In the longest episode ever, Andrew and Brandon cover a ton of ground. On the menu are a discussion of the most popular sports in America, some new spots from the NBA BIG campaign, and John Wall’s flight from Reebok (and return to the court). Spike Lee is a topic throughout the podcast, and Brandon and Andrew’s chipper moods carry them over the one hour mark.
