The Gridiron Throne

The Broncos are 7–2, Isaac is emotionally exhausted, and Jessie is officially back in a situationship with the New York Giants. Somebody needs to check on both of them.

Welcome back to The Gridiron Throne Podcast, where winning doesn't guarantee happiness, losing doesn't guarantee heartbreak, and apparently Cam Skattebo is somebody's boo-boo.

This week, Isaac wants to know why the Broncos can't just WIN LIKE ADULTS. Sixteen straight one-score victories?! Sean Payton is directing horror movies instead of football games, and Isaac's Garmin thinks he's being chased through the Rockies by a mountain lion.

Meanwhile, Jessie is celebrating another Seahawks win, giving Drew Lock his flowers, and wondering whether Seattle has finally found some consistency.

Then it's time for ARE THEY?!, where we ask the question Cleveland fans are terrified to answer: Are the Browns about to BROWN? Jessie says the franchise is the same emotionally unavailable man in a different quarter-zip. Isaac thinks Shedeur Sanders might be the plot twist Cleveland needs. And somehow, the Browns defense ends up being a single parent working two jobs.

Finally, in JESSIE'S WAIVER WIRE, things get personal.

Jessie is swiping right on the Giants AGAIN, admitting she might have a thing for emotionally unpredictable football teams, and reminding everyone that Cam Skattebo will always be her Skatteboo-boo.

We also investigate which NFL fan base enjoys heartbreak the most (looking at you, Bills Mafia) and why the Chargers are basically the attractive guy with a great dating profile who has absolutely nothing interesting to say.

It's questionable football takes, terrible dating analogies, unnecessary trash talk, and two friends who are increasingly concerned about their own emotional stability.

No analytics. All emotion. Same game. Different perspective.

Welcome to The Gridiron Throne Podcast.

The Broncos beat Patrick Mahomes, Isaac's blood pressure is at an all-time high, and Jessie has officially revealed the secret to winning her heart: DON'T. LIKE. HIKING.

Welcome back to Gridiron Throne, where football is emotional, opinions are questionable, and apparently dating standards are negotiable.

This week, Isaac is celebrating Denver's win over the Chiefs while wondering why his team insists on waiting until the fourth quarter to remember how to play football. Meanwhile, Jessie is trying to convince him that Seahawks fans deserve some credit for Kansas City's misery, too. Spoiler: he's not having it.

In the One-Minute Drill, the Broncos defense continues its reign as the HOA of the Rockies, Bo Nix apparently needs extreme emotional distress to function, and Jessie prepares herself for another potentially stressful Seahawks game.

Then it's time for Are They?!, where we ask whether the Pittsburgh Steelers are legitimate Super Bowl contenders or just really good at being the Pittsburgh Steelers. Isaac believes in the Aaron Rodgers–Mike McCarthy reunion. Jessie thinks it's another farewell tour nobody asked for.

And finally, Jessie's Waiver Wire takes an unexpected turn. After the Buccaneers somehow win a game without completing a pass, Jessie reveals the ONE thing a man can say that makes her overlook practically every red flag.

He hates hiking.

That's it. That's the requirement.

Apparently, questionable feet, questionable decisions, and a Ring Pop proposal are all negotiable—as long as nobody expects her to climb a mountain.

It's NFL chaos, questionable dating advice, unnecessary trash talk, and two friends who probably shouldn't be allowed to make football predictions.

No analytics. All emotion. Same game. Different perspective.

Welcome to The Gridiron Throne Podcast.

This week on Gridiron Throne, Isaac is celebrating Denver's takeover of Arizona, Jessie has officially fallen back in love with Sam Darnold, and we're both trying to figure out what kind of alternate NFL universe we're living in.

In the One-Minute Drill, Bo Nix apparently remembered he has legs, the Broncos defense has become the world's most aggressive homeowners association, and Jessie goes from wanting Darnold left in Denver to declaring him her guy. Ah, the emotional stability of football fans.

Then it's time for Are They?!, where we tackle two very important questions:

🏈 Are the undefeated Minnesota Vikings actually going to the Super Bowl, or are they just the Dallas Cowboys in disguise?

🏈 Are the 0–6 Los Angeles Chargers REALLY that bad? Justin Herbert is giving away footballs, Mike McDaniel's offensive genius needs a factory reset, and somehow Jesus gets brought into the offensive-line discussion.

Finally, in Jessie's Waiver Wire, she's swiping right on the Seahawks (again), considering a questionable relationship with the Cleveland Browns, and revealing that her actual dating life might need a new offensive coordinator.

