Summary

Rich and the guys debate if we’ll see Joe Burrow’s return to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12 after missing much of the season with a turf toe injury, and in ‘Higher Register’ share their less-than-confident takes on the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, and Minnesota Vikings QB JJ McCarthy. ‘Breaking Bad’ creator Vince Gilligan joins Rich in-studio where he reveals the origin story behind his new ‘Pluribus’ sci-fi series on Apple TV and if we could see some ‘Breaking Bad’ or ‘Better Call Saul’ character cameos in the Albuquerque-based show, and imagines how his unforgettable BB/BCS characters’ lives would have unfolded after those series’ timelines ended on TV.
