Is Matt LaFleur officially on the hot seat in Green Bay? The Boys With The Heat Podcast is LIVE AT 5…ISH with Charles “The Podfather” and Th4t Guy breaking down the biggest stories coming out of NFL Week 1 and looking ahead to a loaded NFL Week 2.

The Green Bay Packers have now lost six straight games dating back to last season, putting Matt LaFleur and the Packers under serious scrutiny. What has happened to Green Bay? Is this about coaching, execution, late-game collapses—or all of the above?

Then we head to Chicago, where Caleb Williams and the Bears exploded for 59 points against Carolina. Are the Chicago Bears actually for real this time? And as Packers fans…how worried should we be about Chicago becoming a legitimate NFC North threat?

Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs looked dangerous again. With Kansas City adding a potent rushing attack to an offense already led by Mahomes, is KC right back among the AFC's biggest threats?

Out west, the NFC conversation is getting wild. The Los Angeles Rams were hammered 27–7 by the San Francisco 49ers, while the defending champion Seattle Seahawks remain firmly in the conversation. Are the Rams still legitimate Super Bowl contenders, or does the road through the NFC still run through Seattle?

Plus, Charles and Th4t Guy run through the entire NFL Week 2 schedule with hot takes, jokes, matchup storylines and plenty of BULLSHIT.

🔥 CLOCKGATE 2.0 HAS OFFICIALLY TAKEN OVER COLLEGE FOOTBALL.

Charles and TH4T GUY are back in the GO ZONE, and we're starting with the ending everybody is still arguing about: Michigan vs. Western Michigan.

Was Western Michigan robbed? Did replay officials get it right? Which clock should have been used? How much transparency should conferences provide after controversial reviews?

The Boys dig into the Michigan-WMU Clockgate 2.0 controversy, including the conflicting clock displays, replay procedure, the dead-ball ruling, missed calls and why the outrage hasn't stopped. And yes, we're Michigan fans—but that doesn't mean everybody gets a free pass.

Then it's time for the rest of the College Football Week 1 chaos.

🏈 Targeting calls and officiating controversies

Then we head to Milwaukee because the Brewers are rolling toward October.

Milwaukee has essentially put the NL Central race to bed, but now the arguments get interesting.

⚾ How dangerous are the Brewers in October?

Finally...

The Boys react to the latest NFL news, injuries surrounding the Australia game and the Josh Jacobs situation before putting their Week 1 predictions on the record.

🧀 Packers over Vikings

Is sports betting actually good for sports—or have prediction markets found a new way to put gambling in front of younger fans? And did the Green Bay Packers get their 53-man roster right?

Charles and TH4T GUY hit the GO ZONE for another unfiltered episode of Boys With The Heat, covering the biggest NFL, Packers, MLB and college football debates of the week.

The show opens with a heated debate over sports betting and prediction markets, including whether calling a wager a “trade” actually makes it any different from gambling. The guys discuss younger users participating in prediction markets, their own small-dollar picks and why the line between sports trading and traditional sportsbooks is getting increasingly blurry.

Then the conversation immediately becomes an NL MVP WAR.

⚾ SHOHEI OHTANI vs. PETE CROW-ARMSTRONG

PCA has the defense, speed, production and an MVP-caliber résumé—but Charles and TH4T GUY debate whether any of that can overcome what Shohei Ohtani brings as a two-way superstar.

And yes, PCA's attitude enters the conversation.

“There's no crying in baseball!”

The guys debate PCA's recent surge, Ohtani's production, WAR, Chicago's media attention, the Cubs chasing Milwaukee and whether Ohtani needs to finish strong to reclaim control of the MVP conversation.

Then it's time for Green Bay.

The Packers finalized their roster, and apparently Packers fans are already in midseason form.

One minute it's:

“WE DON'T NEED JOSH JACOBS!”

The next minute it's:

“WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITHOUT JOSH JACOBS?!”

Pick a lane, people. 😂

Charles and TH4T GUY break down the Packers roster, Jordan Love, the running-back situation, wide receivers, defensive depth, offensive line and several of Green Bay's most debated roster decisions.

