James is making good on the punishment just in time! 4 hot sauces. 2 warm ups, and then 2 that will change his life forever. I gave him a chance to avoid the heat by making him answer a few simple questions about his team and the league. Will he do it? Tune in and find out! the 2023 draft is right around the corner!

Final episode of the year! We're back in 6 months guys. Thank you for an unforgettable season. Bronze medal to Brian, Silver goes to Randy, and the Gold belongs to yours truly. It's been a long time coming, but I finally got over the hump. Let's run it back! Who's taking the belt next year?! See you guys in October. Have a great and relaxing off season. Go Magic and Game, Blouses.

Both Randy and I escaped by the skin of our teeth.  Phew!  It was a semi finals matchup for the history books.  We are in for yet another memorable matchup this week.  Colby and Brian square off for the third place “money back” game, and Randy (yes, Randy) and I are fighting for that bag.  Much love to all of you guys.  Couldn’t ask for a better group of dudes to play with.  Bittersweet that we’re wrapping up soon, but I already am stoked to run it back with y’all.  Godspeed and Game, Blouses.  See you guys soon with a very special guest.  

If the semi finals are anything like last week we are in for a treat!  Congrats to the underdogs Randy and Brian.  We have a good one this week and in less than seven days we will have the championship matchup lined up.  Can’t believe we’re almost done with this season.  We have a lot of basketball left to play and I’m getting the anxious shits about it!  We have a lot to discuss... Randy's heroics, Dame's potential shut down, Luka's suspension, Lebron's return and my predictions for the last two weeks. Let's get it! Set them lineups and we will see you next week.  

We are locked and loaded for a postseason like no other.  The first round of games has begun and it’s anyone’s to win.  Injuries are at the forefront of this week’s matchups and may tell the story late in the week, but only time will tell.  

Best of luck to everyone competing for the title.  And for those who have officially been eliminated, thank you for a great season.  We are gonna do it bigger and better next year.  Colby’s title defense begins now.  Who’s taking it from him?

Alright guys, we have just one week left.  Our 6th spot is still up for grabs.  If Randy wins, he's in.  If Imran wins and Randy loses, Imran is in.  Keep competing and don't try and manipulate the seeding!  There's a story still being written here and in a few short weeks we get to know the ending.  Strap in and get ready for a wild postseason.  Good luck guys.  Game, Blouses.  

Well... here we go folks.  We have 2 more weeks of regular season basketball.  We could have some playoff spots clinched, as well as playoff dreams crushed this week.  Colby is the early HEAVY favorite to win.  God help us all if he does.  Let's set those lineups, keep an eye on the free agent market/injury reports, and don't let anyone get an easy win!  Only a few episodes left.  Good luck everybody! 

The playoff picture is about a stable as Jonathan Isaac’s legs! It’s gonna be a doozy folks. These last couple weeks are very important. Going over predictions, our way too early playoff matchups/predictions, injury news, and our last place winner has been officially decided! Don’t count yourself out. There’s still a very thin margin between the playoffs and getting sent home. Enjoy these last few weeks!

We are back from the All-Star break with a special Playoff push episode. Predictions, potential standings, and our last place lock-up. After this week we have 3 more weeks of games, and anything can happen. Make sure to set those lineups and keep an eye on injury return news. Best of luck to you guys, we will talk to you soon! Godspeed Spiderman.

Happy All-Star week!  Lots to go over in terms of the playoff race, last place punishment, standings, trade impact, all star roster, and predictions for week 18. Remember this week is all star week so we have a two week matchup. Congrats to Dom for scoring the greatest scheduling gift known to man. I make my championship prediction, and I think the answer will surprise a few of you.

We go off script a little bit and I let the demons win. Went on a ten minute rant about how much I hate the Heat and how bad the Magic are. Basketball and I are in a fight. I hate to say it, but I’m close to picking a new team. Can’t watch the Heat continue to beat us for another decade. It’s now been 10 years of misery with no sign of improvement on the interstate rivalry.  Best of luck to you all this week.  Hope you enjoyed the episode.   

Imran is back again to talk some playoff predictions, trade deadline madness, and the All-Star game.  Who has the most All-Stars on their team?  Listen and find out!  I'll give you a hint: it's the manager most likely to be punished.  Apologies on the sudden cut in audio/different levels.  One day I'll get this whole thing worked out.  Set those lineups fellas!  Every matchup counts down the stretch.  

