The lack of sports in this cruel world has forced us to talk about the very under-discussed topic of “music” (0:02:30). Acknowledging that John Cena is the best rapper in New England history (0:18:25). Can we interest you in some spaghetti sugar and ranch? (0:40:50). A surprisingly honest conversation about whether or not college is a scam (0:52:00). Don’t care for deep conversations? Skip ahead to our ground-breaking fast food analysis to end the night (1:21:00).
We start Episode 3 with the inaugural DTAH Fantasy Football draft... Ethan makes a controversial selection 1st overall and we also forget to narrate most of it (0:00:30). One of us drafted the Titans’ defense before Deshaun Watson, Calvin Ridley, Michael Thomas or Antonio Gibson (0:10:00). The very same person drafted the Pittsburgh Steelers defense 12 rounds later (0:30:27). We get feisty about Boston sports venue rankings and whether or not hockey is trash (0:58:45) Wrapping up with talking about dead malls because that’s cool in a creepy way, alright (1:20:35).
The only Chiefs-Bucs prediction we got even close to correct was that the recap episode wouldn’t post until a week later (0:00:20). Finally some coherent football analysis? (0:03:35) Watching a Brady championship as a jaded Patriots’ fan (0:10:55), becoming the first podcast to discuss Brady v Belichick (0:22:38), mixed reactions to the halftime show (0:30:13), best and worst of SuperBowl commercials (0:36:25), & wrapping up with non-cancellable national anthem takes (0:41:45).
The boys start Episode 2 by illegally talking about S*perBowl copyright infringement (0:02:15). We establish our footing as the premiere podcast in naming Washington DC sports teams poorly (0:12:45), Carson Wentz trades and NFL talk (0:18:35). Discussing two equally prestigious types of athletes, Olympic AND intramural (0:27:55), reminiscing on halftime shows of years past (0:37:55), horribly incorrect predictions for Mahomes v Brady (0:53:50). Finally, the beer catches up to us & our sports takes become.... spicy? Ill informed? You decide! (1:14:30) BONUS: a dynasty start-up draft episode with James coming soon? (1:40:53)
The guys kickoff the inaugural #BiteThyThumb podcast with a couple adult beverages and a couple #thoughts... okay, it’s several thoughts at the very least. We start the show by reacting to the Jared Goff trade & how much stinking he’d previously done before talking NFL (0:01:11). We move on to tackling the biggest questions facing our nation, including $DOGE and other stonks (0:32:15), Fantasy Football (0:40:45), NBA talk & the travesty that was the OKC Hornets (1:04:11), naming the past 20 years of World Series winners for absolutely no reason (1:17:56), where Machine Gun Kelly ranks among greatest guitarists of all time (1:34:34), and wrap up with everyone’s favorite: 3 white guys discussing rap music. Well, to be fair, James is half Colombian. (1:37:20)