It's questionable football opinions, unnecessary trash talk, emotional whiplash, and two friends who refuse to agree on anything.

No analytics. All emotion. Same game. Different perspective.

Welcome back to The Gridiron Throne Podcast.

SPECIAL EDITION: The Seahawks Lost and Now Breakfast Is Awkward

One house. Two rival fans. One VERY uncomfortable morning after.

Jess traveled all the way to Austin to watch her defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks take on Isaac's Denver Broncos. What could possibly go wrong?

Well… the Broncos won 17–14, Jess had to make the walk of shame downstairs for her morning coffee, and Isaac has absolutely no intention of being gracious about any of it.

In this special, in-person edition of Gridiron Throne, we're skipping our usual segments (mostly) and processing the emotional damage from Thursday Night Football.

Jess is ready to bench Sam Darnold, Isaac is celebrating the weirdest 4–2 record in NFL history, Bo Nix is giving everyone anxiety, and somehow the Seahawks' offensive coordinator ends up on Jessie's dating radar.

It's heartbreak, questionable quarterback play, an awkward breakfast, and a whole lot of trash talk between friends.

No analytics. No emotional maturity. Just the raw emotion of being a fan.

Welcome to a very special edition of Gridiron Throne.

Are the Browns… actually good? Isaac says yes, which immediately raises some serious questions about his judgment.

This week, Raiders superfan Ben Love joins Isaac and Jessie to bring a completely unbiased and definitely reasonable perspective on the NFL. The crew debates whether the Browns and Giants are for real, Ben spreads Raiders propaganda, Isaac processes another Broncos loss in a totally healthy way, and Jessie heads back to the Waiver Wire to decide which NFL teams deserve a swipe right.

Plus: exploding Broncos ankles, a completely unhinged Justin Herbert trade prediction, dating red flags, and why sometimes an NFL team looks great on paper… until you actually have to date them.

No expert analysis. No pretending we know more than NFL coaches.

Just the raw, irrational, occasionally delusional experience of being a football fan.

Welcome to the Gridiron Throne.

Three weeks into the NFL season and we have one question: Are they actually good… or are we all just making things up?

This week we debut “Are They?” and try to figure out what to make of the Raiders, the Rams, and an NFL season where nobody seems to know anything.

Then we head back to The Waiver Wire, where Green Bay gets swiped left after an embarrassing first date, the Bills prove they’re husband material, and somehow “his bills are on autopay” becomes legitimate football analysis.

Plus: Jessie processes the Seahawks’ first loss, Isaac celebrates the Broncos through mostly unintelligible noises, and we make a bet ahead of the upcoming Broncos-Seahawks showdown in Austin.

Football analysis? Technically.

Raw emotion? Absolutely.

Welcome to the Gridiron Throne.

The NFL is already getting weird, and we’re only a couple weeks in.

This week, we’re talking Cowboys chaos, players puking on the field, crotch cleats, NFL WAG overload, Tim Tebow breaking things in Denver, and which teams are throwing up serious red flags.

Then Jess turns NFL teams into dating prospects, we accidentally invent an athlete-only dating app called The Waiver Wire, and somehow end up discussing height requirements, bad boys, emotional stability, and whether dating a professional curler would turn Jess into the Taylor Swift of curling.

Plus: Broncos and Seahawks reactions, one-minute drills, and the usual completely unbiased football analysis.

Welcome to the Gridiron Throne.

Week 1 doesn’t just set the tone—it reveals who’s real, who’s frauding, and who’s already giving off major red-flag energy. On this season premiere of The Gridiron Throne Podcast, Isaac and Jessie Christensen turn NFL opening weekend into the most brutal dating show in football, where every team is trying to earn a second date.

Isaac is fresh off a Broncos meltdown that includes missed tackles, offensive frustration, and the kind of trauma only Week 1 can deliver. Jessie comes in with a surprisingly optimistic read on the Seahawks, Drew Lock, and the league’s opening slate, while also calling out the teams that impressed her, the ones that flopped, and the ones she absolutely would not see again.

You’ll hear:

• Why the Giants earned a second date
• Why the Cardinals got ghosted
• Why the Texans still have a shot, even with one dealbreaker
• Why the Cowboys are the worst kind of confidence
• Why Week 2 already feels like a prove-it game for Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, and more

Isaac and Jessie also break down the biggest Week 2 matchups, from Lions-Bills to Giants-Rams, and debate which teams look built to last versus which ones were just one-game wonders. Along the way, they revisit the Seahawks, the Broncos, and the emotional whiplash that comes with believing too early.
