Episode 5: Schedule! Mail!

Special Episode: World Cup Preview!

On this SPECIAL episode of JHiTB, Jeff is joined by his good friend (and closet Francophile) Reverend Dave to preview the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. They wonder why Ghana is bringing five keepers, how Tim Ream can be expected from allowing a hat trick to Jeremy Doku, and give their champion predictions. (Hint: there will be MORE riots.) They then choose three movie characters with whom they'd like to share a drink with at a bar, which somehow include Darth Vader and a ghost.

Episode 8: Sports IS Politics.

On this episode of JHiTB, Jeff discusses how fans need to be better when it comes to player behavior off-field, how sports IS NOW and always HAS BEEN intermingled with politics, and a mailbag edition with season prediction! (Apologies for swallowing the microphone a bit in segment one but I got fired up.)

Episode 7: Memorial Day Mailbag!

On this episode of JHiTB, Jeff does a mailbag exclusive! He discusses what it means for the Bears to be "Ben Johnson's team," why the young LSU WR is turning heads in his early days, why nepotism in league circles is a bad thing, and why you should always try mozzarella sticks at a pub if they're listed as "homemade."

Episode 6: Schedule Release is Not an Event

On this episode of JHiTB Jeff yells about the schedule release NOT being a television event, remembers Sam Sianis of the Billy Goat Tavern (which will be an ongoing theme), and answers reader emails.

Episode 5: Schedule! Mail!

On this episode of JHiTB, Jeff breaks the 2026 schedule in five segments, lauds its overall balance, and opines that it's the ideal schedule for a coaching staff good at in-season adjustments. Also...a lot of mail from the listeners!
