After a 5 week break, Kyle and Pat are back to give every team a performance review through week 6 of the fantasy season. We weighed team injuries, actual performance, and possible performance to determine who's getting promoted, who's getting passed over this time, and who's not even getting a bonus this year. Clearly we aren't biased. We also took a look at some interesting trades in the league and called in with Tyler of Team Erdman and Paul of Team Mundis for a pulse check on two teams in very different situations ahead of week 7.
Closing Track: Big Tymers - "Still Fly"

On part 2 of our season 2 opener, we break down the action from week 1, extrapolating a 1-week sample size onto the entire season for each team along the way. We close out by predicting winners from each division, picking losers who won't make the playoffs, and ultimately pick our winner for the season.
One more thing: due to Kyle's new grad school workload, episodes will probably be closer to monthly this season (barring the occasion special report if necessary). Stay tuned for an episode in October on the other side of finals week!
Closing Track: Thin Lizzy - "The Boys Are Back in Town"

Kyle and Pat are back for season 2, and since we haven't recorded in four months we have quite a bit to cover. On this half of the episode we discuss the outcome of the 2023 rookie draft and the myriad small-potatoes trades that went down during this off-season.
Pardon the technical difficulties toward the beginning of the episode - the gear has been gathering dust all summer and we had to work out a few kinks.

Is this Episode 21 of Season 1? Or Episode 1 of Season 2? The NFL draft came and went so it's really feeling like the 2023 season has started even if the league's lineups still look the same. This week, Kyle & Pat recap the fantasy-relevant players in the 2023 NFL draft, the implications for all of the teams in the league, and we predict the first round of the league's rookie draft (coming up in August).
Closing Track: Drake - "Draft Day"
We're joined remotely by the PST contingent for this episode, Tyler of Erdman's Cellmate and Sean of the Fighting Dennises. This week, we chat through all the action from the first couple days of free agency, what to expect from our league's March Madness pool, and the mindset behind the Dennises massive team rebuild, the first in Cashman's Heroes history.
Closing Track: Lil B - "Fuck KD (Kevin Durant Diss)"
After catching quite a bit of heat during last episode's 2022 trade review, Paul of Mundis's Last Rep drove straight to Towson to set the record straight and contest his 1.7 trade GPA. In this special edition of Hensley's Hangout, Kyle sits down with Paul to talk about where things went wrong for the Mundis's, the though processes behind his head-scratching trades, and which of the show's hosts is a slanderous loser.
Closing Track: Eminem ft. Nate Dogg - "Till I Collapse"
On our first offseason episode, we're joined by Brendan of the Heflins (who have missed the playoffs two years in a row). We painstakingly break down all 16 of the trades that wend down during the 2022 season, ultimately grading each trade and calculating each owner's GPA at the end of the season. Who got closest to a 4.0, hopefully preparing their team for a big 2023? And who may have tanked their future hopes in a misguided attempt at "Win Now"?
Closing Track: Foxx ft. Lil Boosie & Webbie - "Wipe Me Down"
Kyle & Pat close down season 2 of Cashman's Heroes, reviewing the fantasy season finale and looking ahead to the actual NFL playoffs this weekend.

Closing Track: Travis Scott & Young Thug - "Pick Up the Phone"
On Part 2 of this episode, we call in Hunter from Team Prudence while he's driving from New Freedom to Sarasota thanks to Southwest Airlines to get his side of the story (and all the gory details he forgot) of the whole Christmas Eve debacle. Question for the audience: is it really ruining Christmas if your family isn't ashamed of you? Give us a call to let us know where you stand.
Kyle had to put Hunter on speakerphone and hold him up to the mic because Susky won't pay for new audio gear... take it up with Dr. Hensley! We had to break this episode up into two parts because the full conversation wouldn't fit into the podcast platform's size limit, sorry about that.
Closing Track: Chief Keef - "Hate Being Sober"
This week, Kyle and Pat catch up during that weird time between Christmas and New Years. Pat had an eventful Christmas Eve down at M&T Bank Stadium with Hunter from Team Prudence... we'll get into that in part 2. We spend a little too much time breaking down a chaotic week in the real NFL with wide-ranging implications for fantasy football in the league, from the Jets QB "controversy" to front office chaos in Denver and concussions in Miami.

Kyle & Pat are recording remotely for the first time as COVID has ravaged the Chamberlin household (we're fine). Pat provides a full scene report from M&T Bank stadium for the Ravens' ugly comeback win over the Broncos before breaking down a couple buzzer-beater trades that came in before the trade deadline on Monday. Abshagen won the week and we don't have a guest lined up, so we spend a bit more time than usual pontificating on the week's matchups - sorry in advance.

After reviewing the week's matchups and their playoff implications, we call in Adam of Nate Mcgreal's Birthday, who has his second birthday party in three weeks. Happy Birthday, Nate. Finally, as always, we make our picks for week 13 and only one of us thinks we can win.
Closing Track: RXK Nephew - "Beam on Ya Toes"
Donnie ropes himself into yet another trade drama with The Fighting Joe Dennises, who are determined to own the next two drafts by any means necessary.

We outline several trades that rocked the league this week, talk through the week's matchups in depth, call in with the resurgent Mundis' Last Rep, and make picks for week 12.
Closing Track: ASAP Rocky, Quavo, Lil Uzi Vert, & Frank Ocean - "RAF"
Kyle & Pat get loose and celebrate the first win of the season for defending champion/current last place team Nate McGreal's Birthday (happy birthday, Nate).

And as always, we break down week 10 and predict winners for week 11.
Closing Track: 50 Cent - "In Da Club"
Kyle & Pat are faded off the Saints pack on this special edition Victory Tuesday/Election Day Special episode.

As usual, we break down week 9's matchups and look ahead to week 10, plus we call in with Brennan of team Boakland to talk about the state of the Bears. Spoiler alert: he's less bullish than the Heflins.
Closing Track: Jeezy ft. Akon - "Soul Survivor"
We break down the Ravens divisional win against the Browns that came after a much-needed second half adjustment before breaking down the whirlwind of trades before the NFL's trade deadline.

Kyle rolls out a new soundboard featuring samples from sources as disparate as NFL Blitz and Trailer Park Boys.
Closing Track: Migos - "T-Shirt"
We rant about the legions of freshly minted Phillies fans overloading the timeline before reflecting on the state of the league at the fantasy season's halfway point: the no-brainers, the surprises, and the disappointments. Then we break down the Week 7 matchups, headlined by Dan Erdman's Cellmate's third straight contested win on a Monday night. Boakland calls in to recall his world tour with the Navy and fill us in on how many texts he missed during his deployment. We wrap up by picking winners for week 8, including a shocking reversal of opinion by the Commissioner.
Closing track: Max B - "Why You Do That"
We bemoan the sorry state of the 3-3 Ravens before chopping it up about week 6 and the Heflin's shocking blowout win over Donnie's Running Tab.
