Many of us have heard the saying "A Dream Deferred" (if you haven't, please pause this Podcast and go check out Langston Huges' powerful poem entitled "Harlem.") and we take that to mean dreams that go unmet, unbaked, unactualized - but what if that dream was not deferred but detoured? What if you had an epiphany and realized that your visions, pla…

Episode Notes Please enjoy this looooong discussion with the excellent guest John Rhoads about the terrible movie Jingle All the Way.

This episode is just a fun chat with Gary and Abby as we recap our visit to my parents in Virginia. Also Lily terrorizes the house a little bit at night. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium from the Free Music Archive. P…

Nick returns to the figurative cohost chair, and we discuss the second week of the playoffs and look ahead to Championship Week. In addition, we discuss the Golden Globes at length, take a detour into a bodybuilding discussion, and make the BWAAAAAAMP noise from Inception a lot of times. My sincere apologies for forgetting to discuss the Best Actre…

In an extra special and extra long episode, I am joined by guest host John Rhoads. Of course we talk a little about Round 1 of the playoffs and look ahead to Round 2, as well as the Boose Bowl, but as one might expect, the halftime sort of takes over the show. During halftime, we talk about gratuitous Simpsons references, Pokemon Go, Advent Calenda…

Nick and I recap the conclusion of the regular season, and look ahead to the first round of the playoffs. But the highlight (lowlight?) of the show is again one of us (me) embarrassing ourselves by singing in screeching falsetto. Enjoy! Timestamps: 0:01:24 - Week 13 Recap 0:23:17 - Podcast Halftime 0:40:41 - FANCY Podcast Karaoke: Round 2 0:52:18 -…

Nick and I briefly looked at Week 12, and looked ahead to Week 13. But the real star of the show is YOU, the listener. We got some fun listener questions for this episode, and as a result it is certainly a FANCY Podcast record for featuring the most voices. Way to go, team. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies po…

Returning from our one-week hiatus, Nick and I extremely quickly look at Weeks 10 and 11, with an eye toward the standings and the playoff outlook.

Time stamps: 0:01:01 - Week 10 and Week 11 Recap/Standings Overview 0:19:28 - Podcast Ha…

We're moving on from Halloween and back to our regularly scheduled programing, looking back at Week 9, and looking ahead to Week 10, AKA Rivalry Week: Round 2. But I'm going to be honest with you, the real star of the show is Podcast Halftime, which starts at 0:15:40. It's a good one this week, I promise. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessl…

I solemnly swear to not make these incredibly long in the future, but there was just too much good Halloween content to keep it manageably sized. My apologies. Abby came on the show for a supersized discussion of Halloween movies, and Nick made a special appearance for the halftime. Mild spoilers are sprinkled throughout, but in case you want to av…

Apologies for another lengthy episode, but I think we had some fun, and hopefully you enjoy it. We looked back at Week 7, looked ahead to Week 8, and chatted about the worst reality TV shows we are guilty of watching. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix of "Re…

A look back at Week 6 and ahead to Week 7, as I continue to spiral out of control and the episodes creep longer and longer. Halftime includes a look at the recent Jokers, and the Stats Corner looks at whether the Curse of the Boose is real. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, …

More FANCY fun, looking back at week 5, looking ahead to week 6, and a multi-part, multi-theme-songed Podcast Halftime. Shockingly, there were no Nick Chubb jokes this episode, except the episode title. Also, please be on the lookout for a fantastic, prescient prediction at 42:27. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Al…

Another edging slightly longer and longer football conversation with Nick, recapping Week 4 and looking ahead to Week 5. Now with 25% less Nick falsetto! Seriously though, there is probably more Nick falsetto than you might expect. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edi…

Another somewhat quick football conversation with Nick, recapping Week 3 and looking ahead to Week 4. But trust me, you're going to want to stick around to the end for this one.

A deliberately brisker football conversation with Nick, wrapping up Week 2 and looking ahead to Week 3. Also, to keep you on your toes I have inserted a non-football segment in the middle. The Podcast Halftime concept was shamelessly stolen from the Easy Allies podcast. The theme song, as always, is an edited mix of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consor…

A relatively deep dive with Nick, recapping Week 1 and looking ahead to Week 2. Plus a surprise, totally not fake new sponsor! As always, the theme song is a modified version of "Reflections" by Anti-Pop Consortium, from the Free Music Archive. Feel free to write in with questions or comments to podcast@fancyfantasyfootball.com. Thanks!…

An extremely long and in-depth, and mildly informed recap of the FANCY draft and a look at each team. Spoilers: most teams are "boom or bust." This episode features extensive references to DK Metcalf, some bad Chicago accent work, and frequent mispronunciation of player names (by me, not Nick). As always, the songs in the episode are from the Free …
