This was a fun one. Although we start slow talking old NBA Draft Picks (and a bit of trivia), we eventually get into summer activities before Phil reveals that he has always wanted to do a Spartan Race. Eventually that turns into celebrity fights and somehow we get onto the latest Top Shot drama and unlocking (not sure how). Enjoy!
