The boys are all back for a non guest episode for the first time in a long while. We discuss Drake 'running out' of internet, his phone not working, Usman getting kicked in the head, and the reason that 344 wasn't a Gary Dolphin interview like originally planned. Nebraska linemen are throwing up at alarming rates and while the quote that came directly from Scott Frost's mouth may have been hyperbolic, we discuss the implications of exerting yourself that hard, if football training and practices should ever induce vomiting, and we speculate on the state of the Husker program with this news coming 10 days out from their first game with NW in week 0. We also share a story from a listener who reached out who happens to be the nephew of a woman who was in a very serious relationship with Nile Kinnick. We talk a little bit about Charlie Jones and Tyrone Tracy over at Purdue, and finish with highlighting a Highschool football game happening in Kinnick stadium this Friday.

Scott is an Actor, Writer, Producer, and he's doing it all in the state of Iowa. His first big break, and what many today would recognize him for, was the viral 'Iowa Nice' video that he debuted a decade ago in 2012. That video was made to highlight the our state and some of the great things and people that Iowa has produced. Similarly with this new project, Scott sought out to deep dive, like never before, one of Iowa's true historical hero's, Iowa Football Player, and Heisman Winner, Nile Kinnick. Scott walks us through the motivation behind this upcoming Documentary, how his team went about gathering all the necessary, and in many instances newly found, information about Nile and his life, and helps us understand how truly great of a human Nile was.
