Eventually, they also cover Wes Phillips' departure from the coaching staff before JP serves as judge in a heated case between Mitch and Pete. Did Pete un-invite Mitch from his housewarming party? That's what they try to find out. Lastly, the hosts look ahead to their Super Bowl trip, which includes Pete being sad about not going, JP explaining how to watch the podcast live from Atlanta and how you listeners can put yourself in the running for a sweet prize. If you like podcasts where there's a debate about "irregardless" being a word and the Emo Pete Sympathy Tour gets cancelled, then this is the episode for you.
