Czabe welcomes MATT MUELLER to talk about some of the amazing moments and scenes from Milan. Also, Hollywood has been on a mini-run lately, and Matt is here for it! Czabe also talks about the Tony Clark fiasco with the MLBPA, and maybe my devices are both eavesdropping on me for targeted ads, but also spying on me? The Robot Revolution is on our doorstep.

Czabe flies solo today as he's traveling to Arizona with his mom and daughter. The NBA Draft Lottery is worse than before, but Czabe has a simple proposal to return the league to "normal law" before making any more counter-productive "fixes." The Olympics still deliver the human drama that should resonate with everyone, but there's always a few "bah humbugs" out there. The feds are stepping in to help fix the "Poo-tomac" (Potomac River). Who knew bridges took that long to build? Plus bored apes, bangers, and what "Real Feel IQ" would look like.

Czabe welcomes ol' pal BRIAN BUTCH to the show and they discuss the latest coaching drama in college basketball, as well as what winter Olympic sport would be the most terrifying. Maybe AI is about to usher in a golden age of new movies? Nobody asked for Mayweather vs. Tyson, but well, here we are. Also Puck News' JOHN OURAND tells us why NBC might have screwed itself with the NFL, by overpaying for the NBA.

Czabe and ANDY POLLIN hook up to discuss the hopeless state of the NBA's All-Star Weekend from soup to nuts. Every single metric, attitude, and soundbite is in the absolute shitter, and Adam Silver has run out of ideas. Even the bad ideas. Of which he finds many. The NFLPA somehow loses what should have been an easy arbitration win over their annual survey. The Canadians are cheatin' fucks when it comes to the "sport" of curling. And maybe giving your wife a $1M Ferrari for Valentine's is a sub-optimal idea.

Czabe delivers a monster Thursday episode - 1:42! longest ever! - because he just won't shut up!

Czabe delivers a massive triple-header today! First, he weighs in on the pros/cons of Olympic legend Lindsay Vonn deciding to ski on a torn ACL, and then break her leg crashing while trying. Also, we get a consult from Dr. BRIAN KOCH an actual orthopedic surgeon on the situation. Czabe shares a snippet of his weekly Monday chit-chat with Scott and Solly on *their* pod, then MATT MUELLER swings by to discuss all the good, bad, and the whaaaaa? of the Super Bowl ad slate.Our Sponsors:* Check out Mars Men: https://mengotomars.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Czabe recaps one of the dullest Super Bowls in at least a while (shoutout to the Patriots' 10-3 win over the Rams in 2019!) and why it was obvious the Patriots had no chance after the first few drives. When did you know they were cooked? The Sam Darnold redemption arc. Some thoughts on Bad Bunny. ANDY POLLIN joins the show to talk about the death of the Washington Post sports department and what might come next. Also, the life and times of Sonny Jurgensen.

Czabe sits down with JP FLAIM and "CAKES" AUVILLE to cut it up about JP's new book "Faith Restored" about the Commanders miracle 2024 season, plus why Cakes is a poker fanatic and how he once almost let blackjack ruin him financially. We talked about cheating our way through high school chemistry, the time JP decided he'd try boxing and write a book about it, working at amusement park Wildworld (aka Six Flags). All that plus the wretchedness of the Dan Snyder era in DC, and why neither JP nor Cakes actually grew up as Redskins fans. A great chat at MGM National Harbor where we enjoyed their back lounge area at Tap restaurant!

Robert Kraft denied the HOF. A "cheese-backed economy" is a thing. Cheese wheel pasta, for the win! PGA Tour prediction pools. CzabeVegas update.
