Its been 133 days 10 hours 45 minutes and 55 seconds since I last posted a new episode of the Multiple Podcast Disorder Podcast.  More important is the fact that's it's been that long since I had my heart in the Mic.

Episode 10: Spider 2Y Banana, John Gruden calls an audible goes deep for Antonio Brown.

As the tittle mentions episode 10 was an audible for myself and my co-host.   Kris and I learned of the Antonio Brown trade and changed our show from one covering Tight ends and Wr's in the NFL Combine to all about Gruden, the trade with the Steelers and how this effects the Raiders draft plans.  

My Co-Host and I have a fun time discussing the craziness of Gruden and his possible picks at the 4th spot in the draft.  We give a cray nonsense pick as well as a few good fits for the team.  We also discuss the level of hype that surrounds players coming out of big schools such as Alabama and whether this hype helps or hurts them  I also take some time to rant on Alabama and their strength of schedule in the later weeks of the season.

Kris takes the lead and asks listeners to let go of the anger towards the bad call in the playoff game featuring the Rams and the Saints. we discuss bad clock management, Robert krafts illicit troubles in Florida and the refs receiving special benefits. 


All in all it was a great show and we hope your ready to listen cause we were ready to talk.

Episode 7 :Tears of a clown, How some of my favorite movies and Tv shows made me cry

Episode 7 is a personal one.  I take you on a journey and talk about how and why some of my favorite movies and TV shows make me cry.  Becoming emotional from watching a Movie or TV show  has a lot to do with how well the film or show makes you become invested in the characters.  In episode 7, I use 4 examples of how this was done using the films Major League and Tears of the Sun and TV shows like Marvels Runaways and Voltron.  

I also experimented with some new intro and outro music so hit me up and let me know if you like it.   Intro music is from Remix Maniacs  and the outro music is from Sparx Beats.


Enjy the show
