NFL Draft Aftermath: Shedeur Sanders EditionThe 2025 NFL Draft is behind us, and it was a memorable one for all the wrong reasons, at least for one Shedeur Sanders.

Are the Knicks in Trouble?The Knicks opened their NBA playoffs campaign Saturday night with a come-from-behind win over the Pistons in Game 1, but it was a much different tune in Game 2 as Detroit held off New York to tie the series 1-1. The 2 Dummies recorded this podcast in a couple of different parts to account for Game 2 Monday night, and we break it all down.
