This week on The Underdog:

 

🏈 NFL Tush Push Vote & Fallout

00:00 – 05:45
Chris and Matt open the episode discussing the NFL’s vote on banning the Eagles’ “tush push” play. Although it initially seemed likely to be banned, the vote fell short of the required 24-team supermajority. They examine how teams voted, with 13 of 14 on the Eagles’ schedule voting to ban it. The hosts criticize coaches like Shane Steichen and Jonathan Gannon, whose careers benefited from the play yet voted against it.


🏈 Double-Team Block Proposal & League Reactions

05:45 – 06:46
Chris explains that the Packers’ proposal to ban the tush push also unintentionally targeted double-team blocks, sparking backlash. Analysts compiled clips showing common, legal plays that would’ve been banned.


🏈 NFL Owners Meeting Details

06:46 – 07:45
The Eagles were pivotal in defeating the proposal. Chris highlights a passionate 30-minute speech from owner Jeffrey Lurie that reportedly influenced votes. The hosts also note Jim Irsay’s passing and his NFL legacy.


🏀 Knicks vs. Pacers Game Recap

07:45 – 09:45
Matt reveals his fading interest in the NBA and admits he only watched the final two minutes of Knicks-Pacers. Chris gives a full recap of the overtime thriller: Tyrese Haliburton’s controversial two-pointer, Obi Toppin’s highlight dunk, and Aaron Nesmith’s unsung heroics.


🏀 Wembanyama’s Height Debate

09:45 – 13:33
Chris dives into online speculation surrounding Victor Wembanyama’s true height. Despite being listed at 7’3″, photo analysis suggests he could be 7’6″ or taller. They debate whether extreme height is a benefit or drawback given his slim frame and potential durability concerns.


📺 TV Talk & Movie Reviews

13:33 – 20:23
The hosts pivot to entertainment, reviewing:

  • Beetlejuice 2 

  • Wednesday Season 2

  • A Complete Unknown

  • Hostiles 


👟 Sneaker Culture & Kobe Proto 9s

👟 Swarovski Jordans & Resale Market

25:28 – 30:00
The $1,000 Swarovski Jordan 1s lead to debate over their resale viability. Chris researches prices and finds some sales, but many sizes are stagnant. 


👟 Kids’ Sneakers & Practicality

30:00 – 32:53
Chris shares a Reddit story of someone stockpiling high-end kids’ shoes. Matt rejects the idea, citing rapid growth and daycare wear and tear. They laugh over children outgrowing $75 Jordans.


👟 Most Comfortable Shoes & Running Shoes

32:53 – 35:50
The hosts talk daily wear favorites:

  • Matt: Jordan 1 Lows, Adidas Ultra Boosts

  • Chris: Nike Vomero 5
    They critique bulky shoes like Hokas and New Balance 9060s for comfort vs. style.


🏃‍♂️ Gym Talk, Running, and Fitness Struggles

35:50 – 44:23
Both hosts reflect on past exercise routines, gym habits, and falling out of fitness patterns. Matt recounts a Planet Fitness phase, Chris shares stories from basketball runs at the Fellowship House, and both lament how quickly healthy habits fade.


🥗 Nutrition, Calories & Diet Apps

44:23 – 47:00
They share frustrations with food tracking apps like MyFitnessPal and Noom, fast food calorie bomb revelations (e.g., Olive Garden’s 1,900-cal tortellini), and how a single donut can wipe out hours of exercise.
