August Burns Red's Matt Greiner on Faith, Fatherhood, and "Season of Surrender"

August Burns Red drummer (and farmer) Matt Greiner joins the show to talk about the band’s new album, Season of Surrender, why he’s more excited for this record than anything in the past 15 years, and how the writing process pulled from the energy of the early ABR days. Matt breaks down what fans can expect from Season of Surrender, including the work that went into making this new August Burns Red album feel complete. We also talk about Matt’s journey from starting August Burns Red at 17, touring in the early days, Looks Fragile After All, Thrill Seeker, CI Records, the CD era, Christian metalcore, drum lessons, practicing, staying healthy on the road, and what it’s like being known as one of the most respected drummers in heavy music. Beyond the music, Matt opens up about faith, humility, identity, fame, performance pressure, playing drums for the glory of God, fatherhood, family, touring as a dad, and what changed the way he sees everything. If you’re an August Burns Red fan, a Matt Greiner fan, a drummer, or a metalcore listener, this conversation is for you. Season of Surrender by August Burns Red drops June 5th. Tracklist: 1.

The Most Disrespectful NFL Wide Receiver Rankings Yet

In this episode of Sunday Concessions, we rank the top wide receivers across the NFL heading into the 2026 season. We go team by team and place every WR1 — plus several WR2s — into tiers: X-Factor, Superstar, Star, Average, Not Ideal, and Bad. That means debates around Ja’Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Drake London, Tetairoa McMillan, Zay Flowers, DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Marvin Harrison Jr., Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, Tee Higgins, Jerry Jeudy, KC Concepcion, Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Ladd McConkey, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and more. Before the tier list, we also hit news and notes around Brock Bowers being called a “football robot from heaven,” the Raiders offense, Tennessee removing seed oils from the facility, the Titans as a possible surprise team, Jack Campbell’s extension, Aaron Rodgers’ final season comments, Rashee Rice’s knee/legal situation, Jackson Dart’s offseason controversy, the Enhanced Games, and somehow a full side quest into August Burns Red, Norma Jean, Underoath, For Today, Knocked Loose, and the metalcore bands that shaped us. Then we get into the main event: the 2026 NFL wide receiver tier list. Is Ja’Marr Chase clearly the best wide receiver in football? Are CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens both X-Factors in Dallas? Is Drake London finally ready for superstar status? Are people too high or too low on Marvin Harrison Jr.?Is Tetairoa McMillan already a superstar? Is Ladd McConkey overrated or still ascending? Where should Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton rank in Denver? And is Rashee Rice actually a superstar, or are people giving him too much credit? Drop your WR tier list in the comments and tell us who we got wrong.

We Ranked Every 2026 NFL Quarterback… And Things Got Heated

We ranked every NFL quarterback into tiers… and some fanbases are not going to like this one. Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams, Bo Nix, Aaron Rodgers, CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, Jared Goff, Jordan Love, Michael Penix, Carson Beck, Jacoby Brissett, and every other projected starter gets placed into our NFL QB tier list. The big question: who is actually generational? We debate whether Mahomes still belongs alone at the top, whether Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson deserve more respect, whether Joe Burrow has done enough to reach the highest tier, and which young quarterbacks are rising, falling, or already in trouble. We also talk Aaron Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh, the Steelers offense, Jacoby Brissett’s holdout, Malik Nabers’ knee concerns, Jeremiah Love returning kicks, and a completely unplanned movie and TV debate featuring Breaking Bad, Severance, Lord of the Rings, Top Gun: Maverick, and Tom Cruise. Comment your QB tier list below and tell us which ranking was the worst.

Caleb, Cam, Trea, and ChatGPT each build a full NFL super team using the best players in the league, including quarterbacks, receivers, running backs, tight ends, defensive linemen, linebackers, corners, and safeties. Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Brock Bowers, Micah Parsons, Myles Garrett, Sauce Gardner, Kyle Hamilton, Chris Jones, and plenty more stars come off the board. Then we let ChatGPT rank every roster. Did it get the winner right? Absolutely debatable. We also break down NFL news around David Njoku signing with the Chargers, Harold Fannin becoming the guy in Cleveland, the league-wide tight end movement, early 2026 NFL schedule reactions, Bengals hype, Cardinals and Dolphins tank talk, and the teams with the easiest and hardest paths this season.
