The Saints lose badly to the Falcons. Nothing good can come of this. Ron is losing faith and Charles is calling in from a tin can again. Jason Kirk is ready to laugh.

Sad horns start the episode as the Saints fritter away a 12-point third quarter lead and fall to the Raiders in the home opener. Ron and Charles are staying positive and our Man in the Dome, Skooks, reports that the vibes are still really good despite the late collapse. Unclear if that will survive a loss to Atlanta as the RB and LB corps both are riddled with injuries.

I'll fix this later

Charles and Ron are back and surprisingly ok with a close week 1 loss with a lot to recommend it. A.R. Moxon, author of the novel The Revisionaries, the essay collections Very Fine People and Fighting in the Dark and the newsletter The Reframe joins Charles to talk about the futility of Lions fandom and how not to get a publisher.

The Saints are back so Charles and L. Ron are back too. They are trying to be enthusiastic as a new team emerges... and then returns to the blue tent.

Charles Star and L. Ron Mexico (kind of) are back! Charles talks with Arif Hasan (NFL Draft expert and podcaster (60 Minute Drill and Norse Code) and writer (Wide Left)) about the Saints' draft (which he loves). Arif is a little less enthusiastic but he thinks it's pretty good. Charles and Ron do get to talk a little to welcome Cam back to New Orleans.

The Saints closed out the season with a 19-17 loss to the Falcons but Charles and Ron are thrilled. A loss got the team everything it wanted except another win over the Falcons.

Three game winning streak! Skooks stops by to talk about the last two home wins but mostly L. Ron and Charles get psyched for the future after a 29-6 win over the Jets. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Charles and Ron get stupid after a frustrating game with two very different halves in a 21-17 loss to Miami. We get our own ass bceause we don't have a guest.

The Saints go down hard again, 24-10 to the Falcons. Ron and Charles are losing faith in Kellen Moore. Jason Kirk stops by to get our ass. Skooks is resigned but will keep showing up and taught Charles about merliton. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

It's the bye week so Charles and Ron relax and enjoy the win over the Panthers for another week. Joining them on the pod this week, former Minnesota Vikings punter and current candidate for California State Assembly, Chris Kluwe. We talk about his development as a punter, his career from winning his job to the hazards of making noise about politics and his current campaign to represent an Assembly seat in Orange County on the Democratic line. You can read more about Chris's campaign at https://kluweoc.com Charles Star https://bsky.app/profile/ugarles.bsky.social L.

Well would you look at that! A happy Ron and Charles enjoy the aftermath of a 17-7 win over the division "rival" Carolina Panthers. We don't have a guest this week but that doesn't stop us from getting the ass of our old friends from the For Panthers Only podcast. You can hear the Hannukah episode of It's Christmastown with Charles at https://daveandjebarentmean.libsyn.com/141-the-great-yiddish-bake-off. Unfortunately his Blackout Diaries entry hasn't dropped yet, but we'll post it when it does.
