This episode of MoodSwings opens with Liv reacting to Ja’Marr Chase’s apology that manages to address everyone except the one person he actually spit on — Jalen Ramsey. She digs into Dak Prescott’s outstanding season compared to Jalen Hurts, the Cowboys’ wasted potential, and why Denver’s elite defense gives the Broncos a real shot at the Super Bowl. Liv also gives Shedeur Sanders his due after becoming the first Browns QB since 1999 to win in his debut. The conversation shifts to the chaos of the NFC, the Rams’ resurgence, and whether the Eagles’ offense has completely stalled out.

She then brings on Nuggets beat reporter Gianna Girardi to discuss how Denver navigates injuries to Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun, and why the Nuggets’ depth makes this season different from years past. They break down Nikola Jokić’s postgame critique after the Kings loss and explain why his leadership style is essential for Denver’s ceiling. The two zoom out to evaluate the entire Western Conference — from OKC’s dominance to LeBron’s aging body and what that means for the Lakers’ ceiling.

Finally, Liv addresses the viral moment between Ja Morant and Klay Thompson, calling out the lack of accountability and maturity surrounding Ja’s recent behavior. The episode ends with a positive twist: Liv shares her genuine, heartfelt interaction with Russell Westbrook after the Clippers’ win in Denver and why his fourth-quarter takeover was a reminder of who he’s always been as a competitor.
