Episode 719: Between the Brackets

Mike berates the NFL draft LIVE FROM PHILADELPHIA: there's a zip line, and the draftees like helping kids, and the traffic was bad. We learn the difference between the films DRAFT DAY and BACKDRAFT, shit talk Malcolm Gladwell, and then decide to talk about quarterbacks for fifteen minutes even though football season is five months away. But eventually–mercifully–we roll up our sleeves and get to the TOP PLAYS OF THE WEEK. Then we decide to learn a thing or two (but no more than two) about tennis, and we help Mikal brainstorm for his new song about the NBA Playoffs. But most important, this week we make podcast history by introducing the PROBLEMATIC SPEECH COUNTER so we can finally become passably decent citizens. Help us help you: [email protected]
