  Episode 113. The most wonderful time of the year Ft. Laura Albanese (Newsday)

  Sep 29, 202650 minS1

  October beckons and it's time to get Wild. The best sports month of the year is on the horizon and Laura emerges from her Mets-fueled fugue state to break down the Wild Card matchups. And yes, somehow the Astros are in this thing. NFL Week 3 had some doozies, including the totally expected Caleb Keenum-Andy Dalton matchup of our geriatric dreams. The Texans are cooked, right? And are the Raiders...good? Cole went to go watch Primetime and breaks it down with the aid of years of To Catch A Predator fan knowledge. You see how this looks, right?

  Sep 22, 202651 minS1

  The Josh Allen experience is a sight to behold, and Buffalo News Bills beat writer Katherine Fitzgerald is on to talk us through that potent offense, what the new Highmark is really like, and the Bill's Mafia's existential agita. Week 2 had everyone reeling and has Cole doing full monologues from Any Given Sunday. Baseball fans bid a fond farewell to Mets play by play broadcaster Howie Rose, and the sport simply isn't going to be the same without him.

  Episode 111. NFL Week 1. Where everything's made up, and the points don't matter. Ft. Evan Barns (NEWSDAY Giants beat reporter)

  Sep 15, 20261h 22mS1

  Are the Giants...back?! Newsday Giants beat writer Evan Barnes is on to discuss the John Harbaugh Effect, the evolution of Jaxon Dart, Malik Nabers return and keeping things in perspective. Also: We have thoughts on Super Bowl half-time show possibilities. The American women won the FIBA World Cup, but it went downhill from there. From Sydney Sweeney's ad, to the Holly Rowe incident, Laura thinks it's time to call out the nonsense against women in sports when we see it. Also: Week 1 is in the books, the Saints were robbed, the Chiefs have a running game, and the Polar Bear returned to Flushing, and it was very, very weird.

  Episode 110. Heaven on Earth Ft. Chris Carrino (NFL Play by Play)

  Sep 9, 20261h 15mS1

  ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL...because NFL Week 1 kicks off Wednesday and NFL play by play broadcaster, NBA Hall of Fame award-winner and muscular dystrophy advocate Chris Carrino is on to talk all things football. We discuss way-too-early predictions, and discuss why the Giants may be one of the more interesting storylines this season. We honor Cardinals reliever Hansel Rincon - and give a side-eye to umpire Doug Eddings - by literally and metaphorically wearing our hats a-tilt, just like Babe Ruth would have done. Oh, and the tennis? It is fantastic. If you're interested in donating to help the fight against neuro-muscular diseases, visit chriscarrinofoundation.org to learn more.

  Episode 109. Media Landscaping Ft. Sam Neumann (Awful Announcing)

  Sep 1, 20261h 1mS1

  The ESPN layoffs are further proof of a rapidly changing sports media landscape and Awful Announcing's Sam Neumann is on to chat about the Pat McAfee-cation of sports, the shift toward content creation, and the AI conundrum (...and the 7-Line Army kerfuffle from this past week). The Mets had a singles night; Laura takes us behind the scenes of a surreal event, and shares her suspicions about Mrs. Met. Plus: Cole and Laura hit the U.S. Open and learned that batch-made Honey Deuces showcase everything wrong with this year's event.
