Brad opens Episode 222 with a delirious, overtired recap of accidentally falling asleep at 8:20 p.m., waking up at 1:15 a.m. fully recharged, and realizing the post-COVID world has killed all the late-night options that used to make nocturnal life fun — like grocery shopping alone at 3 a.m. He wanders through the joys and perils of being a lifelong night owl, a sore throat that may mutate into seven different symptoms over seven days (as it always does), and the existential crisis of being addicted not to social media but to puzzle games he insists are “for children.” There are riffs on bottle returns, pennies disappearing from society, Ferris Bueller tributes in art museum commercials, and whatever else crossed the dashboard of his sleep-deprived brain.
From there the show shifts into Bills-Pats mode, with Brad laying out why the division is still wide open, how one win in Foxborough resets the entire AFC picture, and why December football shouldn’t trigger panic in Buffalo — it only matters that the Bills land in the tournament. He runs through playoff math, quarterback tiers, Josh Allen’s absurd postseason numbers, and the vulnerabilities of AFC contenders, while weaving in life updates: 17 youth-sports events per week, his 6’2" son learning to play big in basketball, and the thrill of a buzzer-beater. By the time Brad gets to Australia banning teens from social media, Golden Globe nominations, and a four-hour Puff Daddy documentary he watched at 2 a.m., you’ve heard a full Brad-Riter-day compressed into two hours — sports, parenting, insomnia, Bills optimism, and unfiltered Buffalo brain.
