701: Cobbler Sadness
Intro by Stoners Sports Network [https://www.tiktok.com/@stonersportsnetworkssn]
Tony and MJ open with personal updates—MJ shares news about his job, new hobbies, and a recent birthday celebration, while Tony thanks new Patreon supporter Charles G. and encourages others to contribute. They briefly discuss discovering the Peach Cobbler Factory, praising its desserts and noting plans to order treats for their team. A short tangent on a video about video games “teaching kids not to work” leads to a discussion of participation trophies and generational differences. As Tony puts it, “The generation that made the trophies is the one complaining about them now.”
Shifting into sports, they highlight Dina Asher-Smith’s birthday and return for the 2026 season before diving deeply into NFL analysis. They examine recent games, injuries, and playoff implications, including Cleveland's controversial two-point attempt against Tennessee—criticized by MJ as “a gamble that didn’t need to happen.” They review AFC and NFC standings, debating surprising teams and forecasting playoff outcomes while noting key divisional rivalries such as Texans–Jaguars.
Their sports coverage expands to the NBA, praising Oklahoma City’s win streak, Luka Dončić’s triple-double, Dak Prescott’s standout season, and discussing LeBron’s rare single-digit scoring game. Brief personal reflections on January 6, 2007 and current college basketball rankings follow.
College football becomes a major theme as they debate playoff selections, comparing schedules, conference strength, and team résumés. Disagreements surface over Notre Dame, Tulane, and criteria for three-loss teams, with MJ expressing frustration with the selection logic. They also review bowl game matchups and notable movement in men’s and women’s basketball rankings.
The episode closes with lighter stories: Olympic schedule notes, Meg Thee Stallion’s legal win, bizarre news (including a pizza-theft assault case), humorous anecdotes, and a reminder to show grace during the holidays. Tony and MJ end by encouraging listeners to support the show through merchandise purchases.
