About this episode

The episode discusses the overhyped 49ers, the rise of CJ Stroud, and a defense of nu-metal music.

This week, Nate Tice from Football 301 joins the show to help us unpack why the 49ers might be dangerously overhyped, even if Brock Purdy remains wildly underrated under center. Then, we head over to the AFC to declare why you need to buy all the stock in the Houston Texans and their fantastic young quarterback, CJ Stroud. We also break down why Fernando Mendoza has found himself in the absolute perfect situation to succeed, before taking a trip down memory lane to remind everyone that prime Dan Marino was basically Superman playing the QB position. Finally, we close out the show with a pop-culture confession: we're defending the nu-metal renaissance and debating why Korn and Limp Bizkit might actually be... good.
