Episode 39 has Carlos discussing the “Big Game” from the NFL this Sunday.
What is the case for KC? San Fran?
Who does he have to win the game?
After that he runs down some interesting props he found adjacent to the game itself. Some of them definitely get into the bizarre and dark territory.

Carlos scraps the original episode and has an update as Kobe Bryant dies in a helicopter accident today.
Under the circumstances, it would have been inappropriate to have a normal episode. To that end, we’re including a link to the TSN.ca article which is getting updated with additional information as it comes.
We do not intend to speculate further to spread any misinformation.

We’ll be back later on in the week with a more light-hearted conventional episode. Condolences to the Bryant family and all those affected.

Carlos partakes in a solo-pod talking about the final 4 teams in the NFL.
Does he think the Packers can beat the 49ers? What about Tennessee’s prospects against Kansas City?
Then some time is taken to consider the impact and context of the Astros cheating scandal. Is it even a big deal in the context of baseball history?

Episode 36 had a major do-over with the surprising Wild Card weekend results in the NFL.
Carlos goes into solo-pod mode to discuss the Patriots being knocked off by the Titans, the Saints losing to the Minnesota Vikings in a real shocker and some thoughts on the Bill-Texans game.
Through the power of editing, Dave joins in to talk about the College National Championship to wrap up the show.
Happy 2020 and we’ll see you on the next episode with some more discussion on the NFL playoffs.

Episode 34 has Carlos and Dave returning after an extended break for “load management.”
On this episode they are recapping the World Series, discussing some of the implication of the Nationals’ win, what happened with the Astros, what does it mean to their claim on the open “team of the decade” title and some other considerations.
Some random sidebars and diversions aside (including Dave not realizing HD-DVD's actually existed), there is also some CFL talk, some discussion of pretentious cross-country running and some of the usual unprovoked bashing of certain players and teams, plus a random discussion of Antonio Brown and his latest antics.
