Two long time friends and massive basketball fans come on, and we start the episode with the news on everyone's mind, Kobe Bryant.  We here at Gathering of Fools, offer our deepest condolences to the family and friends of all nine people aboard the tragic helicopter crash.  We then jump into the NFL, with our Super Bowl predictions and jump to the NBA.  

Tommy 2 Phones is back to talk everything entertainment.  We start with our top 5 tv shows of all time and just wing it from there!

My good friend Kyle Hoschar comes on and we talk about all our favorite topics.  We hit some football, MMA, film, and the normal foolery!

Thad came after his bowling league, and already out a few down...I have been sick but decided I could do a little whiskey as its supposed to be good for colds and flu...and then Foolery ensued.  Keep in mind, not only are we two idiots that have no business talking about serious issues, and now we are two drunk idiots talking about serious issues...enjoy lol

Ron Ferguson is running for State Representative for the 96th district of Ohio.  His idea of people over politics, in my opinion, is the direction the country needs to head, and that starts on a state level.  I really enjoyed the conversation and I hope it provides some insight into Ron's character for everyone in the 96th district of Ohio.  

I'd like to introduce everyone to my good friend Justin Blanton!  We talk about him and his girlfriend's (Corin) artwork, which you can check out on our Instagram!  Don't worry, we also get into our normal foolery, and Blantonian is a master of foolery!

Back in the studio and covering our Christmas fun!  Thad might have came up with the best white elephant Christmas gift of all time!

My sister, Hannah Piko, comes on and we talk about life change, health, and random foolery.  I've really enjoyed having my family on and this was no different!

Thad and I are back in the studio...on impeachment night.  We really only touch on the subject briefly, then back to our normally scheduled foolery!  We did have Morgan doing the behind the scenes work on this episode and she is going to be a great addition to the team whenever she can make it! 

My Mother and Matriarch of the Hammer family joins me to tell the story of our family.  We have a bit of a different story with a lot of moves and my parents actually divorced, lived states away, and some how managed to get remarried.  This episode means a lot to me and I hope you all enjoy it!
