R.K. Russell, the first openly bisexual player in the NFL, visits the pod to chat about Heated Rivalry. Russell’s live Threads posts garnered attention in the fandom for his honest, tender, and sometimes controversial takes on the Canadian series, which stars Connor Storrie and Luke Hudson. Russell came out as bisexual in 2019, playing for the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The trio also discusses representation in the series, and hopes for season 2.

Why do holidays matter? In the season finale, our hosts share their ideal year of holidays: some ancient, some sacrilegious, and some downright pornographic. Considering sociologist Amitai Etzioni’s scholarship around holidays, Blake and Kashif decide to keep, tweak, or trash celebrations that occupy the American calendar year. What the heck is up with Groundhog Day? A tough day to be ugly in Ancient Greece. TLC’s Trading Spaces–Ancient Roman Edition. DOGEing the hell out of American war holidays. They close with the last Game of the season.
