It is a New Year and the Honchos welcomed 2022 with a brand new showgram. New year, same old yuks and nonsense. It was also the debut of Rob's new podcast equipment so it was just a steaming pile of newness for the Honchos faithful. The show started with some holiday vacation recaps and then the Honchos celebrated episode 48 with a tribute to another number 48, Jacob deGrom. pitcher for the New York Mets. The showgram open ended with some Headlines, which included stupid criminals and Lego's first anus! Now that is a reason to listen friendos!
The Honchos started the cavalcade of sports with a recap of the College Football Championship (hats off to the Dawgs of Georgia) and uncovered the real reason why the CFP will not expand beyond 4 teams until at least 2026.
Next up was the NFL segment in which the Honchos ripped through the Week 18 games, which included the epic, all-timer between the Raiders and the Chargers to end the regular season. The Honchos then broke down the NFL playoff matchups for this weekend and made their predictions. Before leaving the NFL segment there was a look at which coaches were fired on "Black Monday," the 7 available head coaching jobs going into next season, and why on earth a successful coach like Brian Flores was fired by the Miami Dolphins.
Because this was such a football-dominated show our usual NHL/NBA/MLB segment was reduced to a couple of quick hits on topics like the MLB lockout, the Yankees hiring the first woman to manage a professional baseball team, and the latest from the Ingleside Lakers.
No matter how bloated our usual segments get there is always room on the buffet for the dessert that is the Dope of the Week and tonight was no exception. This week's winner was Jason Wright, President of the Washington Football Team.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
