TitlePub. DateDuration
Smelly Planes and Injured Quarterbacks23 sept. 202601:49:53

Eddie is settling in during his visit to Toronto, but had some complaints for Air France after a smelly flight to Canada. He also had some thoughts on the Ole Miss chants following their big win over LSU. 

Frank barely made it through the first week of his survivor pool after the Eagles snuck by the Titans. But are there some major takeaways after losses for the Chargers and Ravens? The 49ers, Vikings, and Panthers continue to roll, but injuries to Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels, and Caleb Williams could derail a few seasons. 

In the Premier League, Arsenal suffered their first defeat of the season as Manchester City maintained their perfect start. Lamine Yamal critiqued Harry Kane's Ballon d'Or credentials. And Eddie has some more frustrations regarding Thomas Tuchel.

Plus, Frank has wrapped up 'Furious' and 'Chad Powers', and has plans for a 'From' watch party. 

Padel Success and Deshaun's Failure19 sept. 202601:58:38

Eddie breaks down his recent success in a padel tournament, and they break down whether they would go to the same extremes as the recent Hyrox champion in Beijing. 

The Cleveland Browns were bad in Week 1, but Deshaun Watson is using the media to defend his performance. And Colin Kaepernick's press tour reveals that he is still hoping for an NFL return.

Plus, all of our previews and predictions for Week 2 of the NFL, including potential must-win games for the Chargers, Patriots, Rams, and Cowboys. And why Eddie is adding Matthew McConaughey to his insufferable athlete list. 

NOT Overreacting to Week 117 sept. 202601:35:55

Frank and Eddie discuss the major headlines from Week 1 of the NFL and do their best not to overreact to the first week of football. There were comfortable wins for the Jags, Bears, Raiders, and Ravens, but were there any concerns despite wins for the Seahawks, Lions, and Eagles?

And how much should we read into the Giants' win over the Cowboys, the 49ers manhandling the Rams, the Vikings' bizarre comeback against the Packers, and the Cardinals' surprising win against the Chargers? 

Plus, there was controversy again in the Premier League as City won the Manchester Derby. Eddie shares his thoughts on the Foden red card, as well as another baffling VAR decision that allowed Haaland's winner to stand and pile more pressure on Carrick and Manchester United. 

NFL Season Preview09 sept. 202601:57:27

Frank and Eddie make their previews and predictions for the 2026 NFL season. They're expecting strong things out of the NFC West and the NFC North, but think that the Super Bowl winners could be the LA Rams. Will the Seahawks, 49ers, Bears, Lions, Cowboys, or Eagles be able to challenge them in the NFC? In the AFC, can the Patriots repeat their strong season? Or will the Ravens, Bills, or Broncos be able to stop them? All that and more...

And then our predictions for every game from Week 1 of the 2026 NFL Season. Including the historic game between the Rams and the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. As well as a heated divisional rivalry between the Cowboys and the Giants. 

Quotetastic08 sept. 202601:17:40

Eddie and Frank start by sharing some recent travel stories. Eddie's trip to Antibes involved a slow Uber driver and overly vigilant train passengers, and Frank's flight to Porto lacked any watchable movies. With little to watch, Eddie is enjoying season 2 of 'Chad Powers'. 

The Premier League mostly went to form at the weekend, but Arsenal got a big win against Chelsea. Eddie thinks they could learn a thing or two from Lane Kiffin and lean into the hate. Mbappe is embracing the haters after some bizarre quotes in a recent press conference. And College Football is back, with Michigan's controversial win over Western Michigan stealing the headlines. 

And with the NFL season just around the corner, Frank and Eddie discuss the different approaches that the San Francisco 49ers and the LA Rams have taken ahead of their game in Melbourne, Australia. And Eddie shares some interesting quotes from Kyle Shanahan and Nick Bosa. 

Paul Collingwood...the ball's in your court02 sept. 202601:26:24

Eddie made his long-awaited return to cricket, and it has made him even more confident about some claims he made about Paul Collingwood 20 years ago. With Aaron Donald announcing his return to the Los Angeles Rams and the NFL, will his comeback be as successful as Eddie's? And what does Novak Djokovic's first-round exit at the US Open mean for his future?

