The Legal Limit - Episode 12: It's Been a Minute
Harts and Dubs are back on the mean streets of Manhattan. Intoxication and takes ensue. Come for the slurred speech, stay for the sounds of a garbage truck parked next to us. Hashtag nachos. Music by Chance the Rapper, DATA and DJ Shadow. Yeah you know the one.

Episode 48: Since I Left You
The boys are back. In this episode, with a delayed release due to Dubs being equal parts overworked and forgetful, The Outlander, The Commander and The Barrister gather from their disparate locations outside of WNY to discuss, in large measure, the value in recognizing expat stories when we discuss the City of Good Neighbors. We also make bad jokes, curse a bunch and talk about beer, the Sabres and awful sports media, as per protocol. Music by Avalanches.

Episode 47: Omar Comin'
We recorded a podcast via Skype and our special guest was basically heading through a series of loud cocktail parties, PA announcements and ancient Pennsylvanian infrastructure. It was grand. Topics discussed include the Bills starting QB spot being granted to His Magesty Tygod Taylor, the hilarity of the Washington Redsk..er... i mean Football Team, Russ Brandon being a snake, the late Al Davis and his weird looking son, Tim Graham's ethics in sports journalism, Eichel and Moulson shacking up, ...

Episode 46: Chasing Blood Alcohol and Making It Content
In this slightly (read: very) belated publication of the Buffalo sports podcast you love to hate, we give you a glimpse into the week the was 8 days ago - before James Harrison called his sons entitled pussies, before the Bills signed IK and Tyrod Taylor became a thing, before Paul Cambria stormed Bedenko's Facebook page and gave us a glimpse of the best defense attorney talent Buffalo has to offer. 'Twas a simpler time. It's another long one. Take breaks if you need to, but come back so we can ...

Happy Endings with Barrister and Scizz! - Episode 5
Y'all, we recorded this four nights ago but then a whole hit load of life happened and fuck you for asking. But seriously. Work, a mass of yard work, summer hangouts and loads of Lagunitas chased by spliffs. Here we are. It's the offseason of most things we talked about so nothing is all that out-of-date apart from some baseball talk - the Mets swept those Nationals shut the front door. Delightful. Life filled with delight. Podcast featuring rants about Russ Brandon, Tom Brady, born-again Bills ...

DrafTastiCast 2015! - we like hockey again? and the Bills had no 1st rd pick edition!
I am so fucking pumped about this. Basically my favoritest thing we did in this podcast game was the last band draft we did (I received the best draft grades on Yahoo! but the worst on ESPN, fuck them), so it was time to do the damn thing yet again. It is their baby, so I can only claim scant credit for the content about to hit your ear holes, but I'm joined by @Boner_Shorts and @jambrones. Theya re rad as fuck.

Episode 45: Guy Fieri, the Ethics of Tanking and Your Mom Gave Me a Rash
We're back bitches. For how long, only the gods can tell. Probably a while. Shit has been busy as hell, I mean fuck me, we recorded this nearly 90 minute shit show of oratorial magic Wednesday fucking night, and here we are. It's Saturday, I have a weird shame glaze all over me, and it's a done deal. We talk Sabres, Bills, TV chefs, the creepiness of John Wawrow on twitter, and SBA's overwhelming hatred of Long Island. Music by way of The Jambrones, The Lost Boyz, Phoebe Ryan, The Tallest Man on...

Happy Endings with Barrister and Scizz! - Episode 4
The lovable idiots are back talking about the Bills coaching situation (recorded before the more recent Rex Ryan reports have been coming out), and then some other stuff like movies and music and karaoke and Sondheim musicals. Musical interludes by way of Bleachers, Soundgarden, The Griswolds (no not those Griswolds), and Jackson 5.

Happy Endings with Barrister and Scizz - Episode 3
Hey, we're back! We predictably got too busy and left a huge whole between episode releases, and did so within the first month of this podcast's young life. Solid work from your favorite Buffalo expat sports internet reality show stars. We get buzzed on Little Sumpin Ale and our own egos as we talk some serious nonsense about our Bills and Sabres, enormous tangential discussions of television, porn video mosaics of historical figures, and our mutual loathing for an HBO personality who is neither...

