You're listening to the latest, lamest, and DEFINITELY LAST EPISODE OF ACES RADIO! That's right kids, we're going out on top! Well, for the team. For us, it's definitely the bottom.

Also, Mad Libs from Evonne, man balls, prediction recap (quiet, Bront), and our final sign-off. I can't believe we've done this.

December 04, 2020 15:18 - 1 hour - 40.6 MB

This is definitely the worst episode of ACES Radio ever. Seriously. Our recording bot jacked the audio up, and we repaired it as best we could. It sounds like a junior high AV club spliced it together while on a Mountain Dew bender. There's a lad check-in, recap of Crew vs. Nashville, talk of underdogs, YOUR questions of the week, score predictions, and Sean and Bront trying to cheat the prediction standings again. Get stoned off your ass and give it a listen, you might like it.

Previews of Houston and DC, the world's fastest prediction updates, and of course we take our time with our man balls.

ACES Radio: Episode 161

October 16, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 43.4 MB

Oh boy. We get to talk about Crew vs. FCC. Yay. Can't wait. BUT FIRST. A lad check-in where John and Drabby dodge walnuts and Bront is almost ready to start using his arm for... whatever it is he does with it. We ramble about a bunch of junk related to the game, Jaap Stam sucks, and we hope we get to see Bouba Keita again some day but probably not 'cause Caleb Porter. Man balls are awarded, prediction scores, prediction updates, and... yeah, that's about it.

The lads discuss how terrible the Crew played in general, and CERTAIN UNNAMED PLAYERS did in particular. They discuss the new signing; is he the magic fix?

September 25, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 53.2 MB

What a week. In lad check-in, John took care of a baby, Bront hurt his wrist masturbating, and Drabby may or may not have eaten 12-hour-old fast food. The lads discuss Crew vs. MNUFC, Bront justifies Kei Kamara sucking, and we have to acknowledge Pedro isn't terrible. Bront something something horse in the morning.  What's next in the schedule for Columbus? Why is there a kit consultant? What's Dr. Pete's favorite band?

We're sorry. We tried, but despite our best efforts (#rest), MORGAN HUGHES returned to curse us with his presence. Oh, and I guess he brought PETE MCGINTY as a special guest.

Also, I guess Crew vs. Fusslads recap, man balls, prediction scores and updates, preview the game vs. Chicago, yada yada, don't even worry about Hot Takes it's not like that's a thing that happene...
