06: Is Tim Riggins the Travis Kelce of the Dillon Panthers?
This podcast has secretly been a front for me to eventually talk about Friday Night Lights, the best program ever to grace American network television. And if you’ve known me (Caitlin) long enough, I’ve probably forced you to watch the pilot at least once. Brendan has finally decided to see what the fuck I’ve been talking about for all these years, and today we’re getting into season 1 a bit.
But back in the year of our Lorde 2024, football is still happening IRL! Before this Sunday's Bills v. Chiefs matchup, we dive into the long history of this rivalry, why its still so heated, and why we all, as a league, hate Patrick Mahomes. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose.
The fuck did we talk about:
Brendan is watching Friday Night Lights the TV show for the 1st time
Caitlin is watching Friday Night Lights the TV show for the ~50th time
Tim Riggins, the last fullback
Camryn Bynum, a safety on the Vikings, hit em w the Raygun in the endzone
Why are we sending a Giants v. Panthers game to Berlin?
The Niners are self destructing

The history of the Bills v. Chiefs rivalry is quite long

05: What’s Worse: Saying The F Slur or Smashing an iPhone
This is the last recording of our voices before we found out who the next president of the United States was! What a time capsule. Anyway, this week we talk about how the NFL has its grubby little hands in funding political candidates, Jason Kelce slingin' homophobic slurs in Pennsylvania, and some days-old political hot takes since Kornacki was running numbers on the TV in the background as we recorded this.

02: Blowout Games and Birkin Bags
Week 6 was a wild one, with some massive scores: the Texans clobbered the Patriots 41-21, the Lions destroyed the Cowboys 47-9, the Falcons took down the Panthers 38-20, and the Steelers handled the Raiders 32-13. But here's the real question: why don’t we see blowout games like this as much anymore?
This week, we dive into the mystery of shrinking scoreboards, chat about guardian caps, explore the wonders of Roku City, touch on the history of the Birkin Bag, and tackle the age old question: Do you know who Charlie Puth is?
