The boys are joined by a very special guest this week, the amazing JK49ERFAN, otherwise known as Jeff. Jeff's wingspan database has been used extensively by the pair during the show, so who better to have on to talk about some Wingspan stats than the man himself!

You'll can watch this episode as well as listen to it! Many of the stats are shared on the screen during time of discussion, but if you want to review them later you can find a summary of them here, and his overall spreadsheet here.

You can find Jacob Bruner's end of round goals here.
