Charlie, Shaggy, and JGT debate the MVP Award, then Cam Brock joins them to talk about why Elliot Hawkins should have won Most Improved. They wrap it up with a debate about some new rules, Backcourt and 6-second stall.

Johnny Goodtimes and Charlie Hoppes chat with two of the stars of the Oakland Spiders championship team, Walker Frankenberg and Jason Vallee. They discuss their love of ultimate, the passion they have to represent Oakland, and why they had a bit of a chip on their shoulder on Championship Weekend.

JGT, Charlie, and our good buddy Rich Slaton of Pardon My Huck break down the incredible developments of Championship Weekend. How did Oakland completely dominate the two most elite teams in the UFA, New York and Minnesota? Why is Walker Frankenberg so unstoppable? And why is Oakland going to dominate the West for years to come? #ultimatefrisbee #ultimate #frisbee #UFA

Rich Slaton joins the fellas to talk about Austin's come-from-behind victory over Carolina. Charlie talks about how proud he was of Indy's fight against Minnesota. The fellas break down New York's convincing win over Boston, and Oakland's cat-and-mouse win over Salt Lake. We talk about which remaining team is the "Gold standard" of the league, and how the MVP race just got a lot more interesting. And wrapped it up by taking a quick peak at our semifinal matchups.

And then there were four. We break down Championship Weekend, with JGT, Charlie, Shaggy and guest star James Pollard discussing what Oakland needs to do to pull the upset, whether the Austin tight rope act can continue, how Minnesota's big game experience helps them, and who we expect to have a huge weekend for New York. If you want all of the narratives heading into Championship Weekend, be sure to tune in!

Shaggy and JGT talk about the wild card results and break down each of the upcoming divisional games in this week's episode. Can Indy shock the world? Can New York win in Boston? And why does Johnny sound like such a Boomer? It's all in this week's edition of the UFO.

Alex Atkins of the New York Empire and Austin Sol play-by-play announcer Rich Slaton join us for a Playoff Spectacular edition of the UFO. We break down each game of the upcoming playoff slate, Atkins tells us how the New York team is preparing for their upcoming tilt with DC, Charlie tells us how he'd defend New York, Shaggy touts his Elliot Hawkins for MVP pick, and Rich (per usual) finds himself defending the Sol. This is a fun one. If you want to know what to expect from a great playoff slate this weekend, tune in.

Shaggy, Rich Slaton, and JGT discuss Austin's interesting weekend, talk about the issues with refereeing, and talk about which #3 seed could cause the most damage in the playoffs.

Charlie couldn’t make it on the pod this week, but we kept it Indy-focused, as we welcomed Big Game James Pollard to the show. James talked about how Indy’s chemistry is coming together, how everyone is starting to get comfortable in their roles, and what it’s going to take to knock off Minnesota in the Central. We broke down each division, and talked about how time management in the league is improving.

Charlie, Shaggy, and JGT talk about whether or not the league should schedule more weekday games, what we should take away from the Empire's Wednesday night blowout win over Philly, how worried Oakland should be after a narrow escape this past weekend, and how to handle momentum swings.

As we're edging closer to the playoffs, we've started breaking down each division. We discuss some of the biggest storylines in each: can Boston knock off Minnesota and get the 1-seed in the East? Can Atlanta win out to get the 3rd seed in the South? Does anyone have a shot against Oakland in the West? Is Indy ready to take the next step in the Central? Also: the fellas discuss the importance of clock management, how teams approach late regular season games differently when they think they'll play that same opponent in the playoffs, and Johnny (who knows virtually nothing about offensive strategy) requests that Charlie (one of the most brilliant strategists in the sport's history) make a change on Indy's offense . Be sure to follow, and please give us a 5-star rating!

Shaggy, Charlie, and JGT are back to break down an INCREDIBLE week 8 and preview the biggest games of Week 9. Who's making the playoffs in the Central? Is Boston back on top after a great weekend? How does Minnesota always keep their cool when faced with diversity?

New York vs Boston. Carolina vs DC. Austin vs San Diego. We break down all of the biggest games of the coming weekend.

Shaggy and JGT welcome Charlie Hoppes back to the show. The fellas talk about this weekend's matchups, the strange divisional scheduling this year, and which games are "must win".

This one went a little longer than normal, but with good reason. We do a deep dive on the first four weeks of the season with Sol Play by Play Man Rich Slaton, and the mailbag alone is worth the price of admission.
