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.

  • Suing LeBron James for a Hennessy Ad is Laughably Dumb
    Oct 14 2025

    Recently, LeBron James teased a "Decision, Part 2." To people in the marketing field like Joey, this setup felt like the basis of an ad. Even to sports people such as Sean, the immediate response was not, "Oh, let me buy some expensive basketball tickets."

    That WAS the response for at least one dumb fan, and now he's suing LeBron for intentionally deceiving the public. Our tax dollars are going to this court case. We hope the judge laughs in his face and makes him pay his own way for wasting everyone's time.

    Plus, Sean is riding high on the Texas Longhorns' big victory over the Oklahoma Sooners in the setting of the State Fair of Texas. And as of the time we recorded this, Joey doesn't know that the Cubs eventually got eliminated from the playoffs. What a joyous feeling of ignorant bliss.

  • Preseason College Football Rankings R Prematurely Dumb
    Oct 7 2025

    Texas and Penn State were the preseason #1 and #2 teams before the college football season began. It's now Week 7 and both of those teams are completely out of the Top 25. It's almost like we're just wildly guessing at the quality of teams, and maybe we should play some games before arbitrarily assigning rankings!

    This was also one of the wildest NFL weeks in recent memory, so we're breaking down the chaos of games like Niners/Rams (which included a crazy pre-game moment with Mac Jones) and Titans/Cardinals, a game where a snap bouncing off the quarterback's face was only like the fourth-most bonkers thing to happen.

    Plus, Joey takes a trip to Corpus Christi and participates in some fantastic activities, like horseback riding on the beach and Moke driving. And we've got a special guest delivering a rant on yet ANOTHER player dropping the ball before scoring a touchdown.

  • Rapidly Rushing the Field and Showboat Bobbles R "Look Out!" Dumb
    Sep 30 2025

    Virginia upset a top-ten opponent in Florida State. Fans rushed the field before the ball even touched the ground. Thankfully, the two players in the corner of the end zone are alive and didn't get trampled by, you know, hordes of people like they were a plague of locusts o'er the land.

    Meanwhile, Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made one of the most impressive catches we've seen so far this year. He then did some nifty spins and jukes and was running free toward the end zone when he decided to showboat. Alas, the ball rolled out of his hand and out of bounds for a touchback. Whoopsie!

    Plus, the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers end in a tie, some unhinged press conference moments, and the rollercoaster experience that is watching Baker Mayfield. What a weekend.
