivers throw away a 1-2 finish and left the door open for Ferrari's Charles LeClerc to earn his second win at Monza. Will the people in papaya realize the chance that's in front of them before it's too late and act accordingly? Is Red Bull totally lost? The trio then shifts to the NFL, where they wrap up their division preview series with a look at the AFC West. Stick around for some chaotic Super Bowl predictions ahead of Week 1!
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook dive into the AFC North with special guest (and noted Steelers diehard) Drew Jones! The trio then shifts to recap the first F1 race since the summer break, the Dutch Grand Prix, where Lando Norris earned his second career victory and left the rest of the grid fearing a McLaren-dominated future.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook continue their season preview series with an efficient look at the NFC West, where the 49ers remain kings until someone proves they can dethrone them. With F1 set to return from the summer break, the three hand out summer superlatives before previewing the Dutch GP. Sean moved (again), Nick ate Italian food, and Katie got stung by a wasp (but loves bees).
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook double down on camp previews with deep dives into the AFC East and NFC East, give over/under projections for win totals for each of the eight teams, and come to the conclusion this will be a rough year for the Giants and Patriots. OIympic talk also makes its way into the show. Nick learned the importance of electricity.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap a thrilling Belgian Grand Prix, where George Russell's courageous strategy decision prevails -- until it didn't. The two dive into a breakdown of what happened at Spa-Francorchamps before delivering some driver news, including Carlos Sainz's decision to move to Williams in 2025, before they spend the rest of the show previewing the NFC South. Charlotte is still a terrible airport.
Katie Caldwell, Nick Shook and Sean Barie (who briefly disappears) recap a dramatic Hungarian Grand Prix, where emotional manipulation, begging and general petulance reigned supreme. McLaren scored a 1-2 finish, but the vibes aren't great because of how it went down. Max Verstappen reverted to his childish past and made contact with Lewis Hamilton (memories!), and Lance Stroll exercised his inherited right to ignore his engineer. Katie delivers some fantastic vibes notes, and the trio then shifts to the football side of the show to preview the AFC South.
Training camp is here, which means it's time for the annual camp preview series! Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook are joined by beloved friend of the show, Carmen Vitali (of FOX Sports) to break down all things NFC North. Will the Lions dominate the division? Are the Packers even better than we think? What are the Vikings? And is the Bears hype for real? Katie, Sean and Nick wrap up the show with predictions for the F1 race in Hungary, and Katie is still melting in her condo in British Columbia.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap a fantastic British Grand Prix, where Lewis Hamilton ended his winless streak with a remarkable drive to the top of the podium. Sean works through his feelings throughout the pod while processing yet another blown opportunity for his favorite team, McLaren, while Katie takes the liberty of pitching a bright future for Williams Racing. Katie's F1 fantasy team, Team All-Hot, had a banner weekend, clawing their way back into the season-long battle for P1.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook hold down the fort in the absence of Katie Caldwell, recapping a dramatic Austrian Grand Prix. The gloves are off between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris following their race-altering wreck. Is this the start of F1's new great rivalry between pals? Do any of us care that George Russell won the race? Will Haas ever finish with double points again? And are we ignoring Alpine too much?
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap the Formula 1 race in Spain, where Max Verstappen won his second straight race, but it certainly wasn't easy. Is Red Bull losing their grip on the F1 grid? Does McLaren have the best car now? Will Lando Norris ever capitalize on pole position? Is Lewis Hamilton -- not Norris -- the greatest threat to Verstappen? Will Sergio Perez ever figure it out again? Sean is also living in an oven, and Katie hates robot phone operators.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap the most thrilling F1 race in years: the Canadian Grand Prix. The trio breaks down Lando Norris' bittersweet P2 finish, Haas' incredible start, Ferrari's awful day, and the sudden reemergence of Mercedes, who doesn't seem to be very fond of Lewis Hamilton in his final season with the team. The GRID[IRON] Gang even wraps in a little NFL news from minicamp, including Aaron Rodgers' absence and Mike Tomlin's three-year extension.
