Sean Baligian kicks off this episode with a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the lost charm of print magazines—from Phil Steele's college football previews to childhood rituals involving Sports Illustrated and Beckett price guides. Joined by Todd, the discussion touches on the generational shift in media consumption and the irreplaceable feel of flipping through pages on the “throne.”The conversation shifts gears as Sean breaks down the Detroit Red Wings' off-season moves, questioning whether John Gibson is enough to improve a team still lacking true star power. He dives into the harsh reality of the Atlantic Division, evaluates the ceiling for players like Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider, and revisits the long-standing debate over Dylan Larkin's status as a top-line center.Mixed in are stories about Vegas gambling wins, the slippery slope of sports betting addiction, and a few laughs about fantasy football and Fourth of July grilling plans. From serious takes to silly memories, it's a laid-back pre-holiday episode full of insight, nostalgia, and classic Sean banter.
