Welcome to 4th Down and Under! This week's episode features a passionate – and completely unexpected – deep dive into NFL helmet design philosophy, where we learn that a man simply wants to be "draped in satin" and that matte finishes with metallic accents are "just a good way to live." We also tackle the great uniform debate, with the Texans' bold red horns and Vikings' winter whites stealing the show, while comparing how different cities handle their winter preparations (spoiler alert: Texas power lines with icicles are basically Game of Thrones-level dangerous).

The Friday energy reaches new heights as we achieve peak comfort with both Clarke Bros finally embracing the robe life. Jarrad rocks his signature wool while Ash debuts in what can only be described as a "size-ambiguous, origin-unknown" waffle-weave number(we're not asking questions). Between our Mom's morning elixir recipes that might rival Aaron Rodgers' cayenne concoctions and her unfiltered feedback, including her mid-podcast napping schedule, we're keeping it real with our day-ones. Plus, we're unveiling a fresh segment that's got us more excited than Jerry Jones talking about stadium architecture.

While reflecting on our extended coverage of seventh-round picks (lesson learned for next year!), we dive into how NFL teams handle international travel - from private chefs and familiar food to the impact of sleeping in strange beds and dealing with jet lag.
