Welcome to Episode 8, where things get wild! From tales of Trump’s indomitable spirit to Nick Bosa casually rocking a MAGA hat in liberal San Francisco, we’ve got a little bit of everything. Bruce and I (Colin) dive deep into why grocery bills might be the real reason behind the election results, how freedom of speech is slowly being replaced with digital book burnings, and what Jason Kelce’s “keep it cool” moment says about humanity (hint: don’t mess with linemen). Buckle up—it’s a mix of hard truths, hearty laughs, and just a sprinkle of WTF moments.
