3M ago32:18

32:18

Jamie and Matt get together ostensibly for an emergency podcast discussing the Commanders' trade for Deebo Samuel, but it quickly degenerates into a podcast debating whether or not the trade for Deebo Samuel is the kind of thing that warrants an emergency pod.

1:04:24

Well, that was different.

"Power" Ranking the "Top" 35 Washington Quarterbacks Since 1993 1:13:16

9M ago1:13:16

1:13:16

Congratulations to Jayden Daniels for being named the starting quarterback for your 2024 Washington Commanders! Assuming he's not hit by a meteor in the next week or two, he will be the team's 36th starting QB since 1993, and simply by virtue of being able to walk and chew gum at the same time, he is probably already among the ten best of those pla…

The Commanders In Earnest 45:14

1+ y ago45:14

45:14

By actual, honest-to-god request, Jamie and Matt are back to talk about the Washington football team formerly known as the Washington Football Team. There's a lot of chatter in this one about the actual team and what it means to have Dan Snyder gone and so on, but the highlight is definitely Matt having a brainfart that makes him look catastrophica…

Viral Novelty Sports Media Apparel (and Commanders) Chat 35:09

2+ y ago35:09

35:09

Jamie and Matt talk about the viral big hat, the viral Sean Taylor mannequin, the less-than-viral Commanders win over the Falcons, and the usual assortment of other stuff. It's a much more fun episode than I'm making it sound. I'm sorry.

Moxie! 42:02

2+ y ago42:02

Jamie and Matt talk about Taylor Heinicke's moxie at exhaustive length. Truly, you have never heard the word "moxie" used so many times in a non-ironic (or at least semi-non-ironic) way.

Extended Griping About Scott Turner 32:56

2+ y ago32:56

32:56

With the news we've all been waiting for hovering out there, Matt and Jamie reconvene despite promising not to, and then the conversation mainly consists of Matt complaining about Scott Turner. It'll probably be really good if you like that sort of thing.

Mid-Season Check-In, AKA We Are Unable To Keep A Weekly Schedule 51:14

2+ y ago51:14

51:14

Jamie and Matt use the last-second win over the hapless Colts as a springboard for catching up on the hapless Commanders' season so far. This time around, Jamie is the bright side and Matt is hammering one frustrated point repeatedly. Around 36:50 or so, talk turns to House Of The Dragon, Andor, Werewolf By Night, and dadrock concerts. No spoilers …

The Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022 TV Series) of Football Games 46:13

2+ y ago46:13

46:13

Jamie and Matt start off by discussing the Commanders' loss to the Lions for awhile--the positive signs, the causes for concern, the abject lack of defense--and wind up talking for a surprisingly long time about a traditional North Carolina pig pickin. In the end, there's some brief conversation about the upcoming Andor series, culminating in an ex…

Building The 'Derwagon 39:01

2+ y ago39:01

39:01

Jamie and Matt are a little punchy from seeing a Washington football team look alive and playmaker-y on offense (and also totally devoid of linebackers on defense). There's some light spoiler-free House of the Dragon discussion in the middle but mostly it's all football. This might be the high point of the season, so enjoy it while it's here.…

The Most 7-10 Organization In Human History 55:11

2+ y ago55:11

55:11

By popular demand (only eight of you asked us to please not do this!), Jamie and Matt return to talk about the Washington Commanders heading into Week 1 of the 2022 season. Is there ANYTHING to be hopeful about? Can the most 7-10 organization in the world manage to exceed that win total? One of us thinks so! Also, toward the end of the episode we d…

Anything Happen In The Last Four Months? 57:40

3y ago57:40

57:40

Jamie and Matt try to catch up on four months that included a name change, a new quarterback, multiple congressional investigations, a pre-draft process, a draft, post-draft evaluations, 40 hours of Marvel content, and six to ten top-notch TV/streaming programs. Mainly they talk about the draft and the team name before trying to do an overview of t…

Locker Clean-Out Day 2022 51:03

3+ y ago51:03

51:03

This episode actually has nothing to do with the actual locker clean-out day, so if anything interesting came out of the exit interviews don't expect to hear about it here. The title is more of a metaphor, as Jamie and Matt discuss the last few games of the season, their hope for the team going forward (minimal!); their thoughts on the new name, wh…

Hindsight Is Justin Herbert and Micah Parsons 47:13

3+ y ago47:13

47:13

In their second episode since shedding the canned intro music, Jamie and Matt discuss the WFT's debacle of a loss against Dallas, a game they lost by seven and never led and probably should've lost by 40. They touch on what went wrong (everything), what comes next (nothing good, probably), and spend several agonizing minutes talking about how much …

