Non-Spoiler Review for Thunderbolts*, The Last of Us Season 2: Episode 2 and Watchmen! #Thunderbolts* #TheLastOfUs #Watchmen

The full crew is suited up for Episode 118 of *Unsportsmanlike Conduct*—Farace, Tim, Anthony, and Melo (yes, all seven of his favorite teams are represented tonight) are here for the NFL Draft Special, where 98% of the discussion is football, and the other 2% is Melo trying to get Aaron Rodgers inducted into Canton early.NFL Draft Special (aka the night of reckless optimism):The 2025 NFL Draft is live, and the board is full of hype and high-risk quarterback picks. - Cam Ward is likely headed to the Titans, though not everyone agrees he's the guy. - Shedeur Sanders has the most polarizing scouting report since Tebow. - Travis Hunter is expected to go early and play both sides like it's a video game. - Abdul Carter is being tied to the Giants at No. 3—and that means Farace, Tim, and Melo will either start planning the parade or scream into the void. Other names drawing buzz include Jaxson Dart, Tyler Warren, and Ashton Jeanty—some of whom may become stars, others may become trivia answers in 2029.Team Spotlights:- Giants (Farace, Tim, Melo): The draft is make-or-break, and we're expecting a rollercoaster of false hope and bold declarations by the end of Round 1. - Steelers: A QB has to happen, right? Tim's had it with “bridge quarterbacks” and would like an actual foundation. - Browns & Saints: Nobody knows what either team is doing—and that includes them. Anthony has questions and possibly a whiteboard. - Dolphins (Anthony): Holding it down solo for Miami fans, Anthony will try to stay calm as the Fins consider using a Day 2 pick on a punter with "intangibles."With Melo locked in, Farace nervously hopeful, Tim already yelling about value picks, and Anthony clinging to logic in a room full of chaos, this is the NFL Draft preview you didn't know you needed.Episode 118 is a front-row seat to football's biggest night of mayhem—where picks are made, careers are launched, and someone definitely overdrafts a guy named Colton. Tune in.

Wrestlemania recap. RAW after Mania

The Put it in the Books Show S8 E3: Citi's Rockin', Mets Are Rollin', and April Slumps Are Long Gone It's time for another episode of The Put it in the Books Show, and for once, we're not opening with doom, gloom, or one of Keith's spreadsheets ranking sacrifice bunts by exit velocity. The Mets are 18-7, 12-1 at home, and—for now—hold the best record in baseball. Yes, the best. We verified it three times because even Farace didn't believe it, and he's had the Mets winning the World Series in his head since January. Since our last show, the Mets have ripped off seven straight wins, sweeping both the Cardinals and the Phillies at Citi Field. Francisco Lindor appears to have finally left his annual April slump in the rearview, which is great news—especially for Keith, who tried to DFA Lindor's glove on-air two weeks ago. The offense is waking up, the pitching has stayed lights out, and somehow, the vibes are as high as Rodriguez's blood pressure during a mound visit. McNeil and Alvarez are about to return, and the roster is about to get a little tighter. The guys will discuss how the Mets manage all this depth and speculate on who might be catching the express train to Syracuse—not everyone can stay when reinforcements arrive, even if they just learned everyone's name in the clubhouse. Also on the docket: Citi Field is rocking, with 36,000 strong showing up on a Wednesday afternoon. Either Mets fans are all-in, or half of Queens was just “working from home” that day. We'll preview the four-game wraparound series against the Nationals, followed by a return home to face the Diamondbacks. Join us for a show packed with positivity, pitching dominance, dry humor, and just enough overthinking to remind you this is a Mets show. It's Season 8, Episode 3. Let's put it in the books!

Season 29 Episode 30: "Drop It Like It's Hot"Things are heating up as DONMEGA returns for Episode #175 of Am I On The Air?, breaking down everything you need to know from the world of TV and movies for the week of April 9–15, 2025.

