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 basks in the Saints’ 2-0 start, while also luxuriating in Sean Payton’s 0-2 start in Denver.  Plus: what’s up with Dennis Allen’s facial hair? Did he shave it?  Did it grow back?  Do you really care?  Of course you do, damnit.

Time codes:

1:10 – Instant (drunk?) reactions to the Saints’ victory over the Panthers
