Finally! Love chiclets. I know fore play and NLU dont get along, but we need a chiclets/NLU crossover.

Great episode, i listen/watched on spotify and it cut out mid-sentence in the 2 hour 9 minute mark in the Glendale/Scottsdale conversation. happen to anyone else?

same thing happened to me, i listened on overcast

Thanks for flagging. Good news is we’re getting a new file uploaded. Bad news is there’s maybe a minute after the cutoff, so you’re not missing much. Or maybe that’s good news too?

Excited you guys had Whitney on. Any chance of the strapped boys getting on a sandbagger?

Thatd be sick.

Honestly, I don’t think the Chiclets guys get along with the Fore Play guys either

No plans on the schedule but certainly something we’d try to do if invited!

Riggs is so cool man. Just ask him I’m sure he’ll tell you.

Genuinely funny that Whitney is a NLU/Trap Daw superfan while not giving a crap (if not actively loathing) his employer’s in-house golf crew.

Funnier the chiclets pod puts out better golf content than their in house golf crew, and it’s not even close

re: Chipotle

The E. coli took down the BC basketball team (groomsman was a manager). Which is hilarious because it was this team:

Also loved the Celtic-Hearts shoutout. Next year is TC’s guy Paraag Marathe’s first full year with his hands on Rangers. Gotta think they turn it around.

It’s still very funny to me (and surprising tbh) that Nancy got run from Celtic so fast

Madness all year in Scotland: Old Form both on coaching carousels, Hearts top of the table all season, pitch invasion during Old Firm quarterfinals on the same day Glasgow Central explodes, VAR conspiracy in Celtic-Motherwell, and Rangers were bought by the 49ers even though Jed York is like the most Catholic dude ever.

@Tron There was no backstory regarding the dog name selection during the pod, so I have to ask. Did I name your dog?
