The Big Chill Podcast

Live from the Championship

Eddie managed to embarrass himself in Barcelona, but should Arsenal and Atletico Madrid feel as if they were exposed by the football played by Bayern Munich and PSG? Eddie rarely comes to the defense of Mikel Arteta, but he does feel as if VAR made a mistake by overturning a late penalty for Arsenal. In the Premier League, the fixtures have allowed Arsenal to rebuild their lead at the top, and that could prove crucial. And Hull managed to pip Wrexham to the final playoff spot on a thrilling last day of the Championship season. 
Both Frank and Eddie agree that it is pointless to analyze NFL draft picks before a snap has been played, but the Arizona Cardinals did make a slightly head-scratching move. And 'The Rewatchables' podcast is great, but that doesn't make it perfect. 

Eddie Goes to the Barber

In this episode of the Big Chill Podcast, Eddie got his haircut, but he wasn't happy with the experience and wondered what Frank would have done in the same situation. Manchester City won their game in hand, and their 1-0 win over Burnley has put them top of the table, but should Arsenal be favorites due to their easier run-in?
Liam Rosenior's time at Chelsea has ended, but just how bad were his 107 days at Stamford Bridge? And Leicester City's back-to-back relegations mean that the recent Premier League and FA Cup Champions are now facing life in League One. And how impressive have Wrexham been as they find themselves challenging for the playoffs in the Championship? 
Plus, Eddie is worried that Paul Seixas might be about to change French luck in the Tour de France, and he really thinks that Frank should be watching 'From'. 
 
 

Manchester City v Arsenal Reaction

Manchester City came out on top in their crucial top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal in the Premier League. Frank and Eddie were impressed by Haaland and Cherki, but just how lucky was Gabriel to avoid being sent off? Elsewhere in Europe, PSG suffered a surprise defeat that puts a bit of pressure on the reigning champions in Ligue 1, and Bayern Munich continued their record-breaking season in the Bundesliga. On the back of success, Eddie thinks that Harry Kane could be a Champions League win away from entering some very exclusive company.
In the NFL, the New York Giants traded away star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, but Frank is happy with the move. And which NFL player is the best comparison to Noah Wyle?  
 

World Cup Price Gauging and Champions League Semfinals

In this episode of The Big Chill Podcast, Frank and Eddie discuss the challenges of maintaining friendships and the logistics for The Breeders' Cup 2026. Bayern Munich, PSG, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid are through to the Champions League semifinal, but Eddie thinks that UEFA needs to review the ability of French and Spanish teams to move games ahead of Champions League matches. 
Plus, Whoop released Rory McIlroy's data from The Masters, and Frank is feeling a little uncomfortable at his gym. 
 

Arsenal Dropping. Rory Rising.

Frank has some strong opinions on how players are messing up their strategy on 'Tipping Point', but Eddie has a business opportunity with Dunkin' Donuts that might cheer him up. Arsenal's defeat to Bournemouth means that Manchester City are right back in the title race ahead of their match this Sunday, but Eddie is refusing to believe that Arteta and co. will completely blow their lead in the Premier League. Rory McIlroy entered elite company by winning back-to-back Masters, but where does he now stand in the modern-day golf Pantheon, and is the Masters becoming an overrated sporting event? 
Plus some pop culture blind spots and what's actually going on in 'The Pitt'.

Will Arsenal blow it all?

Big changes are coming to the podcast, but did Arsenal's FA Cup defeat at the hands of Southampton change Eddie and Frank's opinions on their Premier League title chances? The FIFA 2026 World Cup is facing more controversy as seat maps are hidden and prices continue to surge.

They look good for their age

Frank was ghosted by his roller hockey team, but Eddie is more worried about the escalating costs of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Duke blew a commanding lead against UConn in the NCAA Tournament, but should we give college players a pass when they make game-losing mistakes in March Madness?
Frank found himself in a critical situation in a Starbucks bathroom, but Eddie thinks he should have bought an item before using their facilities. Plus reaction to the latest episodes of 'The Pitt', Eddie's thoughts on 'Project Hail Mary', and why Eddie has issues with the evolution of 'Shrinking'. 

