005 | Mark Kelly Grounds #Tesla 🚗

Send us a text

Mark Kelly trades in his Tesla for a tank and calls Elon Musk an “a**hole” on live TV. Meanwhile, LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith reignite a 21-year ego feud, and we break down one of the weirdest music videos in NYPD history, and tap into our inner-nostradamus with some free agency predictions that came true post-taping.

Also in this (unusually compressed) episode:

• IN MEMORIAM – one that actually matters

• Devin Booker isn’t leaving Phoenix. Enough.

• Errors & Omissions: stuff we got wrong (or didn’t mean to lie about)

Raw commentary, absurd news, and just enough facts to survive the group chat. Subscribe for semi-weekly chaos, callouts, and advice from AZ to NJ.
