Pass It Down

Ep. 37: Charissa Thompson & Jeff Darlington (Part 1: Super Bowl Party Edition)

Episode Summary

Since becoming a Power Trio 10 years ago in the leadup to Super Bowl XLV, Charissa (now a FOX host), Jeff (an ESPN reporter) and Mike have been inseparable--and insufferable--at big events across the country. Deprived of the chance to co-host their annual Super Bowl party, these three amigos do the next-best thing, treating Natalie, and all of you, to a slice of their twisted, semi-synchronized sensibilities, in all their revved-up splendor. Yes, it’s a lot. Just trust us.

Episode Notes

In the same manner in which they offended guests at the Indianapolis J.W. Marriott nine Super Bowl Saturdays ago (as detailed in the story that kicks off this episode), FOX’s Charissa, ESPN’s Jeff and NFL Network’s Mike air some of their dirty laundry--quite literally, in one of their cases. With Natalie sucked into the jetstream (not literally), they detail their various feuds, explain how much ended up in the concussion protocol before Super Bowl XLV and talk about the origin of the iconic Super Bowl party they co-host annually, pandemic-impacted-years excepted. They also speak of pink pussy hats and bone-colored pants. You heard me.
