EXPLICIT CONTENT WARNING!
The 412 Podcast start off 2022 with Matt asking Jeff and Tanner a question they didn't expect. With the new covid variant Deltacron being created because of a mishap in a lab, Tanner asks the question of why the hell are we handling viruses so carelessly, especially as we're now almost three years into a pandemic from arguably this same negligence? He's watched enough Resident Evil in his day to know that if you're going to play with that stuff, go underground and do it. With restrictions in the United States due to covid lessoning, countries like Canada are boarding up their walls and keeping their citizens away from the possibility of infection. The guys share how Canada's free health care could be the reasoning for the recent, harsh restrictions compared to other places in the world.
President Biden has openly come out and expressed how he has influenced major social media platforms into censoring content that he, and the people in office, don't appreciate and believe to be true. This censoring on platforms like Twitter has resulted in a new social media platform called GETTR to climb its way up the charts, as it approached 4 million active users within 6 months.
Content Creators are taking the world by storm and a new Netflix documentary series Hype House has people that much more interested in the new way to make money each month. Tanner shares his opinion on the new TV series, alongside some insight into a pretty dark side of the company not many people are talking about.
Outside of all that, Jeff, Matt, and Tanner also discuss the 2021-22 NFL Playoffs and give their opinions on who could win each NFL Seasonal Award. Who will win NFL MVP? Will the Steelers find a way to defeat the Chiefs? Will Tom Brady be able to defeat a tough Philadelphia defense? Should we be expecting a shoot out between the Cardinals and Rams? Are the 49ers a dark horse in the NFC? Find out about this, and so much more, in the most vulgar episode of The 412 Podcast to date.

#34 - We Survived A Global Pandemic, We'll Survive Your Ego

Urban Meyer signed a 5-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars in January of 2021. Not even a year into the contract and he's been fired by the team. The guys dig into all of the issues surrounding the former NFL coach, who appeared to have something negative surrounding him every single week.
A more successful coach in the media spotlight, though, is Deion Sanders out of Jackson State. We learned this past week that the team was able to secure the #2 recruit in the nation, Travis Hunter. With these coaches appearing to be polar opposites, Jeff introduces the question of who would you rather play for - Urban Meyer or Deion Sanders? With the new NIL deals in college sports, will we begin to see more players being influenced to attend schools like JSU, creating a more, even playing field throughout college sports?
Jackson Mahomes went to social media this week to bash SoT Bar in Kansas City for not accommodating his large party. The bar came out with a social media post of their own, explaining the situation in more detail and completely torching Jackson in the process. The guys break down this story and give you some funny details surrounding the whole ordeal.
Alongside the NFL talk, the guys discuss how Jake Paul is in the news again as he takes on Tyron Woodley for the second time. We expected to see Paul fight Tommy Fury, but due to injury he had to pull out. Paul reached out to Tyron Woodley and the two set up their rematch. Rumors went viral over the last year that the Paul brothers don't allow for their opponents to knock them out, so an interesting change in the Paul vs Woodley II was made. Paul has stated that $500,000 would be awarded to Tyron Woodley if he were to knock the YouTube star out at any point in their match, squashing the speculation that his fights are fake prior to their match on December 18, 2021.

#36 - Fear Porn

The guys start off the podcast talking about the NFL Divisional Round and end the show with their betting predictions going into the Conference Round. This past weekend, the Bengals' rookie kicker Evan McPherson helped secure a win against the #1 seeded Titans, going on to say, "Well, looks like we're going to the AFC Championship" prior to his 52-yard game winning field goal. The Rams showed the world in three quarters what they're capable of, while also allowing Tom Brady to do what the world knows he's capable of - but this time coming up short. The Bills and Chiefs' game may have been one of the most interesting games all season, ending in overtime in a way that now has people questioning the NFL's overtime rules. The defense of the 49ers was able to hold a Packers offense that, up until this past weekend, looked unstoppable on offense.
With the Packers' loss on Sunday night, many rushed to social media to poke jabs at the reigning MVP, who managed to not only lose again in the playoffs, but to a 49ers team that he's now winless against in the postseason. With recent comments made from Rodgers regarding how he owns the Chicago Bears, it was only fitting for the San Francisco fan base to express how they are the ones who own Aaron Rodgers. To pile on the blows, the social media trolls were quick to attack Rodgers after he went on Pat McAfee's show this week and stated that certain people have begun saying negative things simply because he's unvaccinated, making the loss that much more difficult. With Aaron Rodgers' future in question after expressing concern with the rebuilding process in Green Bay, the guys debate which team the back to back MVP will be playing for going into the 2022-23 NFL offseason.
Alongside the sports talk, Jeff, Matt & Tanner banter on about a variety of entertainment-based stories going on around the world today. From Kanye West (Ye) telling the world he wants to kick Pete Davidson's ass to Bitcoin and Ethereum no longer being the crypto currencies of the future, the stories get more and more ridiculous. Find out about all this, amongst so much more, in this episode of The 412 Podcast!
