Hello friends!

We're in Upstate New York for a wedding this weekend, but that can't stop us from bringing you a new Swoontower, live from the car, right off the dome! Edited in a hotel room, the audio quality isn't the best but we do some Celly Ratings, a deep-dive on THE PICTURE, and of course, we find out the Man of Steph's Jersey.

We can't wait to be back in the studio at home, but I think this was better than nothing - what about y'all?