And the second weekend of Premier League action saw comfortable wins for Manchester City and Manchester United, but there are more warning signs for Spurs and Liverpool. 

Issues with Ted Lasso29 août 202601:11:43

The Jed York arrest continues to get weirder as more details emerge, but is the NFL prepared for the prospect of Jake Paul playing in the future? Frank is enjoying the chaos of the European football transfer window; will Manchester City, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool continue to splash the cash in the final days of the window? 

Eddie doesn't believe that FIFA's punishment for Argentina's behaviour during the World Cup is sufficient, especially as Argentina are looking for creative ways to offset their financial penalties. England cricket has once again been rocked by a drinking scandal, and Frank and Eddie look into some of the unofficial requirements for the NFL Hall of Fame.

Plus, 'Ted Lasso' has chosen to focus on women's football in season 4, but are they doing a good job of making it look good? 

Scooter Jones and the Week 1 Recap26 août 202601:49:33

The 2025/26 Premier League season is underway, but the Big Chill Podcast famously avoids overreaction. But did Frank or Eddie change any of their opinions after poor performances from Manchester United and Tottenham, hard-fought wins for Manchester City and Chelsea, and a comfortable 3 points for Arsenal? 

Eddie is certainly unimpressed with the US Open's pre-tournament mixed doubles event, but Nick Kyrgios is an unlikely future participant after he failed a drug test following cocaine usage. What does the future hold for the maverick Australian? Deshaun Watson has been named as the starting quarterback for the Browns, and both Frank and Eddie are stunned by how he has handled the backlash in Cleveland. And the San Francisco 49ers are once again in the news for the wrong reasons, but this time it is after their owner, Jed York, got himself arrested in Ohio during a prostitution sting.

Plus, former co-host Sam might have a new nickname, and Frank is nearly caught up on 'From', but is the show intentionally frustrating viewers, or is it just not that good? 

Premier League Preview: the grass is more resilient than you think20 août 202602:06:01

We preview the 2026/27 Premier League season. Are Arsenal favorites to defend their crown? How will new managers perform at Manchester City, Chelsea, and Newcastle? Will Manchester United be able to match their form from the backend of last season? And will things go better for Liverpool and Tottenham? 

Plus, Pat McAfee has released an AI slop album, Frank and Eddie share their thoughts on the new season of 'Ted Lasso', Eddie enjoyed 'the Dink' more than expected, but has some strong thoughts on what is wrong with Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'. 

Obsession, FIFA, and the return of Deebo09 août 202601:26:01

Gianni Infantino appears to have lost his battle to open up the World Cup to private equity, but will he be able to stay in charge of FIFA? Luke Littler has made some bold claims about being the best young athlete in the world, and Frank and Eddie discuss whether darts players are athletes, and how he would fare in the internet challenges against Mo Farah and Joey Chestnut. 

The Akron Zips have decided to let a fan coordinate their script for their home opener, but will stick with the fans if the campaign goes well? Is Baker Mayfield right to be frustrated by his contract negotiations with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and were the 49ers right to bring Deebo Samuel back?

Plus, Eddie thinks he's seen everything he needs to see about 'Obsession', but Frank thinks he's missing out. Will the final question from Celebrity Jeopardy stump Eddie? And is 'From' a better version of 'Lost'?

 

Is FIFA trying to ruin the World Cup?03 août 202601:32:39

Gianni Infantino and FIFA have announced their plans to open the World Cup up to private investment, but will UEFA and the other football associations be brave enough to stop them? In NFL news, Eddie is left unsure over whether or not Luke Kuechly is a Hall of Famer, how much you can read into clips from training camps, and what the 49ers are doing with the Kyle Shanahan cover-up.

Plus, Frank has started flying through 'From', and Eddie rewatched 'Armageddon' for the first time in a long time. 

World Cup Final, Flights, and Fajitas26 juil. 202601:41:21

The fallout from the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final continues to rumble on as Argentina showed their true colors against Spain. But Frank and Eddie discuss how Argentina's poor behavior might impact Messi's legacy, and whether or not FIFA will be brave enough to hand out meaningful sanctions.

But first, Eddie shares some more details about his recent trip to Houston, and lets Frank know his latest tips to get free flight upgrades. Plus, why is Tom Brady getting involved with Logan Paul? And does it make sense to wear the same outfit every day? 

