Episode 8 - The End of an Era for the Phillies, NFL Panic Meter, College Coaching Carousel and the Restaurant Appetizers Draft

October 15, 2025 • Shaun Boyle • Season 1 • Episode 8

Shaun is joined by the cousins (Shane Douglas and Jeremy Goode) to discuss a bunch of different topics, before wrapping the show up with the Appetizers Draft.

In the NFL, the boys provide a panic meter rating for all contenders who suffered a loss this weekend. On the college side, they recap the James Franklin firing at Penn State and who they turn to next along with some other noteworthy results from the past weekend.

They kick off the show with the weekly Tortured Fans Award being passed out to some first time winners and eventually touch on the best thing they saw this week to provide some joy.
