Sometimes almost too much sports talk.
One of my favorites

Has long been a favorite of mine. Bring back the mash up, bring back the guys. Big fans of both Drew and Roth. Drew seems to take some flack but he keeps this thing going and at least has some opinions/things to say. Roth doesn’t need to agree with every guest’s every opinion.
Calm down, Drew.

Thank you for sharing, Drew! That was a truly beautiful episode and I appreciate your level of honesty and vulnerability.