A Karmic Do-Over For Kirk Cousins? 53:34

3+ y ago53:34

53:34

Jamie and Matt grapple with a reality where WFT has won their fourth straight game, the playoffs are entirely in the conversation, and the remaining five games are all against NFC East opponents. It is a weird reality. They also have a spoiler-free discussion about the podcast The Rumor and the Disney+ documentary The Beatles: Get Back. It's a very…

Does Any Of This Actually Matter? 24:06

3+ y ago24:06

24:06

Jamie and Matt try to determine if the WFT's win against Tampa Bay actually matters, and then gets very engrossed in messing with the NYT Playoff Scenario Predictor machine to figure out the math of it all. They talk about Chase Young, about kickers and conspiracy theories, and also about Peloton and the Washington Wizards, if you like that sort of…

You deserve better than listening to a podcast about this team. Go practice some radical self-care instead.

Space Madness-Level Ashburn Syndrome 36:26

3+ y ago36:26

36:26

Jamie and Matt react to the WFT's latest loss and go on to explore the intricacies of Ashburn Syndrome (TM the NBC Sports Washington WFT podcast). That part is pretty grim! Then they discuss a variety of pop culture stuff (without any spoilers), including Squid Game, Dune (2021), the Ringer Fantasy Football Podcast, and the new War On Drugs record.…

1
A Tribute In Front Of The Portajohns 33:54

3+ y ago33:54

33:54

Jamie and Matt focus much more on the Sean Taylor tribute than on the game against the Chiefs, for obvious reasons. This includes some reminiscing about the week of Taylor's death, some musing on the nature of fandom, and some general existential angst. So pretty much the usual for Week 6 of a Washington NFL season.…

🟢 The Opposite Of An Emergency Pod - WFT Loses To The Saints 🟢 29:41

3+ y ago29:41

29:41

Jamie and Matt battle some audio issues and some early-onset crushing ennui to TRY to discuss WFT's Week 5 loss to the Saints. They succeed, at least in the most technical sense of "There is a podcast posted," but whatever answers this team needs to find, they're gonna have to come from somewhere other than this pod.…

1
Babe Laufenberg Appreciation Society 52:42

3+ y ago52:42

52:42

Jamie and Matt get caught up on two wildly disparate weeks of WFT football. Much of the conversation focuses on the vaguely confusing concept that the offense is "fun" and maybe even "good," which neither of us quite knows how to handle. From there, it's a bit of a ramble across topics including the bad loss to Buffalo, the crazy win over Atlanta, …

The Legends Grows (Except Not On Defense, Which Seems Like A Problem) 40:54

3+ y ago40:54

40:54

Jamie and Matt try to discuss a truly weird football game, and determine if they leave the WFT's win feeling good (Heinicke! Offensive signs of life!) or not-so-good (Because, really, the Giants should've won that game eight separate times and the WFT defense looks DREADFUL). They don't discuss anything else this week, because the game is more than…

1
Does WFT Understand The Assignment? 45:59

3+ y ago45:59

45:59

Jamie and Matt discuss (YET ANOTHER) disappointing Week 1 loss. They look at (AGAIN) an underperforming defense. They consider (FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME) what the loss of the starting QB means. Matt is dreary (FOR A CHANGE). Then they talk about some movies, some streaming, and the sudden ubiquity of the phrase "understood the assignment". It's a rea…

2021 Preseason Review and Season Preview 48:56

3+ y ago48:56

48:56

Jamie and Matt look back at the preseason, which Jamie has largely been ignoring, and forward to the regular season, which Jamie is pretty optimistic about despite (or maybe because of??!?) ignoring the preseason.

Drafting For Steak, Missing The Sizzle 54:01

4y ago54:01

54:01

Jamie and Matt discuss how everyone's military football dad Ron Rivera made out in this draft. Turns out that while high-character, athletically-gifted football players with positional flexibility may pay off in-season, they don't make for the most exciting draft classes to discuss. Nevertheless, discuss we do. Also mentioned (briefly, toward the e…

Is Ryan Fitzpatrick The Mirror Universe Alex Smith? 23:48

4y ago23:48

23:48

Jamie and Matt get together for quick pod in response to the Washington Football Team signing a QB. It's Fitzmagic Time, and everyone is perhaps more excited than a 38 year old journeyman QB really warrants, so those feelings get hashed out. Only brief digressions at the end, as Matt recommends a Taylor Swift deep-dive podcast, and Jamie contemplat…

1
Better Than A Super Bowl? 49:52

4y ago49:52

49:52

Jamie and Matt discuss a bunch of stuff, including: Alex Smith's departure from the WFT and what legacy, if any, he leaves behind The reported contents of Beth Wilkinson's report on Daniel Snyder and the WFT The surging Wizards The question of boring basketball in the DMV The consistent Caps The outlook for the Nats WandaVision finale, including SP…

4+ y ago53:26

53:26

Matt and Jamie run through a whollllllllllllllllllllllllle long list of potential QBs for the 2021 Washington Football Team. There's also a discussion of odd punctuation, and at the end a brief but EXTREMELY SPOILERY discussion of Disney+'s WandaVision.

