The Saints closed out the season with a 19-17 loss to the Falcons but Charles and Ron are thrilled. A loss got the team everything it wanted except another win over the Falcons. Wrapping up a fun season and looking ahead. Our sound engineer Snxwyfish's music is available at linktr.ee/Snxwyfish Socials: Charles Star - bsky.app/profile/ugarles.bsky.social L.

Three game winning streak! Skooks stops by to talk about the last two home wins but mostly L. Ron and Charles get psyched for the future after a 29-6 win over the Jets. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Charles and Ron get stupid after a frustrating game with two very different halves in a 21-17 loss to Miami. We get our own ass bceause we don't have a guest.

The Saints go down hard again, 24-10 to the Falcons. Ron and Charles are losing faith in Kellen Moore. Jason Kirk stops by to get our ass. Skooks is resigned but will keep showing up and taught Charles about merliton. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

It's the bye week so Charles and Ron relax and enjoy the win over the Panthers for another week. Joining them on the pod this week, former Minnesota Vikings punter and current candidate for California State Assembly, Chris Kluwe. We talk about his development as a punter, his career from winning his job to the hazards of making noise about politics and his current campaign to represent an Assembly seat in Orange County on the Democratic line. You can read more about Chris's campaign at https://kluweoc.com Charles Star https://bsky.app/profile/ugarles.bsky.social L.

Well would you look at that! A happy Ron and Charles enjoy the aftermath of a 17-7 win over the division "rival" Carolina Panthers. We don't have a guest this week but that doesn't stop us from getting the ass of our old friends from the For Panthers Only podcast. You can hear the Hannukah episode of It's Christmastown with Charles at https://daveandjebarentmean.libsyn.com/141-the-great-yiddish-bake-off. Unfortunately his Blackout Diaries entry hasn't dropped yet, but we'll post it when it does.

The Saints were humiliated once again, this time 34-10 by the Rams, and Ron and Charles are starting to get tired of it. Nobody was here to get our asses because we have another ex-fan joining us. St. Louis's own Alex Turpin bailed on the team when they bailed on his city but Charles and Alex talked football, losing a team and some moderate reminiscing about Mic Dicta. Plus some news about the offseason for the pod. Listen to Alex's Here's a Guy podcast at https://open.spotify.com/show/7cp80QN8h1aN3zSR6wD6ju Charles Star bsky.app/profile/ugarles.bsky.social L.

Another rough loss, 23-3 to the Tampa Bay Bucs at home. Charles and L. Ron welcome a new Bucs fan to the podcast, comedian Paul Pallotta, who relished the opportunity to rub their noses in it A BIT MUCH. Sadly, no Man in the Dome. You can find all of buy tickets to Paul's "The Benny Winner Show" at The P.I.T. at https://thepit-nyc.com/events/?search_type=event_class&s=benny&mc_series=&mc_venue=all&xd_posttype=any Charles Star bsky.app/profile/ugarles.bsky.social L.

Charles went out to Chicago to watch the Saints play their worst game of the year as they lost 26-14 to the Bears and fell to 1-6. At least he was there with friends. Two of his old buddies from Hostile Witness - Patrick Cosmos and Eric Michel - were able to join Charles at the game and in the "studio" with Ron as well to look back at the game and try to figure out where it all went wrong. Patrick's latest album, Future National Sports, is available on Bandcamp (with the rest of his albums) at https://patrickcosmos.bandcamp.com/album/future-national-sports. Eric doesn't do that sort of thing. Everyone's on Bluesky, though! Charles Star bsky.app/profile/ugarles.bsky.social L.

Another depressing loss for the Saints, this time for the Patriots, but at least L. Ron and Charles get to welcome in the charming Josh Gondelman. Skooks is a breath of fresh air as the Man in the Dome, refusing to let losing get in the way of watching a young team develop in a fun way. Josh is everywhere, including his newsletter, That's Marvelous (https://www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/) and his most recent comedy special, Positive Reinforcement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAvNlgpdKKo). Plus, he cohosts the comedy shows Frankenstein's Baby (https://www.instagram.com/frankenbabynyc/?hl=en) and 'Sup Bro at Union Hall in Park Slope. Thanks for cleaning up the sound, Snxwyfish.

The Saints finally get a W (26-14 over the Giants) and David Roth joins Charles to talk about, well, not the game exactly, but game-adjacent things. L. Ron wasn't able to join the main chat but he was available to talk to Charles and Skooks, our Man in the Dome. And even though he couldn't join the chat, Ron managed to Get Dave's Ass. Plus, Charles lets his bar buddy Alex vent a little. There's a lot of Skattebo going on. You can listen to Dave at The Distraction (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-distraction-a-defector-podcast/id1525039108) or It's Christmastown (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-christmastown/id1407429849) and read his shizz at Defector.com.

A trip to Buffalo went better than expected but in the end it was still a 31-19 loss for our heros. Joining L.

L. Ron and Charles welcome Spike Friedman to the pod after the Seahawks' dominant 44-13 win over the Saints. Nobody had fun, except for Spike, who is enjoying a golden year of Seattle sports.

The Saints lose another one they had in their hands and Truthdig's Jeb Lund joins us to Get Our Ass. Skooks is back as our Man in the Dome as the Saints fall to 0-2 and Who Dat Nation loses control of the Dome to 49ers fans who don't like waiting to pee.
