Big thanks to Ian Sturgeon of intromachine.com for the brand new intro for this episode.

Addison and Matt discuss an idea for a brand new (very peaceful) segment, and also what is probably the most important phone call Matt has ever made. The guys discuss the buzz on Twitter surrounding the #MattHulme2020 phenomena, as well as give some thought to the nominations, and the best way for listeners to fund the #MattHulme2020 campaign. They discuss the pressure cooker story from this past week and it’s relevance to the NSA surveillance. The boys put A-Rod on blast and discuss the basis of steroids and professional sports. Lastly, they give some thought to the most recent NSA spying leaks.
