Winding Up Jun 13, 2022

Show notes

Pat and Tad welcome Ravi Vasudevan of the Eurozone podcast onto the program to preview the return of Europe’s legendary Windmill tournament. It’s Pat’s first time going -- what does he need to know to survive the weekend? The guys also breakdown College Nationals and read an email from a PT about weird patient stories.

Back to Milwaukee May 20, 2022

Show notes

With D-I Nationals returning to Milwaukee, Pat and Tad recall the past two eventful Nationals in the place some have called the Paris of southeastern Wisconsin. On the field and off the field, from the conception of the show in 2015 to their inadvertent stay in an actual murder house in 2018, Nationals in Milwaukee is a key part of the STF tapestry. Also, they throw baseless accusations around about how UVA got food poisoning in 2015. Discerning minds want to know.

Many Things, Most Places, Nowish May 06, 2022

Show notes

After a brief hiatus, STF is back. It's a busy time on the ultimate calendar, with college Regionals, pro seasons, and club tryouts all kicking off at once. Pat and Tad do their best to cover everything, everywhere, all at once. They talk the AUDL's 10th anniversary season and reflect back on the wild early days of the league, get into the college Regionals pick em' bet they made with Deep Look, and chat about what it is like to run club tryouts. Also, thoughts on the end of an era on Ultimate Twitter with the Being Ulti guy moving on, and also some elk stuff. Oh yeah, there is elk stuff.

Two Sad Men, Wishing They Could Boo a DJ Apr 08, 2022

Show notes

Pat and Tad lament what has become of them as they both missed Fools Fest this year and turn to some first hand reports from listeners of a particularly antagonistic tournament party DJ.
Then the guys assess the college scene and debate what should be done about New England men only getting two bids despite having six top teams. Their answers may shock and surprise you! (And unsurprisingly involves a story from the late 2000’s Metro East.)
All that plus a special announcement about Skylander and a TTF that is frankly a bit all over the place.

Winter League, High Tide, and Boldfaced Gaslighting Mar 18, 2022

Show notes

In this grab bag episode, Pat and Tad touch on everything from Winter League finals to a college freshman listener’s first High Tide. Then the guys welcome Edward Stephens on to break down, in excruciating detail, the event of the college season thus far: Mamabird gaslighting that dude on Brown into thinking he caught his own throw in the SMI championship.

They Bled Black Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

Pat and Tad are super excited to have Jamie Houssian and Dan Schneider from the University of California at Santa Barbara on the program to talk about "I Bleed Black," the groundbreaking documentary charting UCSB's journey to Nationals in 2001. They discuss making the film, go into detail on what college ultimate was like twenty years ago, and how they live with the legacy of the film today. Plus, some utterly shameless slander of the rest of the UC schools.
They also announce the winners of the Pickle Juice contest and try out the three winning concoctions. Tad really regrets not getting the correct ingredients.

College Regrets & Super Bowl Bets Feb 18, 2022

Show notes

Pat and Tad nurse the wounds of some near-miss Super Bowl bets, forcing them to confront how sports gambling hollows out one of the last pure pleasures in life. Fun! They also recap some of the sideline shenanigans from Florida Warm Up, including a BYU player doing the coolest thing anyone has ever done in a game. Then, they discuss a listener email that asks them to consider a probably unhealthy temptation: If you could go back in time and play your first-ever college tournament as a 29 year old adult club player, what would you do differently? Some moderately helpful advice is given, and some truly embarrassing revelations are made.

Florida Warms Up (Our Cold Dead Hearts) Feb 04, 2022

Show notes

After two years, Florida Warm Up is back! Pat and Tad celebrate the return of their favorite college tournament with friend of the pod and Warm Up veteran Daniel Prentice. They recall their favorite memory involving each team in the field this year and unpack why Warm Up is the purest version of college ultimate.
Plus, Daniel defends moving to North Carolina right as it’s becoming the Seattle of the East Coast, fully breaking down the end of Cheer Season 2’s many parallels to ultimate, and the announcement of the exciting new Pickle Juice challenge.

The Winter of Our Discontent Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

Amidst Tad coping with the Steelers losing and Pat ranting about the new season of Cheer, the guys find time to talk about winter league. Indoor or outdoor? Draft league or clique? Weeknight or weekend? Trying hard or trying way too hard? Does it ruin your outdoor game? From the bottom of January's despair, they hope to emerge with some truths.
Later, the guys read out some stellar listener stories of psychos storming off the field, and dedicate an entire TTF to when organizing a pickup game goes wrong.

Reheated College Nationals Leftovers Jan 07, 2022

Show notes

Pat and Tad begin the new year by looking back a couple weeks to the weird 2021 College Nationals, with some aged takes that were mildly relevant two weeks ago. How should we feel about this whole event? Do these UNC titles count the same as the rest? How did the Metro East do? Did Pitt men's really not make the bracket? What justifies tripping an opponent in cold blood? STF gets into all that and more. The guys also talk about their New Year's resolutions, another year of dry January, and when it's appropriate to storm off the field in righteous indignation.
