Title: Tooth in the Eye, Jet Ski Rescues & Kiss My Grits

Brian and Ed return for a “tight 45” that stretches into a fast-moving, hilarious ride through sports, scandals, celebrity deaths, and wild news stories. From Patrick Mahomes’ questionable sportsmanship to Charlie Kirk’s ironic demise, Ricky Hatton’s shocking passing, and Flo from Alice leaving us, the guys cover it all. They also dive into Joey Chestnut’s Impossible Nugget stunt, Don Majkowski’s barroom antics, Greg Louganis selling his medals, Kawhi Leonard’s absurd demands, and listener emails that take them into bike mileage, shower suds strategies, and medical mysteries. Non-sports news brings even more absurdity: a blind man regains sight with a tooth in his eye, a cruise passenger tries to skip a $16k gambling debt by jumping ship, a nine-year-old neurosurgeon-in-training, and Oliver North marrying his document-shredding secretary decades later.

As always, the banter is sharp, irreverent, and wildly funny.
