The single greatest weekend in the history of NFL playoff football tops our newest Greg Cote Show podcast as Greg and Chris get all exclamatory over four Divisional Round games that each ended on the very last play -- three of them upsets.

The sport’s two two biggest stars, Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, both were eliminated, Greg somehow managed to go 0-4 on his picks, and still it was a glorious weekend for King Sport.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, our special guest is R2K2, one of professional baseball’s new Robot Umpires that will debut behind the plate this season in the Triple-A Atlantic League. Hear a heated exchange between the robot and an angry manager, followed by the ‘bot sitting in for a chat with Greg and Chris.

This is our fifth episode of 2022 and 96th overall, and we welcome y’all back as always.

Also in the the new episode, joining NFL playoffs and the Robot Umpire:

An explosive-detecting dog retires, and we thank him for his service.

The controversy rocking M&Ms candies — especially the raging debate over what they’re doing to the green M&M!

A shoutout to the Professional Snuggler.

Greg apologizes to newlywed Mark for attending his wedding and then, on the Le Batard Show, referring to the event’s pig roast as “a nightmare.”

Oh, and our show’s third voice, not otherwise heard in this episode, makes a brief appearance to explain why. From a hospital bed.