Farace, Tim, and Anthony are back for Episode 117 of Unsportsmanlike Conduct, while Melo (aka Dave) is out—reportedly sidelined by allergies, though it's far more likely he's just off somewhere defending Aaron Rodgers on Reddit.The NBA Play-In Tournament is wrapping up and has already taken casualties—Bulls and Kings, thanks for showing up. The Magic and Warriors have secured the 7-seeds in the East and West. The remaining spots are up for grabs with:Heat at Hawks for the East's 8-seedMavs vs Grizzlies for the West's 8-seedExpect takes on who survives, who folds, and who gets the honor of being gentleman-swept by a 1-seed.With the NBA and NHL playoffs set to officially launch this weekend, Tim is preparing for his annual hockey thesis, Farace is nervously pretending the Knicks aren't stressing him out (they absolutely are), and Anthony will be watching it all from a safe, non-Knick-fan distance.The NFL Draft is around the corner, and we're diving into the final mocks from Mel Kiper and Field Yates—looking at the top 10 and beyond. Names like Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, and Shedeur Sanders are floating around, and you can bet the crew will debate who's legit, who's overhyped, and which GM is about to turn a fanbase into chaos. Expect wild projections, bold predictions, and at least one hot take that will not age well.And yes… it wouldn't be a week without an Aaron Rodgers update. Now 41 years old and apparently still undecided, Rodgers is reportedly open to playing for the Steelers or Vikings—maybe for $10 million, maybe for enlightenment. While Farace, Tim, and Anthony take turns mocking his entire vibe, Melo remains the lone man on Earth still giving him the benefit of the doubt. We're not saying he's wrong—we're just saying he's alone.All that and more in Episode 117—where the postseason drama is building, the draft boards are shaking, and Aaron Rodgers is still trying to decide between shotgun formation and yoga retreat.

After a 3-3 road trip through the land of transplanted teams and lakes with too many names, The Put it in the Books Show is back with its second episode of Season 8! Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are on deck, while Producer Joe takes the night off—probably still recovering from his scouting trip to find the best hot dog stand at Target Field.The Mets head back to Citi Field with an 11-7 record, a team ERA of 2.38 (best in baseball), and an offense that continues to hit like it's allergic to the month of April. They're batting .219 as a team (21st in MLB), which somehow looks worse when you realize half of the team's errors belong to Francisco Lindor, who apparently wanted to make sure fans stayed warm by keeping the gloves moving. But are Mets fans overreacting to the defensive struggles of an elite shortstop, or should we expect cleaner play from a guy getting paid like a defensive anchor?In center field, Jose Siri is hurt—again. So who should get the majority of the playing time? The crew debates whether the next man up is the answer or just a placeholder until someone actually hits .250.And in what can only be described as the most Mets thing ever, Francisco Alvarez homered in a rehab game, then got hit on the exact same hand he broke. Luckily, he's going to be okay—but is the universe just messing with us at this point?Plus: do injuries sometimes fast track the future? With younger players being thrown into the fire earlier than expected, are we getting a sneak preview of what the next generation of Mets might look like? And should we be concerned that said sneak preview includes a .219 team average?We'll also preview the upcoming seven-game homestand against the Cardinals and Phillies, which means we're about to find out whether the Mets are contenders, pretenders, or just really good at ruining Philly fans' weeks.Join us for all that, plus dry humor, overreactions, and Rodriguez trying to claim he predicted this pitching dominance all along. It's Season 8, Episode 2. Let's put it in the books!

The 2025 regular season is underway, and *The Put it in the Books Show* returns for Season 8 with a fresh batch of overreactions, mild panic, and… an actual winning record? That's right, the Mets are off to an 8-4 start after a strong 5-1 homestand against the Blue Jays and the Marlins—who somehow still have a team and a TV deal, much to Farace's disappointment. Producer Joe is likely out tonight (probably scouting hot dog stands or auditioning for a Citi Field hype video), so Farace, Rodriguez, and Keith are left to dig into a team that's **pitching like champs and hitting like they forgot it's not still March**. The Mets are rocking a league-best **2.10 ERA**, but hitting a **painful .210 as a team**, which means the offense currently consists of "hope and vibes." Meanwhile, the much-hyped youth movement—**Vientos, Baty, and Acuña**—have all started ice cold, and not just because of the Citi Field wind chill. It's been rough, and if you're wondering whether Rodriguez is ready to bench all three, tune in for what may be the first of many impassioned rants. We've got **injury updates** on Manaea, Alvarez, and McNeil, who are all missing time for a variety of very Mets reasons, and a preview of the upcoming road trip to face the **Sacramento A's (yes, that's still weird to say)** and the Twins. The crowds at Citi Field have been surprisingly strong despite the arctic temps, proving that Mets fans will show up and suffer—just like the hosts of this show. So grab a jacket, lower your batting average expectations, and tune in for another episode filled with stats, sarcasm, and the kind of unfiltered Mets talk that no one asked for but everyone secretly needs. Let's put it in the books!

The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #97 on PopCulturePros (or #182 if you've somehow listened to every single one)Title: Brazil NutsThis week, Fred, Parker, and Allan return with another episode that has absolutely no direction—and that's exactly why you'll love it. From the great honeydew melon debate (spoiler: it's still trash) to tales of picking up strangers that definitely should've ended with a Lifetime movie disclaimer, this one's got it all.We're also tackling life's real challenges—like the soul-crushing joy of fixing broken appliances—and dreaming up business ideas that range from questionable to borderline illegal.

