222. 32 Fans in 32 Days: #10 Green Bay Packers

As so it ever should be, the Packers come after the Vikings. Zach Richler is better than most Packers fans, because he’s not actually from Wisconsin.

Today’s outro […] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

221. 32 Fans in 32 Days: #3 Minnesota Vikings

Alex previews his favorite team with his favorite YouTube star, Funky Dunkleman (aka Ryan Skorich).

220. 32 Fans in 32 Days: #8 Houston Texans

Can any of the Texans stars stay healthy long enough for this team to meet expectations? Can Keev and Alex ever show up for an entire podcast together?

216. 32 Fans in 32 Days: #19 Seattle Seahawks

Last week we spoke to Ari Gleicher, who lives in Seattle, to talk about the Bears, who Alex hates (he ranks them 8 spots lower than Keev does), yet Alex only provided pro-Bears stats.

213. 32 Fans in 32 Days: #26 Chicago Bears

After two consecutive weeks in which our podcasts were dedicated to trashing Mitchell Trubisky, is it possible we’re wrong? We’ll find out from annual Bears guest Ari Gleicher. Or maybe we just spend the whole time talking about Charles Nagy, Jay Leno, Anthony Miller, and other 1990s celebrities. Today’s outro is Swing Life Away by the […] Learn more about your ad choices.

211. Preseason QB Rankings

No Cian (who was fired from ESPN, according to his own words, for “being ignorant”), so this week Keev and Alex debut their own preseason NFL QB rankings.

204. World Cup 2018 Preview

You really have to hate America and love Putin (and corruption) to be as excited for the 2018 FIFA World Cup as Akiva is (or this guy). We welcome soccer expert and fine fellow Harold Rosengarten to make predictions, while Alex tells us who to root for. Who is Alex rooting for in this World Cup?

202. The Greatest Bands not in the Rock & Roll HOF

It’s official, LeBron is better than Jordan. (Alex even made a playoffs-only chart that comes to that same conclusion.) Keev also asks Alex about the Twins, but really just as an excuse for him to talk about the Mets.

201. Ranking All 214 Artists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

A couple of weeks ago music critic Bill Wyman wrote a piece for Vulture ranking all 214 artists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. This deeply embarrassed Alex, who couldn’t believe there was a ranking he hadn’t yet made, so he and Keev quickly made good and created their own rankings. Then, they argued about them so […] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

199. Win Akiva Wienerkur’s Money

This week Alex and Keev discuss the second round of the NBA playoffs, Kawhi Leonard (because of course), the Twins and Mets, the Stanley Cup Playoffs, in which sport we’re least likely to see an expansion team win it all, and the death of NASCAR.

197. The 17 Fans (and Four Reddits) 2018 NFL Mock Draft

We’re back with the annual 32 Fans a 17-Fans-and-4-Reddits mock draft of the first 23 picks of the 2018 NFL draft. Keev ran this one himself without Alex’s organizational abilities, which is why they didn’t quite make it through the entire round. Jordan Kalish returns again to provide expert analysis.

196. NBA Playoffs Preview

This week we welcome an 80-year-old Jewish man from Long Island (albeit one with a good Twitter feed) to preview the NBA playoffs. The problem with 80-year-old Jewish men is their technological capabilities are limited, so Mr. Jerome keeps dropping off (and somehow infects Alex with his poor audio). But when he’s around, a spirited […] Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

195. Forgotten Coulda-Shoulda-Woulda-Beens

This week Akiva and Alex draft players who started their careers looking like stars only to collapse after just a few elite seasons. Or something. They’ll argue about exactly what they’re doing. There’s also a guest appearance by a young comedian, Ella Wienerkur. And a preview to next week’s NBA playoffs preview podcast. This week’s […] Learn more about your ad choices.
