The World Series was one unlike any other - and this time the boys got to recap Game 6 both on-field (Blake Snell's dominant performance being cut short) and off-field (Justin Turner's positive COVID tests...and the aftermath.) "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" highlighted what foods feel most like home. 

Everybody claims not to know something these days. This week, the boys discussed the strange circumstances of former men's basketball head coach Pat Chambers' resignation from Penn State and why the University of Texas' school song needs re-examining. For "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," they each picked an athlete who never gets the respect they deserve. Nkwa also lent a few words in support of the #EndSARS movement.

After an unexpected bye week (read: week off), the guys got right back to work to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on SEC football and to recap the bubble seasons of the NBA and the WNBA. For "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," they talked about the one thing that brings us all together...

Food.

Our valiant hosts celebrated #InternationalPodcastDay by...well...getting this show on the road! They recapped the first Presidential Debate (if one can even call it that), reminisced about fending off dirty opponents in "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," and introduced a lightning round known as "Let's Talk, Let's Not."

Are you ready for some football? The Big Ten apparently is. Speaking of football, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Alejandro Villanueva went rogue against a team vote...in an all too familiar fashion. For "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," the guys respond to a listener question about how complicit POC can be regarding white privilege. 

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Steve Nash came out of nowhere to become the Nets' next head coach, Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence wants to be apolitical, and for "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," the boys pick an athlete to impersonate for the day. 

Note: Original un-bleeped audio (1:00:47) came from @gringatears' original tweet on Thursday, Sept. 3rd.

For the first time in show history, Award Tour: The Podcast had a live show! Of course with venues closed...in the middle of a pandemic...social media channels had to suffice. In the aftermath of the NBA strike from the bubble, the guys reflected on what the stand signified and looked ahead at what comes next. 

Broadcasted live on Thursday, August 27th, 2020.

This week, the Big Ten Conference is receiving pressure internally and presidentially - no, seriously - to start their football season amidst COVID-19 concerns and the guys pay tribute to late Georgetown University basketball coach John Thompson, Jr.  The latest edition of "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" unpacks the impact of Black American culture.

The release is a day earlier than usual but in this case? It's absolutely necessary. The guys talked about the impact of an NBA playoff strike and what it could mean moving forward both economically and socially. For "Tell Me Something I Don't Know," they actually...#stucktosports and reflected on the underappreciated aspects of sports returning.
