McKee Pop Herbstreit Hunters

In this episode of Set Hike, the crew unravels a bizarre week in Eagles football, from the Black Friday meltdown to the rising legend of Tanner McKee and the alleged Kirk Herbstreit curse haunting the schedule. What begins as game analysis quickly spirals into McGurk’s sweater lore, Pokémon scouting reports, Full House family therapy analogies, and an existential debate about whether the team needs a schematic overhaul—or just an emotional group hug. Equal parts football breakdown and comedic chaos, this episode captures the rollercoaster psyche of modern Eagles fans.Key Topics Discussed00:41 - Opening Introductions & New Guest01:50 - Eagles’ Black Friday Loss Breakdown03:08 - The Kirk Herbstreit Curse30:09 - The Tanner McKee Intrusive Thought Hour35:32 - Is This a Full House Episode or The Wire?42:10 - Spotify Wrapped, K-pop & Demon Hunters 54:55 -  Chargers Preview + Betting Lines 63:19 - Mailbag & PredictionsStatistics & FactsEagles Playoff Probabilities93% chance to make the playoffs90% chance to win the division8% chance to earn the NFC byeTanner McKee:Career Passer Rating 117.2 after two starts (Pro Bowl level threshold = 100; max = 158.3)Speaks PortugueseMember of LDS ChurchStanford backgroundMay or may not be the chosen oneAl Michaels vs. Kirk Herbstreit Emmy Count:Al Michaels (age 81) has 7 Emmys.Herbstreit (age 56) has 5 Emmys and is “closing in.” Used to fuel the “Herbstreit is an ageless demon” running joke.Memorable Quotes“Nobody cares about your Thanksgiving, Dan.” — Dr. TAT (brutal, unprovoked) “I'd say we kick him to the curb street.” — Stat Boy (on firing Kirk Herbstreit from existence) “What does this offense look like if I have the Mormon Missile at launch?” — Dr. TAT (the McKee temptation begins) “We need that Full House hug or we’re turning into The Wire.” — Dr. TAT (on the team’s emotional state) “StatBoy, you beautiful soul, if I could kiss you right now, I would.” — Dr. TAT (after Mekhi Becton update)“He’s the Rob Lowe of sports.” — Dan (quickly corrected with great offense) “If Sirianni turns his hat around, it’s on.” — McGurk (Ash Ketchum rules of football) “Are the Browns just a Dugtrio?” — McGurk (Pokémon scouting report) Follow us on x.com & Instagram: @sethikepodCall/text line: 1-(234)-SET-HIKE (738-4453)Email us: [email protected]
