On Black & Gold B.S., brought to you by Zuppardo’s Family Market and AGI Specialty Valves, lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team. This week, the gang laments how Dennis Allen has set the Saints’ brand value back 30 years; wonders if DA will get fired anyway, despite reports that he’s returning; and discuss how the team did actually look good while they dismembered the Bucs on the road.
Time codes:
2:05 – It’s been an awful year, but the Saints are somehow still alive, and that's cool!
13:00 – The Saints have lost the fanbase and the brand has taken a financial blow
17:54 – The NFL desperately needs a farm system
19:30 – Most likely outcome is: Pete Carmichael gets scapegoated and we bring in a new OC
22:02 – DA’s roster management is baffling
28:40 – Who could potentially replace Pete Carmichael?
32:18 – Despite the reports to the contrary, will the Saints still fire DA?
49:50 – The Saints did actually look great against the Bucs, but we have no faith they’ll play well two weeks in a row

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
