After correcting the correction and complaining about the heat in Houston (apparently, the H really does stand or hell), Zip traverses through a hodge-podge of NBA topics including Hakeem Olujawon's forming the first super team, LeBron's number change and longevity before touching back on the DeShaun Watson sexual misconduct allegations, the Texans canceling mandatory minicamp and the Texans sixth-round pick getting some ominous shine. 

Finally, Zip ends by talking MLB's decision to start enforcing its foreign substance rules and former Astros pitcher Gerrit Cole choking under the pressure of being asked about it.

Minus Daniel Davidson and Austin Brezina, the guys discuss what right the fans and media have to professional athletes' time, energy and effort, the state of sports journalism, and NBA crowds getting out of control in the first round on multiple occasions. Then, they switch it up during "Is This Your King" on Kat Williams. 

Just because something is a dumpster fire doesn't mean it's always exciting. Despite the nothingness happening in Houston sports at the moment, Zip cobles together an intriguing episode centered around animal videos and explaining his podcast's own theme song. Quacks in the Zip machine!!!!

In the belated Mother's Day episode you didn't know you wanted, the fellas inexplicably break down sitcom fathers over the decades with each giving their top five sitcom dads of all time. These lists definitely don't turn out how you think.

Minus Austin Brezina, the fellas tackle the ins and outs of former NBA player Kwame Brown's revenge tour at the expense of Gilbert Arenas, Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes. They break down the merits of Brown's clapbacks, discuss his top Kwamisms and begin to discuss where he might have erred before saving some material for a second helping. 

In Is This Your King, one of the gang again comes after Texas senator Ted Cruz. 

Following the Dallas Cowboys latest set of draft picks, Tre Blanco and Sous Boy Davidson break down every selection, their thoughts on the Boys draft strategy, and why the results could prove to be a big boom or big bust in terms of production on the field. It's the Cowboys draft recap you always knew you needed and had to wait for but is finally here. 

Complimentary hot chocolate anyone!? Zip dunks on the A's to start the podcast before showing some sympathy for theirs fans as rumors begin that the team might leave Oakland. Then, he regales you with tales from his recent trips, including throwing to a video you can't see and talking about the bet he placed on the Astros.

Zip rejoices that the Rockets season is over and ended with the best lottery chances due to a last-place finish. You know what that means? Lottery talk and Zip prediction checkup!

Finally, he previews next week's episode where he'll dive into the latest on DeShaun Watson and the Houston Texans.

In a basically, Houston Sports-less episode of H is for Hell, Zip goes over why the MLB is messing their sport up with their extra-inning rules while the NBA is helping their sport with their play-in tournament rules. He briefly talks about tanking as a result but strap-in because Zip has hottakes and he's ready to pepper you with them. 

The boo birds were out in full force against the Houston Astros at Yankee Stadium and Zip breaks down the entire "controversy" from start to finish. He also forecasts when the boos will stop and how to make them stop from an Astros fan's perspective. Then he reveals his ridiculous "Axis of Evil" Houston Texans draft plan completely fell apart but moves ahead anyway with the plan because of course, he does.
