Oh many what a week in DC! The Commanders got a deal done with DC to redevelop RFK and the renders look amazing! The NFL draft came and went with so many compelling storylines and "villain" arcs being created, and locally the team did a mediocre/great job... depending on whom you ask! The NBA Draft lottery is a week away, the Nationals don't stink, and the CAPS are trying their best to not-screw-things-up! Plus the boys watched the Accountant for OMC! What a week, what a show!

Lock it in for this thiccccc episode! The boys are excited because the city is on fire over Ovi and the #Capitals. The team isn't as hot as they were but Ovi did break the record; tied at home, record set on the road, and the belly flop celebration was awesome! A few weeks back a topic was brought up regarding 90's #NBA that's still being discussed, baseball is in full swing with the #Nationals playing better, march madness is finally ending (watching live), and the boys lock in on Val Kilmer as the Saint for #OMC plus Ready Player One... it gets hot, with one person rage-quitting. Yup. Enjoy.

Wednesday Apr 02, 2025
Bit of a strange one this week with injuries and illness wrecking the cast and crew of DTC. May not be our best show ever, but the streak lives on! It doesn't happen often but all three DC pro teams might lose as of the taping, Ovi stuck on 892 but really coulda/shoula been 893 as the Caps fall flat over last few games, plus, March Mad/Sadness is almost over... can Cooper Flagg + AJ Johnson catapult the Wiz forward? Read that again... yup! They are THAT interesting and the Wiz front office KNOW what they are doing! For the weekly installment of the OMC the boys review 1994's True Lies and pay their respects to the great "Iceman" Val Kilmer... this is a 90min fatty! Enjoy!

Thursday Dec 26, 2024
It's a holiday week but that doesn't mean we skip a show! The #Commanders pulled off a stunning victory on Sunday over the #Eagles and got flexed into Sunday Night Football vs the #Falcons. The Christmas Day sports rotation was out of control between the NFL and NBA and while the NFL games were largely boring the NBA had an awesome day with an average margin of just 5 pts between winners and losers... but nobody watched! Pete from Philly chimes in from overseas and Stevie shares a largely redacted story... oops. + EPL Boxing Day GoalRush in 4k is awesome! Merry Christmas!

Monday Jul 17, 2023

It's been a long winter but the night is darkest before the dawn. We are potentially just days away from the end of the Synder in DC and Joe and FP still think its not going to happen... plus Ron is terribly overrated according to Joe and why FP thinks the defense is closer to good than bad. The boys also talk about other DC sports happenings and set the stage for a revival.

The Commanders look worse defensively but the real chatter is about the Lions on HARD KNOCKS... Tiger isn't going to LIV, Manti T'eo has a must watch documentary on Netflix that must be watched ... and what do you expect from a Game of Thrones reboot/spin-off? Welcome back to DTC.

Could the end be near for Commanders owner Dan Snyder after leaked reports show ticket sales were padded and not disclosed to the other NFL owners? What if the team moves to London, could another team be relocated to DC? Plus, remembering #7 and a quick chat about the Capitals and how they remind Joe of old guys playing basketball stringing together wins by outsmarting the competition. Listen now as FP and Joe discuss it all and remember you can live tweet the show anytime from any social media platform!

Monday Feb 21, 2022
Monday Feb 21, 2022
Stevie and Joe are on the mics and are ready to talk about everything post-NFL. Should the Saudi's standup a rival to the PGA? Can the NBA ever recapture the magic of the early 2000s east/west all-star game and dunk contests? What does a real offer to Juan Soto look like if you are the Nationals + Zim's legacy is sealed in DC.

Dallas Takeover FedEx; WFT 6-7; Wiz Drop Another One; Hot Chocolate
Tuesday Dec 14, 2021
Tuesday Dec 14, 2021
Stevie and Joe fire up the mics for a rare mid-day show but there is just too much to discuss to wait any longer! Dallas took over FedEx and the brave WFT fans that paid to go to the game the first half was terrible, the second half was better, but the team just couldn't pull out a win in the end. WFT still control their playoff destiny but need a win against Philly to keep the train on its tracks... how can they do that without half their defensive starters?? + Wiz are sliding and Beal may be done + why is hot chocolate so good!?

Joe and Stevie catch up on a plethora of topics as a new football season begins. Fitz is clearly QB1 and everyone SHOULD be ok with that. DC still hurting after the Nationals big trade but how long until they are competitive again? Could the NBA take a page out of the MLB / NHL playbook and have the Nets and Knicks play in Rucker Park? What is old is new again! +the debut of our new show intro! (still working out some technical details... but we are excited to be back in the booth creating content!)

Redskins Trade for a QB; Trade Away a DB; CV19 Ends Sports
Monday Mar 23, 2020
Monday Mar 23, 2020
CoronaVirus continues to crush the souls of sports fans around the world and with no end in sight, the boys at DTC are thankful to be healthy, bitter at the lack of live sports content, and hopeful a cure/vaccine will be found soon. NFL free agency is well underway and the Redskins made an interesting moving nabbing one Carolina QB and trading away a starting DB to a bitter rival in the Pacific northwest. What else do the Redskins need to do this offseason, and if Joey B falls to two in the draft... what would YOU do? #HTTR

NBA Season Suspended; Corona Virus Thoughts; Bernie Bro's
Wednesday Mar 11, 2020
Wednesday Mar 11, 2020
Stevie and Joe were literally caught speechless when the #NBA announced the season had been suspended, so they took 10 mins, gathered their thoughts and then turned on the mics! The NBA season may resume with playoffs only based on current seeding, or may have play-in games, who knows, right now however, there will be no more games. European soccer is already halting games as well, travel to Europe is suspended for 30 days, and yes, #CoronaVirus #COVID19 is to blame and not going anywhere anytime soon. Somehow one thing leads to another and the boys end up discussing the democratic primaries, the lack of presidential leadership, the stock market tanking, and what may come next here in DC. This is a unique show from two people doing their best to work through all the information and share their personal thoughts without fanning the flames of fear. We will be ok America. Stay Strong. (and wash your hands!)

Nats Wild Card Recap; Won-Soto; Corbin v Dodgers
Thursday Oct 03, 2019
Thursday Oct 03, 2019
The Nationals did it! Hail the Nationals! Won-Soto came up big AGAIN! Mad-max started off a bit rough but eventually settled down and Strasburg put on his big-boy pants and took care of things when the team needed him the most... and through it all... DC fans came out early and stayed late for the incredible celebratory beer-baths that started in the eighth inning and continued until the final pitch! This.Is.It.DC. This Nationals team is not the same as years past... they are the most resilient, even if not the most talented, we have had here in years and we should all embrace it! Next up is the Dodgers... but fear not, P.Corbin gets his first postseason start (ever) after his best season (ever) and is capable of stealing game one for the Nationals! Listen, get ready, and lets go Nats! N-A-T-S Nats Nats Nats!
