Sports R Dumb

Listen for free

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.

    Lengthy LeBron James Decision Sagas R Interminably Dumb
    Jul 28 2026

    LeBron James has made his "last decision," and he's heading to the Philadelphia 76ers. That's a mighty exciting team on paper, don't you think? Good things games are not played on looseleaf.

    Plus, we reflect on Sean's jam-packed hockey weekend—including a game that started shortly after midnight—and reminisce on the time Joey was featured on local TV celebrating a corn hole victory during a tailgate.

    Argentina Not Having a Single Shot on Goal in a 120-Minute Match is Offensively Challenged Dumb
    Jul 21 2026

    The 2026 World Cup is in the books! Spain defeated Argentina in a thrilling 1-0 snoozefest that included zero shots on goal from Argentina despite over two hours of game time. At least the halftime show sure was something.

    Elsewhere in the sports world, Caitlin Clark dropped 45 points and her team still nearly lost, and the MLB had its Home Run Derby and All-Star Game and...well, these events seemed a lot more fun as kids (and also had way less betting and gambling shout outs). Plus, Joey gets the best karaoke compliment he's ever received.

  • Dives During the World Cup R Endlessly Replayed Dumb

    Dives During the World Cup R Endlessly Replayed Dumb
    Jul 14 2026

    In Switzerland's World Cup match against Argentina, Breel Embolo appeared to get aggressively tackled. Upon replay review, he actually just threw himself into the air and then flailed on the ground. He was rightfully given a second yellow card and removed from the game. Chaos ensued. Don't worry, Harry Kane took a wild dive, too.

    Plus, moments you may have missed in Space Jam, Sean merch we should totally make, the time Joey got locked out of his apartment while staying in Argentina, and a handy way to remember which state is Vermont and which one is New Hampshire.
