Aryaan is back to celebrate one of the happiest Chargers occasions we've ever had: a veritable smacking of the hated Kansas City Chiefs. We cover everything on and off the field, from Justin Herbert's electric performance, to Teair Tart's cathartic slap on Travis Kelce, to Heidi Gardner's self loathing spiraling EVEN FURTHER out of control, to an amazing surprise appearance from O Captain My Captain Shreyas Iyer.

Preseason is over and I'm here to take you through all the big plays from the chargers' 30-23 loss to the 49ers, including a masterclass performance from undrafted linebacker Marlowe Wax. We proceed to go through the difficult and controversial decisions that defined cut day, with some deep sadness on my end surrounding the departure of my favorite camp player Stevo Klotz. Not to worry however, I concluded football on a muc...

This week, I shook off some preseason blues to break down a fascinating but infuriating 23-22 loss to the rams. The prospect breakdowns continue as well, with a look at RJ Mickens, Jamaree Caldwell, and Rocket Sanders. Finally, I closed out with a couple key cricket stories: Sanju Samson's ongoing trade showdown with the Rajasthan Royals, and USA Cricket's termination of their contract with MLC operator American Cricket Ent...

Hot Cricket Summer is in full swing and we are here to discuss it all! This week we discuss the lopsided first two WT20Is between India and England, before moving onto the English men and their fumbling of the bag in the second test against India. We close by covering a great week of Major League Cricket matches up at Oakland Coliseum, lamenting some predictably sordid results from our hometown LA Knight Riders.

We're back to cap off a thrilling but unfortunate end to the IPL season that has us (Nick) bawling and laughing at the same time.

Aryaan has survived double tech week and he's back with me in studio to discuss the latest IPL action! We go into a Pod Bowl no result and the great form that followed for both PBKS and KKR, as well as Rajasthan's woes, the inspiring rise of Ayush Mhatre, the spitting resemblance between a certain Pakistan pacer and another certain internet celebrity, and an all-time test innings from Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill.

Sick Kates and the Special One himself Aryaan Mohrinho are here to discuss the bombshell report from Chris Barrett at the Sydney Morning Herald detailing the Saudi plan to take over world cricket. We set the scene by discussing Barrett's report as well as some crack early analysis by beloved podcast figure King Jarrod Kimber, before getting into whether or not any of this has any chance of happening in real life.

Week 2 is in the books! We recap and analyze all the happenings in the IPL, starting with the good, the bad and the ugly of two polar opposite PBKS matches. Our sympathies abounded for Rishabh Pant in his continuing battle against the grumpy Sanjiv Goenka (Dutch pronunciation until he improves), and we continued on to discuss a convincing win from KKR in their only game. Finally we closed with exactly two (2) pieces of Chargers new...

This week, we were forced to abandon our plans to lead off with cricket in favor of a deep dive into an eventful free agency for the Chargers and the NFL, followed by an update on more potential first-round picks. After a celebration of the beginning of the Dodgers’ season in Tokyo (not Wisconsin), we recapped the knockouts of the ICC Champions Trophy, featuring Nick correctly predicting the tournament finalist and squandering that...

Aryaan is back in this week, just in time to discuss an unfortunate second half drubbing at the hands of the Bucs. We get into some positives from the first half, including some great play from Q and Stone Smartt, before lamenting the offense's sputtering to a halt in the second half.