The Ballad of Taylor Heinicke 43:39

4+ y ago43:39

43:39

Jamie and Matt look back on a truly entertaining end to a truly bizarre football season, then forward to what will probably be just another typical football offseason. If you listen for the non-WFT stuff, this is going to be a pretty disappointing pod (unless you're very excited about the Nationals' hot stove, in which case skip forward to the last…

WFT On Pace To Be NFC East Champs Every Year Of Their Existence 57:59

4+ y ago57:59

57:59

Jamie and Matt discuss the WFT win, the Eagles tank, the matchup against Tampa, the outlook for the future, and plenty of other football stuff. Then it's a little Wiz, a little Bean Dad, and a very little pre-WandaVision planning. But mostly discussion of the NFC East champion Washington Football Team. Man, that sounds weird.…

Dead Eyes of the Washington Football Team 55:29

4+ y ago55:29

55:29

Jamie and Matt discuss Dwayne Haskins's latest (final????) terrible performance and the WFT's failure to clinch a playoff spot. Then they discuss the Wizards' 0-3 start (30:15) and the question of if Scott Brooks is actually a good coach. Finally, they discuss Connor Ratliff's excellent Dead Eyes podcast (41:45) and trade stories of "dead eyes" mom…

Haskins Is Not The Answer, plus Mandalorian Finale 55:17

4+ y ago55:17

55:17

Jamie and Matt discuss the Washington Football Team's loss to the football team from Washington. They try to figure out if there was any long-term positive to take away from Dwayne Haskins' performance, go over playoff scenarios, and somehow get bogged down in the Kirk Cousins conversation AGAIN. Then they talk about the Mandalorian season finale (…

4+ y ago53:30

53:30

Jamie and Matt continue to wrestle with the possibility that the WFT are actually .... good? And likeable? And maybe almost kinda playoff-bound? Then they discuss how much Mandalorian is too much Mandalorian, Marvel's upcoming Disney+ shows, and each recommend a podcast for some reason. Good times all around, really.…

Good Week For Decrepit Old People Making a Comeback 55:46

Jamie and Matt celebrate a week of creaky old guys riding to the rescue, including Alex Smith and the WFT toppling the undefeated Steelers, Russell Westbrook coming to the Wiz (33:00), and [MANDALORIAN SPOILERS] yet another fan-favorite from other Star Wars stories making a long-rumored return (44:05). We're continuing to try to improve the audio, …

Post-Thanksgiving WFT Expectations, Christmas Music, and Ahsoka Tano 49:36

4+ y ago49:36

49:36

Jamie and Matt discuss the WFT's recent successes and question whether it is sustainable or just a mirage with victories over terrible teams. (Matt is irrationally optimistic; Jamie wisely skeptical.) Then, does introducing a beloved extended universe character into The Mandalorian (31:30) diminish Jamie's enjoyment of the show? Finally, they talk …

WTF, WFT, plus Mandalorian and more 45:33

4+ y ago45:33

45:33

Jamie and Matt discuss the Washington Football Team's comeback/collapse against Detroit and try to resuscitate their interest in this franchise. Then they discuss the Mandalorian (spoilers through Season 2, Episode 3), the Queen's Gambit, and a bunch of other stuff. It is immediately clear what keeps them more entertained these days.…

Why Was Dwayne Haskins Benched? 22:25

4+ y ago22:25

22:25

It's a brief 🚨emergency🚨 pod, in which Jamie and Matt do not answer the episode's eponymous question, but they do ask it, over and over again, and speculate wildly as they fumble for possible reasons. The audio is pretty clean in this one, although there's a chunk that got lost in the middle that I've covered with a gimmicky sound effect.…

Week 2, 2020 - Enthusiasm Fades Quickly 25:34

4+ y ago25:34

25:34

Jamie and Matt react to a muted Washington loss with muted enthusiasm. They also discuss the difficulty of adjusting to the new non-name, and argue about whether the team would've been better off signing Cam Newton. It's a low-key episode, but it's also a test run of a new recording approach that will hopefully avoid the stupid overlapping audio is…