Happy Endings with Barrister and Scizz! - Episode 2
Hey we did it! We kept to our promise to find an hour to talk this week and record that talking and make jokes and shit! Barrister talks about his new job, Scizz talks about running, and the two bemoan idiot Doug Marrone, the weird status of the Sabres and some other stuff and other things that make them laugh. Subscribe to the DGWU Sports CrapTastiCast on iTunes and be sure to download Episode 3! We promise to try to get it out earlier in the week next time.

Happy Endings with Barrister and Scizz! - Episode 1
Our little website adventure has been a haven for negativity, as a rule, and it's about time we tried to change that paradigm. Born out of Scizz's brain, we're taking a crack at a weekly podcast aimed at being positive. Positive enough to keep Scizz motivated to stay in the business of producing oral internet content without slipping into a downward spiral of rage and infinite sadness. Enough of sad stuff that keeps us yelling too much. We bring you Happy Endings with Barrister and Scizz. Hope y...

Episode 44: All Aboard the USS Inappropriately Tanked
We recorded a podcast. Our intentions were good, but the first two takes were lost in my computer so we by the time any recorded content was created, we were multiple drinks deep and had lost all sense of boundaries. Renn tries to keep it together, SBA tries to imagine being anywhere else other than Long Island, and Dubs tries to be as offensive as possible while pretending he knows stuff about sports. Sabres. Bills. West Wing. EJ Manuel is a fucking idiot. Content. I'm so, so sorry....

The Casted Foot - Episode 10: The Spanish Inquisition
Hey we're wrapping up the global football preseason and are kicking it up a notch with some La Liga coverage brought to your earholes by Paul (@pvo78), who apparently took Spanish for 7 years and is thus some kind of Spanish football expert. We talk Premier League as well and discuss Paul's recent allegiance switch. Music from Curtis Mayfield, Cold War Kids, Jurassic 5 and Dilated Peoples. We outchea.

The Casted Foot - Episode 9: Anybody Down With Pol Pot?
Kicking off a second season of this soccer-themed podcast, after a baffling hiatus during a massive soccer tournament this summer, The Barrister is joined by The Defenseman to talk Liverpool, the Premier League, vicious dictators, the Bills (barely acceptable tangential takes), and exclusive information about Liverpool's recent signings. Little known fact: The Defenseman has an uncanny ability to research the back stories of European footballers. Musical fire courtesy of OK Go and RJD2....

CrapTastiMania!
Hosted by Joe from Buffalo Wins, this synergistic podcast is focused on the Bills news of the day - namely Marcell Dareus, Jerry Hughes and their fast cars, and how we feel about #99 given his recent arrests and their closeness in time. We ramble and rant and ultimately get to talking about the future of the Bills and what kind of legacy we're wading through following Ralph Wilson's death. Music from Wu Tang, Bloc Party and Gnarls Barkley. Cheers. - The Barrister

DRAFT SPECIAL SUPER SPECIAL PREVIEW - Bronecast Ep. 6
YO. The NFL Draft is pretty stupid, so it's not that hard to beat, but we may have just crushed it into a million pieces. Dubs, @jambrones and @Boner_Shorts take you for a ride. Embrace it. A mock draft, oral and aural. Except instead of pretending we have any impact on the decisions of a professional football team, we do what we do ... draft a dream band and talk about the music and musicians we adore. It rules.

Episode 44: Nerf Guns and Snowman Erections
Back from the dead, The Scizz joins The Barrister for some delightful conversation wherein the pair take endless potshots at everyone, talk about the pitiful Buffalo hockey club, ponder Donald Trump and the meaning of life, and discuss the Wayans brothers. And other stuff probably. Music from The Jambrones, LCD Soundsytem, Pearl Jam, and Electric Guest

The Casted Foot - Episode 8: Getting to Grey Beard Status
Barrister and Phil (@Mechaphil) talk Premier League and Liverpool and laugh about Vincent Tan and make jokes and then everything gets fucked with technology so our Manchester City-supporting special guest has to wait until next week. It's all a little bit of a mess, but that's typical at this point. Music courtesy of Matt and Kim, DJ Format, Audiomachine and Lauryn Hill.