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook reunite to recap the Monaco Grand Prix, in which Charles Leclerc finally secured his most satisfying victory in his Formula 1 career. The trio dives into the underlying storylines of the race and F1, including Esteban Ocon's wild decision to push his teammate into unwinnable corner, the Haas/Red Bull crash on lap one, and what F1 could do to make Monaco more interesting. Katie recaps her notes in the latest VIBES with Katie Caldwell segment, including a tasty addition to her coffee. Sean blew a surprise for his girlfriend.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook gather to recap the race at Imola, where a good chunk of it was a snoozefest before Lando Norris and Max Verstappen produced a fantastic finish. The two dive into the details of the race before looking ahead to what could be a highly intriguing battle at the front of the grid between Red Bull and McLaren. Sean and Nick move on to preview Monaco, home of F1 glitz and glamour (and yachts!) before finishing up with Hate It or Love It. Katie Caldwell sits the night out while watching her beloved Canucks lose in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Lando Norris finally won an F1 race, which means Sean Barie is out for blood on the latest episode of GRID[IRON]. He's pulling no punches, going after Nick Shook for his lack of confidence in Norris and his own personal obligations, which prevented Sean, Nick and Katie Caldwell from attending the race. Sean and Nick also get into a heated argument regarding the context surrounding Norris' maiden win, including Max Verstappen's possible aerodynamic issues contributing to the result. Katie debuts her new vibes-focused segment, and the three deliver an interesting update on their F1 fantasy league standings before wrapping things up with another riveting edition of Hate It or Love It.
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook review the NFL Draft in rapid-fire fashion before diving into Atlanta's curious decision to select Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth-overall pick. The trio then shifts gears to F1, where massive news comes from Milton Keynes: Adrian Newey is leaving Red Bull. How will this affect the future of F1? And is Valtteri Bottas lining up for a return to Mercedes? Who wins in Miami this weekend? And why aren't Sean, Katie and Nick attending the race? Can Sean be a good cat uncle? Can Katie find a happy place in an NHL playoff matchup? Will Nick ever love anything again?
Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap Formula One's first race in China since 2019, dig into Aston Martin's rough day and tough situation with Lance Stroll, Lando Norris' fantastic race, Daniel Ricciardo's unfortunate end, and a nice moment for F1's first Chinese driver, Zhou Guanyu. The two then shift gears to the NFL (38:15) to preview the draft with some rapid-fire topics, and break down the latest uniform changes.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap the latest Formula One race at Suzuka, where Max Verstappen returned to the top of the podium, but more importantly, Ferrari didn't screw everything up! Carlos Sainz remains podium perfect through the three races he's run, which Charles LeClerc turned in a nice effort. Not good: Williams wrecked again, while Mercedes continues to struggle. Oscar Piastri also made a rookie mistake late, but Yuki Tsunoda scored points in his home race! Hate It or Love It includes Katie's disdain for the Phoenix Coyotes' proposed move to Salt Lake City, while Sean got sunburned, and Nick learned the troublesome walnut tree damaged his house. Sean also forgot Zhou Guanyu existed...and it was a bad week for Katie's F1 fantasy squad, Team All-Hot.
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook recap a surprisingly exciting race in Australia, where Carlos Sainz once again proved he's a demon on the track, even without his appendix. Could Sainz replace Checo Perez at Red Bull next year? Will Lewis Hamilton make Ferrari into a legitimate title contender? Did Williams screw over Logan Sargeant by giving his drive to Alex Albon at Albert Park? Hey, McLaren had a great weekend! Haas, too! George Russell, not so much. And on the NFL side, some rule changes have us wondering how penalties could affect games in 2024 -- and whether the kickoff return is truly back. Sean also talks himself through the Steelers' remodeling of their quarterbacks room. Nick enjoys a good tractor pursuit.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook (Katie Caldwell is out this week) recap the season-opening F1 race in Bahrain, where some midfield action kept things entertaining, but not nearly as interesting as the sport's many issues off the track. Can Red Bull fix their mess by simply dumping Christian Horner? What's going on with the FIA? Can Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda co-exist? And will Carlos Sainz continue to outperform Charles LeClerc? On the NFL side, cuts are already happening in bunches, including the end of an unhappy marriage in Denver. Sean went to a baseball game with his dad, too.
Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook recap their week of Super Bowl LVIII coverage in Las Vegas -- in which they finally met in person! -- and summarize a thrilling finish at Allegiant Stadium, which the two took in from very different locations within the city. Sean Barie suppresses his envy before realizing it was probably better he wasn't there. The three then shift to F1 just days before the start of the 2024 season to break down and rate every single livery on the grid. Katie and Nick end up wearing glasses.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook pick up the pieces from Lewis Hamilton's bombshell announcement that he will be leaving Mercedes for Ferrari in 2025, shaking up the Formula One world a year before it becomes a reality. How will Mercedes perform amid a legendarily awkward season ahead? How will they replace Hamilton? What does this mean for Ferrari's prospects? And why did F1 reject Andretti's attempt to join the grid? The pair shifts to the latest NFL news, in which Sean believes Dan Quinn was a bronze medal of a hire, and the two deliver their Super Bowl LVIII predictions. Will Sean make it out to Vegas??
