Colin is joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1 They start with the bad weather forecast for the upcoming Packers/Bears game and Colin argues that the weather will benefit the Bears due to their run game and Caleb Williams superior arm strength, and Danny explains why Bears fans are the most excited they’ve been in years (3:30). They also highlight which wild card weekend teams they feel most strongly about (11:00). Colin points to all the star, highly paid quarterbacks that missed the playoffs and argues that cheap, young quarterbacks with a stacked roster are a viable way to win in the NFL and that teams should pay big money very infrequently (15:00). They both agree that the NFL playoff field is WIDE OPEN and that almost any team could win (18:00). They debate what the Ravens should do next year and beyond with Lamar Jackson as his athletic powers diminish with age and what it will take to get the Ravens over the hump in the postseason (24:30). Colin argues John Harbaugh would be the perfect candidate to right the ship for the New York Giants (33:30) and they look at all the great young genius coaches that teams let walk in favor of long-tenured head coaches (37:30). Colin points to Ben Johnson as the next McVay and the job he’s done with the Bears in two years has been nothing short of spectacular. They credit both his scheme genius and culture building ability for the Bears turnaround (41:30). They also rank the NFL head coaches that they’d take over Ben Johnson and go around the league identifying the coaches they hold in highest regard (49:30) and preview Texans @ Steelers 1:08:00).

Ho ho hold up — it’s a Show Me Something Christmas. Our present to you? A highlight reel of the TOP 5 most iconic moments, hot takes, and absolute chaos from this year’s podcast. Sophie’s on a heater (until she’s not) as the Fever grind through a Caitlin Clark injury stretch — and she gets real about the highs/lows of being a “next shooter up,” and why the league needs to stop being messy about the new wave of attention. Then the convo swerves into pure internet chaos: the WNBA flying-dildo saga (yes, multiple… yes, neon green… yes, someone actually got arrested), plus Sophie breaking down why it’s funny and dangerous — especially when you’ve already tripped over one at home. From there it’s classic Sophie & West: Summer House cast trip ideas (Ozarks??), Paige being out of the house, tunnel fits and bandanas featuring West’s dad, and a quick flex on West’s Good Morning America moment with Arby’s steak nuggets and the “Hot Girls Eat Arby’s” shirt going viral. They wrap with “Tell Me Something” listener calls — dating advice from Chile to Texas, for the fellas and the ladies, plus a surprisingly wholesome question about what’s actually been filling their cups lately (spoiler: parents, cold beer, and… an elite dessert run).
