AI says:
Episode 203 finds Brad deep in midweek chaos — Election Day confusion, nonstop kid illnesses, broken routines, fundraising overload, and the creeping sense that he’s forgetting twelve things at once. He recounts accidentally voting for people simply because they were nice to his wife, the bizarre “Kevin Hardwick looks like Kevin Bacon” loop now stuck in his brain, and the surreal NYC mayoral result led by a 32-year-old Muslim socialist who somehow beat Andrew Cuomo. Brad also breaks down the looming YouTube TV vs. ABC blackout that threatens his wife’s sacred Thursday night Grey’s Anatomy, wanders into Guy Fawkes lore, critiques a disastrous new Kim Kardashian legal drama, and explains why a confusing Buffalo News headline about snow nearly broke him. There’s Radiohead talk (they’re back, and he regrets skipping them in ’95), AI chiropractor videos, and a detour into his hatred of Clyde Simmons for the shovel-pass pick that ruined Jim Kelly’s final playoff game.
At 11:00, Bob Gaughan joins for a long, hilarious, wide-ranging segment. They hit everything from gerrymandering fixes to uninformed voting guilt to whether the Bills’ “perfect game” vs. Kansas City was actually a reason for concern. They rave about Hoyt’s breakout, worry about replacing him after the injury, defend Brandon Beane’s defensive vision, and debate Keon Coleman’s role, Palmer’s return, and the possibility of Gabe Davis re-emerging in the postseason. Bob unloads on the new realities of college football jobs after Nick Saban’s recent comments, and closes with his online war against Dodgers fans after the Blue Jays statistically outplayed L.A. in the World Series. Brad wraps by previewing tomorrow’s guest — Joe Licata, his son’s health teacher and Williamsville South head coach — and laughing at the idea that his kid skipped class the same day he’s interviewing the teacher. A dense, funny, loaded episode.