The Casted Foot - Episode 7: Nine More Cup Finals
Barrister and Phil (@Mechaphil) linked up again to re-hash the joy of winning at Old Trafford and look forward to Liverpool's trip to Cardiff. In the middle of it, we talk about Julian Green committing to the U.S. Men's National Team, FIFA corruption, and the glory of American deliberate indifference. Bonus clip at the end of this massively long episode as we welcome the hottest of takes from Rochester's biggest (only?) Cardiff City supporter, recorded before the game, at halftime, and immediate...

Episode 43: Deadline Day Douchebaggery!
Back with actual Buffalo sports talk, The Barrister, The Outlander and The Commander form a critical mass of Dear God Why Us? Sports and break down what happened with the Sabres over the last few days. Good God, it was messy and beautiful and let's do it again soon. Musical interludes by way of The Jambrones, The Mooney Suzuki, Talib Kweli, Architecture in Helsinki and Basement Jaxx. Throw your hands up.

The Casted Foot - Episode 6: Death by Football
The Barrister here. My boy Phil, a dear friend of the Deeg, and talk Liverpool. You may remember Liverpool from such films as "Smoking Everton Off The Pitch" and "Ruining Arsenal's Universe." A fun one. Music by way of Two Door Cinema Club, The Chemical Brothers and Black Tide. Breathe it all in. Red or Dead.

The Casted Foot - Episode 5: She's Not The Arab Spring
Woo boy, the EPL at Christmastide. I'm exhausted. Joining me to talk about the events, providing the hot fire soccer takes, are Brett (@BLeez17), Peter (@peterberkes) and Ryan (@goosesroost)... each Buffalo fans and each fans of the EPL. Albeit fans of squads in the EPL that deserve to die of cholera. We ramble a lot, we laugh, we curse, and there's music, too. Naughty by Nature, The Black Keys, and The Weakerthans. It's all good fun.

The Casted Foot - Episode 4, Part 2: About as Well as to be Expected
After Barrister and Beardo reveled in red, they opened up the floor to The Deeg's Manchester City supporter, The Outlander, and brought the beloved Peter Berkes on to make sense of his Hotspurs. Berkes is arguably the most famous of Deeg podcast guests that aren't named Jeremy White and/or Nick Mendola, a distinction that seems much less impressive now that it's written out like that. Go figure. The EPL approaches the frantic fixtures of the holidays, and it's the funnest time of the sporting ye...

The Casted Foot - Episode 4, Part 1: Reveling in Some Red
It was a fun weekend in the Premier League. It was a better weekend to be a supporter of the Liverpool Football Club. A stunning win at White Hart Lane, so The Barrister and good old Beardo talk LFC, deconstruct the good times, and laugh at Tottenham like assholes.

A joyous Bills recap is in the works, but in the meantime get some hot music takes in aural fashion as Jeff and Jon give tribute to EJ Manuel and his no huddle offense by breaking down two songs that clock in at under 2 minutes. Recorded before EJ hurried up and laid smack all over the New Jersey Jets, this is a real treat, kids.

A Podcast to be Named Later #1 - Taking Commander's V-Card
Barrister chats with new-ish Deeg member and previously virginal podcaster, The Commander. They talk about the Sabres being terrible, the Bills being fun again, media stuff, soccer (?) and try to keep this short but fail ever so miserably. Whatever, The Commander needed to get his feet wet with something long (giggity), and our podcast hoster hasn't been used in over a month. Lots of music with this one - Ugly Duckiing, Homeboy Sandman, Phil Collins, Gorillaz and 2Pac.

The Casted Foot - Episode 3: United, We Slain
Barrister running solo this week but gets a special guest for the second segment mostly because he hates the sound of his own voice. Liverpool's win over Manchester United is the topic of the day. A boy named Phil gets Barrister all excited, as if he needed any motivation. Music from The Beastie Boys, Daft Punk and Kanye.

The Casted Foot - Episode 2: We're Gonna Have a Party
Be honest, none of you expected us to actually have a second episode of this now incredibly-famous-in-a-very-infintesimally-small-niche-market podcast ever, much less the very next week. If only to prove you wrong, or to allow Barrister one small moment of joy before moving to the suburbs, here is Episode 2. We are, from time to time, and at some times more than others, going to have a party. There will be cake. This week was Liverpool winning 1-0 away at Villa Park. It was good fun. We drank. W...
