Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sarah Spain Breaks Down Olympic Drama & Women’s Ice Hockey
Q: Do you think that it was strategic for JD Vance to specifically be at a USA Women's Hockey match?
It just would be a real shame to try to argue that they support women because of appearances like that, while actively working against them in any number of ways.
Sarah Spain Breaks Down Olympic Drama & Women’s Ice Hockey
Q: So, Sarah, thank you so much for joining us. I believe you are currently in Cortina, correct?
Yes, yes. Our third stop in our Italian adventure, La Dolce Vita it is.
Patriots vs. Seahawks: Redemption, Revenge, and a Super Bowl Rematch
Q: What have you seen Sam Darnold adjust or change that has made him a completely different quarterback from disastrous years on the Jets?
Sam Darnold has shown long stretches of consistency. He's been able to string together excellent games, largely helped by the support in Seattle, which contrasts starkly from his time in New York.
Patriots vs. Seahawks: Redemption, Revenge, and a Super Bowl Rematch
Q: What would it mean in football circles if the Patriots were able to return to the top of the mountain with really two, maybe three rebuilding years under their belt?
It would be incredibly frustrating for other franchises, especially those cycling through quarterbacks and coaches, to see New England back at the top so soon after their dynasty.
Patriots vs. Seahawks: Redemption, Revenge, and a Super Bowl Rematch
Q: Can you break down how each of these teams got here, what their regular seasons looked like, and then the crazy playoffs we saw with both of these teams on the road to the Super Bowl?
Seattle was the best and most complete team for the bulk of the season with a tough defense and good coaching. New England faced a lighter schedule, and they struggled in playoffs against injured opponents.
