Matt went all the way to Boston just to watch the Steelers get smoked, and somehow the Patriots fans were the nice part of the trip.

Then comedian and Bengals diehard Michael Turner enters enemy territory.

Michael gets into growing up a Bengals fan, taking his comedy on the road with football, why Cincinnati will always hate Pittsburgh, and what it is actually like walking into an opposing stadium wearing the wrong jersey. Matt and Michael compare AFC North cities, tailgates, fan bases, food, fights, and why Bills fans might be doing football better than everybody.

Eventually the conversation gets completely off the rails with the Damar Hamlin game, insane sports hypotheticals, conspiracies, Michael getting the villain edit on TV, bombing as a comedian, and of course a Steelers Bengals prediction before Sunday.

Enemy for seventy six minutes. Friend after that. Maybe.

Matt finally tells Jesse what actually happened when he flew to Turkey for a hair transplant, including waking up to somebody calling him Joseph and realizing every bald dude on the plane was probably there for the exact same reason.

Then it's football. The Steelers are 1 and 0, TJ Watt looks very much not washed, Jesse's custom cleats are already making plays, and Matt is feeling a lot better about this team after watching the game again.

Somehow that turns into Steelers tailgates, Matt's top blackout bars in Pittsburgh, what happened to the South Side, whether Babe Ruth could play today, the Chargers curse, Arch Manning potentially telling Cleveland to go fuck themselves, Joey Porter Jr., Matt admitting he might have been a Ravens fan in another life, and finally his weekly reminder that he absolutely hates the New England Patriots.

Welcome to episode one. We had a plan. Kind of.

Matt Light and Jesse Woods get into why the Steelers actually have a shot this year, Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy, Drew Allar, Mason Rudolph, NFL gambling, and why Matt is already sending Pittsburgh to the Super Bowl.

Then we give the Pirates about one percent of the show, which feels fair, make the case for bringing Andrew McCutchen back, get into the fake NFL player Daejon Love, and somehow end up debating autographs, signed jerseys, and how weird sports fandom gets when you really think about it.

Football is back. The Steelers are going to the Super Bowl. We're off to a completely reasonable start.
