David and Mark and a room full of friends at Dad's Garage have an absolute blast exploring the week's news. They run a deep dive, Top 5 on André 3000's recent surge of impromptu performances around the city, joined by special guest Kelundra Smith. They also cover a change at Emory and a bundle of sports news: Coco Gauff, Allisha Gray, Blooper, and Atlanta's presence at the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The crowd helps Mark and David personalize a brick for the Braves' All Star Game Brick program, and Adán Bean steps in to deliver a reading from Topher Payne's genius Topher Fixed It series.

Big shoutout: this show is presented with support from Emory Libraries and the Emory Arts & Social Justice Program. 

Special thanks to our performers at the live show: Theresa Tha Songbird, Jon Goode, and David Ryan Harris. And to everyone who came out to the show!

David and Mark brainstorm their dream version of the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, hosted by Atlanta in July. They also rundown a pair of unexpected but connected: the end of the penny and a semi-truck that spilled $800,000 worth of dimes onto the highway. Who'd have thought coins would be so newsworthy in our cashless culture?
