Everything's coming up podcast! While The Simpsons is an American animated TV institution, the ultra-long running season usually only gets praised for it's early-to-mid '90s seasons. For this episode, Spike Friedman and Jason Baxter swing into Springfield and defend the show's late '90s/early '00s tween years. We deep dive into conversations about Homer's madness, the show's sentimentality shift, George Meyer, 9/11 prognostication, digital animation, Snoopy blogging, and more!
This week we are joined by return guest Spike Friedman to talk about redlining and housing discrimination in the valley.
With a new Baseball Hall of Fame class arriving, it's time to discuss a player who won't make it on his first year of eligibility - A-Rod. The decorated MVP and All-Star shortstop and third basemen for the Seattle Mariners, Texas Rangers, and New York Yankees became one of the most reviled athletes in sports despite putting up astounding numbers. Spike Friedman returns to the pod to argue that Alex Rodriguez is underappreciated, anyone who hates him is an idiot, and that A-Rod is stealthily a working-class hero.
It's NFL training camp season, and with Tim Tebow attempting an improbable comeback as a tight end for the Jags, it felt right to look back at his magical/improbable/dumb/silly 2011 season as quarterback for the Denver Broncos. Seth makes the case that Tebow is better than most remember, should've gotten more chances, actually was more fun than Peyton Manning, and that low expectation moments lead to peak sports joy. Sometimes football writer Spike Friedman rejoins the huddle to ponder if Tebow was proto-Josh Allen and to make sure we don't forget that Adam Gase is, in fact, a monster.
Sacramento, The Olympics, Pig Farming, and FINALLY someone agrees with me about Male Friendship.
Much like one of Stefon's hottest club picks, the Wachowskis' Jupiter Ascending has it all: Toliet queens, dog men on intergalactic rollerblades, Russian slobs, extinction events, and Eddie Redmayne screaming his silly little heart out! This week, Spike Friedman ventures from the streets of Chicago to the refinery inside Jupiter's Great Red Spot to save not only this space opera's reputation, but perhaps... humanity itself?!?
As promised and threatened, Andrew and Spike did a bonus episode on NBAers that played their high school basketball in the San Fernando Valley. This is an episode for almost no one, which is why it needed to exist. Deep historical analysis of Gilbert Arenas, Jordan Farmar, The Collins Twins, The Holiday Brothers, and more!
This week we head back to Sherman Oaks and talk about the Moorpark Avenue Shopping Mall District with our guest Spike Friedman! (Journalist and Community Organizer) Mogo's! Dr. Blue Jeanns! Pineapple Hill! Baby Corn! Below is a link to some of Spike's work! https://medium.com/@spikefriedman
Corbs talks to Spike about Bob's Burgers, the end of America
Corbin speaks to Spike about Diane Feinstein, other deeply frustrating stuff.
Finally, an episode of a podcast where two guys go through Jim Carey's filmography movie by movie and determine if the it would have been improved if Philip Seymour Hoffman was playing the role instead.
Spike Friedman from Knock L.A. joins Jenn and Jeff to unpack all the bizarre propositions on the California ballot. Plus: tech companies' $200 million war against labor, the Big Lebowski's tax loophole, and the dystopic nightmare of a justice system determined by an algorithm.

Spike talks about times he pissed
A day-by-day recap of another stunning week in LA. Plus, guest SPIKE FRIEDMAN, an organizer with NOlympics LA, joins the show to talk about the current state of the LA Olympics and the impacts the event could have on policing, homelessness, transit, and more.
Today we've got Daniel Rapaport of Golf Digest talking about a surprisingly entertaining "The Match," Felix Hasselsteiner of Suddeutsche Zeitung discussing the high-quality 1-0 Bayern Munich victory over Borussia Dortmund, and Spike Friedman opining on who the next "Match" exhibition should feature. Plus, trivia!
It's the first ever episode of Apocalypse Sports Radio, and what a lineup we have! First, it's Mark Stevens, the man who shoved Kyle Lowry in last year's NBA finals, here to offer his perspective on that incident and life in general. Then I'm joined by Jake Weindling and Miles Cottom to talk NFL draft, and finally wealthy patron Spike Friedman joins me to offer his take on how the draft should be done differently to honor the most important men of all: the owners.
Corbin reads a story from the Decameron about a tub with Ryan, Zak and Spike. He giggles a little too much
Sorry, no Decameron this week, we had a tech problem, but I still talked to Spike about theme parks and urban development stuff.
Corbin and Spike talk about the neoliberal consensus getting its head kicked in by a crisis, and if they're the only people who can see that happening.
Spike Friedman joins the podcast! It was great! Follow Spike on Twitter for a look into his brain, or on Instagram to see his dog Edgar Martinez Friedman. 0:00-11:45: Obviously, we start with some Kendall Graveman and Wally Joyner goss. As always, then we get into Spike’s entry point to Mariner fandom and reminisce about our favorite guys who weren’t actually very good. Then, somehow for the first time in this podcast series, we mourn the Ben Broussard trade. 11:50-25:15: A love letter to Bret Boone, one of the few people who was probably stoked to become a Mariner. Jerry Dipoto may not be as accomplished as John Schneider, but at least he’s not a movie quote frat bro. Spike shares the story of moving away from the Northwest in 1995, a year in which things happened. How the Mariners' rise mirrored that of grunge music. 25:20-34:40: The requisite Edgar Martinez appreciation chat. Spike’s highest volume of Mariner consumption did not coincide with wins. The same can sadly be said about or deposed king of pitching. We liken the final Félix game to the series finale of a beloved television show. 34:45-48:55: Going all in on…Bill Bavasi and falling victim to the quasi-gaslighting of the mid-2000s. If you’re playing a weird drinking game where you do a shot every time Jarrod Washburn is mentioned, pour up! Stupidly, we then talk about all of the Mariners’ draft failures. “This team ruined my life in many deep and profound ways […] horrible, darkness, tragedy.” 49:00-1:11:54: Carlos Triunfel, where you at? Matthew plugs his own Sporcle quiz, and Spike flexes his deep-rooted knowledge of Mariner shortcomings. To wrap things up, we talk about a Grantland article Spike wrote about Dustin Ackley in 2013, and put our hand longingly on the Cliff Lee window.

Corbin talks to Spike Friedman about NoOlympics stuff, and his trip to Japan. They do end up discussing Disneyland Tokyo, yes.
Corbin speaks, at extraordinary length, with friend of the show Spike Friedman about NO Olympics LA, a movement of friendly people who are trying to end the Olympics forever. We talk about why that is, what the Olympics do to communities, the history of sports development displacing people in Los Angeles, what the actual economic purpose of the games is, and why sports media does such a crappy job covering the economic impact of sports.
