For once, everything went right for VT — so right, in fact, that he gives Week 13 his highest score of the season. If the Chiefs, Eagles, and Rams all lose again next week? VT might officially become the happiest UNC in the world. Meanwhile, the Patriots win again, Terry and VT dive into every matchup from Week 13, and then roll straight into Week 14 predictions with all the usual chaos, optimism, and despair you’ve come to expect. Plus: fantasy football playoff advice. Hint: fade the Vikings and stream defenses playing against them like your season depends on it — because it probably does. It’s a loaded, delirious, miracle-filled episode. Let’s go.

This week on Gridiron Gurus, Terry and VT dive into a loaded show — and loaded plates — as we break down Week 12 and look ahead to Week 13. The big story? The LA Rams and Kansas City Chiefs continue to ruin VT’s Sundays. Are we actually heading toward a Rams vs. Chiefs Super Bowl? Because according to VT… that might literally finish him. Meanwhile, the Patriots somehow grab even more room in the AFC East, Terry’s season-long prediction that the Jaguars will win the AFC South keeps gaining steam, and we go game-by-game through all the upcoming action. To wrap things up, the guys dig into their favorite Thanksgiving meals and traditions, from elite side dishes to divisive desserts. Another week, another meltdown, another feast. Let’s get into it.

In this Thanksgiving episode, Jimmy and Richie gather around the metaphorical table to talk all things Turkey Day. From the food they love (and the food they pretend to love), to the legendary Thanksgiving football slate, to the weird, chaotic, and beloved family traditions that make the holiday special — nothing is off limits. It’s cozy, it’s chaotic, it’s questionable… in other words, it’s Talking Shit About Nothing.

This week, Jimmy and Richie talk to Jimmy's daughter, Author and Illustrator Michelle MacLean about her book "Abilities". Michelle MacLean is a 7th grade Special Educator in Sudbury Massachusetts. Her inspiration for her graphic novel came when her students with different disabilities started to make negative comments about their challenges with school. Not finding any characters for her students to connect with, she decided to create them. Michelle had her own challenges growing up in school as she was placed in a sub separate special education class for having dyslexia. Despite having dyslexia, she was always a creative cartoonist. Michelle went on to earn her masters at Framingham State University in Special Education. Her goal for this book is to help kids with different disabilities learn more about themselves and persevere through the challenges of school. The character in her book Daniella is a reflection of herself growing up in middle school.

In this week’s episode of Me and My Mom, the girls are back from BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas, and it was their first-ever solo mother–daughter trip! They recap the entire long weekend: the panels, the chaos, the unforgettable moments, and of course, the Bravolebrities they met along the way. Rylee shares the story of how she got within 5 feet of Andy Cohen, the duo gushes about their favorite run-ins, and they break down all the wild, hilarious, and heartwarming things that only happen at BravoCon. If you love Bravo, travel stories, or just hearing this duo in full fangirl mode, this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode of Gridiron Gurus, Terry and VT break down all the biggest storylines from Week 11 — the surprises, the letdowns, and the moments that had VT yelling at his TV (as usual). It’s also another week of the Rams absolutely ruining VT’s Sunday, despite the fact that he’s already penciled them in as his Super Bowl pick. The Rams continue to live rent-free in VT’s head, and Terry is more than happy to remind him. Then the guys look ahead to Week 12, offering bold predictions, upset alerts, and the matchups you need to keep an eye on. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for VT’s unhinged takes on large-market teams, this episode has you covered.

This week, Jimmy and Richie welcome Daniel Berlin, Babson College grad and the creative mind behind the bold new chocolate brand Dirty Gut. Daniel breaks down how he came up with the idea, the eye-catching name, and why the candy looks like it already has a bite taken out of it. The guys learn what probiotics actually are (and why they belong in your chocolate), talk entrepreneurship and branding, and even hear Daniel’s dream of pitching Dirty Gut on Shark Tank. Plus, there’s plenty of laughter as the crew talks about big goals — and what Dan plans to name his boat when he hits it big.
