Rationable, reliable predictions 1:11:56

Play Pause

1+ y ago1:11:56

1:11:56

Did we miss the entire NFL season due to "personal reasons" (aka babies, weddings, and master's degrees)? Yes. But are we back to get wild about NFL free agency? You know we are. Plus: Noah rants about the Cowboys, we predict the Jerry Jones saga's future, and we lament the Kirk Cousins loss.

It's Better Than We Think...Probably 1:18:36

2y ago1:18:36

1:18:36

We're not quite sure it's time to panic about the Minnesota Vikings. At least one sleep-deprived host thinks so. Who's to say, really? We're talking Vikings' prospects for future success, the ability to "competitively rebuild," and the joy of finally enjoying a Minnesota Twins playoff win.

The Badwagon is Back 1:17:42

2y ago1:17:42

1:17:42

It's NFL preview time. How good are the Vikings? Will the Lions win the North? And, most importantly, who is the badwagon for 2023? We know it's been a minute. One of us had a baby. Another got engaged. We're busy. But the NFL season is too important for us to miss. In other words, we are so back.

A Learning Podcast 1:10:59

2y ago1:10:59

1:10:59

Don't say we never teach you anything. Shohei Ohtani's MVP hopes, the Oakland A's ownership, and the sadness surrounding midwestern baseball teams are our topics of choice, but you already know that we go far beyond that.

1
The Worst Owner in the World 1:11:03

2+ y ago1:11:03

1:11:03

We're talking Shohei Ohtani trade potential, what happens if Kirk Cousins isn't extended, and the beauty of power washing.

Sho-Time in March 1:04:23

2+ y ago1:04:23

1:04:23

March Madness. The World Baseball Classic. People online getting weird for no particular reason. Spring is here (sort of) and so are the hottest takes in sports.

How the Sausage is Made 1:33:25

2+ y ago1:33:25

1:33:25

Noah tells us about the science of sleep, we bid farewell to Minnesota's (purple and) golden boy, Adam Thielen, and we play our all-time favorite game that we definitely didn't just start using as a segment a few weeks ago: Keep or Yeet

1
Chaos Mode 1:30:20

2+ y ago1:30:20

1:30:20

The MLB has activated its rule-changing powers once again, this time adjusting a whole host of potentially game-breaking rules while simultaneously fighting with a billion-dollar company for the future rights to stream baseball games to people who actually want to watch them. The outcome? Totally unpredictable. The content? Magnificent. Bonus: tune…

Keep or Yeet 1:24:44

2+ y ago1:24:44

1:24:44

The Q4 Sadcast is back and better than ever. The Vikings are out, the Cowboys are out, and Noah's going to tell you why the Cowboys might never win a championship again. We're also making Super Bowl predictions and recapping a wild NBA trade deadline.

1
Playoff Payoff 1:23:15

2+ y ago1:23:15

1:23:15

We're doing the unthinkable: trying to correctly pick a bracket in the NFL playoffs. We've never been right before but maybe, just maybe, we'll be right this time.

1
The World's Largest Tight End (and Other, Smaller Players) 1:12:03

3y ago1:12:03

1:12:03

It's the first week of the NFL season, which means nothing except that our show is somehow more structured than usual. We're talking selling out, cross-sport drafting fantasy football rankings, team names, and so much more.

1
Too Many Baseball Players 1:16:46

3y ago1:16:46

1:16:46

Everyone's favorite dumbos are back with a brand new MLB trade deadline special. Did you know that there are literally thousands of players in professional baseball? And did you know that trying to track them in trades leads to confusion and mistakes? Well, we found out today. Fun times were had.

The Most Popular Show on...Podbean? 1:12:04

3+ y ago1:12:04

1:12:04

It's been a long time coming, in a way. The world's most inconsistent yet somehow dedicated podcast is back with another episode, and we're dissecting NFL power rankings. Who's good? Who's bad? And should we be at all hopeful that the Vikings will have a winning record?

1
The Other Side of the Mississippi (and Other Things We Didn't Know) 1:09:12

3+ y ago1:09:12

1:09:12

These last few weeks have sure been something, haven't they. And it wouldn't be a wild time in sports if you didn't have the three most unqualified sports experts arguing about it here.

