In this episode, Rob & DT discuss everything about our Buffalo Bills at the halfway point of the '25 NFL season. From their improbable win last Sunday over the Chiefs, to the trade deadline inaction by Brandon Beane and beyond.Never a doubt! LOL.

S5 E20: Poison
In this episode, Rob & Dump Truck are joined by Sheed (Sheed808) to try and make sense of our Bills' 2nd consecutive loss as they fell to the Atlanta Falcons 24-14 on Monday Night Football. What were the issues and how do they fix them?Rob contests that 'Everybody Eats' is a poison by tricking The Mafia into thinking that 17 doesn't need much help to succeed.
