In this week's episode of "Delusional Fandom," Brad, Jonathan, and Max dive headfirst into the wild world of NFL fandom, where reality takes a backseat to wishful thinking. Jonathan kicks things off by declaring his undying loyalty to the Panthers, despite their rocky start, claiming, "You can't be 15 and two without two losses!" Meanwhile, Brad and Max keep the receipts on Jonathan's flip-flopping fandom, as they hilariously recount his text messages that swing from "We are trash" to "Panthers 14 and three, let's go!"

The trio also tackles the pressing issue of the Falcons' kicker woes, with Jonathan jokingly blaming Russia for hacking his phone and sending those negative texts. As the episode unfolds, the hosts debate the merits of various NFL players and teams, with Brad humorously suggesting that Derek Henry should carry a football everywhere, even during "business time" with his lady, to avoid fumbling.

Max, ever the optimist, predicts a bright future for the Panthers, while Brad and Jonathan engage in a spirited discussion about the delusional takes of Deion Sanders and Shador's practice squad comments. The episode wraps up with the hosts making their game picks for the week, with Jonathan vowing to "keep pounding" as the Panthers' number one fan, even if it means pounding the wall in frustration.
