Episodes

Episode 803: Prunes
Only Simon and Mikal show up for the episode and it's unclear if they cover Sports News or not. They do discuss prunes and O.J. Simpson. Don't bother emailing us.
-
Episode 802: Yo La Grayson Allen
After a brief, unnecessary discussion of Jordan Peterson, we offer the definitive word on Mikal and Simon's trip to the Spurs/Clippers game, what happened to Joel Embiid, why Markelle Fultz is a tragic hero, the Connor McGregor UFC 223 thing, and Kevin Shiflett, America's premier chin balancer.…

Episode 801 - Tom Brady Interview brought to you by www.send-a-message-to-a-pager.net and Same Adams Old Patriotism Ale
The first episode of 2018 in which all four of the MRFS guys manage to show up. And they really regret it. After a few months sabbatical, the sports groove is gone. Too bad since Simon managed to set up an interview with Tom Brady, who talks way too much about Giselle and some other…

Episode 755: Super Bowl Preview
At America's behest, we preview the big game in all its glory. We enumerate all the major story lines, including why the Eagles are so fun and why the Patriots are the absolute worst.

Episode 755: He Should Voicemail Get Open
We're back with another hour of the most true sports facts permissible by law, including some thoroughly on-brand stories: Blake Griffin's injury at the hands of JaVale McGee, the Brown's 0-16 parade, the Chiefs second half debacle, and Jon Gruden's catch phrases. PLUS: why do voice's crack, Joel...
-
Episode 754: Touching Knees
Simon is out this week getting his braces fixed. As a result, we offer a powerful reading of Kobe Bryant's epistolary masterwork "Dear Basketball," which raises meaningful questions about contemporary poetry, split-screens, socks, kenpark, and, eventually, Jose Canseco. Then Dave reports on the...
-
Episode 753: Raise the Daryl Takahasi Clock Cat
We recorded this episode MERE MINUTES after God smote the knee of Carson Wentz, and as result, Mike's emotional state is so compromised that his weird vibe settled on the whole crew, resulting in our most PROBLEMATIC and DEPRESSING episode ever. Simon regales us with his story about the clock...
-
Episode 752: Phil From Hong Kong
Our mysterious fan from Hong Kong emerges with a guest spot on today's episode and teaches us about Chinese sports, Canadian sports, Badminton, the Grey Cup, and watching the NFL in China. To our delight, he surprises us with his sports knowledge, shares some childhood details, and talks about...

Episode 751: Team of Virgins
Another week, another epic episode of sports news delivered by the only people left who understand sports.

-
Episode 750: Mini Pizza, Arnold Palmer, Grayson Allen
The Sixers swelled and then punctured America's heart in their loss to known ISIS supporters the Golden State Warriors, but that's okay because our despair is zinger-friendly. Mikal gives a Gatorade addiction update, we talk about microphones for some reason, and then, around the halfway point,...
-
Episode 749: Her Ball, Her Choice
We return to two long-overlooked corners of the show: MIKAL'S DROPS and TOP PLAYS OF THE WEEK. We also blabber about whether the Sixers are too fun, and why Thursday Night Football is dumb, and how popular we were at our friend's wedding. Dave has a story about meeting the Islanders' chef, Simon...

Episode 746: Never Celebrate
Without rhyme or reason, we deliver unto you: a spirited roundtable of World Series talk (it'll be hot, or something); a rough sketch of the Eastern Conference's imminent rise to power, with a special focus on Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo; and more talk than is, strictly speaking,...

Episode 741: Mikal's 7-11 Snack Attack Six Pack
America asked, and Mikal delivered: we present to you his delirious new segment about new snack options at 7-11. Then we talk about some other things, but we don't remember what; we also don't remember when we recorded this, or, frankly, why. Help us help you: [email protected]...
-
Episode 740: Kung Fu Debacle
Simon's entwined in yet another web of lies in "San Antonio," but the remaining bros BRING THEIR A+ GAME and cover the Rockets sale to Tilmon Fertitta (not, as we'd hoped, Beyonce). Mike reminisces about going to church with Tshitenge Mutumbo and growing up watching Manute Bol, and then doubles...

Episode 739: DeMarco Murray's Sneakers (feat. Jess Holloway)

-
Micro Bonus 2: Rondo & Boogie Pt 1 (not featuring Rick Fox)
After lingering in pre-production for months, Dave's encouragement that Mikal write fan fiction about his two favorite b-ball bosom buddies, DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins and Rajon Rondo, became a no-brainer when the friends reunited on the New Orleans Pelicans this summer. The result is Part 1 of…

Micro Bonus 1: The Bieber Tweets (not featuring Rick Fox)

Mike and Dave are OUT OF BOUNDS this week, but the gentle sports bros fight the war of attrition by enlisting expert Allison Miller.

