Set Hike!

In this Thanksgiving-week episode, the crew breaks down the Eagles’ brutal loss to Dallas, debates what’s really wrong with the offense, and spirals beautifully into chaos involving weather patterns, cartoon bears, biomechanics, and celestial bodies. Along the way, Stat Boy delivers his most unhinged “statistics” yet, Turtle derails the show via Jellystone Park, and a mystery listener from Boardman, Oregon becomes a show legend. 

Despite the loss, the gang finds reasons for optimism as they look ahead to Bears–Eagles and discuss how to fix the offensive identity.
