Defeating the Curse (DTC)

The Wizards WON something... the draft lottery! Andy says make the pick... Joe says trade the pick to Utah because the Jazz are in a must trade situation. Utah might legit offer 5 first round picks to the Wiz which would be foolishness if they didn't except. Trade the pick, move down one spot, and draft anyone you like to join the core you already have! Commanders minicamp is underway and the rookies are signed and participating! Plus, did we witness the end of the "King James" era in L.A. or will he call it a career and hang 'em up? Two many show with Andy & Joe straight ahead!

The boys are locked in on Cinco de Mayo and go around the sports horn discussing the new uniforms in DC, the race that was in Miami, the unpredictable nature of the NBA playoffs (because of load management), and LP decides to go off-script to share thoughts on the JP Morgan story circulating on social media.

It's a full house! FP, Razzle, LP, and Joe revisit the NFL draft with a focus on the NFC East. Of course FP loved what the 'skins did, of course Razzle had some love for a division rival, and of course Joe went completely off-script as the agent of chaos. The boys also talked about the on-going NBA Playoffs focused mostly on the surprising eastern conference and in an all time upset, FP read something Joe shared about the EPL and is actually mildly following the relegation battles across the pond!

FP and Joe are in studio and recording a day late but wow what a show... they cover a lot of ground. Lot's happening in and around DC these days but nothing bigger right now than the NFL draft... although the Nationals are playing .500 ball consistently and that's not nothing! FP has a wild shower take and the NBA playoffs are off to a pretty interesting start!

It must be the start of summer... NBA playoffs around the corner but nobody knows what channel the play-in games are on, the boys have thoughts on the new Commanders uniforms, and Joe is dying to convince anyone that will listen that late 90's basketball was the best era of basketball. Plus, expectations for the Nationals and what will the Great One decide to do with regards to his future with the Capitals.... this was a fun show! Check it out!

The boys are yuck'n it up discussing... basically everything but also nothing. Baseball is here, basketball is on-going, and Easter is around the corner. The fast food burger wars are interesting everyone has a favorite type of steak and the show has big plans for many future spinoffs... the DTC Universe is expanding! All 'aboard the struggle bus.

FP, LP, and Joe are in the studio late (very late) at night but decided to fire up the mics anyway! The boys chop it up about Alex hitting 1000 total goals, what the Wiz are doing to prepare for next season, and take a quick look around the Commanders locker room as the first draft teaser is dropped. If you love your local DC Sports Teams... this show is for you!

The boys are into the full "OMC SWING" with a few action movies Joe has never seen and a comedy flick that FP hasn't watched in two decades... there is a surprise DNF (two actually; Andy) and a lot of discussion around the idea of "too much" violence. This is a fun episode of the Offseason Movie Club... enjoy!

FP, Andy, 20, and Joe are in studio talking about the beginning of the NFL tampering season and what the Commanders are and are not doing so far in the offseason. 20 shares thoughts on the 49ers, Andy is bullish on the Giants, FP sees nothing wrong (EVER) with Adam Peters, and Joe is just happy to be hear and reminds everyone to always thank your AI assistant... just in case. The boys also recap the first race of the F1 season and set things up for OMC 24 next week!

And again we say "NO MORE SNOW" ... Enough! The boys are in studio discussing many topics with all eyes firmly focused on the pace car, that's drifting off course. Joe has some thoughts on air travel, FP has thoughts on NFL franchise tags and free agency, and LP joins to correct the boys on various coaching staff changes around the league. Plus everybody is ready for the Wiz to improve and for Trae to suit up! Enjoy!

This was a big undertaking... turns out four movies it two movies too many for the boys. Reviews for 1962's Dr. No, 1973's Live and Let Die, 1989's License to Kill, and 1997's Tomorrow Never Dies are straight ahead. Connery, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan... rank'em in your mind then hit play on this episode!

It's another snowy Monday and schools are cancelled (AGAIN!) but be of good cheer... the podcast rolls forward! The USA men's and women's team both win GOLD in hockey, turns out LP is really into old olympic sports highlights and FP digs the two-man luge... the boys also discuss "ethical tanking" and try to decide if anyone is actually worth the NFL franchise tag at any position. 

We aren't typing out a description to this show... we cover a ton of topics in 60 mins. Hit play and hold on. FP and Joe are in rare rare form...

Well... it happened. Sam Darnold is a Super Bowl champion! The game was terrible, the half time show was _____ and if you really think about it... well, how would you rank the whole season overall? Join us to discuss the NFL for one last time this season as we prepare for the offseason ahead! Plus the Wizards got spicy at the trade deadline and pulled off a massive haul while keeping their draft picks... also one NBA player deserves to be suspended ASAP... for a long time!

