February opens with a groundhog identity crisis, spirals into the Eagles’ coaching staff being Thanos-snapped, and somehow lands on ferrets as sentient socks and Puppy Bowl scouting reports. The hosts mourn the loss of Stoutland like a fallen general, canonize Sean Mannion as both savior and mystery, and declare Santa Clara a fraudulent city built on bad vibes and worse geography. Along the way, they litigate Groundhog Day accuracy rates, re-rank Bill Murray’s filmography (Space Jam truthers stand up), draft celebrity Super Bowl reps, and uncover the real value of Olympic medals (spoiler: bronze is basically Home Depot change). Hail Mannion, full of Grizz, Mahaffey’s with thee — and may the Schwartz be with you.
