Does for podcasts what Ryan Tannehill did for the quarterback position. @Podcast_AF
BLACK LIVES MATTER: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/ The Killers dropped a new album. It's called "Imploding The Mirage." It's good? Well, buddy, listen and you'll find out how good John and Fitz think it is. Also, our fantasy league is back and you won't BELIEVE who's joining!!!!!!!! (It's Fitz's lady friend.) Here's the link to the outro music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyaAuh9_9K8 BLACK LIVES MATTER: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
A review of Taylor Swift's newest album is given* Also, the fellas did some White Guy Stuff; they tried guessing what each other did. Did someone say that Bill Belichick and Cam Newton won't get along? Did another make their own Chex mix? Who's to say? BLACK LIVES MATTER: blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# *DISCLAIMER: By that, we mean that Fitz gave a summary of what he did not listen to, which was the new Taylor Swift album. The new Taylor Swift album was not actually reviewed on this episode. Thanks for listening tho!!!!!
We did an entire episode with one person on the toilet and no one noticed. Things are Good, such as drive-in movies, the new Killers song, and the new Phoebe Bridgers album. Things are also bad, such as the world itself, Twitter, and also the new Phoebe Bridgers album. A real hodge podge of topics in this one, folks.
We discuss the new album from The 1975, while also tying it into Mike Posner, somehow???? Also, considering the technical difficulties we had last week, we made this a double episode! Sammy Watkins was on to something, and Fitz did his impression of those side characters from Monsters, Inc. Clearly an episode with 4598 different things going on.
Quarantine hasn't gotten to John and Fitz...yet. Long hair, Rock 'n Rollercoaster, the resurrection of certain things, and more on this episode. It was a real grab bag of topics, folks.
Fitz and John were joined by Chris, AKA @dunkiniced, for a live commentary of The Mouse's classic film "A Goofy Movie." That's it. That's the pod. Opening and closing songs are "I2I" from the film, sung by Tevin Campbell. This podcast episode is commentary, which falls under fair use. So, please don't sue us.
After the evergreen episode, Fitz and John are back and are ready to annoy you off the bat with fantasy football talk. South Dakota had an idea. Disney+ is great, and Baby Yoda is adorable. Twitter was talking about their top 10 artists/bands; right up our alley. Boston Calling announced two (2) headliners, and Fitz started the MCU. Oh, yeah, and Coldplay has a new album this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coldplay released new music so we decided to start season 4 of Podcast AF. You're welcome.
March Madness has come and gone, and we here are Podcast AF figured we'd corner the market on April brackets.

After having a breakup that would even make The Eagles look like best friends (we actually just had busy schedules due to real life happening after college), we were offered millions of dollars to reluctantly get back into the podcast game (we actually just texted each other). We spoke about the new trailers for Toy Story 4 and Detective Pikachu, The Kansas–Nebraska Act, Trump at Disney World, Lev Bell, Wine Wednesday, and more. We didn't actually talk about The Kansas–Nebraska Act, but in case you were wondering it allowed Kansas and Nebraska to decide if they were cool with slavery in like 1850 when the Missouri Compromise prohibited slavery north of some certain line. Big prelude to the Civil War. Now that you know that, enjoy the pod.
John and Brendan sit down for one last time before they head off to the real world.
John reviews "Love, Simon." Slight spoilers toward the end, there is ample warning.
A full day day behind on NFL free agency, all to talk about today was the three big QB contract: Kirk Cousins, Sam Bradford, and Case Keenum. *If Justin Pugh signs with the Cardinals, it happened after I recorded this. DISCLAIMER: It's just a silly sport :D
Sorry about this but some of the entertainment related topics for today were shelved for later in the week due to the asinine amount of things that happened in the NFL today, and it's not even free agency yet. I've been Nor'easter-ed out of the WEEI offices tomorrow so I had to bang through these today since Wednesday will likely be another one of these except players will have signed. Thursday may be the same thing. Friday I will talk about TV and music I promise.
- Browns Trades, theory - Nintendo direct - Super Smash Bros. for Switch - Muse
- Hockey on sports radio - Mike Florio - "Marvel" - NFL Combine - "Everything Sucks" - Giants defense - Tease of 3-song runs
Our pre-Super Bowl episode. Fitz continues to cheat on John by appearing on other podcasts. John had a wild time working behind the scenes at WEEI as all hell broke loose this past week regarding Tom vs. Time. Weezer has announced a release date for the Black Album. Blockbuster trade in the NFL. The Grammy's were horrible once again. The Two Bills is going to flip the rap game on it's head.
Pop music has been about butts for 20 years, so why do people only now think it's all the same? Lord Huron has another strange marketing strategy for their new album, one of us has been accused of looking like Nick Foles, and Fitz needs a haircut.
- CHAPTER 2 - We're changing our sound. Recap of The Killers concert, an erotic release of NFL information, and a game of catchup with the last month of our lives.
OUR 50TH EPISODE SPECIAL! In honor of 50 episodes of Podcast AF, we gave out 50 AFies to 50 lucky winners who did big things this year! We drop those in throughout the episode, in between our reactions to the FCC vote, the Disney/21st Century Fox merger, the Boston Globe ESPN story, another famous night on the town, a mini-Boys Club, a Star Wars segment, and the future of journalism. And very importantly... a Podcast AF state of the union. A behind the curtain look at our lives moving forward. Groundbreaking stuff. Oh AND we give out our album of the year :] HERE'S TO CHAPTER 2 AND THE NEXT 50!
