In Episode 55, Jeff and Jason are back to discuss travel woes, existential questions, and the shocking state of the NFC North. Jeff recounts a travel nightmare involving Delta delays and a massive hotel upgrade in Maryland, while Jason shares news about his new sales role and his ongoing battle to win over his dog, Charlie. The guys pivot to music, with Jeff introducing the industrial synth-wave sounds of Irving Force and Jason quizzing Jeff on the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees. They also discuss Matt Cameron's new project and the longevity of rockers like Sammy Hagar. Things get deep with a "What If" segment about Simulation Theory before shifting to football. The Chicago Bears are sitting in sole possession of first place (proof of a simulation?), but questions remain about Caleb Williams' accuracy. The episode wraps up with a look at the GM/Coach dynamic and a comparison between the Bears and the 49ers.
