  • S4 E4 - Things We Pretend to Like but Hate
    2026/02/07

    This episode loses the plot quickly and Steve turns it into things he can't stand. It gets very "Get off my lawn" fast. As a listener, you will love it for all the reasons why Steve is great (or not great) at podcasting.

    You get Jonathan's righteous indignation and Mark just tries to make sense of things.

    MLB, NFL, and NBA gripes abound.

  • S4 E3 - Ideas for Sports Rule Changes
    2026/01/31

    If you like the circular and irrational logic of Steve, this episode is for you.

    Rejecting new ideas and thinking has become a legit hallmark of Steve's persona on the show. What you will listen to is real and unedited. Strap in!

    Taking sports to yesteryear is on tap. New ideas are for nerds who like math, business, and apparently got an MBA at Pepperdine.

    Mark and I offer sound changes with some data and evidence. These make not difference.


    NBA, MLB, NFL all mentioned.

    We're finally here. You get to hear Jonathan's top worst and best sports moments.

  • S4 E2 - Coaching Carousel through the Generations
    2026/01/17

    What the what!?! A third of the NFL has to find a new coach. Once coach shifted from one team to the next. Tomlin resigns and if someone wants him, the Steelers get compensation?

    Winning coach of the year in the NBA seems to be a tell-tale sign that you will get fired within a year or two.

    How did we get here? Is it the new norm? Steve tells you how many coaches were fired and hired in 1975. Staggering.


    We discuss Harbaugh, Gruden, Raiders, Giants, Joe Judge, Daboll, Gannon, McDaniel, Vrabel, and others.

  • S4 E1 - New Year, New Discussion about Analytics
    2026/01/10

    Tommy Pham sets it off in an article in the Athletic regarding his sort of understanding of data, stats, advanced stats, and so on.

    Steve continues with his, "You can't measure everything, INTANGIBLES" and my continued mantra of, "You can, and most people don't understand statistical analysis".

    Now, we have Mark and the voice of reason.

    Oh, and there are 7 NFL head coaches that have been fired. What the what!?!

    2025/12/27

    Mark is back! Well, he is a permanent fixture now. We just are able to execute the original plan.

    It is Steve's turn to give us some of his generational favorites. Steve grew up in Long Beach, California. He has a lot of cool stories of how sports used to be and the fan access to athletes.

    Many of whom we're his neighbors in middle-class Long Beach!

    Dodgers, Angels, Rams, Los Angeles Kings, Lakers, and Clippers appear. We argue about Don Baylor.

  • S3 E27 - Ring or No Ring through the Generations
    2025/12/06

    With recent news regarding sending Chris Paul home from a road game, Steve and I discuss player legacies and the importance of having a ring or not.

    We get into perception and circumstances for players like Charles Barkley, Kevin Durant, Kevin Garnett, Will Clark, Ernie Banks, and others.

    I correct Steve in the fact Johnny Unitas did get Super Bowl ring and Mike Schmidt was on some good Phillies teams, ummm, they won the World Series in 1980.

    Oh, and Steve mentions the Ind!ans.