Katie Caldwell is back from her week's hiatus and joins Sean Barie and Nick Shook to cover the latest NFL coaching news -- Jim Harbaugh, Antonio Pierce and Brian Callahan join the head coaching ranks -- and look ahead to Championship Weekend, where the trio unsurprisingly forms a consensus on who is headed to Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII, even if it makes Sean want to jump off a cliff. Do You Even Know returns, with Nick in the crosshairs, before the three dive into some truly awful new team names in F1. They close out the show by putting an F1 spin on a classic game of choice, in which we learn how Sean would like to treat the Circuit of the Americas.
Katie Caldwell was at work during the pod this week, so Sean Barie and Nick Shook were fortunate to welcome back friend of the show, Carmen Vitali of FOX Sports! The trio breaks down Super Wild Card Weekend and embarks on a deep dive into the fun story that is the Green Bay Packers before looking ahead to Divisional Round weekend and making some bold predictions. Sean and Nick skip Do You Even Know, but slide in a little F1 talk (McLaren's orange is oranger!) before wrapping things up.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook preview Super Wild Card Weekend in the NFL, deliver bold predictions and recap a crazy week of coaching changes before returning to grill Katie (Kate?) in Do You Even Know?

Sean Barie and Nick Shook sit down behind a couple of mics fresh off the Browns' playoff-clinching win over the Jets, which Nick is happy to celebrate for the city of Cleveland. The two then dive into the current NFL playoff picture and make their predictions. Will the Packers sneak in? Can the Bills finish off their late-season run? Are the Jaguars going to complete their collapse? The pair then recaps their favorite and least favorite stories of the year in both the NFL and F1 before wrapping the show with Hate It or Love It.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook take a new approach to examining who is on the hot seat as the NFL nears its final month. Is Todd Bowles safe in Tampa? Will Robert Saleh lose his job over the Jets' nightmare that is 2023? Might Mike Tomlin be losing his grip over the Steelers? The three then look back at what they've missed in Formula One, and celebrate Logan Sargent's return to Williams Racing in 2024.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap Week 10 in the NFL and Week 11's TNF, discuss Deshaun Watson's season-ending injury, Katie expresses appreciation for Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's apparently genuine love for each other, and they choose their winners and losers from the week that was in the NFL. F1 can't help but interrupt on a few occasions, because they're racing in LAS VEGAS, BABY, where things are off to a rough start. Nick pulls a fast one on Sean in Do You Even Know?, while Katie wishes they were all in Vegas.
It's BIG PICTURE QUESTION TIME on the GRID[IRON] Pod, where Sean Barie and Nick Shook drill deep into some thought-provoking subjects regarding the NFL and F1. Oh, they also pick winners and losers, recap two weeks of football, two F1 races, forget to do their podium predictions, and wish Katie Caldwell a happy birthday. Plenty more to discover inside!
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook are joined by special guest, unofficial Queen of Canada Hayley McGoldrick, to break down Week 7 in the NFL and an interesting weekend at the Circuit of the Americas. Is it time to give up on the Bills? Can we say the same about Aston Martin's Lance Stroll? Was Lewis Hamilton truly just a few more laps from beating Max Verstappen? Will Logan Sargent return with Williams in 2024? And what on earth is going on with Brock Purdy and the 49ers? Do You Even Know sees Katie post a quality 2 for 4 effort...and reveal her past dating life. Nick has a problem with a walnut tree.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook are back after a couple of weeks off with a fresh episode and a ton to discuss! The trio recaps winners and losers from Week 6 in the NFL, covers Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes investing in Alpine, Max Verstappen's third driver's championship, and look back on a controversial race in Qatar. The three then look ahead to the US Grand Prix in Texas with some podium predictions, and Sean admits he stinks at fantasy football.
