Sports R Dumb

By: Joey Held Sean Hill
  • Summary

  • Sean and Joey love sports, but they realize there are a lot of dumb elements within our favorite games. And each week, they'll break down one of those dumb things in this tidy, bite-sized podcast. Drop by to hear Sean lament over the stupidity of a certain aspect in sports—basketball, football, baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, volleyball, lacrosse—nothing is off-limits. If there's something dumb to talk about, you better believe we'll hit it. We're also covering some pointless tweets, overused sports cliches, and general news that...well, doesn't need to be news. And we love to hear from you! Give Sean or Joey (or both) a shout with your favorite dumb things.

  • Sharing Your Team’s Allegiance On Social Media Comments About Another Team’s Player is Self-Absorbed Dumb
    Sep 3 2024

    During terrible tragedies, such as the recent death of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, people across the Internet offer their condolences. Many of those fans will also share that they’re fans of another team. “As an Islanders fan, this is so sad,” for example. No, folks, as a human being, this is so sad. We don’t need to make it about us.

    Plus, we talk about The Mole with Anderson Cooper and MadTV. Nothing like reminiscing on shows that have been off the air for approximately 16 to 23 years! And the Buffalo Bills know quite a few obscure NBA players. You love to see it!

    Note: We recorded this before the Gaudreau tragedy happened, which is why it’s absent from the episode. It’s an awful event. Give your loved ones a hug.

  • Overused Sports Celebrations and Phrases R Uncreatively Dumb
    Aug 27 2024

    It’s Joey’s birthday celebration, and he’s already been distressed by a cake promotion at his local grocery store, but we’re powering through! Unfortunately, today’s topic is also powering through sports, and that’s real dumb.

    We’re seeing just about every player doing the “too small” taunt to opponents. And people are referring to everyone as “him,” or, even worse, saying, “I’m him” after making a play. A person in Joey’s rec league did this. As Sean notes, if you are paying to play in a league, you are, in fact, not him.

    Plus, Joey sent a sternly worded email that actually got a result! And tell us this Relient K song isn’t a banger from an album with a beautiful punny title.

    Whether you’re him or not, we love having you aboard! Follow Sports R Dumb on Instagram or give the show a rating or review on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Goodpods. Thanks for listening!

  • Televising the Little League World Series is Exploitatively Dumb
    Aug 20 2024

    What do the Little League World Series and a puddle of drool have in common? They both feel sort of icky to see on your TV. Yet, year after year, people watch these children play baseball, sometimes getting mad when they make mistakes. You know, because they're not even teenagers, and none of us were graceful back then.

    Joey and Sean both went to separate Texas Rangers games within the past week. Beyond that, Joey had a weird dinner experience, and Sean has a hot take about live baseball.

    Be a pal and leave us some kind words. Follow Sports R Dumb on Instagram or give the show a rating or review on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Goodpods. Thanks for listening!
