Please note this episode was recorded January 22nd, before the the tragic accident that claimed the life of Kobe and 8 other people on board. This is a re-release of that episode. I make a statement that it has been a "slow news/sports week" and make reference to "last episode". These statements were made prior to the tragedy and we devoted an entire episode to the topic. I hope this does not come off as insensitive. Also apologies for the audio quality, hopefully the content makes up for it. We actually rerecorded it but wasn't the same.