The boys are locked in on a "warm" Monday afternoon and are ready to make their SB game and prop bet predictions. Billy B was disrespected by not being an automatic "in" to the Football Hall of Fame... nobody cares about the NBA right now (thx Lebron) and the Winter Olympics begin... which apparently Andy hates.... in just a few days! Plus the fallout from OMC 22...

It is the rare the boys agree on movies ... but look outside for flying pigs because the boys agree on Mountainhead! They almost agree on Bugonia, and they almost almost agree on the Rip. If you haven't seen the films and don't want to hear spoilers PLEASE watch them first then come back and listen to this wild epsiode of the Offseason Movie Club. Bugonia is on Peacock. The Rip is on Netflix. Mountainhead is on HBO.

The boys are in studio catching up on all things NFL as the Super Bowl matchup is now set! The #Patriots will face the #Seahawks in two weeks and the initial gut feeling is ______ will win! Joe and FP had some thoughts on Matt Stafford to share, Andy is down on the Capitals and the boys reflect on Kobe's passing six years ago today.

The boys are in studio on MLK Day catching up on a great weekend of NFL football and looking forward to the final weekend for real fans; the conference championships. Last weekend was the best football on the calendar all year... everything else is for the masses. Buffalo got completely screwed and it cost their Head Coach his job, a third of the league is searching for a new HC while in DC... well maybe a little bit of nepotism... maybe? The new RFK renders look amazing but not everybody is sold on "bounce" seats and FP shared his worst take in the history of the show... yikes.

  What a wild weekend it was in the NFL... what a wild week for the Wizards.... The boys are in studio to unpack it all and discuss an alternate model to double-eliminate poor performers that make it to the postseason... and Pete from Philly returns to discuss the Eagles crash/burn! ... plus, which NFL Head Coaching position would you take? Miami? Vegas? Pitt? maybe Tennessee? Next OMC Movies are 1) Mountainhead and 2) Along Came Polly.... Join us on Patreon!   

Happy New Year! The boys are in studio recapping the final week of the NFL season and making some bold predictions as the playoffs get underway. Stevie shows up in a Trent Williams 49ers jersey but picks the Eagles to win meanwhile FP takes the Bills to win while claiming vehemently that the Jags are the best and hottest team... nothing makes sense! Meanwhile the Wizards are 6-4 in their last 10 games and the Capitals remain competitive although not winning too much right now... happy new year!

Stevie, LP, and Joe are in studio and ready to say goodbye to 2025 and hello to 2026. The boys start with a weekly discussion of what went wrong for the Commanders (in game and overall for the season) and eventually pivot into a heated back/forth on the hottest team(s) going into the final week of the season. Stevie has a serious obsession and love for Josh Allen and LP.... well, to his credit... he stayed awake and engaged for the entire show! Happy New Year to ALL!

The boys are ready for the Christmas season and discuss their personal favorites for Christmas day... "ELF" and the "Santa Clause" are both on the list plus FP made it clear that one movie was a must watch for Joe and Andy... they said F1 would convert and excite Joe to get into F1... well Joe watched F1... and the ratings are in! (Joe also got caught up on something very very niche! You gotta hear this one!)

FP and Joe are in studio and ready to recap the Commanders loss on Saturday to the Eagles and as they work their way through the full slate of NFL games one thing becomes very clear, the postseason is a toss-up. The Bears looks good, but so do the Chargers... the Bills look to be in control at times but then sputter... same with the Texans, and same with the Patriots... it's wide wide open. The boys also discuss the back to back fight nights on Friday (Netflix) featuring Jake Paul and Saturday (Rumble) featuring Andrew Tate. What a weekend! Merry Christmas to all! 

FP and Joe jump right into this straight-to-HBO movie titled Flight Risk and have some thoughts on the action, production, casting... and just about everything... this review is a bit rough.... starts at the beginning and ends with final score at 12m30seconds. (FP score this very low, Joe does too.)

FP, Andy, and Joe are in studio to cover the Commanders win over the Giants and looking forward they make a few predictions for the rest of the season. JD5 is confirmed to be "SHUT DOWN" and Joe asks, why isn't everyone else shut down too? Plus Andy has a wild NFL Top 5 and the boys discuss the two ongoing FIFA problems specific to lack of affordable tickets and the upcoming PRIDE match in Seattle between two very friendly nations (Egypt & Iran). Please check out our patreon for more content and exclusives!

FP, Andy, and Joe are running the three man weave talking about all things NFL and specifically the Commanders embarrassing loss to the Vikings. The boys discuss DQ, the front office, the league at large and settle on one team as the best of the best... spoiler, its the Rams. Additional topics include the College Football Playoffs and Notre Dame saying "no thanks" plus the F1 season comes to end and FP has some strong thoughts!

