It's the Super Bowl Special! This month, the guys welcome comedian Neil Rubenstein to the show to talk about the intersection of comedy and music, the philosophical aspects of finding your audience and burning material, and how much Neil knows Bo (Jackson).

Riley and Graham also discuss the importance of finding community and being kind when times are tough, the beauty of domestic cup soccer, the insanity of the NBA trade deadline, their favorite Super Bowl LIX commercials and more.

Special thanks to Neil Rubenstein for making us laugh and sharing his traumas this episode.

For our last episode of 2024, Riley and Graham take a break from guests and our typical monthly segments to reflect on the past year on a personal, professional and sports level. Riley and Graham talk about how sports are (or aren't) all about money, how this year's changes have affected college football, all of the 2024 champions, the practicality of a four-wheeler as a children's Christmas gift and much more.
