It's Jim and Chris ridin' dirty in the bunker again as Mel's bye week has transformed into a sabbatical. The Bears v Commanders game of the week takes center stage in the pod before we cover the Niners win over Dallas, the Chargers victory over the Saints, and then check-ins on all other action.

We wrap the episode up with our mid-season awards and callouts, including a bold and fiery zinger from both hosts on a second half potential storyline. Strap it down and enjoy this fun and spirited episode of DTF.

Do you Bo-lieve? Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation

It's Jim and Chris ridin' dirty again in this episode, and boy do we get dirty! Everything from DAdvice on relationships, being nice to all the girls in class, and awaiting Jameis Winston... the MEME Machine.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy responsibly.

Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation

Chris has ventured his way back from multiple work trips to grace us with his presence for the episode. Mel is out this time but Jim and Chris are able to break down the three main games, all victories, before touching on other major storylines.

Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation!

It's just Jim and Mel again for this episode as Chris is still licking his wounds from back to back Niners losses. But we will welcome him back with arms wide open when he's ready...

We also break down the first head coach of the season to be fired, the way we're still rooting for the 1-4 Bengals, and the rise of the Bears.

Bear down and Bolt up, Niners Nation!!

No Chris til next week, but Mel is back in the bunker with Jimbo and it's some good shootin' sh*t. Breakdowns of the Bears, Chargers, and Niners games + discussions on other storylines as we put Week 4 of the season in the rearview.

Bear Down and Bolt Up Niners Nation

This is the first episode ever where we only have one host. Chris and Mel are out but Jim is carrying the torch for the trio. We cover Week 3 in full - highlighting more on Da Bears, Chargers, and Niners. There are some hot takes, red flags, but wrapped up neatly with Jim telling his experience coaching Pop Warner 10U football with his son. Now with added sound effects! Enjoy!

Week 2 in the NFL was a wild and crazy ride. We saw upsets, QBs being benched, a multitude of injuries, and many many field goals. This season is as unique as we were hoping for. ENJOY!

The Dads are back from the end of the 2023 Season and it feels so good to be back in the bunker. For the first time in our short storied career, all three of our teams (Bears, Bolts, Niners) are all undefeated after Week 1. We quickly recap the year prior, offer insights on other developing storylines, and finish off by going on the record with who we each believe will be the final teams standing at the end of the season. Welcome back everybody!!

Think of this as an open mic segment for the Dads. We cover the highs of Super Bowl Sunday, specifically Chris's epic party, the behavior of our kids at the party, and the Halftime show. But Chris gives equal attention to the downside... how the game ended. This one is raw, but kudos to the Dads for keepin it real and bringing it from the modern perspective.

The second half of our supersized Super Bowl preview is all about the food and refreshments at our ideal Super Bowl parties. Listen as the DADS draft against each other to fulfill a main dish, side, snack, dessert, and a beverage. We dare you to not be hungry after this one... Cheers and good luck to the Niners!!
