The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote

LeBron is taking a break from social media. Should you? Are you ready to stop being performatively fascinating and get authentically dull? And is Bluesky the XFL of Twitter — or a refreshingly Musk-free community worth joining? Plus: "Re-Potting with Pablo," making lentil, fighting in Temecula, road rage, Mastodon, two ejaculating giraffes, a charging wildebeest and the actually hungry hippo (with suspenders and a pocket watch).

Roy, David and Ethan are back to recap the week that was in the National Hockey League. They start off with their slap shots of the week including who will be the next coach fired in the NHL. That leads into Ethan taking a victory lap after he correctly predicted a few weeks ago on the show that Jim Montgomery of the Boston Bruins would be the first coach fired in the league. Plus, Mats Zuccarello suffered what kind of injury?! Then, Linda Cohn of ESPN and the Kraken Hockey Network joins the show to discuss the Seattle Kraken's progressive hiring practices, her Mount Rushmore of current goaltenders and how she feels about her beloved New York Rangers. To finish up, the boys recap what was a tough week for the Florida Panthers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jeremy, we good? The crew kicks off The Big Suey by discussing The George Pickens Experience™. Hawk loves watching Pickens and describes why he's one of the most unconventional athletes he can remember. Are you a better football player when you're a fan of violence? Then, Dan wants to know how to measure Jared Goff against some of the all-time greats, Amin retells a Tim Duncan story after Dan took some creative liberties, and the crew goes to the Bucket of Death. Plus, Hawk is convinced Mike will be back on the Browns bandwagon at some point, but it's just going to take the right circumstances. Learn more about your ad choices.

Content warning: Today's Local Hour contains conversation about sexual assault and sexual misconduct. If you or a loved one has been a victim of sexual abuse, you are not alone. Help is available via the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. Today's cast: Dan, Amin, Andrew Hawkins, Chris, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony. After last night's fun on Thursday Night Football full of wacky football in the snow, Dan inexplicably wanted to begin the Shadow Show with RFK Jr. sound. Then, Jameis Winston delivered some incredibly funny and memorable sound last night both before and after the Browns win, but after we listen to a montage, Dan notices a look on Jeremy's face from the corner of the room. Are we allowed to discuss Jameis without having conversations about his past? What if it's a celebration of his personality? Where do we draw the line on this show in particular? Plus, Hawk declares himself the "Myles Garrett of movement" as we discuss Garrett's dominance, and Jason Kelce's fame continues to escalate. We'll hear video from TMZ of a fan going after Kelce whenever the video team gets it together, but in the meantime, Dan, Amin, and Hawk discuss how fame can be suffocating and how Kelce will potentially need to change in order to handle it.

Stugotz, Billy, and Mikey A are getting ready for a big week of football surrounding...Indiana? Mike Golic joins the show to play a game of What if? and hear some of Billy and Stugotz's ideas to improve the college and NFL game. Golic is less than impressed. Simms joins the show in the middle of Stugotz's book tour and isn't happy about it. Simms thinks the Giants might have an issue with Tommy DeVito starting instead of Drew Lock or Daniel Jones. Simms is really impressed with the Bills and thinks they would beat the Chiefs again in the playoffs if they match up. K Funk is back to make picks with the rest of the crew, but Mojo has a new approach when talking to him. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tony kicks things off with a Thursday ThUNDER put together by Mike Ryan. Then, Jessica's insubordination leads to Dan taking everyone's phones, Amin gets reckless about Jay Leno's injuries (again), and reports of an ESPN staple, Around the Horn, coming to an end spark a conversation about the history of the show and what it did for the sports media landscape. Plus, Mina Kimes is here, and before we get to football, we need to examine a photo of Willow with Santa Claus that includes a rather unfortunate angle of...well...Santa's balls. Once we're done with Mina's vivid description, she delivers analysis on the Ravens, Steelers, 49ers, Bengals, Cowboys, Chiefs, Simpsons, Texans, Packers, Chargers, and 'Tommy DeVito, I guess.'
