The Double Tech episodes

  • Episode 14: Road to 100 (with special guest Phil Cude)

    It's summertime, and Ethan's back with another episode packed with electricity! First up, he dives into the heat of the NBA Finals, giving his rundown of how the series ended (unsolicited, of course). Then, he chats about the joys (and slight anxieties) of his travels during the past couple of days. This episode also features an interview with a great friend and fellow sports fan, Phil Cude. Together, they discuss collegiate baseball and unravel the mysteries of pitch sequence. They confess their mutual struggles on the golf course (there will be tears, laughter, maybe both), and delve into the ever-important question: what truly motivates us? So grab a cold drink, fire up the grill, and get ready for an episode that's as fun as a summer yard game. Let's go!
