An upbeat episode? We’re as surprised as she is.

It was a pretty good few days in Philadelphia sports as Bryce Harper was voted the National League’s Most Valuable Player on Thursday, the Union had a thrilling playoff win thanks to a golazo from Jakob Glesnes on Saturday, and the Eagles manhandled the Saints on Sunday.

The rundown:

• Joe puts the positive tone to the test right out of the gate with a taste test of Cardinal Spirits’ Maui Mule cocktail (1:48)

• The guys talk about Sunday’s Eagles win (4:54), including a discussion of Jalen Hurts’ “The Guy”ness, Miles Sanders’ case of the oopsies, and Darius Slay doing just that to opposing offenses

• Joe comes right out and says it: the Eagles are making the playoffs (20:03). The guys then come to another, possibly more shocking, conclusion as well.

• The Union played a bit of an ugly match on Saturday that was won by one of the most beautiful goals you’ll ever see; Joe was there, and was more than happy to talk about it for 15 minutes without taking a breath (25:16)

• Finally, it’s John’s turn to gush as the guys discuss Bryce Harper’s MVP award and some of the ballots submitted by baseball’s writers (40:24)
