Justin Herbert is really good. Niners/Raiders was unexpectedly awesome. I really want to beat Seattle in Week 18. 

Merry Christmas. The Broncos are really bad... or are we just really good? But why are we not in the playoffs? Also, who really won the Nickelodeon MVP?

I'm still here. And i'm freezing. The Rams have now been mathematically eliminated (THE WORST KIND OF ELIMINATION). Lastly, thoughts about the Niners highly possible Super Bowl run (no jinx), Hurts winning MVP, and Lions' success.

LET'S GET BAKED.

Why do we give gifts on Christmas? I miss being a kid. Also, talking about Ja Morant and Kpop.

Los Angeles Rams legend Bobby Wagner played one hell of a game against the Seattle Seahawks. Also, another outstanding week of Tutu Atwell. We lost.

Sorry America, we're injured. Let's talk Bryce Perkins and Tutu Atwell. Also, the potential GOAT-ness of Mahomes and Kelce. 

Can you speak Tagalog? 

We are really sucking extremely hard now. The same ol sorry Rams, cept with a shiny Super Bowl ring. Poor us.

If you pushed my ladder violently to the ground, we are going to fight.

In part 2 of talking about my Philippines trip. Going over cultural differences that may surprise the average American. And is the Philippines a good destination for Americans? Salamat.

Oh no, my Rams suck again. 

An important topic. Let's analyze the recent events and the importance of fighting antisemitism.

Is this season over for our Rams? How many times do I have to watch this terrible o-line play? Did the defense lose this game? 

I'm back from the Philippines. Another fun experience overseas, besides the airplane...

You guessed it, we lost to the Niners again (in the regular season). And they have a new guy that does stuff, a lot of stuff.

It's that time of the year to get delusional about my beloved Sixers.

Am I getting to old for kpop? Don't care. These new groups are too awesome. Some thoughts on NewJeans and NMIXX. 

I love Paramore. You should too. This is why Paramore rules. Get it? ... it's the album name

Why can't we beat the Niners?... (in the regular season)

For everybody grinding, you need to learn how to give yourself credit.

I dedicate this week's episode to all my short kings out there. Ben Skowronek might be the best FB in the NFL. Tua might be the MVP.

My fetti's on the injured list. For a good reason. I'm back.

We almost got 28-3'd. Oh my god. Also discussing the arrival of Tua Tagovailoa, Herbert/Mahomes, Trey Lance's injury, and other NFL stuff from week 2.

We back... and WE STILL CHAMPS. Win or lose, we still CHAMPS. Let's go over Josh Allen dismantling any hope we had at a repeat. Please come back OBJ, we need you.jfmoseknowsjfmbiid

Follow me to freshman year of college, where everything went wrong. Enjoy

If the Bay wins, I win. The Warriors win the championship again. Why this is my favorite Warriors team. Why I was really wrong (sorry Draymond). Why the Celtics lost. Why is Crypto dying. WHY.

Good ol Bay Area. Reacting to the Chesa Boudin recall. Asian American voters. California views on liberal politics. Plus, Stephen Curry seeking another championship for the Bay Area.
