Double Down Trent

Aaron and Ryan are talking all kinds of sports on today's episode. They start with a segment called "NFL Grab Bag" and discuss a few interesting storylines from the first week of camp. Then Aaron makes a compelling case why you should watch the Tour de France, and in classic Model fashion highlights a rider you can bet on for next year. Then they make their picks for who will win the Heisman trophy, but we excluded the two front runners Tuo and Trevor Lawrence to make it more interesting. FInally, the round out the episode with everyone's favorite segment, "Crossfire". 

In honor of Quentin Tarantino's 9th feature film Once Upon a Time in Hollywood being released, Ryan welcomes Coulter back to the show to analyze the 5 best scenes from his movies. This was not easy, as there so many great scenes to choose from. Where does the introduction to Hans Landa rank, or the introduction to Pulp Fiction or the introduction to Reservoir Dogs? We also talk about which actor or actress we would love to see in a Tarantino movie that has not already been in one. Great show, jam-packed with references and quotes from some of the best that QT has to offer.

Then Ryan and Coulter discuss Barry (43:01) and why we think it's the best show on TV right.
