‘The Full Go’ returns as the guys open the podcast with a story from Tony and discuss why he’s the biggest hater. Next, Jason breaks down the significance of the White Sox's failure to hold a press conference for Pedro Grifol’s dismissal. He explains why the decision was that of a small-market team, why a fresh start is in order, and why fans deserve better (1:29). Next, Jason welcomes Shannon Furman to the podcast to discuss 'Hard Knocks.' The two talk about the planning that goes into the show, how they build a rapport with a team, and how they teach players and coaches to operate when there are cameras around. They also talk about what's it like to cover Caleb Williams, setting up the Jonathan Owens–Simone Biles scene, and how special it was to record the DJ Moore signing (38:51). To wrap, Jason gives his thoughts on Caleb Williams naming Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers as his top two quarterbacks in the NFL and explains why there was some shade involved in his choice (59:03).