Time to toss out Tuchel18 juil. 202601:42:13

Frank and Eddie react to both of the semifinals from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Spain controlled the game against France, but how did England manage to blow it from a comfortable position against Argentina? Eddie is convinced that, although it won't happen, it is time for Thomas Tuchel to go. 

Plus, our predictions for the World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina, Frank is making headway with 'From', and Eddie has some more complaints about parents on planes. 

World Cup Semifinal Preview14 juil. 202601:39:54

Frank managed to pick up an injury during his hockey tournament in LA, but Eddie had his own personal disaster during the Norway v England quarterfinal. They look back on all of the matches from the quarterfinal stages, including France's comfortable win over Morocco, a late winner for Spain against Belgium, and extra-time wins for England and Argentina. Are Norway right to feel slightly aggrieved by decisions that went against them in the England match? And were Switzerland denied a late penalty against Argentina?

We then look ahead to the semifinals, including Mbappe's remarkable World Cup record, and a heated rivalry between Argentina and England that Eddie thinks is often misunderstood. Plus, Jannick Sinner wins Wimbledon again, and Eddie has a bone to pick with Stanley Tucci, Tom Holland, and Taylor Lewan. 

World Cup Quarterfinal Preview09 juil. 202601:32:26

The last 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has wrapped up, as the tournament is once again shrouded in controversy. Argentina pulled off a late comeback against Egypt, but Frank and Eddie look into the theory that Messi and co are benefiting from some favorable refereeing decisions. Spain found a late winner against Portugal, but has Ronaldo truly ended his international career, and did his parting comments leave a sour taste in the mouth?

Frank and Eddie look ahead to the quarterfinals, as France take on Morocco, England play Norway, Belgium play Spain, and Argentina face Switzerland. 

Plus, Eddie has started watching 'For all Mankind' and he's not sure that it's actually good. 

England in a Thriller06 juil. 202601:40:12

England are through to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Quarterfinals after overcoming Mexico at the Azteca. Eddie and Frank look back at one of England's greatest ever World Cup performances, including standout efforts from Pickford, Gordon, and Bellingham. But where did things go wrong for Mexico, even after they may have benefited from some of the officiating? 

Elsewhere, Argentina survive a scare against Cape Verde, Portugal somehow scraped by Croatia, Paraguay tried their best to rough up France, and Haaland and Norway proved too much for Brazil. But will this World Cup be overshadowed by controversy after FIFA and Infantino further embarrassed themselves by postponing Balogun's suspension ahead of the USA's match against Brazil?

Belgium, Balogun, and Botched Penalties03 juil. 202601:55:45

The Round of 32 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is nearly complete, and there have been some thrilling finishes to matches. Eddie thinks that England weren't quite as bad as people are making out, and feels confident ahead of their clash against Mexico at the Azteca. There were controversial refereeing decisions galore, as Balogun was sent off for the USA, England were denied a penalty, and Germany and Spain had goals chalked off for mystery fouls on a goalkeeper. But the real question is, will anyone be able to stop France? Can Belgium build on the momentum of their late comeback against Senegal? And will we see a better version of Brazil against Norway?

Plus, Frank is finally watching 'From', Eddie isn't impressed with 'Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness', and Serena Williams was up to her old tricks against Maya Joint at Wimbledon. 

World Cup Knockout Stage Preview29 juin 202601:15:47

The 2026 FIFA World Cup group stages have come to a close, and Frank and Eddie look back at the top performers, the underachievers, and some of the most interesting stats. France and Argentina impressed the most, but what should the expectations be for England, Portugal, the USA, and Canada heading into the knockout stages?

Plus, Eddie nearly found a loophole in the Air France booking system, Ben Stokes' main character syndrome rears its ugly head during his retirement from international cricket, Andros Townsend has some peculiar in-flight meals, and Frank shares his initial thoughts on Larry David's new TV show. 

World Cup Round 2 Reaction26 juin 202601:34:16

Eddie is surviving the European heatwave, but does think that people are overreacting to England's 0-0 draw with Ghana. Frank was less impressed by the officiating than he was by England, and Eddie agrees that England had a lucky escape with one or two of the decisions. Ronaldo scored twice against Uzbekistan, and Eddie believes that Frank is giving CR7 a slightly hard time when it comes to his role within the Portugal team. 

