The guys welcome Olympian, international sensation, and professional throwing-person extraordinaire, Sam Mattis!

After discussing how they've been doing, the guys dive DEEP into a wide-ranging discussion that encompasses everything from the state of the world and autocratic/dictatorial regimes to puppy surgeries and the American healthcare system.

Later, in a classic Max and Maks Game of the Week gone wrong, they play a few different versions of what we're calling "Real Fake Facts" where each person tries to guess if the other is lying about facts ranging from if the US intervened in a sovereign nation's government to if Napoleon Bonaparte got trampled by bunnies!

This week, check out Puppy Corner for post-surgery pics of our #1 girl Violet as well as some bonus Kota pics! Then, check out a photo of Sam absolutely faded in the hospital. Finally, listeners can get up close and personal with Max's cast iron pan pizza he made from the dough discussed on the episode, which turned out wonderfully!