Episode 733: We Struggle to Continue (not featuring Rick Fox)
Mike's gone this week so I have to write the episode summary and I can't remember what we talked about. Dave's in an Icelandic hostel, Mikal's driving around his neighborhood for some reason and I'm just in my apartment, like always. We definitely talked about sumo wrestling for awhile and the...
-
Episode 732: Simon Spilled Beans in the Club
This week, we flub and glug our way through the tall grass of the week in sports, but we also get to the BARE BOTTOM of some emotional trauma: Mikal and Dave mend fences in the wake of an argument about Malcolm Gladwell, Simon explains why he scrubbed us from social media, and we cover an…
more -
Episode 731: The Grunt-O-Meter
Dave is drinking Finland's biggest Negroni, Mikal is waylaid in Costco, and Mike and Simon are more or less regular. FOR NO GOOD REASON we critique academic residencies from the right and ourselves from the left, but as is GOOD AND PURE we can only be ourselves, so we pass the time CRAPPING OUR...

Episode 730: Dreamboat on the Court, Shipwreck in the Streets
Mikal is in his car and doesn't know where he is, but he knows WHERE HE'S GOING. Simon is back in LA (!), Dave is whispering in Finland, and the MRFS gang is MORE SERIOUS THAN EVER about flying insects at Wimbleton, tennis tantrums, Chris Paul's 2015 interaction with referee Lauren Holtkamp, and...
-
Episode 729: Our Parents Never High-Fived
While Simon serves a one-week suspension, the rest of us shit talk him and eventually ENTER OUR SUSPSIONS about his identity as a Hollywood fimmaker INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD. We talk NBA free agency, which, frankly, is a bit of a snooze, but eventually we get our SEA LEGS under us and deliver the...
-
Episode 728: Mikal Foucault
After six months of SWEET ANTICIPATION, Mikal finally has cause to bring up Brook and Robin Lopez, the NBA's most famous set of twins. Mike wants to know if Mikal's friend liked his Lonzo Ball joke, Simon gets compared to Jimmy Butler and wants to know if that's praise or defamation, and we...
-
Episode 727: It Doesn't Matter, No One Notices, You Can Do Anything

-
Episode 725: Emergency Game 4 Reactions
We gather around the Skype-glow in the cold light of Saturday morning to recap Game 4 of Calves/Boringers and chat about Dwayne Wade's outfit, the Warriors' PB&J situation, LeBron James' self-pass, Steph Curry's air dump, Draymond Green's phantom technical foul, and Zaza Pachulia's general...
-
Episode 724: G-Spot as a Verb
The gang tracks down Dave, who calls in from Finland while on SPORTS ASSIGNMENT, and we get distracted for the first twenty minutes jibber-jabbering about Salibandyliiga (a.k.a. floorball) (a.k.a. we don't know what it is), curling, jai alai, eSports, and the USA Rock Paper Scissors League, the…
more -
Episode 723: Tiny Little Gravestones

Episode 722: Factory Resealed Braces

more -
Episode 720: Dildos
Listeners: this is a strange episode. Mikal, who called out sick with the barfs, is guilted into calling in after we started, but his call causes Skype to splinter into several different conversations between or among random combinations of the four of us. Somehow, Simon managed to record a̶l̶l̶...
-
Episode 719: Between the Brackets
Mike berates the NFL draft LIVE FROM PHILADELPHIA: there's a zip line, and the draftees like helping kids, and the traffic was bad. We learn the difference between the films DRAFT DAY and BACKDRAFT, shit talk Malcolm Gladwell, and then decide to talk about quarterbacks for fifteen minutes even...
-
Episode 718: Young in the Teeth
Our last episode was so replete with errors and misgivings that we spend about twenty minutes this week making amends with America and the world. Then we crack into the HOTTEST SPORTS NEWS of the week: Grayson Allen is returning for one more year of trips and giggles, Blake Griffin has Blake...
-
Episode 717: I Don't Think We Can Move On (feat. Albro Lundy)
We are joined by the suspiciously knowledgeable and charming sports expert Albro Lundy, who puts us through the paces and brings our various ineptitudes into stark relief. After exhausting our baseball knowledge talking about the Marlins' celebrity feral cat, most of the episode is Albro and Dave...
-
Episode 716: Eventually Everything Will Happen
Baby Dash is back on the scene! We have a totally gauche conversation about how much money everyone makes before moving on to the TOP SPORTS NEWS of the week, mainly: Yadier Molina or Tom Brady eats glass or gets a baseball stuck to him, or neither, or something. For some reason, Simon and Mikal...
-
Episode 715: Never Been Less Amped
Without any regard for our own emotional wellness or audience preference, in what is surely a WORLD HISTORICAL RECORD, we offer a SECOND EPISODE this week: Mike and Mikal pitch a HOOPS MOVIE to Simon, Dave and Simon square off to see who can name more sports in a minute, Simon and Mikal preview…

-
Episode 713: Streakin'
This is one of our thirteen all-time worst episodes, the lone bright spot of which is the debut of Mikal's new March Madness theme song, "Don't Drop the Ball." Later, Dave scouts the 2017 NBA draft, we meander through the week's "TOP" "PLAYS," talk about punching yet again, and lament our…

Episode 712: Four Huskies
This week on the show, the sports fellows bring their agonizing brilliance to bear on the first two rounds of MARCH MADNESS. Among all the sweet hoops riffs, they manage to MAKE ROOM FOR the all week's hottest sports junk: Mikal's fever dream about the ritualistic cutting of nets, the…
