Show notes

(00:00-11:45) Jackson's having his biggest show ever, we decided. What's Dan Lauria been up to? Potato Dreams of America. Was last year rock bottom for the Cardinals? Hoping for some energy with the change of direction with this Cardinal club. With expectations low, any semblance of success should fire this fan base up. $5 helmet nachos will bring people back.

(11:53-17:06) Jackson loves the Football Night in America cast. A real spare parts television show. Mike Tomlin the top personality out there for a potential spot somewhere.

(39:31-1:03:22) Alan Thicke. On the hunt for Tim's foot pics from Jupiter. The Facts of Life.

Where Do The Elites Go When They Vacation? | Stupiracy Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

In Season 2, Episode 4, Rizz and Tim step into one of the most infamous locations in modern conspiracy culture: Bohemian Grove — the secluded Northern California retreat long rumored to host secret meetings of the world’s most powerful men.

Often dismissed as pure conspiracy or exaggerated folklore, Bohemian Grove turns out to be far more complicated — and historically significant — than most people realize. From its origins as a private club for influential figures to its strict culture of secrecy, ritual, and symbolism, this episode examines who actually attends, what happens behind the gates, and why the Grove has fascinated critics and skeptics for decades. By separating documented history from speculation, Stupiracy explores how power, privacy, and myth intersect — and how one of the most consequential moments of the 20th century may have quietly taken shape far from public view.

MLB Futures | The Spread Zone Feb 25, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The Spread Zone, Scott Rizzuto, Tim McKernan, and Anthony Stalter build out a full 2026 MLB futures card from the ground up — breaking down division winners, pennant picks, World Series anchors, value plays, long-shot sprinkles, MVP bets, Rookie of the Year targets, and Cy Young candidates. With spring training just underway, the guys debate whether to back favorites like the Dodgers and Yankees or chase payout-heavy value on teams like the Mets, Mariners, Royals, and Tigers. Along the way, they discuss how heartbreaking World Series losses affect the following season, where true betting value actually exists on the board, and how to balance chalk with calculated risk. It’s a strategic look at how to approach MLB futures — not just who to pick, but how to build a smart, structured card before the season even starts. The Spread Zone is presented by FanDuel Sportsbook.
