·1 hr 19 min·5 clips
A host tweaked his neck putting on a shirt and met both 21st-century Punishers at a Pittsburgh event.
The episode opens with casual banter among the hosts, discussing recent injuries, trips to Pittsburgh, and meeting celebrities like Jon Bernthal (The Punisher) and Thomas Jane. They transition to the main topic: a detailed film review of the Washington Commanders' preseason loss to the New England Patriots. The hosts use NFL Plus to share clips, highlighting moments such as Johnny Newton's strip sack, Sam Hartman's interception, and positive plays from Trey Amos and Jacory Brooks. They express disappointment in the overall performance, especially from backups, and debate whether the offense or defense looked worse. A significant portion focuses on Terry McLaurin's ongoing contract negotiations, with hosts speculating on numbers and urging the team to sign him. They also discuss stock up/down for players, with Bill, Trey Amos, and Jacory Brooks receiving praise, while Sam Hartman and Dominique Hampton are criticized. The conversation shifts to broader NFL topics, including male cheerleaders on the Patriots and Vikings, and the absorption of NFL Plus by ESPN. The hosts share anecdotes about famous Commanders fans like John Bernthal, Kevin Durant, and Marshmello. They conclude with personal updates, such as attending the upcoming Bengals game, and encourage listener engagement through likes and subscriptions.
