Hosts Alex Kirshner, Lindsay Gibbs, and Ben Lindbergh recap NFL conference championship weekend, where the Patriots braved a blizzard better than the Broncos, and Sam Darnold proved that resurrected quarterbacks really can win it all.

Later, they get into Trinity Rodman’s three-year NWSL deal that keeps her in D.C., but has caught the ire of the players’ union.

The panel wraps with a breakdown of the Mets' busy offseason and whether they can actually come out on top in 2026.

On the bonus episode, available exclusively for Slate Plus members, the panel discusses Alex Honnold's white-knuckle climb of the Taipei 101 tower live on Netflix.

NFL (4:16): Resurrection Bowl

On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen want you to know that you’re still a great parent, even if you don’t sit by your kids’ bedside to gently wake them up. It’s okay! The ‘Rents sit down and debunk some of those pretty parenting tips you see all the time on Instagram. You know the ones. They have a really aesthetic, soothing background, and then say something wild like “Meaningfully listen to everything your kid says.” We can try to gentle it up all the time BUT sometimes we just don’t care what the kids are saying! Come for the debunking, stay for a relatable venting session.
Then, they answer a listener question: Is it okay for a parent’s daughter, who is very interested in learning about other cultures, to have a Sari/Saree? They want to nurture the interest but is it culturally appropriate?