They also discuss the serious uncertainty surrounding Josh Jacobs and emphasize that the situation remains unresolved rather than treating speculation as established fact.

The Packers moved Kyle McCord to Miami, which naturally caused another round of preseason overreactions.

The Boys ask the obvious question:

If McCord was secretly Green Bay's next great quarterback…

why did Green Bay trade him?

They discuss inflated preseason performances, playing against backups, the value of getting a draft pick and why keeping veteran Tyrod Taylor behind Jordan Love makes more sense than treating QB3 like he's the future of the franchise.

As TH4T GUY basically puts it:

If Jordan Love goes down, Kyle McCord wasn't riding in on a white horse to save the season anyway.

The roster discussion continues with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton, Skyy Moore, Luke Musgrave, Javon Hargrave, Edgerrin Cooper, Zaire Franklin, Xavier McKinney and Green Bay's defensive philosophy.

Then the show turns into a full-blown quarterback-development debate.

Should highly drafted quarterbacks actually SIT before being thrown onto the field?

The guys look at the development paths of:

🏈 Brett Favre

The argument: NFL owners and fan bases demand immediate results, but putting a rookie quarterback behind a veteran for a year—or even longer—might still be one of football's best development models.

And Charles has already found another potential example:

Ty Simpson learning behind Matthew Stafford with Sean McVay.

Could THAT be the next quarterback development success story?

Finally, the Boys turn toward college football and the upcoming Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin matchup at Lambeau Field.

With Wisconsin entering as a major underdog, the question isn't necessarily whether the Badgers win.

It's whether Luke Fickell and Wisconsin can prove they belong on the same field.

They also debate Miami vs. Stanford, including whether Stanford can cover a massive spread even if Miami ultimately handles business.

This episode has everything:

🔥 OVERREACTION TUESDAY — WELCOME TO THE GO ZONE! 🔥

NFL preseason overreactions are officially undefeated, and Boys With The Heat is putting them on trial.

Charles and TH4T GUY dive into the biggest storylines heading into the 2026 NFL season, starting with the Green Bay Packers and the never-ending cycle of August overreactions.

One good drive?

SUPER BOWL.

One bad series?

SEASON OVER.

A rookie flashes against backups?

PUT HIM IN CANTON.

The Boys break down which Packers storylines actually matter, which ones are pure preseason noise, and whether Green Bay belongs in the NFC contender conversation.

Then it's time to go league-wide with the official Boys With The Heat 2026 NFL predictions.

The crew makes picks for:

🏆 Super Bowl LXI Champion

🏈 AFC Champion

🏈 NFC Champion

⭐ NFL MVP

💥 Offensive Player of the Year

🧱 Defensive Player of the Year

🌟 Breakout Players

📈 Breakout Teams

📉 Biggest Collapse

🤡 Most Overrated Team

🔥 NFC North Champion

And of course, no episode would be complete without asking which fan base is already planning a parade before the regular season even starts.

The show also brings back CALL BULLSHIT, where the hottest preseason takes get put on trial.

Is Green Bay really ready to make a deep run?

Are the Bears finally for real?

Can Detroit stay on top of the NFC North?

Are preseason records completely meaningless?

And which supposedly “elite” team is about to get exposed once the games actually count?

Then things get even weirder.

🏀 THE WNBA “S*X TOY” CHAOS IS BACK?!

The Boys react to another bizarre round of objects being thrown onto WNBA courts and ask the obvious question:

HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!

The jokes write themselves, but the crew also gets into the legitimate safety issue behind fans throwing objects onto the playing surface.

And because this is Boys With The Heat, the live chat gets a vote.

Drop your hottest NFL prediction.

Drop your worst preseason overreaction.

Tell us who you're picking for MVP.

And we'll tell you whether you're cooking...

THE GO ZONE IS OPEN — ALL GAS, NO BRAKES!

Football season is almost here, and Boys With The Heat is diving headfirst into the biggest stories surrounding the 2026 NFL season, starting with a full Green Bay Packers deep dive.

Charles and TH4T GUY break down where the Packers stand heading into the season, what has changed since last year's disappointing finish, which players could determine Green Bay's ceiling, and whether the Packers have enough to make a legitimate run through the NFC.

