59 - Unsupervised Allstars

This week on Armchair Allstars, Jamie-Lee is across the pond in London enjoying a concert, leaving the rest of the crew to somehow host the show, produce the episode, edit the social media clips, and keep everything from falling apart.

They break down the favorable path developing for the United States men's national soccer team, while also appreciating the opportunity to watch legends like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo compete on the world's biggest stage one more time. As always, the conversation wanders into all the right places.

56 - Cheese, Rolling into the Regionals

This week on Armchair Allstars – Episode 56, the crew delivers another perfectly chaotic blend of sports, life talk, and absolute nonsense. The episode kicks off with Stoner’s ongoing feud with his angry neighbors, proving once again that suburban drama may be more competitive than most professional sports. Meanwhile, Scoop shares his latest battle with the grammatically challenged drive-thru workers, leading to one of the funniest opening segments the show has had in weeks. The guys also dive into one of the strangest traditions on Earth — the legendary Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake in England — questioning how this became a real event and why humans continue launching themselves down hills for dairy-related glory. This week’s edition of “Ask an Allstar” takes a more thoughtful turn, with the crew discussing how to find your true passions in life. Of course, even the meaningful conversations somehow spiral into hilarious stories, questionable advice, and classic Allstars banter. On the sports side, the focus shifts to the NCAA Baseball Regionals, with the guys making their picks for regional winners and looking ahead to potential Super Regional matchups as postseason baseball officially arrives. They also mix in another fun segment of “This Week in History,” bringing random and interesting moments from the past back to life. The show wraps up with the weekly edition of “Stump the Stone,” where Stoner shockingly puts together one of his strongest performances yet — batting over .500 and correctly answering 2 out of 3 questions, a statistical achievement the crew treats like a championship run. Random stories, college baseball predictions, cheese wheel races, and terrible life advice — this is peak Armchair Allstars chaos from start to finish.
