Episode: The Big Suey: Jeremy Costs Everyone Money (feat. Nick Wright)
Date: November 17, 2025

Overview

This episode of "The Big Suey" centers on the fallout from a painful betting loss involving Nick Wright, the Shipping Container crew, and their Chiefs fandom. Featuring a highly entertaining blend of sports angst, locker room analysis, and trademark show banter, the group dissects the Kansas City Chiefs’ costly defeat and its ripple effects—financial and emotional—through the studio. The episode also covers NFL storylines, playoff picture chaos, iconic defensive performances, and hilarity from the sports weekend.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Bet, The Blame, and The Heartbreak

• Nick Wright had staked $5,000—potential winnings for the Shipping Container—on the Chiefs to cover -3.5. When the Chiefs failed to cover, it became the second consecutive time he failed to deliver prize money, leading to good-humored but real heartbreak and finger-pointing.
• Jeremy Tashay, in his first-ever sports bet, is singled out for jinxing the kick by launching a “Harrison Butker” chant right before a crucial blocked extra point.
• The crew relives the pivotal play-by-play, blending real-time reactions with self-aware, comedic suffering.

Quote:

“I blame Jeremy. I blame Jeremy.” – Nick Wright ([04:27])
“Jeremy Tashay is forever banned from receiving any money.” – Nick Wright ([05:02])

2. Nick Wright’s Gambler’s Lament and Banter with the Crew

• Nick details his many bets layered across the day, showing the complexity (and stress) of high-volume sports gambling. He describes sleeplessness, emailing his financial advisor, and getting heckled on the street over a Chiefs loss.
• He ranks his pain: Team’s playoff hopes first, pride second, money lost a distant third.
• The show leans into ritualistic banter, banning Jeremy from future winnings and likening the whole debacle to classic, self-sabotaging sports fandom.

Quote:

“This was a wake up at two in the morning dreaming about the game type of loss… an email your financial manager at 6am, like ‘hey man, I know this is the account we say we don’t touch but I need a little transfer.’” – Nick Wright ([10:04])

3. Chiefs’ Playoff Outlook and AFC Chaos

• Nick (still raw with emotion) and the show discuss the new, uncomfortable reality that the Chiefs (and Ravens/Lions) might miss the postseason or lose tiebreakers.
• The Chiefs’ inability to win one-score games, their shocking placement "in the hunt," and Mahomes’ uncharacteristic mistakes all signal a league in flux.

Quote:

“I feel like this is such… the stuff the poverty-level teams talk about: ‘we don’t have the tiebreaker with the Jags.’ Gross.” – Nick Wright ([11:41])
“If the playoffs started today, the Lions, Ravens, and Chiefs would be out.” – Stugotz ([14:12])

4. NFL Weekend Recap & Power Shifts

• The crew reflects on a wild week: the Broncos’ transformation from laughingstock to defensive juggernaut, a historic pass rush, the Lions and Goff floundering outside the dome, and the Eagles’ ugly but effective dominance.
• The unpredictability of quarterbacks—Josh Allen’s wild “stallion” game and record-tying six-touchdown performance—is celebrated and critiqued in equal measure.

Quote:

“That’s as bad as Jared Goff has ever played. I’m including a 13-3 Super Bowl loss to the Patriots.” – Dan Le Batard ([24:15])
“Josh Allen… It’s like watching an actual stallion play football.” – Stugotz ([29:11])

5. Funniest and Most Memorable Moments

• Recurring mockery and “baptisms by fire” for Jeremy—having his first bet go wrong, then being officially “banned” from all future monetary gain.
• Greg Cody’s musing that he’s a Larry David prototype.
• Extended riff on the “quite frankly, bleep you” phrase from a player postgame, which the crew instantly adopts as a recurring bit.
• The “funniest thing” recap, featuring:
  • A ref plowing Sean Payton for a penalty ([42:59])
  • Riley Patterson (a kicker) inexplicably taping his wrists ([42:04])
  • Rangers-Red Wings hockey melee after a post-buzzer empty-net shot ([43:16])

Quotes:

“What he did yesterday was irrehensible. What he did yesterday was disgusting.” – Nick Wright ([16:41])
“You got anything to say, quite frankly, you…” – Ernest Jones, as quoted and adopted by the crew ([27:38])
“My algorithm on Instagram is dance and boobs.” – Zaz ([22:20])

6. Stats, Trends, and Context

• The Broncos’ defense is on a historic sack pace: 49 sacks on 438 dropbacks (11.2%). Crew compares them to the legendary Bears and Ravens D.
• Discussion about the Chiefs’ bizarre run in one-score games—11-0 last year to 0-5 this year.
• Correction and debate over which Bears defense had the most sacks—turns out to be the 1984 Bears, not ’83 or the ’85/’86 team as misremembered ([44:54]).

• Betting Heartbreak & Blame:

  “You walk over to a craps table and be like, hey, don’t roll a seven. Like, what is wrong with you, bro?” – Nick Wright ([05:30])

  “You got anything to say, quite frankly, bleep you.” – Dan Le Batard/Ernest Jones ([28:05], [32:48])

Tone and Style

• Playful, irreverent, self-deprecating: The crew pokes equal fun at each other’s sports “curse” and football follies as they do themselves.
• Honest about fandom pain: Nick Wright’s genuine anguish—financial and emotional—is both sincere and played up for laughs.
• Meta and self-aware: Jokes about being like Larry David, meta-poll questions (“Is being on time hard?”), and riffs on sports clichés.
• Lively, rapid-fire, and decidedly not stat-obsessed: The analysis is more conversational, anecdotal, and absurd than clinical.
