Dave returns triumphantly to America, Mike is behind a dumpster on an island near Seattle, and most importantly, we're joined by Hilary Plum, who drops TEN TONS OF KNOWLEDGE BOMBS. We cover literally every issue that matters: the physical difficulties of wiffle ball, the approximate length of a soccer match, the ethics of competing against your friend's mom, whether or not sports riots are fun, Kelsey Plum, Steph Curry's golf game, Kevin Durant's wardrobe, and Michael Jackson. We also GET SERIOUS about playground bullies, flops of many varieties, Ted Bundy, faking your own death, cartwheeling goalies, and the awfulness of the NFL's treatment of Colin Kaepernick. Somewhere in there Mikal debuts a new segment called NEW SPORTS WORD.
