So, we knew Carolyn made great TV the very first second she showed up on Survivor 44 — which, coincidentally, was the very first second of Survivor 44. But who knew that she would be such a gamer? Carolyn has been pulling all the right levers and we break down her surprisingly stealthy game so far after four episodes. We also get into the big tribe shuffle, Josh’s really bad lying, and seeing TWO challenges on an episode. Then, we tackle the new Commanders news that Dan Snyder has apparently cleaned out his office. THANK THE LORD! Come and get some.

Shamed hosts Dalton, Rick, and Brendan reflect on their miserable prognosticating skills and also try to get to the bottom of why women keep getting voted of the game first. It’s a full Survivor 44 episode 3 breakdown, complete with a new slate of winner picks. We then shift gears to talk about all the moves made by our sad sack Washington Commanders in free agency. Will any of the moves make a difference? Do they ever? Hey, let some fellas dream for a minute. Time codes below.

We’ve got special messages from Survivor winners, Survivor legends, and Survivor fan favorites, as well as a few former NFL players and media members insane enough to join us on this nonsensical ride. It’s a super fun collection of voices you’ll have to hear to believe, including one special secret mystery guest at the very end who crashed out podcast even though he was definitely NOT INVITED!

Plus- What's next for the Commanders at QB? Standout moments from the weekend's playoff action and what to expect as the playoffs march forward.
The Commanders end another disappointing season on a high note, decimating the Dallas Cowboys as rookie quarterback Sam Howell shines and the injury plagued defense dominates.

We talk it all out while also looking ahead to the future — a future that could be without Dan Snyder as owner!
Riverboat Ron gambled with a change at QB. He lost... big. With a playoff spot on the line, Carson Wentz and the Commanders delivered another dreadful offensive performance.

Join the guys as they shift focus to Washington playing spoiler and pin their hopes to another early playoff exit for the Cowboys.
The Washington Football Team’s playoff chances took a big hit with a 27-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday night that puts them into Do or Die territory — no Survivor pun intended — when it comes to getting into the playoffs. Dalton, Rick, and Brendan break down the performance of the COVID-depleted WFT and look ahead to next week. Then, Survivor legend Malcolm Freberg joins us.

Everything went wrong for the Washington Football Team offense for the first 55 minutes against the Dallas Cowboys.

Take a seat on our bench of futility — a bench that was NOT flown in by Jerry Jones.

The Washington Football Team defense remained missing in action, but the offense twice came from behind in the 4th quarter in thrilling fashion and Dustin Hopkins (with help from THE CHEESEMAN!) made the most of his second chance to carry the WFT to victory over the snake-bitten New York Giants.
