    Adam opens this episode going solo. He discusses the last two online purchases he made and how he'd use them in battle. Another installment of the "Number Ones" segment. He then lists his Mt Rushmore of dogs before having a 2 minute geek out over a burger. Then, we bring back a recording from July, where Ped, Burk and Glizzy P talked about summer jobs growing up. From baling hay, walking beans and shelling corn to babysitting, lifeguarding and mowing. We were model employees. Love you all and Hut Hut!

    Sconnie Jared joins the boys for this episode! They open up talking about how fun it would be to be a Picker. Burk drops something TOTALLY 90s on us. Old movies are coming back to theatres and Jared's school year is off to a hot start. Adam has a take on the Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift engagement. Shoutout delivery drivers, the USCG has recovered the mother load of drugs, and does your sweat have a scent? We discuss when the hay day of video games was. In the meat, Mm!, the boys do, quite possibly, the best topic there is to draft, and boy does it deliver. Love you all. Hut Hut!