What a sweet 16 it was!  Congrats to all the victors.  The playoff picture got shaken up, but we still have some time for things to change.  We're going over all of it in this episode.  Winners/losers, current live draft standings, week 17/playoff predictions, most added/dropped guys, and a look ahead at the trade deadline.  Good luck to all of you guys.  Let's get after it.  

This is a big week for matchups!  Playoff picture is becoming less and less clear as the weeks go on.  We have a ton of teams close to that 6th seed.  Set those lineups and let's shake things up.  Matchups, total stat leaders, predictions, playoff rundown, and an injury report from each team.  If you're gonna have a big week, this is the week to do it!  Go get that W!  

Double Run down this week! Top 3 bottom three for both weeks. I’m back and I’m here for that belt! Hope you guys have a great week. Set them lineups.

We had a WILD week this week in fantasy basketball. Jake is on a roll, Colby is on a three game L streak, Jack is hunting that bye week, Brian is powering through without AD, Jesse set the weekly points record, Dom is banged up and hanging on for dear life, Imran broke his 5 game L streak, the last place picture is coming into focus, and your boy is one a seven game heater. Not to mention, we were the closest we’ve ever been to a clean sweep. Predictions, recap, standings, injuries, you know what we do. Good luck and set them lineups! I’ll be out of commission for next week’s episode due to the wedding and honeymoon. Thanks guys for listening. See you soon. Game, blouses.

Took some time off for the holidays but we are BACK. Week 10/11 Recap is here. We’re going over standings, win/loss streaks, predictions, league vote results, punishments, and the return of the top 3 bottom 3. Enjoy! Set them lineups.

In honor of it being week 10, I am pledging to add $10 to the winnings if James and Damez make a move on their roster by 12/28/2022. Time stamp it. We had another tie this week, we had a shake up in standings, and we had some star player injuries that could make things a little more difficult for some teams. Predictions, standings, moves, injuries, and recap. You know the drill. Much love, Game, Blouses.

Dear James and Damez,  

MAKE SOME CHANGES 

Sincerely, 

The entire league 

Covering a bunch of different shit in this episode.  Randy with his first dub, Brian extending the win streak, Colby remains at the top, and the commish (yours truly) wins the blowout of the week. I apologize in advance for the rant against the co-owned conundrum. Please send them a little motivation and love to get those lineups set and improved. Week 8 has concluded and we’re really getting to see what these teams are made of. Good luck everybody. Game, Blouses.

Week 7 has wrapped, and week 8 is well under way. Congrats to Brian for being manager of the week! His team had a great win against one of the hottest teams in the league. Jake got his first official win this year so also a big congrats to him as well! Standings, predictions, recaps, rundowns… you know what we do. Have a great week and let’s keep it going. Game Blouses.

Part one I go over matchup breakdowns from week 6 as well as some other important info.  For part two, Imran is here to celebrate the 5 game win streak. Predictions, All-Time Dead top 5, All Time Magic draft, and find out who Imran fears as his biggest threat.  If you want to skip the solo portion jump to the 23 minute mark.  See you next week.  

We’re in week six and we have some things to talk about! Congrats to all the winners in week 5. Happy Thanksgiving to you guys. Remember only 6 acquisitions this week, so use them wisely. This is simply a recap of where we are in the season thus far. However, soon we’ll have another guest on to talk some shit very soon. Enjoy the holiday. Game, Blouses.

Week 5 is almost over and we have Dom “Brady” Brignoni, the owner of (the “DAWGZ” as I call them) Team Hibachi. He’s been cooking this week, and we have a lot of competitive matchups to talk about. We make our week 5 predictions, dive into our favorite matchups, discuss a couple potential big time upsets. Will Randy get his first W? Will Imran skunk Jesse 9-0? We also have a surprise for you at the end of the episode that I think any fan of the NBA should tune in to!  Make sure to take care of those lineups this week. We will see you next time. Game, Blouses.

Week 4 is all said and done and we have another 5 way tie for first place. Congrats to all the winners! Same old same old for this week’s episode. We go over matchup of the week, blowout of the week, predictions, top 3, current standings, a surprising trending player, and the dreaded bottom 3. Game, Blouses.

