What is the opening banter and who is “Foxy” in the show?

Pat McAfee 0:00
Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the DraftKings Thunderdome. On this football kickoff Thursday, September 24th, 2026, this sports program begins now. Football! Not bad, Bruce. Not bad. Bruce Brown on the ones and twos in the back. We appreciate you stepping up. Evan Fox potentially celebrating the hell out of life right now. And we send nothing but positive love and well wishes to Foxy and his beautiful family. And Bruce, good luck back there on the ones and twos. Way to go,

Bruce. Way to go, Bruce. Thank you. It's a lot of buttons.
Pat McAfee 0:38
Yeah. So like in the TV production world, I think what you're going to realize over the next 20 to 30 years, probably as it all unfolds, there will be a Foxy position. OK, which is what Foxy does, because from what we have learned through doing this entire live show situation is that Foxy actually on a daily basis does everything. I don't know, maybe nine people's jobs in some of these production rooms and everything for other sports media. And Foxy just kind of does it all, you know, because since the beginning of it, he starts with this and then we say, hey, you could do this as well, right? Hey, we need you to do this. Can you do this? He offers up. I can also do this. So Foxy is one of the most pivotal people, I would say.

in my life and in all of our lives. And whatever he gets to miss because of incredible things happening, you certainly wonder who the hell we're going to put into that spot. And the answer was Bruce Brown. Bruce Brown. Bruce Brown's the guy. Bruce, way to go, Bruce. Let's go. First guy trying the foxy position that isn't foxy. I think you're going to do great. Shout out to Mitt sliding into the Bruce position, which is certainly a roll of the dice for all of us. But we got faith in Mitt as well. It's an incredible Thursday as week three of the NFL season kicks off tonight in a game that I think has us all going. I don't know. I don't know what the hell to expect. The Falcons, with Michael Penix Jr. as their quarterback, will be taking on Jordan Love and the Packers.
Pat McAfee 2:03
Packers started out as 7.5-point favorites whenever Cooper Cush was potentially going to be the quarterback, who some have said maybe played the worst NFL football in the history of football from the quarterback position over the last two weeks. I think that's rude. There's been a lot of bad quarterback play. He was certainly at the top of the list, though, with all the talent that they have on that team and how bad they certainly look. Now the Packers are banged up across the board up front, certainly. Will they be able to protect Jordan Love? Will they be able to get a win at home over a desperate Atlanta Falcons team who might have the best player in football on their roster in Bajon Robinson? So tonight's a big who the hell knows what's going to happen.
Pat McAfee 2:37
We will certainly be making our picks, and we can't wait for another fantastic weekend of football to kick off. The Talks at Table is here at Boston Corner and at Ty Schmidt. Con Man, how do you think Bruce is going to do, and how do you feel about this Thursday night football
Ty Schmidt 2:49
game? I got faith in Bruce. I will say if it was just Bruce sliding in without knowing, that'd be one thing, especially what you kind of broke down with how many positions and kind of roles Foxy plays back there. But he's been putting in his work. He's been doing his practice. He knows what he's doing now. But I don't know about tonight. I mean, driving in here, I took 15 minutes to think about the Falcons, 15 minutes to think about the Packers. I've probably been on the Falcons 15 times, and I've been on the Packers 15 times throughout the entire morning. It's going to be an exciting one. It's one of those ones where you don't know. Home opener for Green Bay will be cool, and it's just kind of a toss-up.
Ty Schmidt 3:21
I'm going to probably wait until right before kickoff to actually place a bet and make a pick, but we'll get there at some point to see who we
Pat McAfee 3:27
like. There's a guy sitting next to you, Con Man, who I think is certainly a little bit anxious for how this evening is going to go.
