    Special Guest: Dave Johnson

    The voice of the Wizards Dave Johnson joins the show for the first time and we couldn't be more excited! It's a big deal when radio royalty stops by to say hello! We ask Dave about what it's like being around the team on a daily basis, is Trae Young really really healthy? Is Dunk City for real? ...and get his thoughts on what makes radio so special. It's a #RadioParty

    EP402: NFC East; Eagles v 'Skins SNF; Top5Low5; Wizards 2-2

    The boys are talking all things NFL, NFC East, Commanders.... and the WIZARDS ARE BACK and started the season 2-2 showing signs of life! How much basketball did FP watch during opening week? Is it possible that ESPN is preparing for a three man broadcast booth? Buck, Pat, and... Aaron? They've tried it before....How much F1 did Joe watch from Texas? After two weeks of RedZone Sunday Naps... we get a clock change (+1 hour) and another opportunity for a glorious nap this week before Sunday Night Football when the Commanders take the field at home after their bye vs the Eagles. This episode moves quick and don't miss the special announcement... two special guests are scheduled to join the show this week! Enjoy!

    EP401: Time Problems; Dirty Plays; Another Loss; 1-4-1

    Don't look now but the Commanders are 1-4-1 and just two games out of first place in the terrible NFC LEAST. JD5 played a complete game but falls to 1-6-1 in his last 8 while DQ falls to 3-17-1 in his last 21... Jayden hasn't won a game in 390 days? is that possible! In better news, the Wizards are set to start their season in which FP, LP, and Joe all have them going over 45 wins later this week and the Capitals clearly still have some plans for this young season.

    EP400: Nothing Changes, Time is a Flat Circle

    How fitting that episode 400 celebrates the curse as the previous 399. JD5 returns to action but Ron 2.0 costs the Commanders the game. What are they doing? Why are we so laughably bad at clock management? How can average fans have more situational awareness than millionaire coaches and players? #EmbarrassingAsHail

    EP399: The Curse is Alive & Well

    What else can you say... year after year, administration after administration, nothing changes. The referee's hate us, the league doesn't care, the coaches are learning on the fly, and the ownership seems to be content with status quo. FP and Joe are covering the fallout from another loss for the Commanders... 3 wins out of their last 16 games... 3-13... how disgusting. Who's to blame and who isn't? Would you rather be the Browns? Cardinals? Dolphins? The boys do their best to setup a must-win next week against the Giants... but nobody believes anymore.

    EP398: Mariota Magic; Eagles & Cowboys Lose: London Calling; Capitals Get Started

    The Commanders BEAT THE WORLD CHAMPION SEAHAWKS! YESSSSSS! The best backup QB in the NFL did it... again! Join FP and Joe as the recap all of the week three games and get you set for Sunday in London! 'skins up, cowboys down, ravens up, packers down, eagles down too! Plus, the Capitals begin their new season later this week and FP is bullish with a very positive outlook on the new season!

    EP397: JD5 Injured (Again); QBs Down; DQ Outlook

    FP and Joe are heartbroken as the season appears to be over... and it JUST STARTED! FP in particular, the eternal optimist is down hard; down bad; down for the count! The Commanders haven't even played a home game yet and have a London trip on deck too... yuck. How much blame do you put on the coaching staff for JD5 being on the field? WHY NOT TAKE THE POINTS!?? ... the curse lives. We are forever cursed.
