Speaking for Sport — Sat, 11 Jan 2020 11:00:00 GMT

It's an end of the decade extravaganza that just happens to be about a week and a half too late. But it's truly never too late to celebrate the decade that was the 2010's. So how did our troublesome trio send off the decade that was? They each made their own top-10 list of movies panned by critics and/or the general public that they love. It was a task so hard one of them failed miserably and had to redo their list on the fly.

Shenanigans ensue. Ring in the new decade with the first episode of Is This Your King of this decade (ok the second episode sue us).

We're back with an all-new bag of tricks or maybe the same bag of tricks carefully rebranded under a new name and for our first trick, we talk about the dumpster fire that is Houston sports. Wait what's changed again? It gets dark in the first episode as talk about Houston Texans DeShaun Watson's numerous allegations of sexual assault levied over the last week.

After that, we shift into a much lighter conversation -- a different former of misogyny with the NCAA's much different handling between the mens' and womens' March Madness accommodations.

Speaking for Sport — Sat, 25 Jan 2020 11:00:00 GMT

While Terrell was still on daddy duties; his fill-in, Edd White III had a take so shocking that it flipped the whole show structure on its head. Instead of someone defending a movie they love, he attacked a movie, or rather movies, he hates. If you can believe it, someone out there hates the beloved ending to the Toy Story franchise. Does Edd survive such a heinous take? Well, here's a hint, even his fiance was disgusted and had to appear on the podcast.

Episode 11 -- White People (& The Astros) Hate Regulations

Speaking for Sport — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 11:00:00 GMT

No Austin Brezina for the second time in the shows short tenure and with no replacement in sight, Terrell and D.R. go it alone as they talk about their favorite punching bag -- the Houston Astros and their tendency to not like rules and regulations. The conversation goes about how you would expect without Austin, meaning it goes careening off a cliff into the danger zone.

Episode 8 -- New Vick, Who Dis? ft Daniel Davidson

Speaking for Sport — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 11:00:00 GMT

The guys also decided to talk a little bit of San Antonio Spurs basketball and D.R. went on another Star Wars rant. You can tell Terrell was really listening this episode, and if you get that reference, you deserve a successful New Years' resolution.

Happy New Years. Bring it in with us.

Speaking for Sport — Wed, 11 Dec 2019 11:00:00 GMT

Tim Ryan didn't set the sports world ablaze with his insensitive remarks on Lamar Jackson's ability to play fake but he did cause a rousing discussion between the guys on this week's episode of The Week-Ended Take.

H is for Hell: H is for Hoo....Hoooo..Hope!?

Speaking for Sport — Sun, 04 Apr 2021 16:50:08 GMT

Zip gets all juiced up about his stupid Astros beating the A's on opening day. And no an A's fan doesn't write these. He talks about feeling the joy of victory before briefly touching on DeShaun Watson and his legal team's latest defense against sexual assault allegations. He lightly touches on the Rockets before using philosophy and fluffy words to absolve Astros fans from rooting for a cheating team. Honestly, it's a solid reminder of the Astros fans perspective and all the reasons it would be hard to just start rooting for a new team. Unfortunately, slime in the ice machine right before Zip closes the podcast. STUPID BIRDS!!

Production note: This podcast was delayed in release till Sunday because of life events.

H is for Hell: Wins in the Stros' Machine

Speaking for Sport — Fri, 09 Apr 2021 15:07:16 GMT

Zip lightly touches on the latest in the DeShaun Watson sexual assault allegations where apparently only expensive watches and cheap sandwiches will continue to sponsor him. Then he renews his Kelly Olynyk fan club card as he talks about the Rockets' abysmal season. Finally, he seemingly forgets baseball has 162 games as he gets super excited about the Astros first 7 games (6-1) record and numerous wins over the Oaklands A's to start the season (5). Is a feud brewing with the Speaking for Sports crew? Is one of them writing his descriptions? Who knows? Also drinking liberally and excessively into the mic, Zip?

Oh yeah and don't forget about the weekly Houston rugby shoutout. WATCH RUGBY!

Is This Your King -- The One Where D.R. fails to defend Amazing Spider-man 2 ft Daniel Davidson

Speaking for Sport — Sat, 04 Jan 2020 11:00:00 GMT

Wooooooo boy. Well, first things first -- Rest Peace Uncle Phil -- this episode concludes the Daniel Davidson trilogy. With Austin Brezina out again, Mr. Davidson fills in admirably. Less admirable was D.R's defense of Amazing Spider-man 2 starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. He takes the wrong tactic early and everything just blows up in his face immediately. This episode is one you have to hear to believe.

Don't bring an Andrew Garfield to a Tom Holland fight.

Episode 7 -- A Very Special Christmas Episode ft. Zero Mentions of Christmas

Speaking for Sport — Wed, 25 Dec 2019 12:05:30 GMT

Merry Christmas everyone or at least, that's what someone should have said at least one time during this episode but alas not one of our intrepid podcasters had the foresight to utter season's greetings even one time. However, they do make numerous jokes at Colby Covington's expense, do some bad African accents (just kidding Terrell Huff's accent is amazing but D.R's is woof), and rant about Chris Paul being police. It's a holiday episode with all the spirit of Christmas but no mentions of it. Tis the season to break a racist's jaw.

After an unsettling fourth quarter and a 41-16 Cowboys loss at the hands of the Washington Football Team, the Edd and Daniel come to verbal blows surrounding the ramifications of the Cowboys ridiculous fourth-quarter fake punt call. Daniel also serves up a hot plate of Jerry Jones to end the show in a grill for the ages.

And some other stuff (i.e. analysis) happens in between. Bon Appetit would be putting it mildly.

Tre Blanco brings the fire flames early by starting the podcast off immediately with "The Grill" and that steak is completely well done (1:45) but two failed predictions and another Dallas Cowboys loss later, Blanco and Davidson are still searching for answers with what ails their beloved team by studying the week four loss to the Cleveland Browns (9:14), looking ahead to week five's matchup with division rival New York Giants (41:05) and taking stock up the entire putrid division currently spearheaded by the Philadelphia Eagles (51:14).

Speaking for Sport — Sat, 13 Jun 2020 10:00:00 GMT

We're back from hiatus! But this show doesn't really prove that because we recorded this before Covid-19 was even really a thing. This episode featuring recurring guest Mariana Ovalle was just too good not to post even if it is a tad bit late. With Austin and Daniel taking one side and D.R. and Mariana taking another with a vanishing Thespian Papi in the middle, shenanigans ensue all episode long as they battle of Marvel's Infinity War-Endgame creaming filler err filling -- Captain Marvel.

Speaking for Sport — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 00:35:43 GMT

Zip touches briefly on the tragic turn in the DeShaun Watson saga twice in this episode before shifting towards the Rockets' consistent awfulness and trade of starting forward P.J. Tucker. The Rockets are so bad that Zip legitimately and unironically uses the phrase "eat their own balls" to describe being a member of the Rockets. Did you want some San Diego Rockets and/or San Diego sports history talk? No? Too bad, the team is that bad. Sit down and learn.

Houstazona Cardinals talk is back, babbbbbbbiee as Zip tangents into retired numbers talk through J.J. Watt number selection decisions! And somehow it lead into a touching and informative tangent on how the American League color barrier was broken in the MLB.
