   2026 AFL Grand Final Recap: “When Am I Gonna Get Grandchildren?”

   This episode features a lot of music, a healthy dose of bells, and our experiences with the craziest Grand Final we've experienced yet! Kylie had a bookend presence, and of course Wharfie Time will forever be tied to Freo's late collapse. We also give our postmortems for both the Lions and Dockers, so stick around for it all.

   2026 AFL Preliminary Finals Recap: “Would’ve Been the Bahama Quadrangle”

   This title refers to both Nickelodeon nostalgia and umpiring. Go figure! Prelim weekend delivered easily the best combined action of our seven years watching this sport, and we go over all of it, plus other newsworthy items and postmortems for the losets.

   2026 AFL Semi-Finals Recap: “Identity Theft Is Not a Joke”

   Millions of families suffer every year… just like [insert quantity] of Rams fans suffered after their team neglected Australia for as long as possible, despite it being their designated market. Yup, we lead off with a heavy dose of NFL talk, then bridge into the footy kind of like a fellow Bay Area sports personality did. After a predictable Luke Jackson domination, Geelong's exit means we get easily our longest postmortem segment, while the second semi-final provided a similarly predictable story arc.
