Mark Kelly trades in his Tesla for a tank and calls Elon Musk an āa**holeā 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 ā one that actually matters
⢠Devin Booker isnāt leaving Phoenix. Enough.
⢠Errors & Omissions: stuff we got wrong (or didnāt 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.
