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.

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!

The show starts off with a crazy admission from one cast member and his "shower brush"... its wild. And continues with a discussion of ridiculous social media morning routines before pivoting into sports. The #Commanders remain active in free agency adding another WR to a crowded room meanwhile a few states away a divisional rival the #Giants; added not one by two QBs to their roster (29m). March Madness rolls on with one local team surging forward(40m); #Capitals and Ovi gets to 888 and the OMC unites (61min mark) to review 1994's The Professional + a bonus movie (2018 Den of Thieves) added on the fly!

We are days away from the NCAA tournament and the endless discussion of brackets... yuck. Joe has officially rebranded March Madness into March Sadness because March is the first month of the year with no NFL action. Aaron Rodgers still undecided about where he will play next season holding the league hostage and more directly Russ Wilson. Locally the Wizards are "un-tanking" and the Capitals are ready ready ready for the post season... plus, the OMC reviews The Usual Suspects (1:03 start) with mixed feedback on the highly acclaimed film.

What is "legal tampering" exactly? ... how are all of these NFL deals being announced just minutes after the tampering period begins? Can anyone explain it? The #Commanders were super active landing a STUD offensive lineman via trade comfortably in his prime and DT "BigDaddy" Kinlaw. Did the #Rams get a little better or a lot better? #Cowboys are doing nothing so far, and the #Colts are spending a lot on defense? Switching to the ice, the #Capitals got a few wins over the past week AND the #Great8 closes to single digits in his quest for the record. Plus, the boys continue the (Offseason Movie Club; min 55:02) OMC discussing 2002's the Count of Monte Cristo... have you seen it?

What happened to the NBA all star break? Lebron ruined the NBA with his superteam nonsense, Joe has explanations, and the #Caps are super hot heading into the final stretch of the regular season.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, the 'skins went to Tampa and WON a playoff game for the first time in nearly 20 years! It was Mark B last time its Jayden D this time! Although the Commanders struggled they had the ball last and thats all that mattered. #Detroit fans are annoying and the #Lions are beatable... right?

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!

Tuesday Dec 03, 2024
Tuesday Dec 03, 2024
The boys are in the studio discussing the NFL at large after the Commanders dominating win over the Titans. One person who said they would "NEVER" return to Fedex Field made his first trip to NW Stadium and we think several of the guys logged close to zero minutes of football this weekend... which is shocking considering it was on TV four of the last five days! Would you rather face the Eagles or the Lions on their field in the playoffs + what shows are you watching? Join us!

Oh boy, the local football team is on a heater! The #Commanders win their 3rd in a row in convincing fashion and even the most stubborn must admit #JD5 is impressive.

Tuesday Sep 24, 2024
The boys are chopping it up after a huge primetime win for the Commanders on Monday night. Would you take Jayden or the field of QBs drafted this year to end with the best career? Changes in the Top5 and Low5 looking around the league and the P.Diddy news cycle will not stop and has the potential to take down factions of the Hollywood elite.

Offseason Champions; Ron TV; Wiz Snap 16 Game Skid, Tyson v Paul
Friday Mar 08, 2024
Friday Mar 08, 2024
Oh man... there is nothing like the offseason in Washington DC. Why does anyone cheer for the Commanders? Our former HC is now a talking head on ESPN and just in case you had interest in maybe the Capitals or Wizards both are not doing so well these days... Caps making trades while the Wiz lost 16 straight before an "upset" win vs the Hornets. Plus, why would you ever get in the ring with Mike Tyson? Mike might legit put a gap in Jake's chest if this fight ever happens!

49ers Lose Super Bowl; Reid + Mahomes Legacy; Comms Keep Hiring Coaches
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
How did the 49ers lose the big one? Chiefs started slow but ended perfectly and any discussion about best coach or QB of all time must include the current duo in KC. Looking forward the Commanders keep hiring coaches and the Marty's are still employed while in Florida... pitchers and catchers have officially reported!
