After many requests, the guys decide to get a little political. They air their grievances about the latest election, the supreme court nomination, and more (10:10).

It’s been a rough week for Bill and Eric after a leaked audio clip from one of their practices was heavily circulated in the media. They address the clip and provide some much-needed context.

The coaches’ adjustment to Washington and Lee hasn’t been quite as smooth as other schools. The university’s lack of a basketball legacy and the absence of a college season this year are two main factors why they are not getting such a warm reception from the student body. Later on, the boys tackle climate change, or the lack thereof, and debunk all sorts of theories and stances on the matter (9:32). The episode concludes with the first ever edition of “Storytime Segment Weight Off Our Shoulders,” which started as an opportunity to show that they’re actually good people and ended in them confessing to horrible things they’ve done in the past (20:10).

The coaches have developed a bit of a rivalry with the coaches of the women’s basketball team at Washington and Lee, which all stems from a pretty savage joke Coach Eric made at a budget meeting.

Then, the boys answer some questions on this week’s edition of “Ask Bill and Eric,” where they address veganism, quarantine workouts and gift guides (18:43).

This episode begins with the coaches breaking down their signature coaching style: Heatt Basketball. They also address the lawsuits and the backlash it has received.

This week’s recurring segment is “Should We Just Kill Him?” which comes with a VERY important disclaimer (21:04).