FP and Joe are running the two-man-offense recapping Thanksgiving and the full NFL schedule that was... so many good teams on the outside looking in and so many surprise teams at the top of the AFC/NFC standings! The boys also share their thoughts on the Broncos win on Sunday night and discuss whether the Commanders are deserving of the rare "moral victory" .... plus, Hard Knocks is back!  

This episode is fully loaded and ready for your pre-Thanksgiving consumption! #Commanders host the #Broncos on Sunday night but the boys are obsessing over some .500 teams that look better than their record may indicate... mainly the #Chiefs, #Cowboys, #Ravens.... some things aren't as they appear around the league for sure! Top 5 Low 5 has a few surprises sprinkled in and we ask the tough question... are you a Turkey-guy?

The #Commanders lost in Spain. DQ made some progress with the defense but the offense struggled and in the end a loss is a loss. The 'skins have a ton of work to do for the rest of this season and into the early part of the offseason to figure out what's what on the coaching staff... plus if JD5 and Terry are available do you have to bring them back? Around the league there are some teams starting to heat up and a few legacy contenders (#Ravens and #Chiefs) that are on the outside looking in but still within striking distance. One week until Thanksgiving folks... next week... pie power rankings! 

Well it happened, the Commanders were crushed by the Lions at home... the season is lost and there is no way to spin this anymore... it's over. As the team prepares to fly out to Spain for their [beatdown] showdown with the Dolphins, FP and Joe try to figure out if there is anything worth watching for... plus, there are a few teams that look to be very very strong and a few that look to be very very weak... the boys put the whole league through the eyeball-test and finally... are you ready to watch NFC East hard knocks in a few weeks? Happy Veteran's Day!

Well... the season is over. Washington lost on the field and off the field and it is time for fans to lock-in on a new hobby or weekly activity. FP, LP, and Joe revisit the Sunday loss to the #Seahawks and start to process, together, what the rest of the season for the #Commanders might look like. Tough times ahead for AP, DQ, and the entire front office staff as any post-season hopes have evaporated. Meanwhile, MLB just had an incredible month of post-season drama culminating in an enjoyable, classic, wild, awesome World Series and FP and Joe spontaneously launch into a random OMC review of the newest Netflix thriller called House of Dynamite. 

The boys are in studio on a short week discussing the #Chiefs victory over the #Commanders on Monday Night and taking a look around the league... things are wide WIDE open! The World Series is awesome and the underdog has a chance, but nobody is awake to see it... the NBA season is underway with some interesting twists including a huge off-court gambling fiasco unfolding in real-time… plus, and with Halloween just days away, the boys rate their top 5 halloween candy! 

This is a big episode for the show... the #Commanders stalled in #Dallas against the #Cowboys and the problems and injuries are adding up fast... might the season be slipping away? The Wold Series is set; #Drake v #KLamar ie BlueJays v Dodgers and the NBA Season officially begins... the boys have some bold predictions for the local team and the league at large... plus, the #Caps started their season very well! Let's Go!

The boys are salty after a rainy loss at home to ‘da Bears on MNF. One person in particular is over reacting a bit (guess who?) to JD5’s performance while a few of the guys are just upset that another winnable game was lost. The NFL is absolutely wild through 6 weeks with storylines budding all around the league. We cast our top5 and low5 lots and discuss MVP candidates as we cross past the first third of the season.

While Lebron is distracting sports fans with another "decision" the boys are in studio recapping the trip to LA, the win against the Chargers, and are making preparations for Monday Night against the Bears. JD5 looked good but Bill looked GREAT. The defense made adjustments and shutting out a team for three quarters is no small feat. The boys also look around the NFL with some surprise moves into and out of the top 5 + the NHL season is about to start... lets go CAPS! 

The boys are bummed after a (non competitive) loss in Atlanta on Sunday. The offense looked anemic and the defense looked ancient... it's over; we're cooked. Nobody wanted to see a 40/40 game end in a tie; Tyreek likely done/done and we look around the league to assess the weekly top 5 and low 5. Plus, YouTube TV might have broken a few guys this week prompting a return to hardwired 4k. 

The boys are ready to discuss all things NFL including #Commanders new signing and continued kicking woes. There are a few tough questions that fans need to consider about why the offense looked the way it did on Sunday as MM prepares for another week under center. Fantasy football target pickups for the week plus what's more impressive x2 "Colts or Bucs" edition.... and the WWE moved to ESPN with a poorly named and poorly covered PLE... but nobody cares because Cena lost and Brock isn't marketable any more... maybe. Join us!

