Episode LI: ESPN and the Fucking Death of Sports Journalism

In Episode LI, Kolsky and Bonta return with some general talk about the MLB playoffs and some of their usual self-referential bullshit before a debate about Bill Simmons and his suspension at the hands of ESPN’s management takes things over down the stretch… Luckily there’s nobody overseeing this shit-show, so the boys can say whatever the hell they want without fear of suspension — in related knews, they may both be looking for work in the very near future…

Episode L: On The Fucking Road

In Episode L, Bonta picks Kolsky up at the airport and they use modern technology to record a podcast whilst traveling at speeds of up to 75mph. Topics include NFL jerseys, NBA fashion statements, Bay Area traffic patterns and domestic violence in sports, among other assorted issues… It’s a bit of a shorty, but only because it started to feel weird when the car stopped moving — two dudes parked in a driveway talking sports is something neither Kolsky nor Bonta were especially interested in being!!!

Episode XLIX: A Consensus of Fucking Opinion

In Episode XLIX, Kolsky and Bonta share a couple moments of beautiful agreement on exciting new plans that are sure to be implemented by the NBA and NFL just as soon as representatives of those leagues give this podcast a quick listen. They also squeeze in some follow-up on the depressing topics of the past couple pods, and spend entirely too much time discussing Bonta’s personal DVR problems… But seriously folks, just wait ’til you get a load of the unanimity our brave hosts discover — teamwork makes the dream work, baby!!!

Episode XLVIII.v: Fucking Death – It Fucking Sucks

In this mini episode, Kolsky drops a solo pod to talk about a couple of tragedies and an administrative oversight. Specifically — the Tony Stewart crash that killed Kevin Ward, Jr.; the NFL’s embarrassing handling of their PED/Drug Abuse policy and how it’s effecting current drug suspensions; and the sad, premature end to the life of one of the greatest comedians in the history of the world, Robin Williams… Sure, it’s a bit of a downer, but on the bright side it includes what this humble podcaster would say is the greatest five minutes of sports-related humor ever created — and it’s reasonably short!!!

Episode XLVIII: Hip Hop Fucking Appetizer

In Episode XLVIII, Kolsky and Bonta get sidetracked with a discussion of hip hop — specifically the greatest individual rappers of all time — before the podcast can really even begin, but when it does they cover the ESPY’s and talk about Ray Rice receiving a minor punishment for a major offense… As far as we know, this podcast can’t tell you where Tupac is hiding, or whether he and Elvis get along — but hey, we haven’t yet tried playing it backwards!!

Episode XLII: March Fucking Madness

In Episode XLII, Kolsky and Hopkins have some serious Revising & Improving to do — which of course leads to a reprise of Van People talk — and then discuss the arrest and upcoming punishment of Colts’ owner Jim Irsay, the cock-y catfish crisis of Paul George (and assorted other dick-pic issues) and of COURSE a bit of March Madness… Is your bracket busted??? DON’T WORRY — you can still win the Fucking Sports round-by-round keep-watching-the-tournament-and-upping-our-ratings Challenge if you… Aww, who are we kidding, you’re fucked.

Episode XLI: Fucking Van People With A Fucking Lean-To

In Episode XLI, Kolsky and Hopkins discuss some serious social issues as they pertain to the world of the National Football League — handling mental health and racial epithets with all the care and precision you’ve come to expect — before digressing wildly into the pitfalls of living the middle-school thug life and the after-school van life… Come inside, get comfortable and let us cook you some chicken curry — but first, you have to accept the Four Agrements!!!

Episode XXXVIII: On The Fucking Road Again

In Episode XXXVIII, Kolsky and Hopkins use the magic of radio to record a(nother) podcast while Kolsky drives up Highway 5 from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Naturally there are some sound issues, but for the most part it’s just an engaging conversation about Michael Sam’s announcement, homosexuality in sports (complete with a relevant interview of expert Kevin Lynch), and a bit more football talk surrounding some college rule changes and the disgrace that is Richie Incognito… There is no celebration of Presidents’ Day, despite the recording happening on February 17th — Kolsky and Hopkins will be brought up on charges in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee within weeks!

Enjoy!

Episode XXXVII: Tough Fucking Issues

In Episode XXXVII, Kolsky and Hopkins attempt to handle some serious topics with the respect and consideration that they so rightfully deserve. Beginning with Richard Sherman and continuing into the story of Dr. V’s Magical Putter, the intent is to have a thought-provoking (and hopefully well-considered, if not inoffensive) discussion of some of the more hot-button social issues in the sports world. Of course, there’s a little bit of time reserved at the end for some multi-species animal-related silliness… Quick pro-tip — a dog is a man’s best friend, but a dog’s best friend? That’s a horse!

Episode XXXVI: Richard Sherman – Fucking Capitalist

In Episode XXXVI, Kolsky and Hopkins discuss the ins and outs of goat transportation, learning from the mistakes of others, Richard Sherman’s behavior and its various implications and some Yankee Stadium scoreboard SNAFUs that literally beat the band… This podcast is the GREATEST podcast in the entire category of sports/comedy podcasts recorded in rented Berkeley homes — so when you compare us to SOME SORRY PODCASTS LIKE THAT, THAT’S THE RESULT YOU’RE GONNA GET!!!! DON’T EVER TALK ABOUT OUR PODCAST!!!! … … … [Actually for real though, tell a friend.]
