But before we get to the music we jump on a big swing and discuss the best fictional basketball players of all time. Then we chat about glazing mugs at family camp, hidden tracks on the Miseducation of Lauren Hill, and snoring treatments. We also became the best podcast about politics in 2024 with a stump speech asking Lunds and Byerlys to bring back regular donuts. Click here to sign the Change.org petition and support the cause!
