Recovering from Ronn’s holiday eggnog party, the boys discuss NFL, the difference between hookers and call girls, Lilith Fair, and dubious NHL broadcasting. Ronn dreams of mall-walking and knows a lot of Paula Abdul songs. Joe adjusts to life after Wentz and avoids going to Ronn’s slumber party. No animals were harmed in the making of this podcast.

Switching Teams: A Gay Dude and a Straight Dude Talk Sports

ST41: Shetland Shingles

Ronn gets up early and is not a Cher kind of gay. Joe yells “It’s a sneak”and enjoys a few minutes of his Eagles game blissfully unaware of how the whole season is about to come apart. Also, is Roger Goodell a good commissioner; how not to celebrate the 4th of July; and we chat NFL, MLB, boxing, sports tattoos, the NBA, award shows, and why your nuts can’t get a concussion. Ronn plays “Bowl Game, Bowling Alley, or Bowl from Crate & Barrel”.

ST40: Swore Swallowers

Eli Manning gets benched; Ronn has a better way to handle boxing weigh-ins, and Joe has a new appreciation for NFL schedules. The boys find a new meaning to being #2 on the depth chart. Ronn tests Joe’s World Cup draw knowledge, and plays a game of “Football Player or Male Model?’

Ronn drives a Jaguar and celebrates the Giants' (2-8) inevitable Super Bowl Championship. The boys discover a new way to cover the spread, and Ronn drives a Jaguar. Tyrod Taylor gets un-benched, Lisa Loeb doesn't know what a Long Island Iced Tea is, Ronn drives a Jaguar, Tiny Tim buys a shotgun, and Joe plays a hyphenated game of "Name or No-Name".

ST32: Racootin' (with Josef Anolin)

The NFL season is in full swing and the boys' teams are beginning to go in different directions. They have some suggestions for games in London, and ideas to improve attendance at Chargers games. They also talk soccer, Emeril, baseball, "Odeckham", the importance of a well-balanced meal, and the boys pretend to be cranky old baseball managers.

ST31: Sexy Fruit Ninja

Ronn and Joe’s football teams meet in a classic battle of rookie kicker vs man pretending to be a dog. Ronn sees something he’s never seen before on an NFL sideline, which inspires a good marketing idea for the NFL. The boys also play a game of "Melo or Mellow".