Plus, how much will this World Cup impact Erling Haaland's legacy? Serena Williams is back, but will she be a popular draw in the first round of Wimbledon? And is Zlatan Ibrahimovic playing a character as he stars alongside Thierry Henry on Fox Sports? 

2026 World Cup Preview11 juin 202601:38:33

Our preview and prediction ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. How will the host nations of Canada, the USA, and Mexico fare? And will England, Portugal, Spain, and France live up to expectations? We could be on course for a last Ronaldo versus Messi match-up, but can Brazil and Argentina bring further success to South America?

Plus, Omar Artan was denied entry to the United States, meaning that he won't be able to referee at this World Cup. And Eddie asks what Gianni Infantino was doing sucking up to Donald Trump if it can't even guarantee entry for key officials. 

Roland Garros and World Cup Warmups10 juin 202601:16:00

Alexander Zverev won the 2026 French Open to claim his first Grand Slam title, but Eddie is disappointed that his controversies overshadowed the tournament. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is nearly upon us, although there are serious concerns over the quality of pitches and playing conditions in the United States. And Christian Eriksen's collapse during Denmark's recent friendly should bring a sad end to an excellent playing career. 

Speaking of controversies, England Cricket once again finds itself in hot water after Ben Stokes and Gut Atkinson got into a scuffle in a club in Chelsea. Frank speaks about his recent hockey tournament in Nashville, and Eddie's Fiat Topolino continues to be a target for road rage. 

PSG: Back-to-Back06 juin 202602:01:53

PSG put themselves into an elite group by winning back-to-back Champions Leagues, but the big takeaway for Eddie was how disappointing and defensive Arsenal were throughout the final. Myles Garrett and AJ Brown were both part of blockbuster trades in the NFL, and Frank and Eddie think that the Garrett trade might be a rare example of both sides making a good deal. 

Plus, a Roland Garros full of upsets is going to provide some new Grand Slam champions. Still, Eddie is getting tired of Naomi Osaka making it about everything other than tennis, but he has even stronger thoughts on Jaxson Dart's handling of his Trump backlash. 

Tuchel's England Squad Selection29 mai 202601:50:39

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, and Thomas Tuchel has finalized his England squad for the tournament. Frank and Eddie analyze some of his selections. Eddie explains that he understands that the inclusion of Henderson, Madueke, and Gordon shows that Tuchel wants a squad that fits his system, but will it work? 

The Premier League season wrapped up with Arsenal as champions, Manchester City slipping up again, and Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation at the expense of West Ham. Roland Garros is underway in Paris, with some of the world's top players on both the ATP and WTA tours protesting prize money, but Eddie thinks they're being tone-deaf with some of their complaints. 

Plus, Hull beat Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final following the controversy of 'spygate'. The Enhanced Games failed to deliver many world records, and would you go out of your way to attend a championship parade? 

Arsenal are champions, but not the best23 mai 202601:07:05

Manchester City slipped up again and handed Arsenal their first Premier League title in 22 years, but Eddie is still adamant that they are not the best team in England. The relegation battle goes down to the final day of the season, and will Spurs do enough to stay ahead of West Ham and maintain their Premier League status? And the 'Spygate' punishment is in, should Middlesbrough feel very lucky to find themselves back in the Championship playoffs at the expense of Southampton? 

Pep Guardiola's time at Manchester City has come to an end, with Enzo Maresca set to take charge at the Etihad, and Frank and Eddie look ahead to the next couple of seasons to predict who might be challenging for silverware over the next 5 years. Plus, Bevel tells Eddie his biological age, and Frank prepares for his biggest pickleball competition of the season. 

 

Does Fox Sports really know football?17 mai 202601:05:44

Eddie had a disappointing padel outing, but will Frank be able to cheer him up with the Fox Sports list of the 25 players that will define the 2026 FIFA World Cup? The EFL Championship playoffs have been thrown into disarray as Southampton find themselves in a very British Spygate scandal. Should Middlesbrough be reinstated? Will Hull win in a walkover? Or can Southampton survive the scandal?

