• All the NBA Draft Shenanigans R Bad Luck Dumb
    May 12 2026

    The fate of the NBA relies on some ping pong balls! Another NBA Draft lottery is in the books, and once again, a process that should take two minutes to reveal has been drawn out into a full half hour. Incoming rookies sit in silence while analysts talk about their games right in front of them. Teams bring representatives who look like they'd rather be anywhere else. It's all quite silly!

    Plus, adventures with meat, another Star Fox video game reboot, and Sean gets so mad about YouTube ads that he accidentally mutes himself. Remember when times were simpler?

    May 5 2026

    Joey is back from vacation in Poland, and he even played some sports while he was there. Meanwhile, Sean is in the midst of hockey season and has been moved to defense because no one else on his team is capable.

    Plus, a barrage of sports updates from the NBA and NHL playoffs, as well as wild developments across the NCAA. And we're breaking down the most memorable levels from the GoldenEye video game.

  • A Very Un-Sportsmanlike Sports R Dumb
    Apr 28 2026

    This might set a record for the least amount of time talking about sports! We're covering the absolute worst karaoke song to sit through, a barrage of game shows (including the best games to play on The Price is Right), and ponder whether dinosaurs are dragons.

    But for our classic sports fanatics, we do still have a few good moments. We're chatting volleyball and Sean powering through multiple 10K runs. At least he didn't see a bright light this time.

  • The Hullabaloo Around the NFL Draft is Predictively Dumb
    Apr 21 2026

    The NFL Draft is this week, and that means we're finally free from all the mock drafts! Goodbye big boards, hello new roster additions. Of course, there are still plenty of draft moments that make us smile, from George Pickens watching himself get drafted on TV to a montage of disappointed Jets fans.

    Plus, we discuss vacation packing habits, WNBA hopes for the upcoming season, and a pair of "classic" TV shows (okay, one classic and one that probably slipped under the radar) that Sean has never seen.

    Apr 14 2026

    It's the perfect time for a little sports spring cleaning! Goodbye, silly grievances, and hello exciting playoff pushes.


    We're making our NBA and NHL postseason predictions, teams named after natural disasters, peeing during golf outings, bad Shark Tank ideas, and the vibe of feeling fresh after a haircut.

  • A Sports R Dumb Live Event Bonanza
    Apr 7 2026

    Over the span of six days, Joey went to MLB Opening Day, multiple NCAA Tournament games, and a hockey game. What a time to be alive! We're recapping highlights from those events.


    Don't worry, Sean has enjoyed plenty of dumb sports moments, too. Texas was oh so close in its various tournament games. But alas, Sean was left disappointed in a Chili's.

  • Look At This Milestone! 200 Episodes of Sports R Dumb
    Mar 24 2026

    Holy cow! Sports R Dumb is celebrating its 200th episode. And how are we doing it? With a wild curiosity about this dumb ol' world of sports. Namely, we're diving into some of the more maddening parts of March Madness, from impressive buzzer beaters like those from St. John's and Kentucky, to almost immediate instances of basketball karma taking place on the court.

    That's not all, though. We're also exploring old phrases like the concept of a domestic engineer, determining which game shows we'd have the most success on, and diving into the ins and outs of casino table etiquette (spoiler alert: Sean is scared).

    Thank you for celebrating 200 with us. Cheers to many more Sports R Dumb shenanigans!