Sean Barie and Nick Shook reunite to recap Week 3 (plus Thursday Night Football) and choose their biggest winners and losers, including Josh McDaniels' peculiar decision Sunday night, the Lions' dominant win over the Packers, the nightmare in Chicago, Arizona's surprise win over the Dallas Cowboys, and of course, the most popular relationship in the NFL, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. A recap of F1 includes a sleepy race in Suzuka, where Sean's McLaren guys scored a double podium, and an attempt to predict where Liam Lawson might land in 2024 with no seats confirmed to be available. Nick puts in a legendary performance in Hate It or Love It...and can't be convinced ghosts are haunting his house.
Katie Caldwell is BACK! Katie, Sean Barie and Nick Shook recap Week 2 in the NFL -- Sam Howell is good, Deshaun Watson and Kenny Pickett are not, and the Falcons are 2-0?! -- before reviewing a wild F1 race in Singapore. Red Bull's sweep is no more! Ferrari won a race! The trio look ahead to the race at Suzuka, and Sean and Nick also send Katie to an 0-3 performance in Do You Even Know?
Sean Barie and Nick Shook return to recap all the happenings of NFL's Week 1, including Aaron Rodgers' season-ending Achilles injury, the 49ers' decimation of the Steelers, Tua Tagovailoa's statistical explosion, Jordan Love's fantastic debut, and so much more! The duo shifts to F1 to look back at Monza and ahead to Singapore, where we'll officially start counting down the steps in Red Bull's march to history, and find other reasons to watch the final eight races of 2023.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook are back to wrap up their season preview series with the AFC West, featuring the incredibly astute Omar Ruiz of NFL Network! The gang breaks down the outlook for each AFC West team: Will the Chargers finally live up to expectations? Are the Chiefs still kings? Will the Broncos figure it out under Sean Payton? And what should we expect from the Raiders? The usual trio then shifts to Formula One, which returns after a relaxing summer break with a stop at Zandvoort. Podium predictions get a little ambitious, and Katie delivers another legendary moment in GRID[IRON] history.
Katie Caldwell, Sean Barie and Nick Shook break down the -- in Katie's words -- "deeply forgettable" AFC South. Will the Jaguars run away with the division? Can the Titans overcome their personnel shortcomings? Will Anthony Richardson prove Sean wrong? Hate It or Love It features the guys quizzing Katie on sports movie quotes, and then the trio recaps the highlights of the F1 summer break. Nick is also doing this podcast while missing a tooth.
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook are joined by a very special guest: NFL Network's (and the Around The NFL Podcast's) Gregg Rosenthal! The quartet breaks down all things AFC East -- will the Patriots rise up from the afterthoughts, and might the Jets falter? -- before Nick drops a new segment on Gregg -- STORY TIME -- with no prior warning. The show then shifts to F1, where they went racing in Belgium and -- surprise -- Max Verstappen won. McLaren wasn't good, though, and it rained, and a team principal got fired. Plenty to talk about, folks.
Katie Caldwell is out for the week, but Sean Barie and Nick Shook scored a star to take her place: NFL Network's and Jomboy Media's Chris Rose! The three dive into the AFC North, providing predictions for each team's final record and full breakdowns of how they see the division shaking out. Sean and Nick then shift gears to F1 to recap the Hungarian Grand Prix, where Lando Norris scored another P2 and Sergio Perez finally returned to form. Nick also made a new friend while in Los Angeles, and Sean loves living the luxurious life of Uber XL.
Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook return for a new episode of GRID[IRON], in which the three marvel at the overnight transformation of McLaren. Lando Norris went from only dreaming of podiums to earning P2 in his home race, and rookie teammate Oscar Piastri wasn't far behind him! Is this the start of an entertaining second half of the 2023 F1 season? Plus, Nyck De Vries is out at AlphaTauri, and favorite son of F1, Daniel Ricciardo, is back on the grid! Sean and Nick grill Katie on college football trivia (prepare to be disappointed), then the trio tackles the NFC West. Are the Cardinals worth watching? Will the Rams be any better than their 5-12 finish in 2022? And can the 49ers find a solution at QB quick enough to win the division?
Sean, Katie and Nick recap the F1 weekend in Austria, where track limits violations run rampant, Max cruises to another win, and Lando Norris gives McLaren legitimate hope (while also snitching on Lewis Hamilton)! Will it carry over to Silverstone (where Lando's car is going to look extra shiny)? Plus, the three review their podium predictions, then grill Nick about tennis in this week's edition of Do You Even Know? before diving into the NFC East. Will the Eagles repeat? Can the Cowboys dethrone them? And are the Giants contenders...or pretenders?
