Paul Calvisi isn't about being on time, but he's all about the temperature - he's on to Cincinnati. OK, first there is the Falcons and the last home game of the season. Chatting with Darren Urban and Dani Sureck, the trio talk the trajectory of Trey McBride and what he could be if he keeps playing like the best tight end in the league, the Falcons and their weapons, the solid play of the inexperienced offensive line, Getting Cultured, what we are watching the last three games (Nolen, CBs, OL), the injury-ravaged RBs, a Wise Guy that chases waterfalls, J.G.'s look to the future, Winning Behavior, and Darren's Twitter derailment.

Yes, Paul Calvisi is talking about the Purge movies again, but there is a reason - could this be the year where the NFL postseason purges all the annual favorites? Mayhaps. In any case, he joins Darren Urban and Dani Sureck to discuss that first drive against the Rams (and what came next), Michael Wilson's epic games continue, dealing with Puka, facing the talented Texans defense, the current Cardinals offensive identity, Paul's new favorite ep of Getting Cultured, Kyler gets shut down, an amazing Wise Guy, Houston as a road venue, some college football (non-)Winning Behavior, Cardinals on the Pro Bowl list, and a deserving Walter Payton MOY pick.

Did Paul Calvisi culture Dani Sureck about Landman? (The TV show. Not the Rams linebacker). Yes, yes he did. Meanwhile, Darren Urban joins the two to talk about about parallels with the Cardinals' close losses, Darius Robinson's postgame comments, players stepping up to take accountability, Josh Sweat's great season, remembering (kinda) Simeon Rice, going to the aging dogs on Getting Cultured, Trey McBride's excellence, Jacoby Brissett's late-night texts, snickering at Wise Guy, non-Winning Behavior from the college coach culture, Puka v Mike Wilson, and Carson Palmer's coaching acumen.

Not that Paul Calvisi begrudges anyone else who wants to enjoy a parade, but he'd rather not have to go to his local version somewhere hidden in the Valley he'd rather not say. Fret not. Darren Urban and Dani Sureck get his mind off of such things by talking about the Cardinals' upcoming trip to Tampa, the chance of seeing Baker Mayfield play, dealing with another close loss, learning how to win, the explosive emergence of Michael Wilson, Getting Cultured, the cornucopia of takeaways against Jacksonville, seeking reps down the stretch for Nolen, Will Johnson and other young players, a blowout Wise Guy, the health at running back, Winning Behavior, Fitz takes another Canton step, and talking about what might be found in the kitchen on Thanksgiving. (Phrasing!)

Paul Calvisi isn't sure he is ready for his script this week for the pod, but of a bigger concern is Darren Urban's energy. Dani Sureck tries to help them both wrangle their issues as the trio discuss the Cardinals needing to hone in on details, penalties hurting against the 49ers but not the whole problem, the fine line between the defense being put in bad spots and the unit still needing stops, the breakout game of Michael Wilson and what it means, Getting Cultured with Vine-loving Dani, the Jaguars and what they bring to town, a Wise Guy that makes Paul want to break stuff, BJ Ojulari's return, and Darren's issues with dogs in the mall.

Reality shows? Is this really what Paul Calvisi has brought us here to talk about? Well, kind of. But Paul brings in Darren Urban and Dani Sureck for a lot of other stuff too, like which way the Cardinals turn after a hard day in Seattle, the craziness of the 2025 NFL season, what happened up front on both sides of the ball against the Seahawks, a Getting Cultured with A-Rod, Trey McBride and all the nicknames he deserves, the emotions of the team, a wipeout Wise Guy, more injuries before the Niners visit, and a Winning Behavior that includes a fascinating way one father tried to get his son off video games.

The Cardinals showed that during the bye, they may have learned how to finish, on their way to an important win over the Cowboys. Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck serve up their thoughts on the victory, how the defense looked its best of the season, if they would ever bail on a movie before it is over, the huge debut of Walter Nolen III (and the ageless greatness of Calais Campbell), the crucial return of Garrett Williams, a frustrating (for Paul) Getting Cultured, the QB question and Jacoby Brissett earning the starting job for now, MHJ's jump, a tight Wise Guy, the big night from the rookie class, the impact of Emari Demercado, and AQ Shipley's Winning Behavior.

Paul Calvisi's timbre is struggling, and so too might be these attempts at dog names our titanic trio consider. But Paul, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck are back from the bye to discuss the 10-game final stretch of the season. That starts with a trip to Dallas and a return - we think - of Kyler Murray at quarterback, as well as the potential of Walter Nolen III maybe making a comeback, Getting Cultured with all y'all, Budda and JT and roles if Garrett Williams returns, the hellacious Cowboys offense and how to deal, BJ Ojulari finally getting his practice window opened, another Wise Guy, the NFL's loss of Cam Skattebo, the attrition of the league, Ravens coming back from 2-5 and what the Cardinals could still do at 2-5, and revisiting summer bold predictions (yikes.)
