What quirky topic do the hosts start the episode with before getting to football?
Donnie, I've always thought the figure skating was somewhat rigged in the Olympics. Doesn't it seem very subjective? Yeah, you would think so. I mean, unless somebody truly screws up. Like, how are they judging it? Maybe I'm just ignorant to it. That's more likely the truth. I I don't know how it works. It it doesn't there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. Did you see the doc or the movie on uh Tanya Harding?
No.
It came out a few years back. I t phenomenal. I forget the actress. I think she's the same one. Is she the same one who plays Barbie in the Barbie movie, Limits? Isn't that Margot Robbie? Margot
Robbie plays I Tanya, does she?
I don't know. I'm asking you. I I I don't know. Yes, Margot Robbie. Well did that seem like an innocent question? Limits is really on edge with me all week. Oh gee. It was just a question. Neither did I.
Which movie and actress do they debate and why does it matter for the show?
Maybe it wasn't her. She plays Tanya Harding. She does? Yeah. Well there you go. She was unbelievable in that movie, and it's a great movie, and I strongly recommend it. Donnie, where are you watching the Super Bowl? With Sarah, uh and you said some other friends? Yep. And w give me lay out the scene here. What what are we looking at? A smorgus board of of different things uh plus beer. What what do we have here? Yeah,
I mean I think I think we're working with like your your classics like pizza wings. Um Her friend makes like great chocolate chip cookies, so that's probably on the on the dock at the Is
Sarah making those c combination Oreo chocolate chip cookies? No,
she's not making those, but those are those are phenomenal. Those are some of my favorites.
Legendary.
Um The uh you know, like the little weenies like pigs in a blanket.
Yeah.
Those are always a good Super Bowl snack.
A big treat for everybody.
Buffalo chicken dip I'm sure will be
Why don't they require condiments, Donnie? Ketchup mustard. Why do the pigs in the blanket avoid that fate? They're just good on their own, but aren't they just miniature hot dogs?
Yeah, they're just wrapped in that croissant roll. So the croissant, the
taste of the croissant mitigates the need for ketchup, mustard, relish, onions. Or is it too small and would it be unwieldy to put all those things on? I think that's second part. I've never tried it. Maybe maybe you could try dipping it, Joe. Maybe. Maybe if you want to maybe I'll try that this year.
How do the hosts set the scene for their Super Bowl LX watch party?
I think you just came up with an idea. Who's gonna win the game and what's the score gonna be? Limits?
Wrong. So I've been going back and forth on this and I I've always thought about my winner. It was is the winner going to either cover or not? And I am riding with my guy that I've been riding with for a long time. And then you're gonna say, no, you didn't want the Steelers to sign him because you didn't think he was gonna be a good fit in this offense and you wanted Aaron Rodgers.
Correct. You've been riding with him a long time except when he was gonna come to the Steelers.
What snacks and game‑day foods do they recommend for the Super Bowl?
There it is. Because I didn't think he was going to be a fit in Arthur Smith's scheme and that they would not utilize him well enough. I know you didn't, Limitts. Sammy Darnold will win the Super Bowl for the Seattle Seahawks, to the delight of your friend Limitz, who has been the most vocal Sam Darnold supporter outside of Colin Cowherd, which I keep hearing about. But they will not cover. It will be a three point win for the Seattle Seahawks. Twenty six, twenty three.
Donnie, may I go next and leave it to Donnie Football since the name of the show is in honor of you today? You can have last crack here. By the way, social media's biggest loser brought to you by Awaken one eighty weight loss. Visit them at awaken one eighty weight loss dot com. Who is it today, limits? Mm Good question, huh? That's a really good question. How about the Pires? Probably the Browns. Yeah, the Browns. Jim Schwartz saying goodbye. Right. Exactly. Jim Schwartz resigns in anger today. In case you're wondering about the Steelers, the Browns apparently retain his rights so they would have to give him uh permission to go somewhere else, people thinking he's gonna take a year off.
