Show notes

Tom Haberstroh and Travonne Edwards welcome Amin Elhassan to Mondays, even though he's not a capricorn, hasn't come home and might be headed to Turkey.

In the wake of the scoring eruptions from Luka, Embiid, Booker and KAT, is defense gone? Is that a good thing? Tray sees both sides of the issue.

Joel Embiid hasn't played in Denver since 2019 and is in danger of being ruled ineligible for his second MVP, but there's another player's money that Amin is more concerned about.

Tom has a scorching hot take in light of the NFC Championship game.

Produced by Anthony Mayes.

The Friday Mailbag - Russia? Nope Aug 12, 2022

Show notes

The Mailbag crew has returned for another thriller. Zach Harper, Eden Liu, Emily Sargo, Dammond Johnson and Anthony Mayes are here to tackle the most pressing issues in podcasting.

Zach is concerned about Russia, primarily the alternate Russia from the tv show 'For All Mankind', but also the remote town of Tiksi and October Revolution Island.

Then everyone assembles their heist crew from a particular set of restrictions, and when they attempt to establish three laws in their own countries, things quickly fall apart. Also, why are we wasting resources reanimating dead spiders? Don't we have better things to do?

Finally Walter 'Papa' Mayes joins the show for a spoiler filled discussion of the Jordan Peele film Nope after about the 1:40:00 mark.