Plus, the NFL schedule has lined up some good holiday matchups, and more sports teams are following the example of Surrey County Cricket Club by encouraging remote work at their stadiums. 

VARsenal14 mai 202601:18:20

Arsenal moved one step closer to their first Premier League title in 20 years, but Eddie explains why he didn't like West Ham's equaliser being disallowed, even though it was a foul on David Raya. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, but with hotel occupancy levels well below normal, will things go smoothly in the US, Canada, and Mexico? 

Plus, the Diana Rossini and Mike Vrabel scandal continues to escalate, should you swap seats on an airplane, and Eddie's latest YouTube rabbit hole. 

Arsenal Riding High08 mai 202601:29:32

Arsenal and PSG advanced to the Champions League final, although both Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich may feel they were on the wrong side of some controversial refereeing decisions. Manchester City's 3-3 draw with Everton has handed the advantage back to Arsenal in the Premier League title race, but Eddie thinks that there's a good chance that there will be more slip-ups in the final couple of weeks. 

Frank decides to ragebait Eddie by bringing up Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt's addition to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And Eddie asks Frank about some complicated family dynamics and whether one should tip after receiving gambling winnings. Plus, early reactions to 'Widows Bay' and why Eddie is enjoying 'Rooster' more than he thought he would. 

Live from the Championship04 mai 202601:32:29

Eddie managed to embarrass himself in Barcelona, but should Arsenal and Atletico Madrid feel as if they were exposed by the football played by Bayern Munich and PSG? Eddie rarely comes to the defense of Mikel Arteta, but he does feel as if VAR made a mistake by overturning a late penalty for Arsenal. In the Premier League, the fixtures have allowed Arsenal to rebuild their lead at the top, and that could prove crucial. And Hull managed to pip Wrexham to the final playoff spot on a thrilling last day of the Championship season. 

Both Frank and Eddie agree that it is pointless to analyze NFL draft picks before a snap has been played, but the Arizona Cardinals did make a slightly head-scratching move. And 'The Rewatchables' podcast is great, but that doesn't make it perfect. 

Eddie Goes to the Barber25 avr. 202601:13:36

In this episode of the Big Chill Podcast, Eddie got his haircut, but he wasn't happy with the experience and wondered what Frank would have done in the same situation. Manchester City won their game in hand, and their 1-0 win over Burnley has put them top of the table, but should Arsenal be favorites due to their easier run-in?

Liam Rosenior's time at Chelsea has ended, but just how bad were his 107 days at Stamford Bridge? And Leicester City's back-to-back relegations mean that the recent Premier League and FA Cup Champions are now facing life in League One. And how impressive have Wrexham been as they find themselves challenging for the playoffs in the Championship? 

Plus, Eddie is worried that Paul Seixas might be about to change French luck in the Tour de France, and he really thinks that Frank should be watching 'From'. 

 

 

Manchester City v Arsenal Reaction22 avr. 202601:31:01

Manchester City came out on top in their crucial top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal in the Premier League. Frank and Eddie were impressed by Haaland and Cherki, but just how lucky was Gabriel to avoid being sent off? Elsewhere in Europe, PSG suffered a surprise defeat that puts a bit of pressure on the reigning champions in Ligue 1, and Bayern Munich continued their record-breaking season in the Bundesliga. On the back of success, Eddie thinks that Harry Kane could be a Champions League win away from entering some very exclusive company.

In the NFL, the New York Giants traded away star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, but Frank is happy with the move. And which NFL player is the best comparison to Noah Wyle?  

 

World Cup Price Gauging and Champions League Semfinals19 avr. 202601:34:11

In this episode of The Big Chill Podcast, Frank and Eddie discuss the challenges of maintaining friendships and the logistics for The Breeders' Cup 2026. Bayern Munich, PSG, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid are through to the Champions League semifinal, but Eddie thinks that UEFA needs to review the ability of French and Spanish teams to move games ahead of Champions League matches. 

Plus, Whoop released Rory McIlroy's data from The Masters, and Frank is feeling a little uncomfortable at his gym. 

