    The phones were on fire tonight as callers weighed in on Jeff Hafley officially becoming the Miami Dolphins head coach, leaving the Packers scrambling in their defensive coordinator search. The conversation quickly turned into an all-out debate about Matt LaFleur's future, with passionate defenders demanding critics name a single replacement who'd do better. The show covered the college football national championship implications for the draft, with a deep dive into Indiana cornerback D'Angelo Pons and his elite coverage performance. Discussion also touched on the Bears' brutal cap situation compared to Green Bay's flexibility, why Al Harris surprisingly hasn't received any DC interview requests, and the dangerous "lore" fans create about this team that doesn't match reality. Then Chris from Alabama delivered what might be the greatest caller rant in show history—a profanity-laced, no-holds-barred defense of LaFleur that turned into an impromptu rap anthem. His message was simple: if you want the coach gone, name your replacement or shut up. This episode captures everything that makes After Dark different—raw emotion, real talk, and fans who aren't afraid to call out the fanbase itself. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

    Sai Hughley: “Villain”, Vision, & Staying Ready | Pod Friends This week's Pod Friends guest is Sai Hughley (@BeyonSai_ on Instagram), one of the most dynamic and debated personalities from Survivor 48. Joining Matt Scott (@MattScottGW), Sai opens up about navigating life in the public eye, being labeled a “villain,” and what it really means to own your story when the internet has already decided who you are. Sai takes us through her journey from journalism and digital content creation to entertainment marketing with NBC, sharing how her career behind the scenes prepared her for the spotlight in front of the camera. She talks about the power of vision boarding and scrapbooking, manifesting big dreams, staying ready for opportunities, and learning to play big even when others try to shrink you. The conversation also dives deep into representation and inspiration, as Sai reflects on the Black women who have shaped her perspective, the importance of tenacity, and the mindset it takes to go after the life you want. Plus, Matt and Sai have some fun breaking down dream picks for the Survivor 50 cast and debating which reality TV players would be perfect for The Traitors. If you've ever been misunderstood, underestimated, or turned into a character instead of a person, Sai's story is a powerful reminder that perception doesn't define you — your confidence does.

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us!No one wants to be the villain.But what if being seen as the bad guy is actually a sign that you are growing?In this Paige's Perspective episode, Paige reframes the idea of the villain era and explains why setting boundaries, taking care of yourself, and challenging old patterns can feel threatening to people who were comfortable with the old version of you.This episode is for anyone who feels broken, exhausted, unsure, or like they do not recognize themselves anymore. Paige shares her own experience of being challenged before she was ready, how boundaries changed her life, and why thriving is not about getting the outcome you want. It is about building a mindset that can carry you through any outcome.You will hear why growth often feels uncomfortable, why being challenged can sting, and why learning from people who have done hard things can expand what you believe is possible for yourself.If you feel stuck in survival mode, pushing back against change, or questioning your strength, this episode is an invitation to look a little deeper.Paige is willing to be the villain if it helps you remember what you are capable of.

    Craig Carton and Chris “C-Mac” McMonigle kick things off with food talk before diving into a spirited debate about the Dodgers' spending, whether buying championships still counts, and what truly defines a sports dynasty. The guys discuss why villains are good for sports, compare past MLB dynasties, and explain why everyone loves to hate dominant teams. As only the Carton Show can, the segment takes hilarious detours into Seattle fans, tridents, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and why Carton proudly avoids all of it.

    Try as they might - and they're giving it all they've got - the legacy media and American left want desperately to make you pay more attention to their made up tales of woe regarding federal law enforcement defending themselves from protestors and criminals than the billions of tax dollars being stolen from under our noses. These thieves are trying to distract from the real story and Stigall's having none of it. US Senator Marsha Blackburn on her introduction of the Fraud Accountability Act and the Federal Reserve cost overruns. And are we close to some kind of military action with Iran? President Trump seems to have calmed it down for now, but airspace over the country is still clear and Iran's leadership is anything but.

Enjoy and we'll return with a new episode next week.For decades, gamers have joked that the real gaming villain isn't Ganon, Bowser, or The Illusive Man…it's Electronic Arts. The studio-shuttering, loot-box-pioneering, “surprise mechanics”-defending corporate monolith that somehow became the symbol of everything broken in modern gaming. How did that reputation happen? Does EA actually deserve the crown?In this episode of Innside Stories, Joce takes a deep dive into the rise (and repeated falls) of EA, from its idealistic origins championing “Electronic Artists,” to the studio graveyard it left behind, to the crunch culture exposed by the EA Spouse letter, to the Maxis and Spore disasters, all the way to their $55 billion Saudi-led buyout in 2025. If you've ever wondered how EA became gaming's favourite villain, or whether they ever truly were, this one's for you!Each month, we alternate posting a Host Special, focusing on personal experiences, our favourite games, or just stories that peaked our interest.

    For someone who's done a lot of horror movies, Rebecca Hall admits she's a bit squeamish. That, however, didn't stop her from taking on a role in the newest body horror series, The Beauty, which is set to premiere January 21st on FX.Rebecca first learned of the series when she grabbed breakfast at Buvette in the West Village with Ryan Murphy (who created the show Matthew Hodgson) who enticed her with three things: a fun premise (an STD that makes you so hot that you explode, sign Rebecca up!), great clothes (The Row to be specific, and who could say no to that?) plus a list of fabulous filming locations: Rome, Paris, and Venice all making the list.“He [Ryan] was very open to me. One of the joys for me of this job was that not many people asked me to just be myself for a character.” Rebecca told Senior Features Editor Marley Marius and Fashion Writer Hannah Jackson on Wednesday afternoon. This openness and collaborative spirit Ryan gives to his actors is what enticed Rebecca about working with him again on his series Monster, where she will play Lizzie Borden in which she called “entering her villain era” which was a lot of fun for her.When Rebecca is not on the job, she finds great joy in painting (many of her works have been either sold or exhibited), watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (for which her husband is getting around to understanding), and dressing up in “crazy outfits” in her day-to-day quiet upstate life.Earlier in the episode, Chioma fills Chloe in about the behind-the-scenes of the new fabulous British Vogue cover with Jessie Buckley. They also chat what they are looking forward to about awards season and give a farewell to Will Welch who announced he is departing from GQ earlier this week.
