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.)

The Cardinals hit the bye and Paul Calvisi is offering up his support services to Darren Urban and Dani Sureck. As they process their emotions of the first seven weeks, the trio chat about vibes in the locker room, the finish against the Packers and how it still isn't enough, the search for closers on the roster, what changes Jonathan Gannon and the coaches can implement at the break, Getting Cultured with thievery, Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett, the Micah Parsons experience, Zay Jones, and Mike Wilson pop,  a Cardinals hoops-themed Wise Guy, the excellence of Trey McBride, the surging NFC West, Winning Behavior, and Dani's sad shoe story.

The weather is rough, but that just makes Paul Calvisi think about how the Cardinals need their own flurry of football as the Packers come to town. That'd be a nice way to snap a four-game skid by a total of nine points. Paul discusses such things with Darren Urban and Dani Sureck, as well as how an NFL season is more than one season, the Cardinals' battle to find a way to finish, the power rankings of what would be needed if there was a magic wand fix, the non-MHJ receivers stepping up, Dani culturing the guys, how the defense finds a way to make one crucial stop, when Kyler returns, getting back to normal on The Wise Guy, the power of Big Play Trey, Winning Behavior, and the historical importance of graveyards. Really.

Paul Calvisi is asking WTF - what the football - for all the odd things happening around the sport, college and NFL. That includes the Cardinals' hard-to-describe loss to the Titans. PC is joined by Darren Urban and Dani Sureck to discuss the cornucopia of events that led to the result, the idea of finishing but also not letting it be that close, some pigskin-related Getting Cultured, Will Hernandez's successful return, the idea of letting K1 cook and the resurgence of the newest Indiana Jones, that Demercado drop, a memorable edition of The Wise Guy, Will Johnson comes back, Winning Behavior, Flacco to the Bengals, and Dani's upcoming reunion with the Colts' mascot.

As the Cardinals come back to work following two harsh back-to-back losses, "radio guy" Paul Calvisi engages Darren Urban and Dani Sureck about how the Cardinals like making every single minute of every single game count. They also chat about how with the offense "(blank) is loading," more use of 11 personnel and what - if anything - that means, correctable vs concerning, marriage talk in Getting Cultured, the MHJ roller coaster, a thrilling edition of The Wise Guy, the Cardinals' new training facility for 2028, adapting during the minibye, more Trey McBride and the running back situation, Bilal Nichols in the DL mix, Winning Behavior (or lack thereof), and Paul's unfortunate use of ChatGPT.

Paul Calvisi was feeling nostalgic about his parents' musical loves after watching the Cardinals' hard Sunday in San Francisco, which included the season-ending injury to James Conner. Paul discusses that hard loss with Darren Urban and Dani Sureck on this short-week, early edition of the podcast, along with Trey Benson becoming RB1, the notion of leaning harder into Trey McBride, the offensive line production and the development of Josh Fryar, the struggles of Marvin Harrison Jr. and the drops that were had by multiple players, a return to normalcy with Wise Guy, Mack Wilson channeling his inner Fred Warner, the Seahawks coming for "Thursday Night Football" (ARRIVE EARLY), Calais Campbell playing like he's 29 not 39, and Dani's unique story from this week's picks.

The Cardinals are 2-0, and while there might be things to talk about getting better, how does that not leave Paul Calvisi, Darren Urban and Dani Sureck stoked for what's to come? Regardless, the trio discuss how the Cardinals can find a way to finish strong, a defense that played well most of the game despite the final score, the cornerbacks injuries and how Jonathan Gannon and Nick Rallis can solve what issues come from that, Josh Sweat's home debut, the storybook return of Calais Campbell, a touching segment of Getting Cultured, the expectations for MHJ, upgrading run production, a stunning episode of The Wise Guy, the NFC West and what the 49ers have with Mac Jones, Winning Behavior and the rising temperatures of San Jose.
