*Today's cast: Dan, Amin, Andrew Hawkins, Chris, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony. *After last night's fun on Thursday Night Football full of wacky football in the snow, Dan inexplicably wanted to begin the Shadow Show with RFK Jr. sound. Then, Jameis Winston delivered some incredibly funny and memorable sound last night both before and after the Browns win, but after we listen to a montage, Dan notices a look on Jeremy's face from the corner of the room. Are we allowed to discuss Jameis without having conversations about his past? What if it's a celebration of his personality? Where do we draw the line on this show in particular? Plus, Hawk declares himself the "Myles Garrett of movement" as we discuss Garrett's dominance, and Jason Kelce's fame continues to escalate. We'll hear video from TMZ of a fan going after Kelce whenever the video team gets it together, but in the meantime, Dan, Amin, and Hawk discuss how fame can be suffocating and how Kelce will potentially need to change in order to handle it.
