Brendon and Ronnie talk about the goings-on of the English Premier League, the crazy Wild Card weekend for the NFL, and spend some time in a rabbit hole for the F1 racing flags. Along the way, the fellas agree that legacy hires have some epic misses, make picks as they read through the World Cup draw, and debate if the Yankees will make a managing change soon. Brendon is looking to get back to his home disc golf course, reveals how many pounds Manchester United has paid former managers in dead money, and continues to lament the way the NFL Playoffs are seeded. Ronnie forgets this isn't a podcast for The Office for a moment, mixes up Hal and Hank Steinbrenner, and thinks this is the best season for the Bills to seize a championship.

Brendon and Ronnie are putting a focus on football as both college and pros start wrapping up seasons. Along the way, the fellas discover that college bowl games don't really die, think math of the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs is embarrassing, and drop a handful of deep cut books written by African American authors. Brendon has many mayonnaise-based puns, sneaks in some Sumo Wrestling chat, and tells us about how his son accidentally made a Dad joke. Ronnie has a knack for making up real-sounding bowl games, already has ideas for John Harbaugh's next job, and sparks what might be one of the longest and nerdiest tangents to date.

Brendon and Ronnie are bringing back one of their first annual traditions -- making bold predictions for the new year and picking the champions for everything from the Stanley Cup to Formula-1 to the World Cup. Along the way, the fellas wonder if a superteam is brewing in the WNBA, try to figure out the name of an unannounced NBA team in Las Vegas, and each pick the Dodgers to win the World Series (for very different reasons). Brendon is looking ahead to the 2026 NFL Season, dying to make more Winter Olympic predictions, and sees big things happening in Sumo Wrestling. Ronnie jumps off the deep end when talking about the Super Bowl, believes the NBA will revive a "super" team in Seattle, and thinks the Stanley Cup will be decided in an early round of the playoffs.

Brendon and Ronnie are simply having a Kozibear Christmas time... with the return of the esteemed Alex Kozina, aka Kozibear! The three talk about their personal Christmas season traditions and find some time to answer a couple of Kozibear's famous questions. Along the way, Alex recalls an amazing story about Steve Wozniak, tells us all about the IKEA Christmas buffet called Julbord, and likes the movie Elf but thinks his family likes it too much. Brendon makes Depression Era dishes for the season, goes caroling with his mother, and is locked in a rubber snake prank war with his son. Ronnie does a modern Japanese tradition for his Christmas dinner, still loves Christmas week in L.A., and once drank the water in Mexico...

Brendon and Ronnie return to the squared circles they love so much, and talk a lot about sumo wrestling and the upcoming Survivor Series.
