I've never seen / heard a ref defend himself to the fans like this and I wish it happened more often. Hilarious.

In this episode, Sophie Rivasplata and Emily Kurtz interview workers on the front lines of the restaurant industry. They tell the truth about what comes along with the job, and when tips pay your rent, you can't afford to let it show. That's how a $12 burger felt to Johnny like he was finally seen.

Eagles with 172 yards of total offense -- their lowest total in a game in the last 12 YEARS (!!!). 68 net passing yards -- their lowest total in a regular-season game in the last 23 YEARS (!!!).

Oh so Nick Sirianni goes for it on 4th-and-5 from the plus 46-yard line but not 4th-and-1 from the minus 49-yard line. It's just such a random and haphazard decision-making process.

This episode gets real about what it actually takes to juggle multiple jobs while chasing a degree: the exhaustion, the money stress, the sleep you don't get, and the moments that make it worth it anyway. If you're a working student — or you know one — this conversation is for you. 🎧
