Listening to Goodbye Mello Brick Road is not death by a thousand cuts. It is what we love. This week, Kate Rose joins the podcast to rank the top five songs from Lover, Taylor Swift’s new album which released in August. It is an amazing album and has quickly become a pop standard for me. Fortunately, Kate was just as infatuated with it as I am. All music producers should stop holding Taylor Swift hostage and let her have her music back!

The NBA has been back for about six games per team so it’s time to take a look at how we see the rest of the season shaking out. Joining me to countdown the five NBA players we expect to have the biggest seasons in the 2019-20 campaign is my former roommate and current friend, Ian Moyer! As a fan of the Philadelphia 76ers, Ian might have some slightly biased hot takes, but my inclusion of certain players will also point towards my own predilection for the Orlando Magic and the Boston Celtics. It’ll be a big year for basketball! But who will reign supreme?