 

Arsenal Dropping. Rory Rising.16 avr. 202601:27:58

Frank has some strong opinions on how players are messing up their strategy on 'Tipping Point', but Eddie has a business opportunity with Dunkin' Donuts that might cheer him up. Arsenal's defeat to Bournemouth means that Manchester City are right back in the title race ahead of their match this Sunday, but Eddie is refusing to believe that Arteta and co. will completely blow their lead in the Premier League. Rory McIlroy entered elite company by winning back-to-back Masters, but where does he now stand in the modern-day golf Pantheon, and is the Masters becoming an overrated sporting event? 

Plus some pop culture blind spots and what's actually going on in 'The Pitt'.

Will Arsenal blow it all?09 avr. 202601:29:51

Big changes are coming to the podcast, but did Arsenal's FA Cup defeat at the hands of Southampton change Eddie and Frank's opinions on their Premier League title chances? The FIFA 2026 World Cup is facing more controversy as seat maps are hidden and prices continue to surge. 

And are there any new MLB stadium foods worth trying, and does 'The Pitt' need to start focusing on the night crew?

They look good for their age04 avr. 202601:14:12

Frank was ghosted by his roller hockey team, but Eddie is more worried about the escalating costs of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Duke blew a commanding lead against UConn in the NCAA Tournament, but should we give college players a pass when they make game-losing mistakes in March Madness?

Frank found himself in a critical situation in a Starbucks bathroom, but Eddie thinks he should have bought an item before using their facilities. Plus reaction to the latest episodes of 'The Pitt', Eddie's thoughts on 'Project Hail Mary', and why Eddie has issues with the evolution of 'Shrinking'. 

Arsenal, Jelly Roll, and Anaconda26 mars 202601:40:36

Manchester City beat Arsenal in the League Cup Final, but will Arsenal's defeat have any impact on how they approach the remainder of the Premier League season, the Champions League, or the FA Cup? Eddie thinks the Premier League is already a foregone conclusion, but Guardiola exposed some weaknesses that will prove to be their undoing in the Champions League and FA Cup.

The official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was released, but does it stand up to classics from the likes of Ricky Martin and Shakira? The Fanatics Flag Football tournament took place over the weekend, but has it changed what Frank thinks Team USA should do heading into the 2026 Olympics? 

And Eddie watched 'The Peaky Blinders' movie, 'Greenland 2', and 'Anaconda', but which did he enjoy the most? The answer might surprise you...

Arsenal Limping Towards the Title19 mars 202601:14:09

Frank's trip to Colorado was severely delayed by snow, but neither he nor Eddie get why travelers take out their frustrations on airport staff. Manchester City slipped up again, and it looks like Arsenal will win their first Premier League title in 23 years, even if they're failing to entertain in the process. Meanwhile, Chelsea look to be in some trouble as a result of financial irregularities, and Morocco have won AFCON 2025 on appeal.

Venezuela upset the USA in the final of the World Baseball Classic, but the USA players upset Eddie even more by wearing game-worn USA hockey jerseys to the final. 

Plus, neither Eddie nor Frank quite gets the hype surrounding 'Marty Supreme' or 'One Battle After Another'.

NFL Signings and Guy Ritchie 'Classics'13 mars 202601:22:24

Eddie has joined Frank in the world of teaching, but he isn't sure that his colleagues are big fans of him. A bad week in the Champions League for English sides looks like it's getting worse, but have the early stages of NFL free agency thrown up any major signings? And India win the 2026 T20 Cricket World Cup as England continue to struggle in the Six Nations.

Plus, Eddie still loves 'The Pitt', but he is a bit frustrated with some of the writing. And Frank tries to convince Eddie that Guy Ritchie actually makes good movies. 

Arsenal are ruining football08 mars 202601:10:08

Frank and Eddie's pickleball and padel journeys continue, but Eddie has been on the receiving end of some road rage. Tez Johnson's ex-fiancée revealed why their relationship came to an end, but college football players in Mississippi will be delighted to hear that NIL money will no longer be taxed. Eddie is suspicious that some other media networks are stealing ideas from the Big Chill Podcast after Fox Sports revealed an AI version of Colin Cowherd. 

Manchester City's latest slip-up has handed advantage back to Arsenal, and Eddie isn't happy with how the potential Premier League Champions are playing, especially after they were handed an easy Champions League draw. 

