Adam and Brandon are back! If you're wondering what took so long in between episodes, they explain back in Part One. Then, because it's been half a year since the last episode, they recap all the recent news happenings (that they could think of at the moment). As a matter of fact, they had so much to recap that the episode had to be split into two parts: one dedicated to sports, and the other dedicated to news stories. (This makes it easy for those of you who only care about one or the other to skip the part you don't like!) NOTE: Please excuse the sound quality - Brandon, our producer, had to fight with a program with which he is unfamiliar and only now learning. Things should iron themselves out over time. Thanks!

As a matter of fact, they had so much to recap that the episode had to be split into two parts: one dedicated to sports, and the other dedicated to news stories.
