The Philadelphia E-A-G-L-E-S are WORLD CHAMPIONS! Yes, at least Bears fans can spell Eagles correctly! The Chiefs offense could not get anything going even though Philly did not blitz the entire game. Cooper DeJean makes us white boys proud and gets himself his first career interception and it just so happened to be a birthday pick 6! We did unfortunately forget to mention the passing of Virginia McCaskey; may she rest in peace.

With a week hiatus we are back with the 17th edition of BALL BOYZ. This marks the first ever episode of BALL BOYZ where Jake and Jon are in the same room. This week we touch on how much Jake dislikes the fact that the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl. Jon and Jake shake hands on a $50 moneyline wager. The Bears continue to make what seems to be pretty solid moves in all their new hires. Will the Chiefs 3-peat or will Saquon Barkley have a fantastic Birthday and upset Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Enjoy another great episode of BALL BOYZ. [email protected]://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089458174172https://www.instagram.com/torgytalk/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnf_qVNJMZZULCggbgXQNEQhttps://www.tiktok.com/@torgytalkhttps://www.fatcandlecompany.com/https://www.findthegoodbrand.com 

Only fans star dies in epic three some, a blackhawk helicopter crashes into an airline, and on top of that there is 6 more weeks of winter. These are just some of the things that Jon touches on this week. Jack Mann Johnson sits in and spoon feeds Jon all the ammunition for this episode, and will continue to do so from here on out on future episodes of TorgyThoughts. We hope that we help jump start your week and thanks again for tuning into [email protected]://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089458174172https://www.instagram.com/torgytalk/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnf_qVNJMZZULCggbgXQNEQhttps://www.tiktok.com/@torgytalkhttps://www.fatcandlecompany.com/https://www.findthegoodbrand.com 

BIG AL joins us for her 3rd time on the show. We explain that this was not the first attempt at an episode featuring our very funny and talented friend Big Al. This was actually recorded on Jon's birthday, so there was no better guest that we could ask for. Jon, Jack Mann and AL all first met eachother almost 2 years ago at Village Spirit's open mic, and we all are in the same "comedy class". AL is a fast rising suburb comic crushing it all over the Chicago and Milwaukee area. If you want to go check out one of her shows go follow her on Instagram @bigalthecomedian! We hope you enjoy this very special birthday episode! [email protected]://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089458174172https://www.instagram.com/torgytalk/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnf_qVNJMZZULCggbgXQNEQhttps://www.tiktok.com/@torgytalkhttps://www.fatcandlecompany.com/https://www.findthegoodbrand.com 

Welcome back to the second ever TorgyThoughts. Happy birthday to me! This was recorded last night Sunday January 26th and uploaded especially for you beautiful loyal listeners. This week I touch on my current goals as a person this year and not just as a comic or podcaster. I randomly share one of my go to recipes that I have really been loving lately. I then discuss Elon Hitler and his odd way to wave. Intentional? Maybe, but I don't tell you if I think it was in the episode lol. Does anyone actually read this? If you read this do something to show me you read.

2 Bears games since the last episode and yes, 2 more losses. Caleb Williams continues to show glimpses of promise throughout his gameplay these past 2 weeks and through all of this horrendous team play he still manages to give some fans hope. The Bears fall to 4-12 after that loss to Seattle and we mosey our way to Green Bay for the final week of this bizarre season.
