In Episode XXVI, Kolsky and Hopkins move on quickly from a generally agreeable discussion about the rapper Drake into heavily sportsy territory on today’s program. The baseball playoffs have begun, which brings to mind the question — “If the baseball playoffs happen and nobody is watching, do they make a sound?” Not really, but seriously — nobody is watching, what gives? Then they digress into a rabbit hole of insane news on the internet following the trail of a Pirate-fan, unicorn-mask-wearing adult film star, before rounding things out with some classic examples of terrible athlete acting… If Kolsky and Hopkins score 100 points and hold the opposing team under 50% shooting, your ticket stub gets you a free Big Mac (at participating McDonalds locations)!!!
Enjoy!

In Episode XVIII, Kolsky and Hopkins bring you what you were probably worried you would never get — the reenactment of last week’s Anna Benson breakdown (which, in this case, is just a delightful double entendre). Ok, maybe you weren’t too worried about it; in fact, maybe you hadn’t really thought about it at all, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t tantalizingly titillating. Throw in a quick discussion of RGIII’s extra-marital (or should we say mid-marital) activities, and you’ve really got something… Listen to this NOW, or Kolsky’s coming to your house in a bulletproof vest with a baton!!!
Enjoy!

In Episode XVII, Kolsky and Hopkins recorded a high-quality hour of high-level discourse about the Trayvon Martin and Anna Benson’s insanity, only to find that they fucked up yet another recording — and believe it or not, this one’s fucked in a new way!! So instead of that delightful hour, you get a few minutes of make-up pod (largely about Chris Davis and baseball’s home run record). It’s worse than make-up sex but better than make-believe sex!!

In Episode XIV, Kolsky and Hopkins cover a laundry list of Revisions & Improvements, reprise “We’ve Got To Talk About This Fucking Music,” and then dive deep into some hardcore sports topics (the Marlins’ empty stadium, the difficulties of DVRing sporting events, etc) before analyzing Kolsky’s relationship with Channing Tatum… Family, mantlepiece… Pull up in the Mickey Mantle fleece… (that will make only slightly more sense later)…
Enjoy!

In Episode IX, Hopkins takes the metaphorical wheel (of the podcast) while Kolsky is taking a more literal wheel (of his car) driving up I-5 from Los Angeles to the Bay Area… The results include an alarming amount of toilet talk, an inadvertent (and somewhat embarrassing) Kolsky detour, and the occasional dropped phone call… And in sports, the guys talk about how chicks should STOP digging the long ball!
Enjoy!
In Episode VI, Kolsky and Hopkins introduce the Revisions and Improvements Department (not by name, of course), take a brief digression into the punk bitchitude of Rip Hamilton, and then spend some good quality time discussing violence in sports. Does violence have a place in sports? In a word, YES! But where? And WHEN?? So much to discuss…
Enjoy!

In Episode III, Kolsky and Hopkins begin by resurrecting some of the great lost episode with a spirited discussion of what would make for the worst final four in each the three major sports.
THEN things get really good, as Kolsky sits down with former Red Sox and Expo and continued counterculture icon Bill “Spaceman” Lee for a good 30 minutes of baseball (and life) education.
ENJOY!!!
