Zach and Willys make a triumphant return to the traditional art of podcasting after a hiatus of nearly 7 months. With two games of the Giants' 2022 season down and not a loss to be seen, the Bluethers discuss how real this nascent renaissance is, and what we might expect in the next few games.

The Giants are up to much more than they were while ostensibly "competing" in "football games," and the Bluethers are here to cover it all. They talk over the Brian Daboll pick, how Joe Schoen is building the Giants by sacking the Bills, and how we can assess the hiring of two men who've never done their new jobs before. Of course, they also discus…

The Giants hired a new general manager: Joe Schoen. The Bluethers prudently let the dust settle and those other Giants podcasts cover the breaking news. They pod before you today as men of reflection, ready and willing to opine on the news with poise and perspective. Other topics include George Washington, whatever happened to Aaron Rodgers, when t…

The Giants' season has mercifully ended, and so too have the reigns of David Gettleman and Joe Judge. With a new dawn finally arriving over the unthinkably bland facade of Corporate Insurance Stadium, Zach and Willys return to the show to break down the end of Big Blue's year, Gettleman's legacy, and the pleasant surprise that John Mara has put the…

After a week on the injured list, Zach and Willys are back to talk about what seems like a new rock bottom for the Giants. Obviously, the conversation begins with an exploration of the origin of the phrase "rock bottom," which yields little of interest, and goes on to more big-picture talk about this team and its future. What else is new? With a ga…

With the Thanksgiving holiday upon us and the Bluethers in transit, they put together a very special Double-Solo Episode. Needless to say, they cover the rock-bottom loss to Tampa and Podcast God Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr., as well as the breaking news that Jason Garrett has been fired as offensive coordinator. What a game. What a week. What a…

Did the Giants win the bye week? Who knows? Zach and Willys try to get to the bottom of one of the great questions of our time by creating a pro-con ledger, using the purchaser's method, and discussing Odell's new start with the Rams. They also get into Cam's return to Carolina, the Vikings (in general, in logo, and in architecture), what "art deco…

The Giants beat the Raiders and now get to enjoy a week without having to play football. With the G-Men's season (basically) half over and Big Blue setting a blistering 5- or 6-win pace, the Bluethers discuss the team's defensive brilliance and continued stagnation on offense. Needless to say, they also discuss the Aaron Rodgers fiasco, Cam signing…

The Bluethers break down a trademark loss to Kansas City on Monday Night Football, which featured an impressive defensive performance and an unsurprisingly inept offense by Big Blue.

After a rare win for Big Blue—one that Zach watched in person at Corporate Insurance Stadium—the Bluethers talk about how the victory changes the outlook for the rest of the season. They also take a look at standings around the league, and what would have to happen for the Cowboys to not win the NFC East. To close out the show, Zach and Willys disc…

The Bluethers recap a surprisingly triumphant win for the Giants in New Orleans and an unsurprisingly terrible loss in the general vicinity of Dallas.

In an episode that was salvaged from the depths of the ocean/hacked by the four computer geniuses that work for Dave at Corporate Insurance Stadium, Zach and Willys break down the demoralizing loss to Atlanta and look ahead to the new, very downgraded outlook for the rest of the Giants' season. Of course, they also take another look at the ongoing …

Zach's back on the pod to discuss the bizarre and humiliating loss to the Football Players of the Nation's Capital, a ridiculous run of Giants penalties, and what might be salvaged of yet another season that's started with two straight losses.

Willys takes to the mic for the first-ever solo episode of An Inconvenient Blueth. After a real downer of a season opener and with a primetime matchup with Washington looming, he breaks down what we should take from Week 1, what the heck is going on with the Giants' offense, and how much of a chance Big Blue stands against the unnamed football team…

It's the Season 5 Premiere! The Bluethers talk training camp transactions, losing to the Jets in the first preseason game, and a throwback to Super Bowls past.

Zach and Willys do one final draft preview before the big event starts on Thursday.

After a crucial hiatus to invest in the Blueth Exploratory Committee, Zach and Willys return for an unprecedented septuple episode.

Well, the Giants lost again and the nation has entered one of its stranger periods... ever? But what's not strange is Big Blue's offense looking inert and uninspired, so let's take an hour to chat about that and keep our minds off of actual problems.

Too little too early! 54:52

The Giants played one of their worst games in memory, and got trounced by another club's second string. (Let's call them the 28ers.) These are dark days for Big Blue indeed, and the Bluethers are here to break it down. Moving on fairly quickly from a game that left little to talk about, they discuss how Sunday's embarrassment could hasten the depar…

One more loss for the record, and many more for the soul. Saquon is done for the year, Danny Dimes is back to his fumbling ways, and a very unconvincing Bears team left the Giants sitting at 0-2 for the one-millionth time in the last one million seasons. The Bluethers discuss what happened in Chicago on Sunday, how the Big Blue defense has actually…

Somehow professional football has happened, which gives the Bluethers something to talk about that's at least nominally related to the playing of professional football games. After an expected loss at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Zach and Willys discuss Iron Curtain's stifling of Saquon in the running game, the stellar play of Darius Slayton as…

Deep into the dog days of summer, the Bluethers jump on to talk about the unorthodox beginning of training camp, the Giants' kicking situation, and what we think we've learned about DeAndre Baker's legal case.

Keeping alive the recent trend of Giants banality, Big Blue has been interesting in the last few weeks only to the extent that they’re tangentially related to the actual news of the day. Right now, said news is Cam Newton’s signing with the Pats and the (football) disgrace in D.C. deciding to change its name. The Bluethers break down those two big …

With the draft drawing ever closer and real football still looking indefinitely untenable, Zach and Willys jump on to talk about the quarantine era of the podcast, draft buzz, shamelessly horrible mock drafts, and the new 17-game, expanded-playoffs football season.

With so much going on in the world of Big Blue, the Bluethers get right to the heart of it all with a riveting discussion of how uninspiring Corporate Insurance Stadium is.

The first two games of the Danny Dimes Era have come and gone, and so has the Giants' winless streak.
