John talks about the Up and Vanished podcast and a killer who finds out the authorities have the body while he is being interviewed. The guys also discuss Boba Fett, the upcoming Lord of the Rings series and more. John runs down the rabbit hole of true crime podcasts starting with Up and Vanished. He also talks about how admitted murderer Stephen McDaniel finds out in an on-camera interview with a news station that authorities had found the victim's body.

The guys also talk about the new Boba Fett series, the upcoming Lord of the Rings from Amazon, the Willow series, and Jamie talks shortcuts in Mario Kart.

21. Jamie returns to argue, John Madden, Spider-Man, 3-D Printers and Taco Trucks

John and Jamie reflect on the life of John Madden. Both recommend seeing Spider-Man No Way Home, and Jamie returns only to argue with John about the Cincinnati Bearcats. Make sure to check the show notes for included links. John Madden has impacted so many people because of American Football. The guys talk about Madden's Legacy and potential ways to honor the late coach/broadcaster. The guys also discuss the new Spider-man No Way home movie (no spoilers here unless you have not seen any promo material). Both talk about how this movie sets the scene for the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward. Jamie's return is not without controversy, though, as he comes back to confront John concerning the Cincinnati Bearcats. The guys end the show discussing things of which they are fans. John is also a fan of the show Futurama (Please Bring it Back!). That is Bender's voice in the beginning intro. John recommends you stream it on Hulu [https://www.hulu.com].

20. No, The Cincinnati Bearcats Do Not Belong; & More College Football Top 25 Conversation.

John discusses the Cincinnati Bearcats merits in the college football playoff, and how those giving rankings should make some changes. No, the Cincinnati Bearcats did not belong on the field with Alabama. What we saw on Friday afternoon was a display of how teams with weak schedules get exposed when playing difficult competition.  The Bearcats' signature win was against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish who had no signature win themselves, and they were beaten by both "ranked" teams they played (Cincinnati & Oklahoma State).  John discusses potential changes to the College Football top 25 and how the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide proved a point against the Michigan Wolverines and Cincinnati Bearcats.

19. Losing Weight via Faith?? Hunting, Sports Games & More!

This week John discusses a crazy weight loss/church combo, an awesome hunting game, and a pitch for a new sports game release strategy.
