?In the Nest? took viewers inside Jolene Jolene, Atlanta?s first women?s sports bar founded by Chelsea Fishman.

Fishman says the goal is to create a welcoming space that celebrates women?s sports while uniting all sports fans.

Falcons players opened up about their guilty pleasures in this week?s segment, from late-night ice cream and sour gummies to cr?me br?l?e, pizza, and marathon Xbox sessions. Some confessed they overindulge to the point of regret, while others said a sweet treat or gaming is their way to unwind.
