  • Satou's Injury Concerns: J rants about improper medical protocol during a scary head/neck injury
  • CBA Negotiations Update: Latest offer includes $850K super max (not the $1M players want) and drama brewing with October 31st deadline
  • Cathy Engelbert's Future: Will she survive the negotiations? J and Nik debate potential replacements
  • Portland Fire Coaching News: LinkedIn accidentally announces new coach then deletes it

Pop Culture Deep Dive:Nik becomes obsessed with Mount Everest after 1,000 climbers get stuck, explains the Death Zone, Green Boots, frozen bodies used as landmarks, and why spending $250K to maybe die is "Mount Optional Everest"

Key Takeaway: If 2-5% of participants die doing an activity, maybe just... don't? Stay at sea level where oxygen exists.
