Brendon and Ronnie are putting a focus on football as both college and pros start wrapping up seasons. Along the way, the fellas discover that college bowl games don't really die, think math of the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs is embarrassing, and drop a handful of deep cut books written by African American authors. Brendon has many mayonnaise-based puns, sneaks in some Sumo Wrestling chat, and tells us about how his son accidentally made a Dad joke. Ronnie has a knack for making up real-sounding bowl games, already has ideas for John Harbaugh's next job, and sparks what might be one of the longest and nerdiest tangents to date.

Brendon and Ronnie are bringing back one of their first annual traditions -- making bold predictions for the new year and picking the champions for everything from the Stanley Cup to Formula-1 to the World Cup. Along the way, the fellas wonder if a superteam is brewing in the WNBA, try to figure out the name of an unannounced NBA team in Las Vegas, and each pick the Dodgers to win the World Series (for very different reasons). Brendon is looking ahead to the 2026 NFL Season, dying to make more Winter Olympic predictions, and sees big things happening in Sumo Wrestling. Ronnie jumps off the deep end when talking about the Super Bowl, believes the NBA will revive a "super" team in Seattle, and thinks the Stanley Cup will be decided in an early round of the playoffs.

Brendon and Ronnie are revisiting the predictions they made at the beginning of the year. Along the way, the fellas discuss the unique evolution of a nickname for Arsenal supporters, make deep cuts from the TGIF era, and could never have predicted how awesome Krypto the Superdog is. Brendon explains the benefits and banes of a Costco membership, is optimistic about the Giants soon ending their Opening Day Left Fielder conundrum, and reveals the Merriam-Webster Word of the Year. Ronnie might have developed a new quiz game, is surprised to find that Farhan Zaidi yo-yo'ed back to the Dodgers, and revels in how dominant the Pacific Northwest has been in MLS.
