In the latest Halas Intrigue, Patrick Finley, Jason Lieser and Mark Potash debate whether Mitch Trubisky will play Sunday and how much he should run if he does.

Mark makes multiple attempts to ruin the episode – and nearly succeeds. Then, in the superhero-themed Pot-Cast, Patrick and Jason are flabbergasted when Mark realizes he’s been mispronouncing “Spider-Man” his whole life.