Cold War Controversy01 mars 202601:24:08

The USA completed the men's and women's Winter Olympic ice hockey gold medal double, but Eddie isn't certain that the 'miracle on ice' is all that it is cracked up to be. Bodo Glimt's remarkable Champions League run continues, but is the new format finally delivering some excitement? 

And 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' wrapped up, but will a good first season be undone by the wait between seasons 1 and 2? And did Eddie deserve a bigger reward for giving someone back their credit card?

Can Arsenal hold on?22 févr. 202601:24:03

Arsenal slipped up again in the Champions League, but has their 2-2 draw with Wolves completely opened the door for Manchester City? The Champions League is back, and Bodo Glimt continued their improbable run of form, but the play on the pitch was overshadowed by accusations of racist abuse from Vinicius Junior in Real Madrid's match against Benfica. 

Plus some more Winter Olympics updates, 'The Pitt', and things that used to be flashy, but are now obsolete. 

Winter Olympics Drama20 févr. 202601:26:29

The 2026 Winter Olympics are in full swing, but some of the sporting displays are being overshadowed by controversies and drama. After his brief update in the last episode, Frank takes a deeper look at Penisgate and the curling video review system. Eddie is watching more of the Olympics than he thought he would, but has the controversial opinion that they shouldn't be called 'Olympics'. 

Plus, ESPN ranks the 60 most difficult sports, Trent Williams' wife is ok with him dating his girlfriend, and Eddie is a tiny bit disappointed with 'The Pitt' not focusing on the boring stuff. 

A Super Bowl Sleeper13 févr. 202601:28:10

The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl XV in a snoozefest, but which teams from the AFC and NFC will feel like they missed their chance to lift the Lombardi Trophy? Frank thinks it will be a long time until the New England Patriots make it back to the AFC Championship game, and Eddie isn't sure that Kenneth Walker III was the right choice for Super Bowl MVP.

Plus, Eddie is enjoying the Winter Olympics more than he thought he would, Manchester City sneak past Liverpool after a thrilling final 15 minutes, and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' might be the best Game of Thrones TV depiction yet. 

Super Bowl LX Preview05 févr. 202601:31:48

Our preview and predictions for Super Bowl LX as the New England Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara. Including a full breakdown of the keys to the game, where the Super Bowl is likely to be won and lost, and some of the best player props. Both Frank and Eddie believe that the Seahawks will dominate, but can Sam Darnold handle the pressure, or will Drake Maye and the Patriots manage to find a way to win?

Plus, Eddie isn't a fan of the Winter Olympics and thinks that there's too much international ice hockey, and reactions to the latest episodes of 'The Pitt' and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'. 

Whoop'd Out02 févr. 202601:34:38

Frank convinced Eddie to start using a Whoop, but he's already planning to switch to an Apple Watch and find a new padel partner. Novak Djokovic came up short in the Australian Open Final against Carlos Alcaraz, but did he do enough to prove that he can still compete with the 'Big Two'? Tom Brady has started posting on Instagram like a teenage girl, and Eddie finds it eerily reminiscent of some old pictures of Frank.

And Eddie is frustrated by the college football transfer portal, senior leadership at Blackburn Rovers, the Epstein List, and the lack of concern over ties between the Memphis Grizzlies' owner and Russia. 

Padel and Popes01 févr. 202601:14:42

Eddie has started playing padel, and Frank is settling in nicely to the Minnesota hockey lifestyle. Novak Djokovic is reminding the tennis world that he's still a force to be reckoned with, but has he always been chasing a big two? And Bill Belichick didn't make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the first time of asking, but were his controversies with the New England Patriots enough to deny him being a first ballot HOFer? 

And has the Champions League become too convoluted for its own good? Eddie thinks not and believes that the new format may be optimized for gambling, but not for actual football fans. 

Bad Weather, Worse Play-calling, and Terrible Officiating28 janv. 202601:39:45

It's the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, but both Frank and Eddie think that the LA Rams might have been the best team in the NFL this season. The Patriots and Broncos finished their game in a blizzard, but did Denver make a mistake by leaving points on the board?

Plus, Alcaraz, Sabalenka, and Sinner are told to stop wearing their Whoops at the Australian Open.
