• Bell’s own teammates have come out against him in his fight against team ownership
• One of the players is the Pittsburgh Steelers union representative
• NFL players complain about their lack of perks and high contracts vs their NBA counterparts, is this the reason why things are the way they are?

Comedian, documentarian, and longtime friend of the show Mike Fallek joins me to talk about his podcast Hackthought. And, we discuss a few hackthoughts along the way. Be sure to check out Mike's film Spiders Will Eat Your Face on Amazon Prime Video (it is NOT called Tarantula, though it is about tarantulas).

In my opening monologue, I talk about the two times I ran into Greg Ward, Jr. during my tenure at the University of Houston and how short black quarterbacks can uplift the college football Group of 5.

This episode features unreleased music by Love, Fresh.

Hackthoughts: (n.) opinions so common that they are not questioned in general. Hackthoughts are generally very boring and not well thought through because the person usually gets the opinion from someone else and doesn't care enough to examine it.

Welcome to another episode of your middle brother's favorite podcast (probably. I mean who's to say? He's always been fickle and maybe he's only binge-listening to the show this week. It could be something completely different next week, who knows? Anyway.) This week, Obes and Cha investigate the biggest question surrounding the NBA today, did the Warriors ruin basketball?

Next, the baddest brothers you never did see wonder, aloud of course, why Eminem is in trouble for using gun sounds at Bonnaroo? Have these people never been to a rap show before? (This question might be self-evident, maybe)

Last, and most certainly least, the Republican party is trash. More specifically, these people are out here acting like all they can do in the face of embarrassing and harmful policy from the Trump administration is tweet. If they're really upset with what's going on, why don't they actually do something about it?

All that and more, this week on The Chicken Social.

On this week's episode, Obes and Cha look at how LeBron James deals with what Obes calls, "the hopelessness of inevitability". How do you continue to give your best everyday when you know your best won't be enough to win?

Then, Obes and Cha look at the unique circumstances of Kyler Murray. He's a top 10 draft in this year's MLB Draft, he's less than ideal height to play QB in the NFL, and he got drafted to play in Oakland, CA and make millions of dollars, guaranteed...so why is he talking about wanting to play college football for free?

Last but not least. Obes takes on the barber shop talk of the day as he explains why this year's Golden State Warriors team is better than Jordan's second three-peat team.

All that and more, this week on The Chicken Social.

Opening music: "If You Know You Know" - Pusha T

Midroll: "D.I.D.D.Y." - Diddy feat. Pharell
