Episode Notes

The NFL world just got turned upside down: Micah Parsons is a Green Bay Packer. Stephie Smalls opens today’s show breaking down the blockbuster trade that sent shockwaves through the league — Parsons traded to the Packers in exchange for Kenny Clark and multiple first-round picks. What does it mean for Green Bay’s defense, their futures odds, and their NFC North title chances in 2025?

To help unpack it all, Stephie welcomes Nate Craig — nationally touring stand-up comedian, actor (Netflix’s Maniac), and lifelong Packers superfan. Nate shares his unfiltered fan perspective on Parsons’ unblockable dominance, Jordan Love’s development, key fantasy names to target like Josh Jacobs and Tucker Kraft, and why this roster might be one of the most balanced in the NFC.

Next up, Stephie is joined by Pete Nova, fantasy football analyst and D/ST specialist. Pete dives deep into his defensive rankings for the 2025 season, highlighting why streaming defenses is the sharp strategy, which under-the-radar units can win you weeks, and his sleeper Week 1 defense you should already have on your radar.

FFinally, Producer Ryan jumps on to wrap things up, reacting to the Packers buzz, weighing in on fantasy questions, and talking with Stephie about her viral tweet that landed in Page Six headlines — and what it’s like to suddenly have everyone you’ve ever met blowing up your phone.