1
The Fastest Route to Waffle House 1:17:28

3+ y ago1:17:28

1:17:28

We've been quiet recently, but the world of sports certainly hasn't. We've emerged with a brand new episode to look at the fallout from the MLB lockout, ranking trade moves so far in the NFL off-season, and working through our complicated feelings about the quality of this show. If you like Q4, you should leave us a review. And tell your friends. B…

Let's Get Weird 53:08

3+ y ago53:08

53:08

We didn't have a lot of time. We're busy people. But we needed to talk about everything that's happened in the last couple of weeks, so sit down with us as TJ eats a casserole, Noah sits in the airport, and Anthony deals with their shenanigans. As always, we're having a great time.

1
Root Beer Quest 2k22 1:19:51

3+ y ago1:19:51

1:19:51

New year, same us. We've got a great episode that fits our standard ratio of 5% sports talk, 95% dumb jokes and conversation. Come for the talk about our quest to find the best root beer (and why novelty sodas can always be found at hardware stores), stay for our highly contentious sports talk as we try to make some sense of the NFL playoff race.…

1
A Lesson in Sports (and Grammar) 1:28:04

4y ago1:28:04

1:28:04

The MLB might be locked out, but boy are we locked in. We're talking about the MLB lockout, sports TV deals, and letting ourselves have some angry tirades about our favorite teams.

1
Taking a Kwik Trip 1:12:36

4y ago1:12:36

1:12:36

Sports fans need to know: what's the superior gas station chain? Quik Trip or Kwik Trip? We're also talking about the NFL, figuring out (to our own surprise) that we're only HALFWAY THROUGH THE SEASON, and seeing if maybe THIS is the week when we actually decide who the best NFL team is.

1
The Stefanski Fan Club 1:14:16

4y ago1:14:16

1:14:16

The NFL trade deadline passed by and...nothing really happened (aside from one blockbuster, Von Miller trade). But OH BOY is the NFL on fire with stuff to talk about. Are the Minnesota Vikings bad or not? Is Kevin Stefanski the reason OBJ is leaving? Who's the best team in the NFL, anyway? All that and so much more on this week's episode. Also, tha…

Driving Down Boof Bonser Lane 1:08:12

4y ago1:08:12

1:08:12

This is a city-planning podcast now. (Not really, but we did feel the need to mention Boof Bonser in our off-topic discussion about the naming of roads). We're MOSTLY using today's episode to rank the 5 best teams in the NFL, talk about the woes of being the Detroit Lions, and we're giving our World Series predictions (but we're definitely not happ…

A Load of Shildt 1:10:00

4y ago1:10:00

1:10:00

We recorded this episode hours after Mike Shildt got spontaneously fired. So we've obviously got opinions. Plus, we're discussing whether the Minnesota Vikings are good, terrible, or maybe somehow both. Oh, and we're planning out how we would go about opening up our own Little Caeser's franchise, because that's probably going to be our next busines…

Badwagon Fans 1:19:39

4y ago1:19:39

1:19:39

We've invented a new word yet again. Hop on the "Badwagon" and ride with us into glory. Fun topics in today's show: -conspiracy theories about the Minnesota Vikings -hype (and stress) about MLB Wild Card games -ranking cheap pizza, for some reason It's yet another bonkers episode. Hope you like it.

If You're Listening to This, We're Probably Back 1:27:00

4y ago1:27:00

1:27:00

Why have we been away for so long? It's really tough to say. But hey, we're back, and this time we're in person. As always, we're sad about the Twins while talking all things baseball before swinging over to the NFL to predict the Vikings' win-loss record for 2021-22. We're having a good time.

1
Aaron Rodgers: A True Midwesterner 1:08:05

4+ y ago1:08:05

1:08:05

What could be better than this, just guys being dudes, laughing about the downfall of the Packers. We also chat baseball hopes, the chances of the Wild winning a playoff series, and we get a glimpse into the power rankings of the NFL after the draft.

Gumballs for Kirk Cousins 1:08:18

4+ y ago1:08:18

1:08:18

NFL free agency has started, and boy has it been a doozy. We’re trying to figure out which of our favorite teams will (obviously) win the Super Bowl this season with the free agents they’ve picked up. And, as we clearly know, the Vikings, the Cowboys, and the Browns are all perfectly set up to win the Big Game this season. And this prediction has n…

Ohio Doesn't Exist 1:01:07

4+ y ago1:01:07

1:01:07

It was bound to happen eventually. We've dug ourselves a hole so deep that there doesn't appear to be a good way out of it. TJ's denying the existence of Ohio, Anthony and Noah are hopping on the Baltimore Orioles (future) bandwagon, and none of us are confident in our ability to start the show on time. It's just another beautiful day here on The Q…

Memories of Mike Remmers 1:07:27

4+ y ago1:07:27

1:07:27

There's a lot we need to talk about today. What makes someone a great athlete? Why doesn't the MLB like their fans? Why do we record so early on Saturday mornings? We've got questions, and we attempt to find some answers.

