And Then There Were Three, Well, Make That Two (GW 36)

May 03, 2024 04:00 - 55 minutes - 26.4 MB

In a podcast that frequently has no apparent FPL value, we take it to a new level this week and really talk about nothing for about 54 of the 55 minutes.  And we're sort of fine with that.  No game recaps, no league recaps, but as J. Peterman would say, we certainly did use a lot of words. #Liverpool #ManCity #Arsenal #ManU #LaLigarie Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We're Back and (not) Better Than Ever!

April 19, 2024 04:00 - 53 minutes - 25.2 MB

A true rambling bunch of complete nonsense with loos ties to Liverpool, SNL, Chelsea, and Arsenal.  Moffett once again beats a few points into the ground after not making them very well in the first place and we then talk about how great Rayan Gosling is as an SNL host. If you're looking for double GW 34 advice, look elsewhere.  Though we all know you never should have been looking here in the first place. Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

October 20, 2023 06:00 - 54 minutes - 19.3 MB

Well, we talked for well over two hours this week but lucky for you, and thanks to a mischievous cat,  we only have about 50 mins to show for it.  It's another stupid INT break so we briefly cover that, but then focus on the more important things in life, like Christmas madness two weeks into Fall, buying new golf clubs, the AI/Robot takeover, and the ongoing failures of Mac Jones.  League updates and some other nonsense mixed in. #FPL #EPL #Clyde #INTBreak #PremierLeague Opening and fille...

September 29, 2023 06:00 - 42 minutes - 14.8 MB

After another disappointing week, Pat and Pete decide enough is enough, but not before thoroughly trashing their own and each other's teams.  Bets are made, insults are flying (inward and outward), and as per usual, very little is accomplished.  But that's what we're here for.  Pat is on Wild Card, Pete has new performance requirements based on a bet he didn't even make.  Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen
