  • “It’s the worst loss in playoff history since Bill Buckner.” – Max (13:47)
  • Emotional distance: “It's just blank nothingness. I walked into the darkest place I could find. I just wanted to be in a super dark room.” – Max (19:09)
  • Blame, pain, and Philly sports agony—as real as sports podcasting gets.
• Group tries to lighten the mood but keeps hitting the pain:
  • “He should have gone to first, you think?” – Big Cat (13:50)
  • “That is a play you’d be shocked to see on a little league field.” – Max (14:01)

Max Turns Into the Joker: Eagles’ Disastrous TNF Loss
