In the 122nd episode of The Truth with Tal & Isaac, the boys talk briefly about the Pistons struggles, crossing guards, and the Dark Knight trilogy. 

Their first main topic is discussing the Lions Championship game vs the 49ers. Their emotions are mostly controlled and the game is discussed in detail - what went right, what went wrong, etc. They try to make it as positive as possible. They go through everything from the poor execution, to the secondary disasterclass, to the coaching decisions. A perfect storm of fluke bad luck, poor execution, and miraculous plays resulted in the Lions losing at San Francisco in the NFC Championship game... it is safe to say we are happy with the 2023-2024 Detroit Lions team and look forward to the future. 

After that, the boys go through the best moments of the Lions season... from Branch's pick 6 of Mahomes/Toney in Week 1, to Amon-Ra's Divisional Game winning first down, to Jamo's majestic end around score versus the Niners. 

Then, the boys touch on the Ravens/Chiefs AFC Championship game. 

To wrap the show up, the boys preview the Super Bowl (begrudgingly) - Chiefs vs Niners in Vegas. They talk about some of the negatives surrounding the final game, in general and this year specifically. 

Shoutout to the fans for sticking with us and shoutout to the Lions for giving us an unforgettable season. Those two home playoff victories we were able to witness will go down in history.

In the 121st episode of The Truth with Tal & Isaac, the boys get right into the show, no off the tops.  

Their first main topic is discussing the Lions Divisional Round win over the Buccaneers. The boys were again in person for the historic, emotional game. They break down the game itself - huge Gibbs day, Branch and Hutch continue to step up, Baker earned our respect, and more. They also go into detail about some of the legendary stories that came from the day - elite cameos from a lot of folks and some clutch plays from many different characters. Another all-time day with some great tales. 

After that, the boys briefly touch on the rest of the Divisional Round weekend. They talk about the Packers blowing the game to the 49ers, the Bills collapsing to the Chiefs, and the underwhelming Ravens domination over the Texans. 

Then, the boys look ahead to Championship Weekend and talk about the upcoming matchups. 

To wrap the show up, the boys go through their top 5(ish) favourite in-person sporting moments they have witnessed. The OG's list is historic and covers some more time.

In the 120th episode of The Truth with Tal & Isaac, the boys start with some off the tops - THANK YOU TO THE FANS, Pistons meaningless trade, Red Wings heating up, etc.  

Their first main topic is discussing the historic and legendary Detroit Lions playoff victory. They go in depth breaking down the game and every storyline you could think of. They discuss the Stafford piece, the city embracing Jared Goff as their own, and being apart of the greatest home atmosphere in American sports history (maybe hyperbole). They discuss what it was like being in person for the game and all of the crazy stories that come with it. It was truly an investment that was well worth it. Lots of sobbing and emotion in Ford Field on Sunday, lots of tears were shed. On Sunday, January 14, 2024... we were in Ford Field and we witnessed one of the best games you will ever see. 

After that, the boys briefly touch on the rest of the Wildcard weekend. They talk about the Packers dominating the Fraud Cowboys, and cover the rest of the relatively underwhelming games. 

On January 14th, we brought the first Lions playoff victory since 1991.
On January 21st, we are going to bring another.
