  • Lifespan - David A. Sinclair | Bleachers - John Grisham

    The Bros are once again joined by long time bro Ramsey Callahan. He catches up the guys on some incredible breakthroughs regarding the aging process by discussing David Sinclair's Lifespan. Kenny then uses Bleachers by John Grisham as an excuse to tell stories about a surly, but hilarious football coach that all three shared while attending Middleton High School. James opted out of reviewing a book in lieu of telling more incredible stories about the legendary Coach Larry Wright.