Ready to tune in? Press play and let's talk about what's hot on screens right now.

Episode 116 of *Unsportsmanlike Conduct* brings you something rare—a full-strength lineup. Farace, Tim, Anthony, and yes, even Melo, are all expected to show up at the same time. That alone should qualify as breaking news.NFL free agency continues to deliver, with teams making moves that range from brilliant to completely unhinged. The guys break down the biggest signings so far, including Sam Darnold getting a massive deal in Seattle, Justin Fields taking his talents to New York (Jets edition), and Stefon Diggs leaving Houston to sign with the Patriots—because Bill Belichick is gone, but confusion lives on. Meanwhile, the Giants decided to roll with a quarterback room of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and Farace is absolutely thrilled in the way someone is thrilled to find out their favorite pizza spot closed permanently. Tim is enjoying every second of it, Anthony is pretending there's a grand plan, and Melo is just trying to make sure no one says anything good about the Cowboys.MLB Opening Day has arrived, which means it's time for irrational optimism, overreactions, and five-hour games. Farace is already preparing for the Mets' annual implosion, Tim has a Yankee World Series countdown clock running, and Melo is giving the Marlins until next week to show signs of life. Anthony, meanwhile, continues to distance himself from a sport that seems to get more annoying every year.In NBA news, it's not the standings getting headlines—it's LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith, who are now locked in a delightfully ridiculous feud. After Stephen A. claimed he would've “swung” on LeBron during a courtside interaction, LeBron responded by posting footage of Stephen A.'s boxing workout—complete with laugh-track energy. Shannon Sharpe tried to be the adult in the room, but we all know this drama isn't going anywhere. The crew weighs in, mostly to add fuel to the fire.And yes, there's a little NFL Draft talk too. Mel Kiper released his latest mock draft, and the guys will glance at the top 10 picks and react in the most responsible way possible: with gut feelings, general confusion, and complete disbelief over which quarterbacks keep skyrocketing. The Giants might take one—because what's a third quarterback when you've already got two wildcards?Join us for Episode 116, where NFL chaos reigns, MLB pretends everything's fine, and media beefs are somehow more entertaining than half the actual games being played. #NFL #MLB #NBA #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros

Spring Training is officially over, and we are just two days away from Opening Day. On this week's episode of The Put it in the Books Show, the full crew is back together as Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) get ready for the season to begin.With Opening Day around the corner, the guys dive into the starting rotation. Who's locked in, who still has something to prove, and what could go right or wrong as the season gets underway?There's also some concern with Edwin Díaz's velocity being down this spring. Should Mets fans be worried, or is this just a typical slow ramp-up for a closer? The crew debates what this means for the bullpen and if there's anything to read into before the season starts.And with the season about to begin, it's time for bold predictions for 2025—both for the Mets and across the league. Who's winning divisions? Who's taking home hardware? And most importantly, are the Mets set up to make a deep October run?It's also good vibes all around, with the Mets landing on the cover of Sports Illustrated and Citi Field winning Best Ballpark Food for the third straight year. The food is elite, the excitement is high, and the countdown to Opening Day is almost over.Tune in as the guys break it all down with the usual mix of insight, humor, and maybe even a rare Producer Joe hot take. Let's put it in the books!

Harley Quinn Season 5: Episode 10, Daredevil Born Again: Episode 4, From Hell! #HarleyQuinn #DaredevilBornAgain

The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #96 on PopCulturePros (or #181 if you're smarter than dumb)Title: Smarter Than DumbThis week, the crew proves once again that wisdom is optional as they spiral into a whirlwind of bad ideas, questionable ethics, and deeply unnecessary hypotheticals.We kick things off by tackling the big issues—like how far is too far with Halloween costumes, and why blackface is still something we apparently need to explain to people. (Spoiler: Don't.)Then it's on to the joys of algorithm-fueled doomscrolling, where Fred shares the latest unhinged internet videos that somehow found their way into his feed. If you've ever watched a squirrel ride a unicycle while a guy screams about flat Earth theories—congrats, you've already previewed this segment.But wait, there's more! Listener questions roll in, and they're as ridiculous as ever—like would you trade ten years of your life for instant wealth? Is that even a dilemma or just Tuesday?From awkward social situations to existential nonsense, Episode #96 has everything you didn't ask for but won't stop listening to anyway. Tune in now—it's dumber than smart, but smarter than dumb.

Season 29 Episode 26: "Rage With The Machines"Strap in—DONMEGA is back with Episode #171 of Am I On The Air?, your go-to source for everything movies and TV!

