Apologies for the poorly timed title following the events at Stoneman Douglas High School. Kelen doesn’t understand how his brain works. Seasonal depression is looked at and its big brother, depression. The differences between pouting and just doing your job is pondered. A new challenger took his shot with one of Kelen’s coworkers and is applauded for his Valentine’s Day effort. Super Bowl LII is recapped belatedly but leads to an interesting discussion of the parallels between Michael Jordan and Tom Brady. Kelen is able to form an opinion of Justin Timberlake in 2018. Remember Parkland and all the ridiculous gun violence.

As promised, I bring my wonderful better half on the show, my wife Angel Conley. We spend some time debating about whether the intro I’ve used for the last 49 episodes is any good. I say this may have been a mistake at least twice. We talk about how she got into education and how her West Virginia History Bowl teams truly have no offseason. We relive our relationship through the years and discuss parenthood. I recall some various topics from the past 49 episodes and ask Angel her thoughts. Wrestling is brought up very briefly. And because things come full circle, we make our Super Bowl LII picks! Recommendations: Drink Champs Ep. 23 & 26 w/ Snoop Dogg. The Bill Simmons Podcast Reunion show with Jalen Rose. Dad says Tiger is winning the Masters this year.

2017 was a better year than 2016 was. Or was it? Marcus “Showinmadlov” Robinson again demanded his time on THE WORLD’S GREATEST PODCAST and came equipped with a list of topics, ranging from our favorite artist to the most overrated thing of 2017. We spend roughly three hours talking and we somehow got into a 20+ minute tangent on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s movie career, what huge mistake Eminem made this year, why the nostalgia of the past is a gift and curse for entertainment, and even speculated into what 2018 would bring. There’s lots of laughs, tears, and audio side eyes as we make our way through the topics but no stone is left unturned. We also take time to acknowledge the passing of Reggie “Combat Jack” Osse on December 20th. WVU football continues to reign as the trashiest of the trash!

I start off with no topics, flying by the seat of my pants... but that doesn't last too long. I get you ready for Clash Of The Champions and give some ideas for where the card should go... but don't expect see anything like that on Sunday night. I have to reply to Errick's way to end The Walking Dead on It's Like A Podcast Or Whatever Ep. 26 with my own ideas but mine isn't as hilarious as his. I recommend Z! True Long Island Story by Zack Ryder and Michael Jordan's 55 point performance against the Bullets in 1997. And I have to get serious and address the situation at my beloved WWVU-FM U92 radio station. Seems like things are righting themselves over there. #U9Me2 Who cares what LeBron told Lonzo? Not me. Find something better to do people, you're drunk.