1
A Seemingly Mid-Budget Production 52:08

4+ y ago52:08

52:08

Your favorite podcast hosts take on the big questions this week, like "What would the craziest NFL trade be?" and "Will the Cardinals actually be good this year?" We don't get any answers, but hey. At least we're asking questions.

1
Every Single GOAT 1:07:56

4+ y ago1:07:56

1:07:56

There’s a lot of debate about the G.O.A.T. in every sport. Tom Brady vs Aaron Rodgers, Lebron James vs Kobe Bryant, so on, so forth. All of these arguments are fine and good, but we wanted to go a step further: who is the G.O.A.T. in every sport? Who’s the G.O.A.T. based on literally nothing but our very skewed opinion? Well, we found out. And it w…

We'll See Where This Goes 1:00:31

4+ y ago1:00:31

1:00:31

Well, it's the first episode of the new year. We're trying a brand new strategy, called "just going for it, bud." The jury's still out on whether it'll work, but hey. We've made it this far. We're talking NFL playoffs, insulting the New York Jets, and inventing yet another awful hashtag. Pretty much the usual.…

The Curse of the Minnesota Kicker 1:07:21

5y ago1:07:21

1:07:21

Let's Make Kirk Mad (Again) 55:19

5y ago55:19

55:19

Everything in this Episode is Wrong 1:00:00

5y ago1:00:00

1:00:00

Well, look, we gave it a shot. We really did! But we didn't say anything correct in this episode. Very sorry. We'll get it next time, we promise.

Like To-Mater, but Without the Sports 1:22:44

5y ago1:22:44

1:22:44

Today on Q4 we play an exciting game called "How long can 3 adult men talk about the 2006 Disney-Pixar animated classic Cars." Then we talk about sports.

The Void of Knowledge 51:15

5y ago51:15

51:15

Snow is on the ground, winter is in the air, and the Minnesota Vikings are 1-5. Suffering is all we know. This is the Q4 Podcast. We're talking about the best and the worst teams in the NFL and doing our best to figure out who is competent in the world of sports.

Once Again, We're Sad 1:15:25

5y ago1:15:25

1:15:25

When sports were gone, we sat wishing they would come back. Now that they're back, we're second-guessing that thought. We're all sad, about everything. This episode is a little more cathartic than most, so please enjoy.

1
Stiff, Non-Pliable, and not Ready to Work at Full Capacity 1:02:23

5y ago1:02:23

1:02:23

We're back, once again. Sadder and more bold than ever, we're talking about the destruction of the Minnesota Wild, Josh Donaldson's (beautiful) ejection, and the humbling of the number one draft pick.

Give Us the Washington Football Team 1:10:56

5y ago1:10:56

We spent too little time preparing for this one. We're ranting about the MLB's handling of COVID-19, the St. Louis Cardinals, and a certain football team that resides in Washington D.C.

Minshew Madness (and Other Predictions) 1:34:22

5y ago1:34:22

1:34:22

Ohhh it's been too long since we've taken a long hard look at the stats and talked about all 32 NFL teams, so that's what we've done today. We're getting mad about Josh Allen, getting hyped about the Browns, and getting more and more confused about Tom Brady. While you're here, give us a follow on Twitter @TheOffsideSN and get a steady stream of ba…

In this edition of the mess that is The Q4 Podcast (after hours, for real this time), we explore the best old players in the NFL, Noah rants about the MLB season debacle, and a bowl breaks in TJ's kitchen.

Tough Choices (and Tougher Crosswords) 57:36

5+ y ago57:36

Noah's lack of sleep at the hands of word puzzles throws us into a complete spiral. So it's not much different from any other episode.

Jolt Those Bolts 59:41

5+ y ago59:41

59:41

Who said a collective offseason couldn't be fun? We're talking trade rumors, rule changes, and fixing last week's hashtag mishap (#TheChargersDidntDeserveThis).

5+ y ago1:05:46

1:05:46

Yup. It's a weird one. We're who knows how many days into quarantine and we're all finally back in Minnesota, together, in separate houses. We're talking about online shopping, discussing the designated hitter, and predicting the (possible) upcoming Minnesota Vikings season. And we've been inside too long.…