SPOTIFY YEAR IN REVIEW PT II ELECTRIC BOOGALOO: the sequel to one of our best episodes form last year, we (rather accurately) guess the songs and artists from each others' Spotify Year's in Review. Other than that, we recap our Thursday night trivia, and talk about Russia being booted from the Olympics. There's also some breaking news within the comic book movie community. Finally, we give an oral walkthrough of "The Room" in anticipation of the release of "The Disaster Artist."
Probably the most fun we've had on the show: in-studio interview with Katie Earl and Colin Dieden from The Mowgli's starts at 19:00. We talked mostly about dog names, Adam Sandler, other bands, and a slew of things that have nothing to do with their music. Before that we recapped the John Mulaney and Bleachers show, and after we wet the Boys' Club beak with some Eli Manning talk. Later one we caught up on some news stories as well as U2's new album and Noel Gallagher's take on books. ALERT: WE ARE APPROACHING OUR 50TH EPI!
The debate to end all debates: who's better, Beyoncé, Swift, or Bieber? But before that, we give ourselves a pat on the back, give out our citizen of the year award, talk about Sean Hannity v. Keurig, and breakdown the Star Wars Battlefront II debacle.
We review Taylor Swift's new album. But before that: Update on our sponsor WWII Trivia Roy Halladay Finn Wolfhard Louis CK Twitter Update Thor: Ragnarok Killers Tour After the show, we determined this to be a top five episode of Podcast AF of the 21st century. We hope you enjoy your stay.
John and Nudes review Blade Runner: 2049 and Stranger Things Season 2. Blade Runner 2049 no spoilers out of the gate. Blade Runner 2049 spoilers at 9:15. W/ update at 23:48. Stranger Things spoiler-free at 26:46 Stranger Things spoilers at 33:16.
John tried to steal signals from an opposing youth football team. Fitz goes on a rant about people pretending like it's Christmas time already. Jack is here. Trump's Twitter was deleted. Kevin Spacey is a lunatic. New music from Weezer, Beck, Noel Gallagher and U2.
AGENDA FREE EPISODE! This basically means we didn't have time to "plan" topics and essentially recapped the last week of our lives while also going on tangents. Enjoy =]
We were sitting in the radio room doing something completely unrelated but I had a funny story about something funny I said so I decided to hit record and wah-lah, a podcast is born.
We review the Killers' 5th studio album while we tally up the votes for the question that swept the nation: "IS LADY GAGA HOT?"
THE LAYDEES are in to discuss shenanigans and have a VOGON POETRY EXTRAVAGANZA! Also quite a bit about dolphin noises. Find the playlist on Spotify "Vogon Poetry AF"
THERE'S NO MORE SPORTS ON THE SHOW (not planned, anyways). As a result we recount Nudes robbing John of his sign glory, the Losers' Club founds the Front Porch Club, Lenny Dykstra releases a statement on feminism and we revisit some of our playlists.
We tell drinking stories now I guess. We unveiled two new segments this week and talked about Game of Thrones and music. That happened off the air too but the show is how we actually talk to each other. Cool.
In our longest episode to date and probably ever, we determined that all 90 minutes of this was good so we kept all of it. The first half hour recounts the prior day/night's events and then we actually get to stuff we had planned. Fired through some NFL stories before checking in on Alex Jones' latest escapade, had a light-hearted conversation about oatmeal raisin cookies, recounted our experience at Coldplay (with a special interview) and then talked about music a lot like always. Thanks for listenin' folks :D
Part II of our Ireland Week celebration except it didn't go as planned. But we still had one of our best episodes to date. In this entertainment edition, we launch the Vogon Poetry playlist, talk about the death of Chester Bennington, we had a Twitter fight with one of the most passionate fan bases ever, talk about the new Killers song and tour, Foster The People's new album, album four update from New Politics, and then we swing it to movies and TV to talk about the Game of Thrones season so far, Dunkirk, and Comic-Con.
In this Ireland Week edition of the podcast, we welcome guest Cian Fahey, author of the 2017 Quarterback Catalogue available from PreSnapReads.com. He doesn't give a shit and comes on with the small fish. We talk about his hate for Bono, Ryan Tannehill's breakout season, Tom Brady's playoff performance, why Blake Bortles sucks, how good Colin Kaepernick actually is, and finish with a game of "Guess That Backup QB," Post-interview topics include IR Week, Kyrie Irving, and we attempted to talk about some Red Sox and NHL but a certain movie reference sent the end of the show off the rails.
Nudes McConaughey leaves us for a month so we have a quick chat about Spider-Man: Homecoming (spoiler free - 6:27, spoilers - 15:30), a full spoiler discussion of Wonder Woman (15:30) and a spoiler-free discussion of War For The Planet of the Apes, which we saw right before recording.
In this inaugural meeting of the Losers' Club we get away from our roots and talk about the Red Sox, the Golden Knights, the NHL expansion draft and free agency, and lightly touch upon NBA free agency. The internet has found a new way to culturally appropriate SpongeBob, and we get back to our roots with the announcement of the SNES Classic. We finally get around to the onslaught of music that's been released in the last three weeks, and we update the Podcast AF Summah BOPPAHS playlist. Twitter: @Podcast_AF IG: @podcastasfuck
