Episode 67: Welcome to the Party
INTRO
We had guests in the building and partied like a mug. To kick off the show, we talked about how the new 2K game, Tim's son trolls him, and we gave out a few quick shoutouts. Before getting into the topic discussions, we discussed this past week's This Or That, who was the better Buck: Ray Allen or Giannis Antetokounmpo...our listeners overwhelming chose Giannis Antetokounmpo while we were split as a cast.
