We also dive into one of the wildest (and most disturbing) Arkansas stories we’ve ever covered, and then flip completely the other direction to talk about the heroes of World War II and what it actually meant to be 18 years old in 1944.Plus:Luka out with a hamstring… but would Kobe have played?Can ANYONE beat OKC?Bridge returns to the softball field after 5 yearsIs anyone brave enough to challenge Bridge in the Olympics?WWII Pop Quiz (and we might not be as smart as we think…)If you like sports, history, random debates, and two guys arguing like they’re at a bar — this one’s for you.👉 Like, subscribe, and share if you enjoy the show.00:00 Return of the Podcast02:20 NBA Playoffs and Ratings Surge05:52 Generational Differences in Basketball09:47 Softball Comeback and Personal Stories14:11 Controversial Child Fight Club Incident15:54 Honoring the Greatest Generation18:58 Bridges Olympics Challenge21:52 Pop Quiz on History and Sports27:00 Closing