We have Imran back to se the record straight on who will be the one eating the wings this season.  He's flying high after doubling his career wins in the last two weeks.  This is our continuation to the episode from Monday.  More matchup talk, predictions, Magic woes, top 3/bottom 3, and of course, the Kyrie Irving dilemma.  Enjoy guys.  Game, blouses.  

Welcome to week 4. Thank you guys for setting your lineups and making this thing competitive. I appreciate you listening as well. This is a short episode but look out for a guest this week! This episode I go over standings, matchup recap, as well as top and BOTTOM 3 (insert ominous reverberation effect here). Also, I talk about the worst rostered player in our league and who foolishly still has him.  Keep those lineups set, and remember we only have 6 acquisitions this week so use them wisely! 

It’s week 3! This is my first solo episode of the podcast and hopefully the last. I’m going over recaps, NBA news, points leaders, I dive into the +/- stats this year, and I give praise to a team and coach that I think deserves some love after their week 2 victory. Enjoy guys. Set those lineups.

Fresh off of week one we got Mr. 216 himself, Randy Russell on this week’s episode! We go over week one stats, wins, losses, blowouts and barnburners. Enjoy the episode! Remember to set your lineups whether you’re in our league or not. We will see you guys next week. Happy hooping.

Tip off! This week we have the 2020-2021 league champion as our guest. The Top G himself, and owner of Team Andrew Tate, my brother, Jack Dunham. We talk about week one predictions, opening night, teams we wish we had, surprises to look out for, and expectations for our favorite teams. Good luck this week in all your leagues! See you next week.

Average dudes with average takes about all things NBA/fantasy basketball.  This is the "Week 0" episode.  We cover the draft, steals, surprise undrafted players, punishment rules, real league predictions and fantasy league best/worsts so far.
This is the first year of us incorporating a last place punishment, so tune in to see who's going to have to join Britney Griner in a Russian prison this spring!  The stakes have never been higher.

This discussion is heavily based around our specific league, however, if you're also in a 10 man H2H Most Categories league, some of this could help you avoid the embarrassment of losing.

This will most likely be the longest episode due to how much we needed to cover in this week's discussion.

Game, Blouses

Holy hell we got a barn burner for you today! Mia Bucaro from Manta Quest stops by today and we do what we always do which is sit around and talk shit. Mia is a boxing/Muay Thai instructor with knowledge of many other styles of martial arts, she is my trainer, my venting buddy, and one of Jasmine’s oldest friends! So happy to finally have her on here. I would tell you what we talked about, but honestly, it’s better to just listen because we were all over the place in the best way possible. Thank you all again for listening and we will see you next week! We Love ya.

We’re back with SPORTS round 2!

We’re BACK! Brand new set up, and a brand new guest coming at you. Today I had the pleasure of speaking with musician, poet, songwriter, veteran, father, husband, and NEW small business owner/CEO Jeff Brockman! We got DEEP into it this week. Lots of heavy subject matter along with the usual quirkiness that is The Scratch Track. Catch Jeff live by going to his social media platforms that he promotes and make sure to place an order for a shirt/other perch at his new clothing line that he just started “Hippie Veteran”! We’re so happy to be back. Thank you all for being patient with us! We will see you next week, and as always, we love ya.

Today on The Scratch Track we have one of my oldest friends of all time. Tully and I met playing baseball together when we were ten years old. Little did I know he would be such an important part of my musical career. He was the bass player and co-founder of our garage band. We talk about the first jam session, awkward tryouts, bad decisions as a garage band, country music, baseball, college basketball vs. NBA, and we hear Tully’s scratch track. And I have to say, it’s one of my favorites we’ve had so far. Subscribe, follow, like, and rate us! We will see you next week. As of now we will be doing audio only until the move is finalized. Thanks guys! We love ya.

Welcome to the new show! Less album talk and more about the guest! This guest is one of my favorite musicians, and was one of the first people I met in the local music scene back in 2016. Chase is now a regular on the Space Coast and is an incredible singer, songwriter, musician, and master looper/song-builder. He makes a trip over to the Tampa/St. Pete area once a month now so make sure to check out his music and go see it for yourself!

Check this out and get ready for another fresh episode next week. We love ya.

