  • Fixing The NBA’s Problem, The Greatest College Basketball Weekend of All Time, Darryn Peterson Saga Continues, & The Watching Hour
    Feb 21 2026

    In Episode 31 of the SimmBros Pod, Chris and Cam bounce from Presidents Day vibes and “trip vs. vacation” philosophy (yes—vacation starts on the plane) into a full NBA All-Star Weekend teardown: keep the 3-Point Contest, fix (or kill) the Dunk Contest, and introduce a Legends 3-Point Contest featuring names like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Korver, Nash, JJ Redick, and more. Then they go deep on the NBA’s real problems—too many games, back-to-backs, tanking, the lottery, and the chaos of pick protections—and pitch solutions that would make every game feel like an event again. After that, they switch gears to MLB’s new ball/strike challenge system with a hilarious “who gets the Greenlight ABS” list, preview a massive college hoops weekend (Michigan vs Duke, Arizona vs Houston), and rant about how replay is about to ruin March Madness. They close with a spicy QB ranking debate, a brutal review of Ford vs. Ferrari, and reveal they’re cooking up something big for the SimmBros community.

  • A Seattle Beatdown, Mike Macdonald is on his way to being an all-time great, Fixing tanking in the NBA, & The Watching Hour
    Feb 14 2026

    In Episode 30 of the SimmBros Pod, Chris and Cam break down the Seahawks’ dominant Super Bowl win over the Patriots, analyzing how Mike McDonald’s historic “Dark Side Defense” dismantled Drake Maye and exposed the gap between true CEO head coaches and play-calling offensive “contractor” coaches. They explain how Seattle’s disguised coverages, Devon Witherspoon corner blitz wrinkle, and elite special teams execution created a complete team victory—and why leadership, belief, and coaching structure ultimately decide championships. The guys debate Drake Maye’s future after a rough Super Bowl showing, rank the 2024 rookie QB class, and discuss whether his MVP-caliber regular season was inflated by a perfect-storm schedule. They close by pivoting to the NBA, exposing tanking, Adam Silver’s leadership failures, and how reducing games could restore the league’s integrity. Plus: leadership lessons from Bill Belichick, belief vs doubt in high-pressure moments, and Watching Hour reactions to Spotlight.

    Feb 7 2026

    In Episode 29 of the SimmBros Pod, Chris and Cam break down their “Super Bowl episode” with a full preview of Seahawks vs. Patriots—storylines, injuries, coaching angles, and why they think this game could turn into a pass-heavy chess match. They debate Sam Darnold’s pressure tendencies, Drake Maye’s composure, and the “unsung hero” plays that can swing a one-game championship. The guys lock in score predictions (plus some betting leans), then pivot to quick-hit reactions on NFL Honors (including a spicy MVP/award-criteria rant), the NBA trade deadline chaos, and a “Watching Hour” review of Bugonia—twists, ratings, and whether it’s worth your time. Plus: plenty of classic tangents, Super Bowl food vibes, and the energy of two brothers watching the big game together for the first time in years.

  • Reacting to Championship Weekend + A Light Super Bowl Preview, The Top 15 Super Bowls We Remember, & The Watching Hour
    Jan 31 2026

    In Episode 28 of the SimmBros Pod, Chris and Cam recap a chaotic Championship Weekend and zoom in on the real difference-makers: weather, coaching, and late-game decision making. They break down Patriots vs. Broncos—why brutal snow games cross the line from “football grit” to “bad product,” why every new stadium should be retractable roof + real grass, and the fourth-down choice that literally swung the game. Then they dive into Seahawks vs. Rams, a back-and-forth classic that turns into a masterclass on clock management, doubling up before halftime, and why you can’t be selectively aggressive as a head coach. They give Seattle their flowers (Sam Darnold, JSN, and a fearless game plan), set the stage for a Seahawks–Patriots Super Bowl preview, and debate spreads, totals, and how a close, defense-first Super Bowl might actually play out. To close, they rank the last 15 Super Bowls, talk the “McVay/Shanahan coaching tree” problem with game management, react to the Belichick Hall of Fame controversy, and finish with The Watching Hour—reviewing Weapons and teeing up their next movie.

    Jan 24 2026

    In Episode 27 of the SimmBros Pod, Chris and Cam unpack a wild opening round of the NFL playoffs, starting with Bills–Broncos and how Buffalo’s self-inflicted mistakes collided with Denver’s relentless, disguised pressure. They move through Seahawks–49ers as a defensive masterclass from Seattle, Patriots–Texans as a raw, turnover-heavy slog that raises real questions about ball security, and Rams–Bears, where fourth-down aggression and late-game execution decided everything.

    From there, the guys preview Patriots–Broncos with the Jarett Stidham wild card and what Sean Payton might have in store, then break down Seahawks–Rams as a chess match between McVay’s offense and Mike Macdonald’s imposing defense. They wrap with a rapid-fire coaching carousel segment and The Watching Hour, reviewing John Wick 1 and picking what’s next.

They break down Divisional Playoff Weekend with matchup-by-matchup predictions (Broncos–Bills, Seahawks–49ers, Texans–Patriots, Rams–Bears), digging into coaching philosophy, “rest vs. rust,” defensive game-planning, and why momentum swings matter more in win-or-go-home football. The guys then pivot to the NFL head coaching carousel, debating the best and worst openings and what young coordinators should prioritize before taking a head coaching job. They wrap with “The Watching Hour,” reviewing Man on Fire and teeing up John Wick 1 & 2 for next week.

    Oct 6 2025

    In Episode 24 of the SimmBros Pod, Chris and Cam bring Kobe-level focus to the full Sports Equinox: why playoff baseball is the best postseason in America, the tiny edges that swing games (that 1–1 pitch!), and why a five-game MLB Division Series can hide who’s truly better. They break down Dodgers-Phillies, the rest-vs-rust debate, and a Red Sox third-base coach moment that turns into this week’s life lesson: take the risk or lose the chance—but make it calculated. Then it’s an NFL rapid fire: teams quitting on coaches on national TV, Zac Taylor’s Bengals discipline disaster, why head coaches must coach all three phases, and how great coaching staffs (McVay, O’Connell) raise backup QBs. Plus: Jags-Chiefs and Broncos-Eagles previews, the truth about “analytics say go for it,” and Brady’s challenge to QBs to demand protection.
