Jeff and Jason are hyped for the official start of the NFL season! Before diving deep into football, Jeff recounts a long weekend trip to Monterey, California for a family celebration. The highlight of his trip was discovering a top-three, all-time chicken and waffles at a local spot called The Breakfast Club. Meanwhile, Jason started a new health cleanse involving a potent apple cider vinegar mix and got a surprise buzz cut from his wife. The guys also discuss a Pew Research study on the age demographics of news audiences, debate Billboard's list of the 21st century's greatest pop stars, and Jeff provides an unfortunate update on his cursed Polestar 3, which now has two screws in one tire. Finally, they get into the football talk, breaking down the massive Micah Parsons trade to the Green Bay Packers, analyzing the Bears' tough schedule, and going game-by-game to predict the entire slate of NFL Week 1 matchups.
