The fellas are back and dumber than ever — but for once, it looks like the Patriots aren’t. Dr. Big Mac, Rich, and Chief Bobby break down what may just be the smartest draft class in New England Patriots history, led by new leadership and one giant barn door of a man, OT Will Campbell. From the smart picks (yes, even the kicker) to a few head-scratchers (a running back in Round 2?!), the crew dives deep into the Pats' 2025 NFL Draft.

Then it’s time to hand the mic to our Southern-fried savant for HEADLINES WITH THE OBVIOUS ONE, where we try to decipher the week in Boston sports through the ramblings of a man who thinks logic is a type of barbecue sauce.

Whether you're a diehard Patriots fan or just here for the unhinged ramblings of The Obvious One, this episode's got enough hot takes and heartburn to make Bill Belichick break a smile. Maybe.
