🏀 Random Buzzer-Beater Banter: Is the NBA ready for an OKC vs. Indiana Finals? Probably not. But we are. Plus, Halliburton’s glow-up, cheesesteak debates, and why the Midwest should really be called the Mideast.
🎬 Deep Dive Documentary Talk: Rob drops gems from HBO’s new Paul Reubens (aka Pee-Wee Herman) documentary—touching on identity, fame, and the complicated layers of being a cultural icon.
🔥 Hot Takes & Sidebar Shenanigans: From state border conspiracies and sting operations disguised as Redskins ticket giveaways, to whether cheesesteaks should ever require a fork—no topic is too random for the crew.
🍺 What We Drinking?
Rob cracks open "November Yankee Charlie," an easy-drinking 4.7% American lager from JAKL Beer Works, brewed in honor of a Vietnam vet. Meanwhile, Lou sips on a different kind of brew—coffee with extra French vanilla. No judgment.