Arsenal, Jelly Roll, and Anaconda

Manchester City beat Arsenal in the League Cup Final, but will Arsenal's defeat have any impact on how they approach the remainder of the Premier League season, the Champions League, or the FA Cup? Eddie thinks the Premier League is already a foregone conclusion, but Guardiola exposed some weaknesses that will prove to be their undoing in the Champions League and FA Cup.
The official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was released, but does it stand up to classics from the likes of Ricky Martin and Shakira? The Fanatics Flag Football tournament took place over the weekend, but has it changed what Frank thinks Team USA should do heading into the 2026 Olympics? 
And Eddie watched 'The Peaky Blinders' movie, 'Greenland 2', and 'Anaconda', but which did he enjoy the most? The answer might surprise you...

Arsenal Limping Towards the Title

Frank's trip to Colorado was severely delayed by snow, but neither he nor Eddie get why travelers take out their frustrations on airport staff. Manchester City slipped up again, and it looks like Arsenal will win their first Premier League title in 23 years, even if they're failing to entertain in the process. Meanwhile, Chelsea look to be in some trouble as a result of financial irregularities, and Morocco have won AFCON 2025 on appeal.
Venezuela upset the USA in the final of the World Baseball Classic, but the USA players upset Eddie even more by wearing game-worn USA hockey jerseys to the final.

Eddie has joined Frank in the world of teaching, but he isn't sure that his colleagues are big fans of him.

Arsenal are ruining football

Frank and Eddie's pickleball and padel journeys continue, but Eddie has been on the receiving end of some road rage. Tez Johnson's ex-fiancée revealed why their relationship came to an end, but college football players in Mississippi will be delighted to hear that NIL money will no longer be taxed. Eddie is suspicious that some other media networks are stealing ideas from the Big Chill Podcast after Fox Sports revealed an AI version of Colin Cowherd. 
Manchester City's latest slip-up has handed advantage back to Arsenal, and Eddie isn't happy with how the potential Premier League Champions are playing, especially after they were handed an easy Champions League draw. 

Cold War Controversy

The USA completed the men's and women's Winter Olympic ice hockey gold medal double, but Eddie isn't certain that the 'miracle on ice' is all that it is cracked up to be. Bodo Glimt's remarkable Champions League run continues, but is the new format finally delivering some excitement? 
And 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' wrapped up, but will a good first season be undone by the wait between seasons 1 and 2? And did Eddie deserve a bigger reward for giving someone back their credit card?

Can Arsenal hold on?

Arsenal slipped up again in the Champions League, but has their 2-2 draw with Wolves completely opened the door for Manchester City? The Champions League is back, and Bodo Glimt continued their improbable run of form, but the play on the pitch was overshadowed by accusations of racist abuse from Vinicius Junior in Real Madrid's match against Benfica. 
Plus some more Winter Olympics updates, 'The Pitt', and things that used to be flashy, but are now obsolete.

Plus, ESPN ranks the 60 most difficult sports, Trent Williams' wife is ok with him dating his girlfriend, and Eddie is a tiny bit disappointed with 'The Pitt' not focusing on the boring stuff. 

A Super Bowl Sleeper

The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl XV in a snoozefest, but which teams from the AFC and NFC will feel like they missed their chance to lift the Lombardi Trophy? Frank thinks it will be a long time until the New England Patriots make it back to the AFC Championship game, and Eddie isn't sure that Kenneth Walker III was the right choice for Super Bowl MVP.
Plus, Eddie is enjoying the Winter Olympics more than he thought he would, Manchester City sneak past Liverpool after a thrilling final 15 minutes, and 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' might be the best Game of Thrones TV depiction yet.

Including a full breakdown of the keys to the game, where the Super Bowl is likely to be won and lost, and some of the best player props.
