S3E12: Brad & Reid Talk WEEK SIXTEEN

·39 min·2 clips

Brad Gelber says the snowy San Francisco game is one he and the team will not forget.

Brad welcomes listeners back to another Team Western podcast and sets the tone with a victory Monday. Reid settles into the easy rhythm of a show that feels more like a long football conversation than a formal segment. The first topic is the stretch of games since the last recording. San Francisco comes up first, since that was the cleanest turning point. The division-clinching win at home clearly matters to both of them, and they talk about it as a moment they had been building toward. The home crowd part of it carries its own weight. The Rams game follows. It gets described as entertaining even though the result did not land the way they wanted. From there the episode opens into a more personal lane. Brad talks about working with GGs Playhouse. He explains that the charity connection started at a fundraising event a couple of months earlier, which gave him a chance to meet the people who help run the organization. It also connected him with families involved in the work. The show treats that relationship as something ongoing rather than a one-off gesture. Brad says he expects to keep working with the charity for years. He also talks about the cleats he designed for the cause, and mentions that the pictures went up on social media. He says the designer did a great job. The family tied to the effort is named directly through their daughter Reese. Her reaction to the cleats becomes one of the meaningful parts of the story. Brad notes that she loved them and that there are pictures of her playing with the cleats. The conversation stays appreciative instead of self-congratulatory. He says the family was very appreciative. The NFL’s My Cause My Cleats initiative is treated as a positive thing overall. He likes the idea of players having a voice around the causes they care about. The show also notes how some players now spread that spotlight across more than one charity. That becomes a broader point about giving players room to share what matters to them. Josh’s partnership with O’Shea is mentioned as another example of that kind of connection. The episode then returns to football, with the Detroit game coming back into view. The closing stretch keeps a lighter tone. Brad makes a tongue-in-cheek plea for better food, specifically calling for Raising Cane’s to come to Buffalo. The outro keeps the familiar team-first energy and ends with thanks to the listeners. The episode leaves with the promise of another festive holiday conversation coming soon.
