A podcast about EVERYTHING... but mostly the stuff we like. Two friends talking about everything and anything that they’re interested in a that particular moment. From science fiction to sports, movies to music, books to Battlestar Galactica... we try to cover it all in our own, special, idiotic way.

This past weekend, WWE partied like it was 1985. Retro graphics, retro referee attire, retro ring ropes, appearances from Hall Of Famers who… were probably within driving distance and not obligated to a signing event somewhere… hell, they even pried Jesse Ventura out of the Baja to heel it up on commentary. It might not have been a true PLE, but Triple H and company pimped this sucker like it was, so we’re gonna review it!
Also, we talk about some Battlestar Galactica, wrestling betrayals, Star Trek, and our fake football teams in this episode's Week In Geek!

It’s that time again folks… The trees have been tinseled, the halls have been decked, and chances are, if your family is coming over at some point in the next couple of weeks, it won’t be the only thing that’s getting decked. Or drunk. At any rate, it’s Christmas time! And what better way for us to add a little idiotic joy to the season than by talking about our favorite holiday tunes.
Also, we talk about some of the happenings on Monday Night RAW and our fake football teams in this episode's Week In Geek!

Survivor Series 2024 is in the books and now it’s time for the post-mortem. What did we think of the matches? How will this affect storylines going forward? Did Triple H take a backstage photo with somebody and point at them?

Also, we go over the Survivor Series fallout on RAW and our fake football teams in this episode's Week In Geek!

The one constant through the years, Ray, has been baseball… or, in our case, idiocy and a complete inability to hold to a schedule. Either way, we’re following up our previous episode (which was delayed due to personal schedules and various tomfoolery) with this episode (which was also delayed due to scheduling snafus and other assorted highjinks) because what better way to finish up the baseball season (a few weeks too late) than by going through our favorite movies?!
Also, we talk fake football teams, the Tyson/Paul "fight", Andor season 2, MCU happenings, and more in this episode's Week In Geek!

As some of you long-time listeners might know, this podcast was born (some would say inflicted but those negative nellies can go suck an egg) into this world tangentially related to New England sports teams. Rather than only calling each other after championships, we decided to start this podcast as a more effective means of staying in touch. Which, considering the state of the New England sports scene these days, that was probably a good idea. In this episode, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of our more epic post-championship phone calls, the 2004 Boston Red Sox.
Also, we talk fake football teams, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Skeleton Crew, and more in this episode's Week In Geek!

After a 20 year hiatus, WWE decided it was about time to resurrect the Bad Blood pay per view, just with one less D because… you know… shrinkflation. It was a fairly stacked card featuring Hell In A Cell returning home to the event that spawned the dastardly contraption meant to settle all family business. So, would Trips and Company continue their run of well-received PLEs or would this one fall on its face? We adjudicate the event in this, episode 180 – ‘Cause Now We Got Bad Blood!
Also, in we talk Star Wars, Scarlet Witch, The Acolyte, fake football, and more in this episode's Week In Geek!