Well... only one panelist had the 'skins losing on Thursday and oof did they look bad with the national spotlight on them. The Cowboys and Giants played a classic; the Dolphins and Raiders looked atrocious, and the league is plagued with injuries... plus, Adam Silver is the worst commissioner of any sport, ever not only calling fans "poors" but also encouraging them to "go watch highlights"... just crazy... this is a wild episode.

NFL Week 1 is in the books and the #Commanders opened the season at home with a WIN! The offense looked good; the defense looked better; the #Giants looked terrible. We go around the horn and identify the top and bottom teams in the league and it wouldn't be a new season without some over the top over-reactions to week 1! Lots of NFL talk headed your way on this one! ...also, nobody cares about the #Packers!   

It's finally here... football is back! With the NFL season schedule in just a few days the boys are in studio for one last time making bold predictions for the Commanders and for the league at large. Did the Clippers do something new or did they get caught doing something everyone does? The boys all watched Deja Vu for OMC and share their personal goals for the upcoming fall and winter season leading up to New Years in January!  

Football is so close, literally so close! The boys are on the mics discussing final roster cuts from around the league and locally the biggest news of the summer is Scary Terry has been resigned to a massive 3-year $96mil extension! Cracker Barrel continues to hate its heritage and customers and one cast member finally watched a classic film for the very first time. 

Summers end is around the corner and the boys are ready ready ready to get to fall and back to sports that matter! Join FP, Andy, and Joe as they cover a bunch of different topics including a short tribute to John Wall who officially retired from the NBA this week and why does every episode include Fast and Furious discussions? 

It is time to breakdown the #Commanders schedule and get ready for the start of the regular season which is just a few weeks out! The boys are getting back into the "swing" of things covering training camp, the latest Terry contract news and a quick OMC discussion of Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix!

The boys are in the studio for a casual discussion on a plethora of topics. This is the last week without football until February of next year... let that sink in! Will the Commanders get a deal done with TM? under 32m per year? The Cowboys have a problem on their hands + what do you remember most about Hulk?

FP and Joe miss each other and thus, the mics are turned on for this mid-summer jam session. The boys lament the heat and take some time to get caught up on life happenings and the DC sports scene. Most notably the Commanders are getting their colors back, the Wiz are poised for a postseason push, and the Nationals... ooooof!  The offline chat became the Offseason Movie Club with the boys having a spirited debate about the first half of the Fast & Furious series.

FP and Joe are in the studio (late this week) to talk about a whole bunch of stuff. The #Capitals were eliminated (Go Florida!), the NBA playoffs are enjoyable and the Pacers are literally making history over and over again, the Finals matchups work with a bunch of different combinations depending on your preferred flavor of basketball.. The world said goodbye to Around the Horn after nearly 5000 episodes... this show meant so much to all of us and is largely why sports podcasts are what they are today... 23 years is a wild run! The boys talk a little baseball too and review two classics for OMC; the Cable Guy and the Hangover II. Subscribe and enjoy!

The boys are suffering through a strong "DC CURSE" week and it shows on their faces and in their voices. The #Capitals are on the brink of elimination, the #Wizards had a chance to rebuild fast but now can't, the #Nationals can't seem to win back to back games, and the Commanders have a billion primetime games... we know how that goes... just a tough tough week for DC sports fans. Plus the OMC revisits Blades of Glory for movie club.

The boys have a plethora of topics to discuss on the show this week including the big big news that required one commissioner, one owner, one mayor, and a PRESIDENT to announce! Capitals stumble vs 'Canes in game one but only Joe is panicked... FP says carry-on and do NOT freak out! ... Why is the NBA regular season and the NBA playoffs two different sports? ...  the NBA playoffs are getting good with parity and upsets nightly! ... Justin Tucker cut by Ravens, Cowboys pickup a WR to help Dak and the OMC review cult favorite Pineapple Express.

Oh many what a week in DC! The Commanders got a deal done with DC to redevelop RFK and the renders look amazing! The NFL draft came and went with so many compelling storylines and "villain" arcs being created, and locally the team did a mediocre/great job... depending on whom you ask! The NBA Draft lottery is a week away, the Nationals don't stink, and the CAPS are trying their best to not-screw-things-up! Plus the boys watched the Accountant for OMC! What a week, what a show! 

There is a trio in the studio discussing the NHL and NBA playoffs after a spirited "holiday" debate. Turns out Joe was so annoyed with WrestleMania he demanded the cast not discuss it, meanwhile Andy and FP defend the Capitals squandering a two goal lead as "business as usual"... BUT still expect them to win and win big in game two and beyond. Finally, OMC breaks down 2010's Sinners and Saints... it was Joe's pick... many many spoilers ahead!