Katie, Sean and Nick are joined by a very special guest, the spectacular Carmen Vitali of FOX Sports, to dive into a preview of the NFC North. Carmen gives the trio a heaping of insight into the division she covers, including a gutsy last-place prediction for the Vikings and an optimistic outlook on Jordan Love's first season as the Packers' starting QB. Carmen sticks around for Do You Even Know?, where the three quiz Sean on all things Pennsylvania. F1 heads to the Red Bull Ring, where Max Verstappen is the expected winner, but intrigue remains elsewhere -- especially if it rains. Sean is still having gym problems, too.
Alex Albon drove the wheels off his Williams in Montreal, but some other lackluster performances have Sean, Katie and Nick wondering if changes might be ahead. Will Red Bull find a replacement for Sergio Perez? Is Lance Stroll's silver spoon slowly melting away? Will Daniel Ricciardo's and Will Arnett's alternate broadcast survive? And can we accept the fact Ferrari got its strategy right? Plus, the trio begins their division-by-division NFL training camp preview with one that's wide open: The NFC South.
Katie is too busy being a cool kid to do the pod, so Sean and Nick throw it back to the old days with a two-man show recapping the last two races in F1 and exploring whether they give much of a damn about the latest news from the NFL. Sean grills Nick on soccer, and Nick self-sabotages in spectacular fashion. Monaco was entertaining once the rain arrived, but Lando Norris likely won't want to remember his weekend in Barcelona. Is Mercedes back? And will Sean ever learn how to use string lights?
Sean, Katie and Nick reconvene to recap a typically sleepy period of NFL news that included some surprisingly exciting rule changes and an update from Jets paradise, where Aaron Rodgers' first practice ended prematurely. Katie and Nick set their sights on Sean for a rousing round of Do You Even Know? before the trio shifts to F1, which canceled last week's race but is already prepping for a showdown at legendary Monaco. Each gives their podium predictions -- including a spicy shot called by Katie -- before they wrap things up with their favorites in television. And last but not least, Kenturby Ducky.
Sean, Katie and Nick reconvene for another episode, fresh off watching the F1 race together virtually! The good news: The Miami race was better than last year -- well, unless you asked Katie. The trio discusses whether Red Bull might ever let Max and Checo fight, and determine who is the worst of the three rookies this season. An NFL draft recap follows with winners and losers, including a debate about the Lions' draft class. The latest round of Do You Even Know? puts Katie in the crosshairs, where she's tasked with answering nearly impossible questions. Nick moved this week, so obviously that will be his choice for Hate It or Love It.
The GRID[IRON] crew is back to preview a BIG weekend in sports! The NFL draft is here and there's plenty of room for debate regarding the quarterbacks. Is C.J. Stroud's cognitive test score really a concern? Will Anthony Richardson be good? And is Bijan Robinson the best player in the draft? The trio shifts gears to preview the F1 weekend in Azerbaijan following the April break, which features a new (and very confusing) sprint format. What did each F1 team need during their vacations? Is Fernando Alonso really dating Taylor Swift? And does Nick know anything about hockey?
A new era is here! GRID[IRON] is a podcast focused on football and Formula One, and after a crazy weekend in Australia, Sean Barie, Katie Caldwell and Nick Shook have plenty to discuss! Is Mercedes' surprise performance a sign of things to come (3:00)? Is it time to have another tough talk about Ferrari (14:30)? The FIA botched another difficult judgment call (20:30), but not before Nick gave his buddies a 60-second explainer on F1 while at the bar (31:00). Pro Day season is finished ahead of the NFL draft, leaving one question to answer: Is Anthony Richardson the real deal (39:00)? The trio wraps things up by introducing themselves to the audience, including how Katie met Nick and Sean and the origins of Sean and Nick's friendship (51:30). Hate It or Love It made the cut for the rebrand, and -- surprise -- Sean still hates Florida drivers (1:01:00).
This is it -- the final episode of The Sean and Shook Podcast. It's been a fun ride! Sean, Katie and Nick recap the latest Formula One race in Saudi Arabia, dive into the trouble brewing in Red Bull's paradise, and lament the disappointments of a few newer drivers. The three then recap the latest in the NFL and thank the league's news cycle for advancing the Aaron Rodgers story...even if there isn't quite an end. A sinkhole also developed outside Nick's apartment. Oh, and there's BIG NEWS at the end of the podcast. The future is bright!
