Moffett rambles for a bit, apologies.  The title is related to a David Rawlings tune that I love.  Takes me back to being a young kid in WV, listening to a bunch of people play music on a mountain ridge.  The only reason it ties in here is the ridiculous INT break we all just weathered.  As we've said from the beginning, this season is long long long.  But there si always something worth watching/playing for.

It's the final Sunday of the 1-year-long INT break and we have forgotten the names of our pets and children.  I don't know what year it is, but I do know that Haaland is injured.  I also don't know if that is covered here. So we are in mid-season form.

A whole lotta jumping around here as per, with a little help perhaps sprinkled in?  Probably not, but we did try.

I don't know what happened with this recording, but we'll try to make it sound better next time.  We talk about a bunch of stuff, for a while.  Then we stop and retire to our respective sleeping quarters.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

Here's some things about some things the semi-relate to some other things.  And there's some FPL. Hope your future days are better than this day.

Cheev and Pete!  I dont know what's happening here either, but I'll listen tomorrow.  

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

No way to describe all that's going on in this episode, so I will not try.  Murder Mansions, FPL, Leagues, and some thoughts on David Lynch.  

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

Another Tri-Pod with Master Cheev joining in the fun.  We talk holiday travels, illnesses, menacing Menaces, more frustrations with VAR, Pete's impressive vehicle history, and plenty of #FPL.  

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We are joined this week by Master Cheev for our first tri-hosting gig.  We talk bad beats, dog bites (and wolf versus bear defense), AssMan chip thoughts, league recaps and more.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

Mid week nonsense with mixed with an ongoing slide into failing memory.  Traveling this week but hopefully we'll have a good run to go into the festive fixtures.  Are we having fun yet?  

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We start with a special guest visit and an update on some long-awaited toast.  We then talk a little EPL and FPL before questions and bets.  Happy return from the lull.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

Not much to say here aside from apologies for the bad audio quality.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We start with 18 minutes of useless rambles and then veer into some questions, then league updates and bets.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

There's no point in describing this.  We talk about a number of things, including Pete's WC.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We start with a look at Pete's potential wild card, and we then talk him out of it, only to be talked back into it.  Then some Liverpool, Arsenal, City chatter, a brief Man U insult, and league updates.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We start by lamenting Liverpool's very subpar performance versus NFO, then further discuss City's scary-good form to open the season.  Then some questions, leagues, and bets.  

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

Master Cheev in the house!  Cheev and Pete roll through ceiling fan installation, electric shocks, and a little footy in the mix.  Enjoy!

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We're back for no cash and off to the hottest of starts after failing to get not one but two pods out while Moffett was on vacation.  We discuss a few goods and bads from GW 1, update some leagues, and make a few bets.  

New opening song by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen, Leaving of Liverpool!

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We open with a quick recap of our current state of affairs, then dive into the open of the FPL game for the 24/25 season including some initial thoughts, and thanks to Pete, there's even a moment of potential value in that discussion.  Then we ramble about someone else's podcast for 20 minutes.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

In a podcast that frequently has no apparent FPL value, we take it to a new level this week and really talk about nothing for about 54 of the 55 minutes.  And we're sort of fine with that.  No game recaps, no league recaps, but as J. Peterman would say, we certainly did use a lot of words.

A true rambling bunch of complete nonsense with loos ties to Liverpool, SNL, Chelsea, and Arsenal.  Moffett once again beats a few points into the ground after not making them very well in the first place and we then talk about how great Rayan Gosling is as an SNL host.

If you're looking for double GW 34 advice, look elsewhere.  Though we all know you never should have been looking here in the first place.

Quick solo pod to play some catch up.  Luton Bournemouth recap and some questions.  

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We start off the miserable January break trying to catch up on the previous weekend of games and then transition into what's ahead with AFCON, the Asia Cup, and the roster issues involved.  We then look at leagues and make some week 18 NFL bets.  Pete won a bunch of money on NFL Fantasy this season and his plan is to gamble it away.  That, we love. Happy New Year to all.

We start off with a look at our ongoing terrible teams and then pay a visit to the City Palace silliness.  Then we move into leagues, including an incredibly tight race in the 3GDie league.  Then on to bets and a little visit from Steve Martin.

It's festive time and we start by talking about our various miseries before getting to the FPL miseries.  Then some SNL Holiday fun, and a wrap up with bets and some spring gathering in Baltimore thoughts.

The International Break again has been miserable but Pete takes that up a notch with some news to start.  The we ramble on about to hit or not to hit, then some weekend previews and injury talk.  Then bets.

We start off with a recap of Pat's awful week(s) and the Chelsea Spurs match, and we marvel that VAR continues to drill deeper into the depths of ineptitude.  Then a visit to leagues and weekend bets, and then a quick recap of a 3GDIE meetup in Brooklyn, NY via the Judge John Hodgman Podcast.

Another week, another disaster on the FPL front for your (seemingly incompetent) hosts.  We march on.  We start by taking a look at West Ham, then onto the Haaland cap question after his massacre of his neighbors at Old Trafford, and then a quick discussion of the ongoing Man U troubles.  The leagues, and then a quick visit to Pete's visit to the Judge John Hodgman courtroom/podcast.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

Well, we talked for well over two hours this week but lucky for you, and thanks to a mischievous cat,  we only have about 50 mins to show for it.  It's another stupid INT break so we briefly cover that, but then focus on the more important things in life, like Christmas madness two weeks into Fall, buying new golf clubs, the AI/Robot takeover, and the ongoing failures of Mac Jones.  League updates and some other nonsense mixed in.

We open with reviewing the two wild cards, 1 successful, the other...not.  We then get into some looks ahead at options to deal with the mounting injuries.  Then league updates and then bets.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

After another disappointing week, Pat and Pete decide enough is enough, but not before thoroughly trashing their own and each other's teams.  Bets are made, insults are flying (inward and outward), and as per usual, very little is accomplished.  But that's what we're here for.  Pat is on Wild Card, Pete has new performance requirements based on a bet he didn't even make. 

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We start with a very quick Champions League recap and then discuss which team between Man U and Chelsea is in the more worrying position.  Then on to league updates and bets.

Coming out of the INT break with a quick round of league updates and some bets.  Some discussion of the fears of not having Son for the weekend matchup versus Shef U.

Opening and filler music by The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

We do a not-so-quick run through of all 20 EPL squads and discuss what we think and don't think through the first 4 weeks of the season.  That takes way too long so we then jump into a few bets for the opening week of the NFL.

We start by revisiting the crazy Liverpool/Newcastle result and then pivot to GW 3 results and the difficult choices in a stacked midfield group. We then take a look at the state of Pete's team and decide not to push the panic button in the La Ligarie recap.  Then bets.  Happy Bagel Chip week.
