Sean and Joey love sports, but they realize there are a lot of dumb elements within our favorite games. And each week, they'll break down one of those dumb things in this tidy, bite-sized podcast. Drop by to hear Sean lament over the stupidity of a certain aspect in sports—basketball, football, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, volleyball, lacrosse—nothing is off-limits. If there's something dumb to talk about, you better believe we'll hit it. We're also covering some pointless tweets, overused sports cliches, and general news that...well, doesn't need to be news. And we love to hear from you! Give Sean or Joey (or both) a shout with your favorite dumb things.

  • Blazer Tag, Bingo, and Karaoke Respites Among Dumb Sports Moves
    Jun 9 2026

    Why in the world are the Chicago Bears moving to Indiana? Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks and Stars are both moving to a less-populated area of Dallas and Plano, respectively. Change isn't always bad, but it hurts to lose a classic, nostalgic memory.

    Luckily, we have some nice breaks among the craziness. Joey had a busy weekend of laser tag, bingo, and karaoke, including a performance as Game 2 of the NBA Finals was wrapping up (he did not choose this). Sean ALSO did karaoke and played a hockey playoff game, which was fortunate, because he wound up missing every goal during Stanley Cup Game 3 while he rocked the mic.

  • Let's Add One Dumb (or Brilliant) Rule to Each Sport!
    Jun 2 2026

    Sports already have a lot of rules, but there's always room for improvement. The Sports R Dumb boys have each selected a rule to add to popular sports, including basketball, football, baseball, hockey, volleyball, and soccer.

    Imagine how fun it would be if every basketball team could have one "rule of cool" challenge, or if a baseball team could decide to "double or nothing" a home run. And shouldn't safeties be worth more points than field goals in football?

  • Non-Dumb Elements of Soccer Other Sports Should Adopt
    May 26 2026

    The World Cup is right around the corner, and Texas is hosting several games throughout the event. That feels like the perfect time to run through the best parts about soccer (or football, if you're international) that other sports should adopt.

    Plus, we're revisiting old Seinfeld and Shark Tank episodes, when musical artists create "sports-centric" versions of their songs, and what Pokémon moves Sean would use.
