    Ep. 388 Tyrod Taylor Reaction, Jonathan Gannon’s Defense & Josh’s Kentucky Derby Recap
    May 6 2026
    Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio and Will Sommers react to the Packers signing veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor and what the move says about Green Bay’s backup quarterback plan behind Jordan Love. They debate how much Taylor has left, whether Desmond Ridder was ever a real option, and why the position has become more important in recent seasons. The guys also discuss Jonathan Gannon’s first comments as defensive coordinator, the ceiling and floor for the Packers defense, and Bobby Babich’s memorable introduction to Green Bay media. The show wraps with One Word Wednesday, Timothée Chalamet Knicks skepticism, Bryson DeChambeau’s PGA Tour future, and Josh recapping his long, chaotic, and profitable trip to the Kentucky Derby.

  • Ep. 387 Packers Add Tyrod Taylor + Gutey's Urgency Shift

    Ep. 387 Packers Add Tyrod Taylor + Gutey's Urgency Shift
    May 4 2026
    Alex Strouf and Will Sommers open Monday’s Mr. Irrelevant with the sudden shutdown of Spirit Airlines and a surprisingly Packers-adjacent effort to bring it back. They break down the crowdsourced “Let’s Buy Spirit Air” campaign, which cites the Green Bay Packers’ community ownership model as inspiration, while questioning whether pledges, profit-sharing, and billions in debt make the plan realistic. The show then pivots to breaking Packers news as Green Bay signs veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor and releases Desmond Ridder. Strouf explains why the move matters more than a typical backup quarterback signing, especially after Jordan Love has missed time in recent seasons and Malik Willis proved how valuable QB2 can be. They close the hour by examining Brian Gutekunst’s evolving roster-building philosophy. From adding older veterans like Javon Hargrave, Zaire Franklin, and now Taylor, to drafting for immediate need, the conversation centers on whether Green Bay’s front office is finally matching its “championship urgency” talk with action.

  • Ep. 386 Lukas Van Ness, Brandon Woodruff's "Dead Arm", Chicken Wing Conspiracy and Kentucky Derby Picks

    Ep. 386 Lukas Van Ness, Brandon Woodruff's "Dead Arm", Chicken Wing Conspiracy and Kentucky Derby Picks
    May 1 2026
    Friday’s edition of Mr. Irrelevant gets a little weird in the best way. With Joshy DiMaggio out, Alex Strouf and Will Sommers welcome WTMJ’s Mike Spaulding to the show after he recently told them, in so many words, that they stink. From there, the guys dive into the Packers picking up Lukas Van Ness’ fifth-year option, what Green Bay’s edge room really looks like, and why the pressure is officially on for a Super Bowl-or-bust 2026 season. They also get into Chase Claypool’s surprise Packers tryout, Brandon Woodruff’s concerning “dead arm” comments, Sal Frelick discourse, and an all-time detour into whether Orioles broadcaster Jim Palmer is lying about never eating a chicken wing before age 80. Plus, Kentucky Derby picks to close the week.

  • Ep. 385 Packers WR Philosophy Shift, NCAA Tournament Expansion & Sal Frelick Debate (Again)

    Ep. 385 Packers WR Philosophy Shift, NCAA Tournament Expansion & Sal Frelick Debate (Again)
    Apr 29 2026
    Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers break down what feels like a major shift in the Packers’ offensive philosophy, especially at wide receiver. The guys discuss why Green Bay seems to be moving away from the “WR1 by committee” idea, what that says about Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst, and why defined roles for Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft could finally unlock the offense in 2026. They also debate whether LaFleur and Gutekunst are truly aligned for the first time in years, and what that means for the Packers’ Super Bowl window. Later, the show pivots to college basketball as Alex sounds off on the NCAA Tournament expanding to 76 teams, arguing it waters down March Madness and hurts the exclusivity that made the event special. The crew also hits One Word Wednesday with reactions to a viral flag football celebration, a Reds ABS challenge that won fans free pizza, a bizarre but life-saving Younghoe Koo missed field goal story, and fans bringing spaghetti into a Brewers game. To close, Alex demands an apology for Sal Frelick after another productive night at the plate, while Josh refuses to budge in the ongoing Sal debate.

    Ep. 383 Who Will Green Bay Take at Pick 52? Brian Gutekunst Strategy, Bucks Hire Taylor Jenkins & Sal Frelick Debate
    Apr 24 2026
    On this Friday edition of Mr. Irrelevant, Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers break down everything Packers fans need to know before night two of the 2026 NFL Draft. With Green Bay holding pick 52, the crew previews the biggest positions of need, debates whether Brian Gutekunst will stay put or trade up or down, and looks at the most likely targets at cornerback, defensive line, offensive line, running back, and quarterback. They also react to the biggest surprises from round one, including Ty Simpson, Arvell Reese, and the early run on certain positions, while discussing what the board now looks like for the Packers. The guys spend plenty of time on Green Bay’s draft strategy, whether the Packers can find an immediate-impact player without a first-round pick, and how much pressure is on Gutekunst to nail these selections. They also revisit lingering roster questions, including the future of Lukas Van Ness, the cornerback room, and whether Green Bay should add another quarterback behind Jordan Love. Beyond the draft, the show touches on the Milwaukee Bucks hiring Taylor Jenkins as head coach, Drake wearing Packers gear, and the ongoing Sal Frelick debate as Alex continues to defend the “summer of Sal” while the other guys remain unconvinced. There’s also plenty of the usual chaos, including a detour into bidets, old-school Moby Dick rap memories, and classic Mr. Irrelevant nonsense.

  • Ep. 382 Packers Draft Strategy, Brian Gutekunst Press Conference, Lukas Van Ness Decision & Sal's Hot Streak

    Ep. 382 Packers Draft Strategy, Brian Gutekunst Press Conference, Lukas Van Ness Decision & Sal's Hot Streak
    Apr 22 2026
    On this episode of Mr. Irrelevant, Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio, and Will Sommers break down everything surrounding the Green Bay Packers just one day before the NFL Draft begins in Pittsburgh. The crew reacts to Brian Gutekunst’s latest pre-draft press conference, including what his comments revealed about Green Bay’s plans despite not holding a first-round pick. They discuss whether the Packers are more likely to trade up, trade back, or stockpile even more selections, and what that could mean for the roster moving forward. The conversation also dives into the Packers’ biggest needs entering draft weekend, with a heavy focus on cornerback, defensive tackle, backup quarterback, and offensive line depth. The guys debate how urgent the need at quarterback really is behind Jordan Love, whether Desmond Ridder is enough insurance, and if Green Bay should spend a mid-round pick on a developmental backup. They also unpack Gutekunst’s awkward comments on Lukas Van Ness, why the former first-round pick is entering a make-or-break season, and what it says about Green Bay’s recent draft philosophy. Later, the show shifts to the Packers’ offensive line outlook after Gutekunst voiced confidence in the current group, even while raising more questions than answers. The crew also talks through what the Packers may really think about their current depth, whether the front office is signaling trust or just standard GM speak, and why offensive line could still be one of the team’s biggest priorities in the draft. Beyond the NFL Draft, the episode also touches on the Brewers’ big win over Detroit, a four-game hitting streak from Sal Frelick, and the ongoing debate over whether the “Summer of Sal” is back on. There’s also the usual mix of sidebars, jokes, and chaos, including telemarketer scams, Drake in Packers gear, and another round of One Word Wednesday.