Is Jordan Love ready to lead Green Bay to the next level?

Can the Packers stay healthy?

Which young players need to take the biggest leap?

And after consecutive early playoff exits, when does being a talented young football team stop being enough?

Green Bay enters 2026 with health as one of the biggest storylines after injuries devastated the roster down the stretch last season. The Packers lost major contributors including Micah Parsons, Tucker Kraft, Zach Tom, Elgton Jenkins and Devonte Wyatt during their injury-plagued 2025 campaign.

And Green Bay isn't the only team dealing with health questions.

The Boys turn their attention league-wide as injuries start hitting before the regular season even begins.

That raises a bigger question:

Are today's NFL rookies actually physically prepared for an NFL season?

Being Combine-ready isn't the same thing as being NFL-ready.

Players can run ridiculous 40-yard dash times, dominate athletic testing and look incredible during workouts — but availability is still the best ability.

So what's happening?

Are players entering the league under-conditioned?

Are NFL training camps asking too much too quickly?

Is year-round specialization taking a toll?

Or are we simply paying more attention to injuries than ever before?

The Boys debate whether the NFL has a legitimate rookie durability problem heading into Week 1.

It's prediction season.

Which means somebody is going to look like a genius...

And somebody is going to pretend this episode never happened.

The Boys fire off their way-too-early 2026 NFL predictions, including potential division winners, breakout teams, surprise playoff contenders, disappointing teams and players ready to explode.

Which preseason darling is actually legit?

Which supposed contender is completely overrated?

Which fan base is already planning a Super Bowl parade before Week 1?

And which prediction is going to age like milk by October?

Then we head to the diamond.

The 2026 MLB playoff race is getting serious, and every series suddenly matters.

The Boys break down the teams making their move, contenders beginning to separate themselves from the pack, and clubs that could be heading toward a late-season collapse.

And, of course, there's plenty of Milwaukee Brewers talk.

Is Milwaukee built to survive October?

Can pitching and defense carry the Brewers through the postseason?

Or will the decision not to add another major impact bat come back to haunt them when they're facing elite playoff pitching?

Regular-season wins are great.

Division championships are great.

But Milwaukee fans aren't waiting for another participation banner.

They want a World Series.

The Boys hit the biggest NFL and MLB stories with the usual combination of sports debate, ridiculous predictions, sarcasm and absolutely unnecessary arguments.

Because preseason football has arrived...

NFL overreaction season is officially open...

Baseball is heading toward October...

And the Boys With The Heat have entered THE GO ZONE.

ALL GAS. NO BRAKES.

Football is BACK, which means reasonable analysis is officially dead and preseason overreactions are undefeated.

On this episode of Boys With The Heat, Charles and TH4T GUY fire up the 2026 NFL prediction machine and start with the NFC North. The Bears, Lions, Packers and Vikings enter the season with plenty of questions, and the division remains one of the NFL's most interesting preseason battles.

🧀 GREEN BAY PACKERS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW VS. WHERE ARE THEY GOING?

The Boys break down Green Bay from two angles: the team built to win right now and the future of the franchise.

Is Jordan Love ready to take another step? Is Green Bay a legitimate NFC contender? Which young players become the next foundation pieces? And at what point does "we're young and talented" need to become "we're winning championships"?

Then comes the question every Packers fan hates:

Are the Packers actually Super Bowl contenders—or are we drinking the Green & Gold Kool-Aid again?

🐻 BEARS: Is the hype finally justified, or are Bears fans planning another February parade in August?

🦁 LIONS: Still the team everybody should fear, or has the rest of the North caught up?

🟣 VIKINGS: Can Minnesota survive its quarterback questions and keep pace in a loaded division?

Then we're leaving the North.

🌵 NFC WEST: Who survives one of the league's nastiest divisions?

🌴 NFC SOUTH: Legitimate contender emerging—or somebody winning this thing because NFL rules require a division champion?

Current preseason projections show just how unsettled several divisions remain, while Baltimore and Los Angeles enter August tied for the highest listed win totals at 11.5, with Buffalo and Detroit at 10.5.