We got another dose of my man Justin Rice and some more Beatles! Had a blast going over more of our life story and learning more about the band! Justin is in a band called Guava Train that plays in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area that you definitely need to follow and go see live. We have an extended heckler segment at the end of this episode that you don't want to miss. Remember... this is the last episode of the old format, and starting 6/10 we are moving to WEEKLY episodes.

What’s up guys?! We have a really interesting episode today. I have Justin Rice here and you’re gonna love him. He’s one of the nicest guys in the business and one helluva musician. We talk about his recent job change, our similar college experience, musical influences, The Beatle who got the most ass, and share some classic local musician stories.

This week we have Chris Francisco on The Scratch Track, who I hadn't met until the day of taping.  The album we cover is my favorite release of 2020 and one of my favorite songwriters right now.  Chris and I cover having COVID, the benefits of the shutdown for us musicians, hecklers (of course), and the jobs we had before we started playing for a living.  We hope you guys enjoy the episode!  We will see you in a couple weeks!

My friend Glenn Lee joins the Scratch Track this week to talk some country! This album is my favorite country album that’s been released in this century. Can’t wait to have this guy back again!

This is a special one! Keith and I both hold this album in very high regard. Before These Crowded Streets has been a very influential album in my playing/writing career, so we dk an appropriate deep dive on (almost) every track. Enjoy this week’s episode! Don’t forget to rate, review, comment, and subscribe to the YouTube channel for more content!

We’re back with another episode and this one was a lot of fun to tape. I’ve never gotten a chance to sit down with Nate and talk with him about music so we learned a lot about each other in this episode. We talk about his musical beginnings, his first time performing, his encounter with Jason Isbell himself, and we discuss his Scratch Track as a performer/musician. Make sure to follow us wherever you can and tell your friends about what we’re doing over here!

Part two with the guy that’s most likely to get me cancelled. We have a doozy of an episode for y’all this week so make sure to buckle up. We talk more Nipsey, James ordering girly drinks, the worst public drink order we’ve heard, we talk about his Scratch Track moment, and we go in detail on one of my least favorite stories to tell (but one of the most important ones), about my move back to Tampa. Hope you guys enjoy, we’ll see ya in two weeks!

We got a twofer this week on episodes! EP. 5 is with my Dad, and this is the first official taping we ever did. We dive right into the album from the top. This week we’re discussing one pops’ favorites - Appetite For Destruction by GnR. We work our way through the album and, as always, Big Steve is bringing those hard hitting facts! We cover some of our favorite (and least favorite) concerts together and discuss who you shouldn’t be at these shows. Remember to like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends! We’re still building here at The Scratch Track, but thank you guys for being a part of our tight knit community. We can’t wait to keep growing.

Alright everybody it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for... 2.16 is HERE! My good buddy Randy Russell stops by to tell some stories and this shit is gonna get DEEP.

My old roommate and good friend James Rodriguez stopped in to record around the holidays. In this episode we talk hip hop, our crazy house parties, my time in south Florida, the first open mic I played down there, and we discuss Nipsey Hussle’s Victory Lap. South Florida peeps, this is the episode for you! Listen closely to the bleeps and you just may hear a story about yourself! And one thing to keep in mind during listening: these are jokes! Don’t take anything too seriously because it’ll only ruin my career. Enjoy it!

Part 2 is here! We are diving into Pearl Jam’s “Ten” with one of the biggest Pearl Jam fans I know. Alfonso and I discuss this titan of a debut album in detail, and he also brought along some rare merch straight from Seattle that will be posted to our Instagram! We go over Alfonso’s scratch track at the end of the episode, and that is a moment you don’t want to miss. Episodes drop every other Thursday. Make sure to follow and subscribe!

Welcome to The Scratch Track! This is our very first full length episode and our inaugural guest happens to be one of my favorite people of all time, Dr. Alfonso Vargas. In this episode we talk about his beginnings as a musician, his military experience, and medical school, all leading up to him being a father of three and a successful local musician. His band Sweet Lick is based out of Tampa FL, and they are a killer cover band that you guys should check out. I also had the pleasure of recording a song with them called “Stronger” which is available everywhere you stream music. Alfonso has a very interesting story, not just about music, but his life in general. Tune in to find out more! Part two will be released in two weeks!
