Another week without Blake and Zach, so Adam makes back-to-back appearances. This time he brings along Jeff to take on the Washington Generals in a round of Trivia.

This week we welcome Brock Badgers alum, Adam Cooke, to the pod as a guest.

We then get into an all-2000's draft where we select actors, athletes, musicians, movies and tv shows that encapsulate the 2000's
