Episode 83 - The Meaning of Belief (and Meaningless All-Stars)

Then we shift into a heavy GenX moment with the passing of Catherine O'Hara—another iconic thread tied to our childhood and the movies/TV that shaped us. We close with a sports reality check: the modern Pro Bowl Games—does it matter anymore when so many alternates get pulled in and the “honor” starts to feel watered down?
