Episode notes & curated moments 9 records
momentJay fills Mike's chair but Al controls his August-only voice
With Mike absent until tomorrow, direct video shows full-size cardboard Jay Griz occupying his host position for the entire two-man show. The hosts announce Jay in the house, tell Al to fire the ready cue, and say Jay gets his song once August begins; the animated I'M JAY GRIZ! card plays, but Jay never speaks live.
momentAugust plugs the content machines into the Matrix
The show returns to five weekday episodes, adds Saturday research specials and Sunday Live, and describes the staff as content machines plugged into the Matrix to produce constantly.
momentAndy brings two Listener League trophies to Jason's empty leaderboard
Jason admits he has never won the Listener League, Andy immediately answers that he has won twice, and the surrounding announcement teases absent Mike as the usual standings straggler.
momentThe Listener League wants one week of fun, unique entries—not résumés
The 2025 submission window lasts one week and uses [email protected]. The hosts ask for a cool video or other unique idea that demonstrates a fun season-long league mate, reject standings résumés and two-paragraph essays, and note that hundreds apply for the fourteen-team league.
momentTwo golden routes return to the Listener League
A creative submission can claim one of the fourteen seats, the Megalabowl champion also enters, and the Listener League winner automatically returns to defend the title the following year.
momentThe Listener League is where Brooks and the Biggest Loser entered the story
The hosts say they met Brooks through the Listener League and also met Bryan Ketron as the Biggest Loser through it, then note that several people became part of the show through those relationships.
momentGroinIndex reopens in Groin City
After a quiet week, the recurring GroinIndex becomes active amid injuries to several players. The list turns into Groin City and a confused prescription for runner and butterfly stretches.
momentAbsent Mike still sends in the Justin Fields request
As the quarterback countdown closes, the hosts say Mike specifically wanted Justin Fields mentioned as the late-round option and explain the request with a simple recurring truth: Mike loves Justin Fields.
summaryEpisode notes
Complete transcript review, a full-runtime storyboard, and targeted direct-video checks show only Andy and Jason speaking live at the desk while the full-size cardboard Jay Griz bear occupies absent Mike's host position and microphone for the entire episode. The opening calls it a two-man show, names Jay Griz in the house, tells Al to fire the ready cue, says Mike will return tomorrow, and declares that Jay gets his song once August begins. Published video briefly cuts to the animated bear card reading I'M JAY GRIZ!, but Jay never speaks live or moves. The show also marks its August return to five weekday episodes, Saturday research specials, and Sunday Live as content-machine mode powered by the full team. The Listener League announcement is exceptionally explicit: submissions are accepted for one week, emailed to [email protected], and should be a cool, unique demonstration that the entrant will be fun to play with. The hosts reject standings résumés and two-paragraph essays, note that hundreds apply, and say they use a fourteen-team format to admit more listeners. Andy says he has won the Listener League twice, Jason admits he has never won, and absent Mike is teased as the usual standings straggler. The Megalabowl champion also earns a Listener League place, while the Listener League winner returns the next year. The hosts say the contest is where they met Brooks and Bryan Ketron—the Biggest Loser—and that several people became part of the show through it. Later, the recurring GroinIndex is described as very active amid a pileup of groin injuries and a Groin City detour into stretching technique. At the close, absent Mike specifically requests Justin Fields as the late-round quarterback mention, and the hosts say he loves Fields, reinforcing a fixation first stated years earlier. Routine quarterback rankings and camp reports are omitted except where they create these show-personality facts.
