The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone. 

We discussed Chaos Night and the Draft itself in the last episode. Today, we recap a few highlights for us.

Draft Night is a culmination of a lifetime’s worth of work, and the start of the rest of it. 

Congrats to the 2026 NFL Rookie Class!

SLICES: The Changes to This Feed

Join hosts Scott and ARealGirl Herself as they pull back the curtain on one of the most theatrical nights in television: the NFL Draft. If you’ve ever felt like the draft was a "members-only" club where you didn't know the password, this episode is for you. We’re stripping away the jargon to explain the fundamental mechanics of how teams actually select players and why a bunch of people in suits making phone calls is unexpectedly gripping.

Is it worth watching live? Absolutely. We discuss why the draft is essentially the world’s highest-stakes reality show. You don’t need to know a single stat to appreciate the pure human drama of life-changing moments, heart-wrenching slides, and the strategic "chess match" playing out in real-time. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just here for the outfits and the tension, we’ll give you the confidence to enjoy every minute of the spectacle.

SLICES: How Does the NFL Draft Actually Work?

The term "Chaos Night" isn't just hyperbole—it’s the moment months of mock drafts collide with the cold, unpredictable reality of NFL war rooms. With Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza locked in at No. 1, the calm ends the second his name is called. Because there is only one "sure-thing" QB this year, the desperation in Pittsburgh is reaching a boiling point.

Whether you've been following every trade or you're just joining us for the ride, Scott and ARealGirl Herself are here to guide you through the madness. They’ll pull back the curtain on how a single phone call can turn the entire league upside down, breaking down the "why" behind the sudden trades and shocking picks in a way that makes sense—even if you don't know a blitz from a lateral.

Expect the unexpected as they explain how "sure things" start to slide and why certain teams are suddenly willing to bet it all on a single moment. It’s about more than just stats; it’s about the drama and the life-changing shifts that happen when the clock starts ticking. Tune in to see how the future of the league is reshaped in real-time, and let us handle the heavy lifting of the X's and O's.

SLICES:  Detroit Pistons' Storybook Turnaround

Every year, before the actual draft, sports pundits and fans engage in “mock drafts,” where they envision where 260-ish players might land on any of the NFL’s 32 teams. The American Football tradition is fun—and a little bit weird.

Okay… It’s a lot weird.

DEEP CUTS Episode 90: A SLICE of an NFL Mullet on Any Given Sunday in the First Four!

In the black of a rainy night, the Stonehewer and an army of hungry day diggers attack Stonehold, retaliating against Lord Hilantra’s troops. 

He breached the walls, commanded the night-stalking diggers to kill everyone inside save for one man in particular—Warden Bismarten, who ordered the Stonehewer’s family murdered.

Dovokar and two other soldiers are all who remain to fight with Bismarten in this final battle. Will Dovokar fight or retreat?

DEEP CUTS Episode 89: A Slice of Heated Rivalry!

Lord Hilentra is expanding his territory into the foothills of the Broken Spine mountains. His garrison at the new village of Stonehold has laid waste to villages populated by Tandrites, a culture that has mined these foothills for generations.

Hilentra relies on Bismarten, the Warden of Stonehold, to lead his troops against these small villages. One of Bismarten’s men, Dovokar, was unable to follow orders to slaughter villagers at Granite Town. Nicknamed “Backstep” because he retreats from battle, Dovokar now finds himself on the receiving end of a slaughter.

Saluvaunt, a miner mortally wounded by Bismarten’s men, survived long enough for three mountain witches to find him among the dead. They offered him vengeance against Hilentra and his brutal warden, Bismarten. Dying, with nothing left to lose, Saluvaunt accepted.

The witches initiated a dark ritual—one meant to turn a grieving man into something far worse.

DEEP CUTS Episode 87: How Much Backstory Do Authors Need?

Lord Hilentra’s frontier garrison at Stonehold had already earned its reputation.  But the peaceful Tandrites would not just roll over and die. A dark figure known as the Stonehewer has fought back, attacking Cayoncrest, one of Hilentra’s new settlements, slaughtering most of its population. 

The Stonehewer attacked, climbing over the wall and opening the gate. Dozens of day diggers rushed in, attacking soldiers and civilians alike.

Now, in Part II, we begin to learn who the Stonehewer is and how he came across his terrible powers.

DEEP CUTS Episode 86: How Scott Chooses Locations

In a dark place on a medieval frontier,  the powers that be are displacing those who have lived there for centuries. Brutal expansion that fuels an inevitable resistance. 

Payback delivered in the cold and wet, so far from help it might as well be an island surrounded by an impassible ocean.

Because justice is variable, depending on when you live, how you live, and how others may or may not judge you.
