About this listen

Sean and Joey love sports, but they realize there are a lot of dumb elements within our favorite games. And each week, they'll break down one of those dumb things in this tidy, bite-sized podcast. Drop by to hear Sean lament over the stupidity of a certain aspect in sports—basketball, football, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, volleyball, lacrosse—nothing is off-limits. If there's something dumb to talk about, you better believe we'll hit it. We're also covering some pointless tweets, overused sports cliches, and general news that...well, doesn't need to be news. And we love to hear from you! Give Sean or Joey (or both) a shout with your favorite dumb things.

  • All These Non-Finals Stories During the Finals R Vacantly Dumb
    Jun 17 2025

    The Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers are in the midst of a wildly entertaining NBA Finals. Yet quite a bit of media coverage has centered around the New York Knicks' absurd coaching search, where Kevin Durant is going, and the legacy of players who aren't anywhere near the Finals.

    Of course, we're giving a little bit of attention to those things, too. Maybe we're part of the problem.

    Plus, do you enjoy watching sports games when you already know the outcome? Or do you only want fresh results?

  • Announcing NIL Details During Games is Infuriatingly Dumb
    Jun 10 2025

    We watched Texas Tech softball pitcher NiJaree Canady doing fantastic things on the mound, yet the discourse was only around her name, image, and likeness (NIL) deal. We typically don't see this during men's sports. Funny how that works, isn't it?

    Plus, Joey gives a recap on his adventures trying to get dumb promotional giveaways and items during his trip to Camden Yards and Nationals Park. What an ordeal—but worth it in the end.

  • MLB Games Without Giveaways R Capitalistically Dumb
    Jun 3 2025

    Joey is taking a little MLB stadium tour to Camden Yards and Nationals Park. One of those games has a cool giveaway; the other has nothing. Why is that?

    Plus, Sean and Joey share their favorite unusual giveaway memories from their game attendance over the years.
