Jonathan and Cody dive into a packed episode covering the NFL schedule release, the league's growing greed problem, Star Fox 64's controversial remake, Utah's misguided attempt to ban VPNs, and how kids are bypassing age verification with mustaches and hats. Jonathan makes the case that the NFL is becoming the world's biggest mall — spreading games across too many streaming services in a way that's going to bite them eventually. Plus: which team Jonathan actually wants the Chiefs to face in Week 1 (hint: it's a revenge banner-stealing fantasy), why remake culture exploits aging millennials, and a reminder that parents need to stop outsourcing their job to the government.
