EPISODE OVERVIEW

This episode weaves together three primary threads:

1. Bobby’s memories of celebrating Christmas in Australia with Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman.
2. An in-depth debate about Hall of Fame snubs, cheating in sports, and Kevin’s excuses for not staying at the Super Bowl, even though his team (the Patriots) is playing.
3. A raucous nostalgia trip through the crew’s favorite pro wrestlers of all time — new and old.

With Super Bowl 60 looming, the crew tackles football internationalization, prop bets, and the escalating costs of attending the big game. All this, plus memorable tangents, from airline beds to a viral sports romance TV show, and a peek into the world of wrestling.