Spring Training rolls on, and so does *The Put it in the Books Show*! This week, the full crew is back together as Rodriguez makes his triumphant return from the IL—though he insists he was just "day-to-day." Join Farace, Keith, and Producer Joe (still lurking behind the wall) as they break down the latest Mets news with the usual mix of dry humor, analysis, and a little well-earned skepticism. First up: injuries. Sean Manaea is progressing after his oblique injury, while Jeff McNeil is hurt again—something Rodriguez blames on too much golf. The big question: does this injury cost McNeil his job? With Brett Baty now set to platoon with Luisangel Acuña at second base, the Mets may be looking at a future without their scrappy contact hitter. On the mound, David Peterson continues to step up, making a strong case for himself in the rotation. Meanwhile, the Mets have named Clay Holmes their Opening Day starter, a move that could be brilliant or a complete wildcard. With Tylor Megill and Paul Blackburn looking to solidify roles as well, the Mets' pitching depth is getting its first real test. And let's talk culture. Is this the best team culture the Mets have ever had? With stars, depth, and a front office that actually knows what it's doing, the guys will debate whether this is truly a new era in Queens or if we're all just drinking the Spring Training Kool-Aid. Tune in as the crew dissects the latest Mets developments, welcomes Rodriguez back into the fold, and gets ready for Opening Day. The countdown is on—let's put it in the books!

It's Marvel vs. Mermaids, and somehow, nobody wins.Expect plenty of off-the-rails commentary, wildly incorrect plot guesses, and the kind of analysis you can only get from two guys who confuse vibranium with seafood.

The Put it in the Books Show '25 Spring Training Special #2: Mets Rankings, Early Standouts & Alvarez Concerns Spring Training is rolling along, and so is *The Put it in the Books Show*! This week, Farace, Keith, and the ever-mysterious Producer Joe (still comfortably stationed behind the wall) take the reins once again while Rodriguez remains on the IL—or maybe he's just dodging Spring Training like a veteran pitcher with a sore arm. First up: Francisco Alvarez. The young catcher's situation is causing some early spring concerns, and we'll break down what it means for the Mets moving forward and if the team needs to start considering backup plans. Next, we'll dive into MLB Network's “Top 10 Right Now” rankings and check out which Mets made the cut at their respective positions. Are these rankings fair, or are we looking at another case of the national media disrespecting the orange and blue? Finally, we'll take a closer look at how some Mets are performing this spring. Who's hot? Who's cold? And most importantly, which overreactions can we start making immediately? With Rodriguez out, Producer Joe behind the wall, and Keith likely bringing an Excel sheet of unnecessary stats, this episode is guaranteed to have it all.

Was it a prank? Is Fred okay? The answers are murky, but the laughter is real.Next, we dive into the bizarre world of emotional support animals. Monkeys? Parrots? That one guy with the emotional support alligator? Nothing is off-limits as we brainstorm the weirdest pets and most ridiculous dog names this side of sanity.

Farace, Tim, and possibly Anthony return for Episode 115, where the latest NFL storylines take center stage. Matthew Stafford trade rumors are heating up, and the Giants, Raiders, and others are reportedly in the mix. Would Stafford be the answer for a Giants team desperately in need of a real quarterback, or is this just another offseason pipe dream? Farace, naturally, is all in on the idea, while Tim isn't sure it actually makes sense. The NFL's ongoing debate over banning the Eagles' infamous Tush Push is gaining steam, with arguments on both sides. Tim may try to play devil's advocate, but Farace won't hear a single positive word about anything Philly-related. Meanwhile, the league is rolling out a new first-down measurement system using *technology* instead of the iconic chains. Will this improve the game, or will we miss the drama of refs fumbling with a chain link? Abdul Carter's draft stock took a hit when he was advised not to have foot surgery, despite early concerns. Could this decision affect his chances of going No. 1? The guys break down the latest draft buzz, including which teams might be overthinking everything—again. On the QB carousel, the real wild card is Aaron Rodgers. The Jets are done with him, but where does he go next? Does he actually have anything left, or is this just another overhyped saga with a disappointing ending? Expect plenty of debate, especially from Farace, who's never held back on his Rodgers takes. Shifting to the NBA, the guys take a quick look at the standings and contenders. The Celtics are rolling, which means Tim is happy, and the Knicks are making noise, which means Farace is cautiously optimistic. Will either admit the other's team is good? Absolutely not. Finally, they spin the QB Wheel—a completely scientific method of deciding where free agent quarterbacks land. Will Tim get stuck defending an absolutely ridiculous outcome? Will Farace reject any result that benefits the Cowboys or Commanders? Will Anthony even show up for this nonsense? Tune in and find out. #NFL #NBA #NFLDraft #AbdulCarter #AaronRodgers #MatthewStafford #Unsportsmanlike #UnsportsmanlikeConduct #PopCulturePros

