Jeff and Varg sneak off to the Deurty Boys gallery to record this freebird episode sort of previewing the 2019 New Orleans Saints.

Because of the events of this week, that means we have to start with thirty minutes of Drew Brees, Focus On The Family, and #CancelCulture.

That's followed by the obligatory Dan Arnold Update and then a brief look at the roster before we try and puzzle out the schedule for a while.

Finally, in order to evoke anxieties over the dubious future of football, we read a poem by former almost Saints receiver Rishard Matthews.

Episode 57: Summer Of Sorrow

The Hunker Downcast

play

09/05/19 • 122 min

Hey we're back!

oh no... wait... turns out Jeff pulled a severe Dan Arnold on the audio despite what he thought was a very thorough sound check and the result is the garbled mess he's been trying to fix for two weeks now. We're afraid this is about as good as it's going to get. Which is to say not good at all. Sorry.

But maybe there's something in here worth sticking it out for anyway. Some of the barely audible topics covered as we tried to catch up from summer hiatus were:

How do beveridges work?

Let's explain some GIFs

Summer of Sorrow

Barry and associated flooding

Cars in culverts

Epstein

Football season

The Dan Arnold Theory

The Rolling Stones

The Netherlands

Shitty September

Also there is a Jivewire in there somewhere if you can slog through to it. Anyway, WE'RE SO EXCITED TO BE BACK. We'll do better next time. Really.

Finally! It's our Mardi Gras re-cap episode. Only we're uploading it two weeks late because things happened. Also we don't get through all of Mardi Gras because it was late when we recorded this. Also please enjoy the guest appearance by Varg's 15 year old dog Doris. She has a lot to contribute.

Anyway we're back.. basically.

It is Mardi Gras time again and rather than wait for our traditional 10 hour recap episode to dump it all on you at once, we decided to try and get out in front of the chaos before it compounds. And so here is a quick hour and a half on the early season doings. Such doings are as follows.

The Downman Mansion, long a nexus of old line Carnival tradition, has burned to the ground. Some of us had a close-up view of the .. uh... calamity. Also it has something to do with Bernie Sanders, probably.

Doug MacCash has some ideas about the “New Mardi Gras” Does he actually believe his own bullshit? Or is he just trolling for clicks? Sound off in the comments.

Alli was an important person in Krewe Du Vieux this year. We made sure to witness this.

This is just the beginning and there is plenty more Mardi Gras to come. If you see us on the parade route this year stop and say hi.

A special minisode featuring field reports from Stupor Bowl V which may or may not have been the final appearance of the legendary Vibrio Vulnificus Football Club. Also some brief commentary on New Orleans's Day Of Many Super Bowl Boycotts.

Episode 54: Refs are cops

The Hunker Downcast

play

01/26/19 • 102 min

Folks! The Saints game. Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? Well it is bad. People are not happy. Nevertheless we are here to feel all the feelings with you so that... well... that is something anyway. And we are feeling ALL the feelings not only of this game but of the whole Sean Payton era as we go on a deep dive search for reasons. We really put ourselves out there this time. For you we did this. Varg, especially. Just listen and you’ll see what we mean by that.

Anyway... we’re not gonna tell you wait til next year because who knows if there will even be one. The best advice is just to wait. For about an hour and forty five minutes, at least.

Happy Holidays! Not only from us but also from everyone at Councilwoman Cyndi Nguyen’s office (“Where family comes first.”) Some of us are in kind of a humbug mood. Or maybe it’s just the lagunitas. But somehow between tangents about things like boil order protocol or who is and is not dead, we manage to run through a re-cap of (some of) 2018. Well, at least, we cover these issues. Kind of in this order.

Canadian Olympic Ice Dancers

Goofy LaToya

That Thai cave rescue

Bad LaToya

World Cup memories

Good LaToya

Eddie the dunking/masturbating otter

Valerio the hero we deserve

Predictions/Goals for 2019 including but not limited to the fate of the Saints and some exclusive early Carnival news.

In this two-part 25 minute mini-sode, Varg stops by the Mid City home of Mr. James Karst to chat about his continuing search through time for a kid named Louis Armstrong who, among others things, would one day have a semi-functional airport named for him. Also, Varg and Jeff sit outside the half moon and take in a loss that could have easily been prevented if Sean Payton wasn't Sean Payton. Hope is kept alive. Rolls are slowed. Gentrification is compared to Katrina and in the end, nothing really matters.

Episode 58: From the Terrace

The Hunker Downcast

play

01/18/20 • 78 min

Happy New Year and welcome from distant future. Yes, the 2020s will, in fact, include podcasting. We're very sorry. There was nothing we could do.

We spend a few minutes catching up with LaToya's New Orleans in the new decade before launching into an extended discussion of the latest Democratic Primary debate and the stakes of the 2020 election. It's probably the most Bernie Bro #content we've put into one episode so far.

Later we sort out the Odell Beckham situation and celebrate the LSU national championship win before getting in a few parting shots about the way the Saints season ended.

Anyway, new year, new decade, new recording location. Maybe there will even be more new content before the flames inevitably engulf the world. Stay tuned.
