Advertise on podcast: Defeating the Curse (DTC)

Don't look know but the #Commanders and #Wizards are showing signs of life! FP, LP, and Joe are revisiting the win over the #Eagles and the week that was in Wiz basketball. Plus a depressing F1 update from FP and if you missed our interview with the great Dave Johnson last week we've included the audio at the end of this episode! #BulletsFever

Long time friend of the show Bill Rohland joins Joe to catchup on all things DC sports and life. Bill shares his thoughts on the Commanders, the Wizards, and all things related to GMU and local NCAA basketball! Recorded 10/28/2026

The voice of the Wizards Dave Johnson joins the show for the first time and we couldn't be more excited! It's a big deal when radio royalty stops by to say hello! We ask Dave about what it's like being around the team on a daily basis, is Trae Young really really healthy? Is Dunk City for real? ...and get his thoughts on what makes radio so special. It's a #RadioParty

The boys are talking all things NFL, NFC East, Commanders.... and the WIZARDS ARE BACK and started the season 2-2 showing signs of life! How much basketball did FP watch during opening week? Is it possible that ESPN is preparing for a three man broadcast booth? Buck, Pat, and... Aaron? They've tried it before....How much F1 did Joe watch from Texas? After two weeks of RedZone Sunday Naps... we get a clock change (+1 hour) and another opportunity for a glorious nap this week before Sunday Night Football when the Commanders take the field at home after their bye vs the Eagles. This episode moves quick and don't miss the special announcement... two special guests are scheduled to join the show this week! Enjoy!

Don't look now but the Commanders are 1-4-1 and just two games out of first place in the terrible NFC LEAST. JD5 played a complete game but falls to 1-6-1 in his last 8 while DQ falls to 3-17-1 in his last 21... Jayden hasn't won a game in 390 days? is that possible! In better news, the Wizards are set to start their season in which FP, LP, and Joe all have them going over 45 wins later this week and the Capitals clearly still have some plans for this young season.

How fitting that episode 400 celebrates the curse as the previous 399. JD5 returns to action but Ron 2.0 costs the Commanders the game. What are they doing? Why are we so laughably bad at clock management? How can average fans have more situational awareness than millionaire coaches and players? #EmbarrassingAsHail

What else can you say... year after year, administration after administration, nothing changes. The referee's hate us, the league doesn't care, the coaches are learning on the fly, and the ownership seems to be content with status quo. FP and Joe are covering the fallout from another loss for the Commanders... 3 wins out of their last 16 games... 3-13... how disgusting. Who's to blame and who isn't? Would you rather be the Browns? Cardinals? Dolphins? The boys do their best to setup a must-win next week against the Giants... but nobody believes anymore.

The Commanders BEAT THE WORLD CHAMPION SEAHAWKS! YESSSSSS! The best backup QB in the NFL did it... again! Join FP and Joe as the recap all of the week three games and get you set for Sunday in London! 'skins up, cowboys down, ravens up, packers down, eagles down too! Plus, the Capitals begin their new season later this week and FP is bullish with a very positive outlook on the new season!

FP and Joe are heartbroken as the season appears to be over... and it JUST STARTED! FP in particular, the eternal optimist is down hard; down bad; down for the count! The Commanders haven't even played a home game yet and have a London trip on deck too... yuck. How much blame do you put on the coaching staff for JD5 being on the field? WHY NOT TAKE THE POINTS!?? ... the curse lives. We are forever cursed.

The NFL season is here! We are back! FP, Andy, and Joe are in fired up to get into all the NFL action including the "Australia" game... which was so so so... BAD! The Commanders lost but so did the Cowboys and there were several surprises around the league too! It's so good to be back!

Crabcake, FP, and Joe are ready to review not one, not two, not three, but four movies on the latest installment of the Offseason Movie Club, otherwise known as the OMC. Four completely different movies and so many reactions... a DNF, a delayed finish, and a number of surprise reactions. This is a thiccccc episode to end the summer as we prepare for football season! Enjoy!

FP, LP, and Joe are in studio for a rare mid-day pod and LP immediately starts off where the last show ended, with tech problems and terrible takes. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE POINT OF THE PRACTICE SQUAD IS? Plus some random thoughts on DC open wheel racing and one cast member tries to force a tennis conversation... yes, tennis!

FP, Razzle, and Joe are on the mics... but all the boys, literally ALL... the whole cast of DTC submitted their game day predictions... winners, losers, and why... and in some cases the guys are tracking how hot the coaches' seat may get as well depending on a few likely scenarios. This is the episode you've been waiting for... predictions for all NFL Divisions and a full breakdown of the Commanders schedule too! It's almost go-time! #HTTR

Crabcake, FP, and Joe are back reviewing movies and they went the blockbuster route... with a twist. There is no doubting that Miami Vice was a tentpole when it released in 2006 but what was Amazon thinking with Ghost War for summer 2026... and did Apple initially have similar thoughts for The Gorge before switching it to a Valentines Day release? The boys have many many thoughts and they share them all! Enjoy!

LP is coming in hot making bold claims and now that people he can hear him he won't stop talking! The boys discuss preseason football at large, and go a mile deep on the Commanders and what they are watching for on both sides of the ball. Plus Beal rejoins the Clippers and the Lakers got flipped for a cool billion in just over a year!
