    Ep. 390 Packers Optimism vs. Reality, Schedule Storylines & One Word Chaos
    May 13 2026
    Alex Strouf and Will Sommers roll through a Wednesday edition of Mr. Irrelevant—without Josh DiMaggio (again)—and break out the full “list edition” of the show. Strouf lays out his top reasons for optimism and concern heading into the Packers’ 2026 season, from Jordan Love’s prime and a revamped defense to lingering questions at cornerback, running back depth, and the ever-nerve-wracking kicker position. The guys also preview key storylines ahead of the NFL schedule release, including potential marquee matchups, Thanksgiving game possibilities, and which early-season games could define Green Bay’s trajectory. Elsewhere, it’s classic Mr. Irrelevant chaos: coffee spills, Will’s elite history of accidental drink disasters, a deep dive into bizarre sports stories during One Word Wednesday, and an unexpectedly hilarious segment where Strouf admits to not seeing some of the most iconic movies ever made—leading to a crowdsourced “must-watch” list from listeners. The episode wraps with golf talk, weekend plans, and just enough randomness to keep things perfectly on-brand.

  • Ep. 389 Giannis Trade Rumors, Brewers Sweep the Yankees & Packers Kicker Reset

    Ep. 389 Giannis Trade Rumors, Brewers Sweep the Yankees & Packers Kicker Reset
    May 11 2026
    Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio and Will Sommers open Monday’s Mr. Irrelevant reacting to the latest report that the Milwaukee Bucks are open to trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo. They break down whether this is a true turning point in the Giannis saga or simply the Bucks doing due diligence with the NBA Draft Combine underway and every team in the same place. The conversation centers on how much control Giannis has over his next destination, what kind of return Milwaukee should prioritize, and whether a deal could realistically happen before the NBA Draft. The guys also debate the complicated future of the franchise if Giannis is moved, including the challenge of balancing young players, draft picks, and the reality of Damian Lillard’s contract. They discuss possible suitors like Miami, Golden State, Boston, Cleveland, New York, the Lakers and Oklahoma City, while questioning whether any team can put together the kind of offer that truly makes sense for the Bucks. From there, the show shifts to the Brewers after a statement weekend sweep of the Yankees. Strouf, Josh and Will highlight Jacob Misiorowski’s dominant outing, his triple-digit fastball, and why fans should not take his rare talent for granted. They also discuss Brice Turang’s walk-off home run on Mother’s Day, his rise into national recognition, and whether he is becoming one of the Brewers’ biggest stars. The show wraps with Packers kicker talk after Brandon McManus’ release, leaving rookie Trey Smack as the likely favorite for the job. The guys compare Smack’s college profile to past Packers kicker experiments, wonder how much pressure comes with relying on a rookie, and close with a quick NBA playoff detour after Victor Wembanyama’s ejection against Minnesota.

    Ep. 388 Tyrod Taylor Reaction, Jonathan Gannon’s Defense & Josh’s Kentucky Derby Recap
    May 6 2026
    Alex Strouf, Josh DiMaggio and Will Sommers react to the Packers signing veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor and what the move says about Green Bay’s backup quarterback plan behind Jordan Love. They debate how much Taylor has left, whether Desmond Ridder was ever a real option, and why the position has become more important in recent seasons. The guys also discuss Jonathan Gannon’s first comments as defensive coordinator, the ceiling and floor for the Packers defense, and Bobby Babich’s memorable introduction to Green Bay media. The show wraps with One Word Wednesday, Timothée Chalamet Knicks skepticism, Bryson DeChambeau’s PGA Tour future, and Josh recapping his long, chaotic, and profitable trip to the Kentucky Derby.
