Kick Out @ 2

No Gary this week, so Nick and Brian take over Sports Talk with Gary — and somehow manage to spend the first ten minutes depressing themselves about the Phillies.

Then it's Eagles time.

Jalen Hurts delivers when it matters, DeVonta Smith continues to look special, the offensive line raises some serious questions, and the Eagles head into Chicago at 2-0.

Nick and Brian break down what Philly needs to do against the Bears, whether the defense can stop the run, the state of the secondary, Saquon Barkley and the running backs, and the return of Zach Ertz to Philadelphia.

Plus: Nick declares Lamar Jackson will never win a Super Bowl, Brian challenges him on it, and we once again wonder whether the NFL is just professional wrestling with shoulder pads.

Cullen and Ethan punch in and immediately get into the Eagles — the offensive line, conservative play calling, the Bears matchup and what needs to change.

Then things go off the rails.

They talk Marvel and Avengers: Doomsday, Madden and the current state of gaming, Ethan's completely legitimate family history presentation, college life, high school football, the Flyers, the Phillies and Ethan's airtight argument that he's technically NOT unemployed.

Welcome to PUNCH IN AT 4.

Brian's gone. Steve's gone. Nick has a microphone.

What could possibly go wrong?

Nick takes over Kick Out @ 2 solo to recap a family golf outing fueled by beer and questionable Jameson decisions, declare the IPA era officially over, wonder how Insane Clown Posse is still going, assign Lansdale Listener some very important Juggalo research, and once again explain why everything in life eventually becomes pro wrestling.

Plus Eagles misery, Kelly fact-checking from off camera, upcoming wrestling plans and the promise that Brian and Steve are probably coming back.

Kick Out @ 2 — You Know, A Podcast.

Nick and Gary break down the Eagles' Week 1 win and look ahead to Tennessee. Jalen Hurts, Dontayvion Wicks, Landon Dickerson, the struggling run game, Zack Baun and the offensive-line questions all get their turn.

Plus: Gary introduces his Boots to Asses Award, Nick crowns the first Jabroni of the Week, the guys make their Eagles-Titans predictions, and Gary drops a wild call on the Giants and Rams.

Brian has a stalker — and apparently he's taking it as a compliment.

This week, Brian explains how a woman tracked him down at the gym, spent two hours talking to him and then mysteriously decided she was taking his hot yoga class. Jackie witnesses the entire disaster and gives Brian the only sensible advice: stop talking to people.

Then we revisit Brian's other problem: trying to record Sports Talk with Gary from his parents' dining room while his mom just wants to vacuum.

Plus: Nick survives another Eagles Sunday, dangerous peanut-butter booze, Yankees fans with BuzzBalls, Supergirl, Jason Momoa, Lobo, The Mandalorian & Grogu, aging, conspiracies and the inevitable return of Everything Is Pro Wrestling.

Kick Out @ 2 — You Know, A Podcast.

Football season is finally here.

Gary, Nick and Brian preview the 2026 NFL season before diving deep into the Philadelphia Eagles. How good can this defense be? Can Saquon Barkley drive the offense? What should we expect from Jalen Hurts and the new-look passing game? And how worried should Eagles fans really be about the rest of the NFC East?

The guys make their Week 1 predictions, Gary drops a wild prediction for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, Brian believes the Eagles could have the best defense in football, and eventually everybody has to answer the big question:

How far are the Eagles going this year?

Gary sees a Super Bowl-caliber team. Steve apparently thinks they're winning the whole damn thing. And Nick has Eagles vs. Bills as a very real Super Bowl possibility.

Plus, Gary explains why Eagles games make him too nervous to eat, Nick's ready to eat his way through football Sunday, and we revisit some classic Week 1 Eagles memories.

The road to the Super Bowl starts now. Go Birds.

Nick is still recovering from a birthday party that ended with a blackout, a barefoot Uber ride, and the realization that his cousin somehow ended up with his shoes.

Then Brian returns from Norway with stories about German air travel, an airport serving hot dogs and coffee at 8 AM, a Bergen hotel room whose only window LOOKED INTO THE HALLWAY, and one of the most disturbing condiment dispensers we've ever encountered.

Plus: college memories, Steve's burnt ends, technical difficulties, Michigan football controversy, Chris Benoit somehow entering the conversation, and another installment of our increasingly difficult-to-disprove theory:

Everything is pro wrestling. Nothing is real.

🎙️ Kick Out @ 2

The Eagles' 53-man roster is here, and it's time to find out just how badly Nick screwed up his predictions.

Nick built his own 53 before the official roster dropped. Now Gary goes position-by-position with the real thing as they figure out where Nick nailed it, where he completely missed, and what the Eagles' decisions tell us about the team heading into Week 1.

Why are the Eagles carrying four quarterbacks? Who replaces the production of A.J. Brown? Can Saquon Barkley have a huge bounce-back year? Is the offensive line suddenly one of the deepest groups on the entire roster? And just how concerned should we be about tight end?

Plus, Gary reveals his biggest surprise of the final 53: Carson Steele not making the roster after being one of the offensive highlights of the preseason.

And don't get too comfortable with this roster just yet.

Gary thinks Howie Roseman isn't done.

Could another trade be coming before Week 1?

It's Sports Talk with Gary, presented by Kick Out @ 2.

We remember Dolly Parton, debate whether anyone else reached her level of universal admiration, and ask the most important question of all: if Dolly looked like that, what did Jolene look like?

From there, things deteriorate quickly. Sam Elliott may or may not be immortal, Brian and his friend terrorize a hot yoga class, donuts continue ruining Brian’s fitness goals, Nick explains why he suddenly disappeared during Sports Talk with Gary, and we meet the late, possibly poisoned, definitely unfortunately named Buttons.

Another completely normal episode of Kick Out @ 2.

Is Nick Sirianni STILL not getting the respect he deserves?

This week on Sports Talk with Gary, Gary is actually here from the beginning — Kyle can relax — and we’ve got a LOT to talk about.

The Phillies are rolling, but then it’s all Eagles as we break down the latest preseason game and what we’re seeing as the regular season gets closer.

🏈 On this episode:

• Has Tanner McKee officially won the QB2 job?
• Could the Eagles win by running the ball and riding the defense?
• The surprising depth of the Eagles offensive line
• Why Willie Lampkin is apparently a “bowling ball of knives”
• The biggest concern in the Eagles secondary
• Jeremiah Trotter Jr. vs. Jihaad Campbell
• Should the Eagles keep four running backs?
• Concerns about the rookie tight end and the passing game
• Why the Eagles have become a defensive tackle factory
• And the big one: How is Nick Sirianni only considered the 10th-best coach in the NFL?!

Sirianni has made the playoffs every year, reached two Super Bowls and won one, yet somehow coaches with far less recent success continue to get ranked ahead of him. We get into Sirianni, Sean McVay, Sean Payton, Andy Reid and whether not calling plays should really be held against the Eagles head coach.

Plus, Gary closes the show with a very important formal apology to Elena Delle Donne...and naturally everything goes off the rails immediately afterward.
