NotJoeFlacco: The Podcast

Let me start by saying I love this podcast. I’ve listened to almost every episode and am never disappointed by the crazy off-topicness of NotJoe and the boys (that is unless I want to hear their opinions on my favorite team and all NotJoe talks about is the 49ers). They stay true to their biases by focusing very little on other teams but I don’t hold that against them because let’s be real, I know what I’m getting into. The tangents on the pod are constant, and certainly test your patience if you’re just listening to hear about football. Well, if you want a true football podcast, look elsewhere. As long as you know what you’re getting into, this is the best podcast on the app. Also, I want more start-bench-cut and segments like that. Those are the best.

This has been by far my favorite podcast for almost two years. I don’t know how one could be any more perfect. The boys know football, which makes listening to their NFL conversations not only fun but educational. The part that really makes this pod special though, is the tangents. Every few podcasts, NotJoe, Trevor, and Doug talk about something completely off topic for thirty or so minutes, like what kind of mustard is best or what hobbies Russell Wilson likes to get into at home. Also, as a Seahawk fan, one of my favorite parts of the podcast is when NotJoe panics about the 49ers, such as right after the CMC trade. That makes me happy. All in all, the boys have obvious passion for the sport and their friendship, leading to a podcast-listening experience as fun as if I were in the conversation myself. This podcast is funny, relatable, and the best thing on this app. (I snuck in a few Oxford commas for Trevor.)

Great podcast. Doug hooked up with my mom. I don’t really care tho tbh

Not Joe is a mean, hate-filled bully with unqualified football takes based on his 60+ years as an NFL memester. I mean, he drinks non-alcoholic beer so how much can he know about football? Despite (or because of?) this, the show is entertaining. Doug is a delight and Trevor is… also there. They banter the way you wish you and your friends could and they make fun of your favorite team without mercy. Their lack of empathy for the average football fan suggests psychopathic tendencies, which is probably why I haven’t heard any ads for “better health” on the pod. At least that’s a plus? If you like football and want to feel like you have friends to talk about it with you should definitely download the pod.
