Jingle Home Hard and Die Alone All The Way: A Set Hike! Festivus Special

Festivus arrives early as the Set Hike! crew celebrates the Eagles clinching the NFC East by arguing about Pro Bowls, economics, Christmas movies, Midwest accents, and whether watching a game “hard enough” affects the outcome. Computer Scott returns for another Make-A-Wish–caliber appearance, Stat Boy deploys an irresponsible number of monitors, and Josh Johnson is officially declared one of the Three Wise Men of the NFC East. Somewhere in between fights, field goals, and Die Hard comparisons, the Eagles look like a defense-led playoff team — or possibly Home Alone with shoulder pads. Key Topics Discussed00:41 –  Festivus Special Kickoff 04:24 –  Eagles Clinch NFC East05:21 –  Playoff Seeding & Strategy 06:52 –  Pro Bowl Selections & Snubs 10:12 –  Game Breakdown & Party Viewing Chaos 12:20 –  Laissez-Faire Economics & Parenting 14:10 –  Host Disappearance & Role-Playing Segment 19:36 –  Josh Johnson “Three Wise Men” Theory 30:27 –  Eagles vs. Clarendons Fight 33:01 –  Defense-Led Identity & Injuries 34:07 –  Playoff Matchups & NFC Landscape 37:09 – Christmas Movie Metaphors for the Eagles46:44 – Midwest Culture, Accents & Christmas Geography Statistics & FactsThe Eagles are 10-5 and won the NFC East back-to-back for the first time since 2004 (20 years) Pro Bowl Eagles Named:Quinyon MitchellCooper DeJeanCam JurgensJalen CarterZack BraunJosh Johnson Appearances:2018 (Washington) – Division clinch2022 (49ers) – NFC Championship2025 (Washington) – Division clinch“Accuracy Disclaimer”: “10% of the facts on this podcast are true”Memorable Quotes“I’d rather go to the Pro Bowl than the Super Bowl.” - Computer Scott “I don’t think that’s how Christmas works.” - Panda Dan “We’re two-thirds through Die Hard right now.” - Dr. TAT “Every time we encounter a Josh Johnson, we get a gift.” - Dr. TAT"The Pro Bowl is kind of like who wants to have a vacation someplace and play some flag football" - Stat Boy  “This is my second Make-A-Wish this month.” - Computer Scott “There’s less great podcasting around the Cleveland Browns.” - Computer ScottFollow us on x.com & Instagram: @sethikepodCall/text line: 1-(234)-SET-HIKE (738-4453)Email us: [email protected]
