Ron had a rough week but Charles was joined by Will Leitch to talk about the Saints 20-13 loss. Ron returned for Man in the Dome with Skooks.

S3E1 Cardinals with Will Leitch

The Saints lose another one they had in their hands and Truthdig's Jeb Lund joins us to Get Our Ass. Skooks is back as our Man in the Dome as the Saints fall to 0-2 and Who Dat Nation loses control of the Dome to 49ers fans who don't like waiting to pee.

S3E2 49ers with Jeb Lund

L. Ron and Charles welcome Spike Friedman to the pod after the Seahawks' dominant 44-13 win over the Saints. Nobody had fun, except for Spike, who is enjoying a golden year of Seattle sports.

S3E3 Seahawks with Spike Friedman

A trip to Buffalo went better than expected but in the end it was still a 31-19 loss for our heros. Joining L. Ron and Charles on the pod is Buffalo native and lifelong Bills fan Victoria Zeller, author of the YA novel One of the Boys.

S3E4 Bills with Victoria Zeller (DirtbagQueer)

The Saints finally get a W (26-14 over the Giants) and David Roth joins Charles to talk about, well, not the game exactly, but game-adjacent things. L. Ron wasn't able to join the main chat but he was available to talk to Charles and Skooks, our Man in the Dome. And even though he couldn't join the chat, Ron managed to Get Dave's Ass. Plus, Charles lets his bar buddy Alex vent a little. There's a lot of Skattebo going on.

City Saint / Country Saint S3E5 Giants with David Roth

Another depressing loss for the Saints, this time for the Patriots, but at least L. Ron and Charles get to welcome in the charming Josh Gondelman. Skooks is a breath of fresh air as the Man in the Dome, refusing to let losing get in the way of watching a young team develop in a fun way.

Josh is everywhere, including his newsletter, That's Marvelous (https://www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/) and his most recent comedy special, Positive Reinforcement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAvNlgpdKKo).

City Saint / Country Saint S3E6 - Patriots with Josh Gondelman

Charles went out to Chicago to watch the Saints play their worst game of the year as they lost 26-14 to the Bears and fell to 1-6. At least he was there with friends. Two of his old buddies from Hostile Witness - Patrick Cosmos and Eric Michel - were able to join Charles at the game and in the "studio" with Ron as well to look back at the game and try to figure out where it all went wrong.

Patrick's latest album, Future National Sports, is available on Bandcamp (with the rest of his albums) at https://patrickcosmos.bandcamp.com/album/future-national-sports. Eric doesn't do that sort of thing. Everyone's on Bluesky, though!

Another rough loss, 23-3 to the Tampa Bay Bucs at home. Charles and L. Ron welcome a new Bucs fan to the podcast, comedian Paul Pallotta, who relished the opportunity to rub their noses in it A BIT MUCH. Sadly, no Man in the Dome.

City Saint / Country Saint S3E8 Bucs 1 with Paul Pallotta

The Saints were humiliated once again, this time 34-10 by the Rams, and Ron and Charles are starting to get tired of it. Nobody was here to get our asses because we have another ex-fan joining us. St. Louis's own Alex Turpin bailed on the team when they bailed on his city but Charles and Alex talked football, losing a team and some moderate reminiscing about Mic Dicta. Plus some news about the offseason for the pod.

Well would you look at that! A happy Ron and Charles enjoy the aftermath of a 17-7 win over the division "rival" Carolina Panthers. We don't have a guest this week but that doesn't stop us from getting the ass of our old friends from the For Panthers Only podcast. 

You can hear the Hannukah episode of It's Christmastown with Charles at https://daveandjebarentmean.libsyn.com/141-the-great-yiddish-bake-off. Unfortunately his Blackout Diaries entry hasn't dropped yet, but we'll post it when it does.