Sean, Katie and Nick return with a quick recap of what's happened in the NFL since we last recorded (did you know the Chiefs won the Super Bowl?) before looking ahead to NFL free agency. Tom Brady retired (again)[12:00]. Derek Carr is headed to New Orleans [16:30]. Is Aaron Rodgers really going to New York? [26:50] The three then SHIFT GEARS [34:55] because FORMULA ONE IS BACK!! They recap the opening race in Bahrain and lament the downfall of McLaren before playing a new game in which they describe each of the existing teams on the grid [45:30]. Katie's Aston Martin gem is worth the entire episode [1:00:50].
Sean, Katie and Nick are back to recap a SUPER Wild Card Weekend in the NFL before looking ahead to the Divisional Round and providing their picks (in which Nick and Katie are on the same wavelength). The trio then turns their focus to what is expected to be a wild offseason of quarterback movement, predicting where some of the biggest names (Aaron Rodgers to...New York?!) will land. The three then wrap things up by involving the viewers in their first podcast streamed live to Twitch, and close with another riveting round of Hate It or Love It.
Sean, Katie and Nick return to reorder their NFL tiers after three weeks. Who are the movers and shakers? Is it time to stick a fork in the Jets? The Titans? Will the Cardinals make a change at head coach? Will the Lions keep winning? The trio shifts to a holiday-themed segment of Naughty and Nice, in which Katie has an issue with Aaron Rodgers, and Nick just wants Rob Gronkowski to go away. The three then finish with Hate It or Love It, as always. Sean still doesn't like one specific rental car company...unless they sponsor the pod.
After a few weeks away, Sean, Katie and Nick return to sort out the NFL's spread of teams into five tiers. One might even refer to them as food groups. But first, the trio dives deep into the Thanksgiving talk, including attempting to define stuffing, searching for reasons why oyster stuffing exists, and deciding whether green bean casserole is good, bad or irrelevant (like the Texans). The three then bid F1 farewell for 2022, reflecting on the great memories of the season and looking forward to the new lineup for 2023. They also discuss Max Verstappen's damaged reputation, while Nick attempts to reconcile it with his support for Red Bull. Hate It or Love It includes Sean's experience getting catfished, Katie's latest documentary pick, and Nick's disdain for Gen Z holding their lav mics instead of properly wearing them.
After a two-week absence, Sean, Katie and Nick are back to recap what we've missed and what we're learned from the last few weeks of the NFL season! The trio discusses the trade deadline, what it means for the buyers and sellers, and what we should look forward to in Week 9 and beyond. With its champions already determined, Formula One is winding down, but not without some fun from outgoing drivers like Daniel Ricciardo. Hate It or Love It includes Nick's mic dropping out on live TV, Katie's disappointment with the late timing of Ricciardo's final stand, and Sean's accidental intrusion into a new neighbor's apartment.
Sean, Katie and Nick return to recap Week 5 in the NFL, including the Bills' blowout win over Sean's Steelers, the Jets' victory over the Dolphins and more. Katie and Nick get into a fiery discussion regarding Brandon Staley's decision to go for it on fourth down in Cleveland before the trio shifts to Formula One, where Max Verstappen is officially a two-time world champion...? Sean had a bad rental car experience, Katie is bummed about the W Series' abrupt conclusion, and Nick endured 15 innings of playoff baseball and lived to tell the tale.Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6P3w4J517Gid6fMuJB6yqJ?si=0eWHknZ4Q6C-BGCxoK5eGwApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-68-of-course-he-went-for-it/id1413595319?i=1000582700783
The gang's back together! Sean, Katie and Nick recap Week 4 and what they learned from the NFL action, dive into Kenny Pickett's Steelers debut, examine the state of the Buccaneers, and look ahead to Week 5. Then they shift to F1, where Max Verstappen did not lock up the driver's championship, but can do so this weekend in Japan. The trio also discusses George Russell's displeasure, Valtteri Bottas' newfound freedom, and the reaction to Verstappen's conduct when frustrated. Hate It or Love It includes Katie's discovery of bag fries, Sean's dislike for waiting, and Nick's iPhone troubles. Sean also does a great Yinzer impression.
With Sean hunkered down in Florida awaiting Hurricane Ian, Nick and Katie break down Week 3 in the NFL and look ahead to Week 4. Are the Jaguars legitimately good? Is Brandon Staley's seat getting warm? Will the Raiders figure it out? Katie and Nick then shift to Formula One, where Katie takes a moment to say goodbye to her Canadian king, Nicholas Latifi. Hate It or Love It involves a summer in which Katie lived among the bears. Nick is just happy the Guardians won the AL Central.