Patrick Mahomes.

Because apparently every AFC preseason conversation eventually becomes:

"Cool team... but can they beat Mahomes?"

We break down Kansas City's outlook, the AFC's biggest challengers, potential playoff surprises and which supposedly elite team could completely fall on its face. The Chiefs' 2026 schedule also features Buffalo, New England and the entire NFC West, giving Kansas City plenty of heavyweight tests.

And just when you thought this episode couldn't get any more important...

Forget NFL predictions.

Forget the Packers.

Forget Mahomes.

WE NEED ANSWERS.

A recent fishing photo of 68-year-old Hall of Famer Wade Boggs went viral because the dude looks absolutely shredded.

This man retired from baseball and apparently entered his final evolutionary form.

1990s Boggs: .300 hitter.

2026 Boggs: looks like he's batting cleanup for the Avengers.

Somebody check Cooperstown because apparently his Hall of Fame plaque now needs SLEEVES.

👑 AND THEN THERE'S THE AFC...💪⚾ WADE. BOGGS. IS. JACKED. BABY.

The Boys With The Heat Podcast is back with another action-packed episode breaking down one of the wildest MLB Trade Deadlines in recent memory before diving headfirst into NFL preseason predictions and fantasy football draft season.

The crew starts by grading the biggest MLB trades, including the Dodgers pushing all their chips to the center of the table after acquiring Tarik Skubal, the Red Sox making headlines by landing Adley Rutschman, and the Phillies strengthening their lineup with Luis Arraez. Charles and TH4T GUY debate which front offices made championship-caliber moves, which general managers completely panicked, and whether the Milwaukee Brewers did enough—or failed to capitalize—at the deadline.

The conversation shifts to the NFL as preseason officially kicks off. The guys predict which rookie quarterback will make the biggest splash, debate whether Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are legitimate Super Bowl contenders or simply another playoff hopeful, and ask if the Chicago Bears have finally earned the hype or are headed for another disappointing season. They also make bold predictions for surprise playoff teams, potential collapses, and hand out their way-too-early MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year picks.

Fantasy football season is officially here, and the Boys reveal several league-winning sleepers, including undervalued running backs, sophomore wide receivers poised for breakout campaigns, overlooked tight ends, and players they're drafting everywhere before their average draft position skyrockets.

The episode wraps up with another hilarious edition of Call Bullshit, separating contenders from pretenders, exposing deadline overreactions, and roasting NFL fan bases already planning Super Bowl parades before preseason even begins.

If you love unfiltered sports talk, bold predictions, fantasy football strategy, and sarcastic hot takes, this episode delivers it all.

Is Jacoby Brissett one of the NFL's most underpaid quarterbacks? Is Stefon Diggs still an elite No. 2 receiver, or has his ego outgrown his production? And why are suspended players still allowed to appear in the MLB All-Star Game?

On this episode of Boys With The Heat, Charles and TH4T Guy break down the hottest debates from around the sports world with their signature mix of comedy, unfiltered opinions, and hot takes.

The show opens with a heated discussion surrounding Jacoby Brissett's contract situation and whether veteran quarterbacks are being properly valued across the NFL. The crew compares Brissett's production, ball security, leadership, and salary against several starting quarterbacks while debating what his true market value should be.

Next, the guys react to Stefon Diggs' latest comments claiming there's no better No. 2 receiver available in football. Is Diggs still one of the league's most dangerous weapons, or would teams be better off pursuing Brandon Aiyuk or another younger wide receiver? Charles and TH4T Guy break down the free-agent market, roster fits, and which teams should make a move before training camp.

Major League Baseball also finds itself under the microscope as the crew questions why suspended players can still participate in the MLB All-Star Game. They discuss fan voting, league policies, integrity of the event, and whether baseball needs to overhaul the selection process.

With MLB All-Star Week underway, the show wraps up by making Home Run Derby predictions, discussing Aaron Judge rumors, previewing the Midsummer Classic, and debating Jordan Love's placement in the NFL Top 100 rankings.

As always, expect plenty of laughs, sports roasts, audience interaction, and absolutely no scripted takes.
