ATTN: In this episode, Bitch 1 refers to the Cowboys' OC as "Neville." This was not a mistake. We sometimes joke that Kellen Moore looks like Neville Longbottom from Harry Pottery. We do know his correct name.

We talk to football official Jenifer Calhoun to find out how disconnected from reality fans really are when it comes to their perception of officials and why it's dangerous for star quarterbacks, like Dak Prescott, to support and encourage violence against game officials.

We also discuss the Cowboys' need for discipline and accountability, why Micah Parsons sets the best example on the team, and why they won't "give CeeDee the f*cking ball" (which Troy Aikman agrees needs to happen). Then, Bitch 1 lets us know what she thinks after her first season following American football.

This episode was mostly us catching up and previewing what we'll be excited to talk about in the coming year. "Season 2" is not so much an indicator of time passed or episodes released. It's moreso in indicator of us reaching a new stage in our development of this podcast and associated content. We are very much looking forward to what's in store in the coming months.