Spring Training is here, Mets baseball is back, and so is The Put it in the Books Show! Farace and Keith are holding it down this week while Producer Joe and Rodriguez conveniently take the night off—probably recovering from the stress of the offseason or just avoiding the work like a veteran skipping Spring Training drills.The Mets are kicking off 2025 with high expectations, and why wouldn't they? The team made the biggest splash of the offseason, signing Juan Soto to a 15-year, $765 million deal, proving once again that Steve Cohen has pockets deeper than a Citi Field rain delay. Meanwhile, Pete Alonso flirted with free agency, but in the end, the Polar Bear is back where he belongs, signing a two-year, $54 million deal—because what's a Mets playoff run without a few Alonso moonshots?Of course, no Mets season would be complete without an injury update, and Frankie Montas is the early winner of the “First Guy on the IL” award after a lat strain is set to sideline him for a significant chunk of time. Because why wait until April for rotation problems when you can start early?And then there's Steve Cohen, who isn't exactly thrilled that the Mets finished 18th in attendance last season, despite a playoff run that had Citi Field rocking. The guys will break down his comments and what it means for the fan base moving forward—because when an owner spends like Cohen, he expects the seats to be filled.With a new season, big names, and unfinished business from last year's playoffs, the excitement is back in Queens. Tune in as we break it all down, crack some jokes, and get ready for another wild ride with the Mets. Baseball is back, and the fun is just beginning! #Mets #PiitB

Welcome to Episode 114 of *Unsportsmanlike Conduct*, where Farace, Tim, and Anthony are back, and nobody is happy about this Super Bowl result (except, unfortunately, Eagles fans). Farace is actively campaigning for a media blackout, Tim is equally miserable, and Anthony is just glad to be here for once. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers has been kicked to the curb by the Jets, Farace and Anthony are thrilled, Jimmy Butler finally got traded, and NBA trade madness has Anthony finally showing up to weigh in. Let's get into it. Super Bowl Recap: Eagles Win, and Everyone is Miserable Super Bowl 59 is in the books, and Philadelphia is celebrating—which means Farace and Tim are not. The Chiefs lose, and the world is worse for it. Farace, who actually likes Mahomes and the Chiefs, is devastated. Tim, also a Giants fan, now has to endure Eagles fans getting even louder—expect rants. Anthony, being the responsible one, will try to keep things balanced, but really, what's the point? Brady vs. Mahomes: The GOAT Debate (and Why Farace is Already Over It) Is Mahomes closing the GOAT gap after another Super Bowl appearance? Tim will try to have a reasonable discussion. Anthony will look at the actual numbers. Farace will violently reject any argument in Brady's favor and remind everyone that Mahomes is infinitely more likable. Way Too Early Super Bowl 60 Predictions We're already making wildly premature picks for next year. Farace is still riding with Mahomes—because, obviously. Tim will try to be logical, then overthink it completely. Anthony will make one actually solid pick, but no one will listen. Aaron Rodgers: Thanks for Nothing, Now Get Out The Jets are officially moving on from Aaron Rodgers, and the Farace-Anthony Anti-Rodgers Fan Club couldn't be happier. Tim, who doesn't particularly care for Rodgers but also doesn't waste energy on hating him, will try to add perspective. It won't work. Farace and Anthony will pile on, roasting Rodgers for doing literally nothing for the Jets except collect paychecks and talk about darkness retreats. Who's next for the Jets? Does it even matter? Jimmy Butler Traded to the Warriors After weeks of drama, Jimmy Butler has finally been traded—to the Golden State Warriors. The guys react to one of the biggest moves of the NBA season. - Does this make the Warriors an instant title favorite? - Will Butler thrive in Golden State, or will it just be another chapter in his drama-filled career? - Farace will still find a reason to slander the Heat, even though they're finally rid of him. MLB Free Agency: Alonso Stays, Bregman Moves, Spring Training is Here! Pete Alonso re-signs with the Mets! Farace breathes a sigh of relief and totally knew this was coming (sure, buddy). Alex Bregman signs with the Red Sox. Tim shrugs, because the Yankees will still be better. Pitchers & catchers report soon! It's officially time to overreact to Spring Training results. Join us for Episode 114, where NFL heartbreak, Super Bowl rants, NBA trades, and MLB relief collide for another round of wild takes, unnecessary arguments, and Farace and Tim suffering together over an Eagles championship.
