The 1986 NBA Draft is one of the great what-if drafts of all-time. And while it is mostly remembered today for tragic reasons--the premature death of Len Bias and the squandered potential of Chris Washburn and Roy Tarpley--there were a lot of interesting contributors. So we shook up the formula a little bit. This time, instead of drafting the best available players with no consideration for the draft order, the boys are putting on their GM hats (GMs almost never wear hats, I'm pretty sure, at least not while they're working) and selecting on behalf of the top eight pick holders in the draft. Also we talked about Richard Petty's mayonnaise and black pepper sandwich for some reason.

It is very likely that in five months, we will either have our first woman president or our second president elected to non-consecutive terms. In either case, it makes the premise we're doing here feel uncomfortable. Like, is it less respectful to call Kamala Harris hot or not hot? They both seem bad in different ways. Also, the non-consecutive terms thing annoys me for apolitical reasons, as I get into during this episode.

We brought back resident Weird Draft Participant Tyler Cox and took turns drafting all 45 presidents by hotness. We also discuss the favorite movies of presidents and for some reason I bring up three separate songs by the 1990s--let's get back to this part--band Presidents of the United States of America. Are they a power pop band? A pop-rock band? An alternative rock band? Heck, on the basis of "Lump", a grunge band? I don't know. Cool songs, though.

Man, remember 2011? Well, you probably do, it was only 13 years ago. Though I guess if you're like a college freshman you probably barely remember it. My God, how young of listeners do we have? In a macro sense, neither of the hosts of this show are "old" but we are old in spirit, even though we spent the first segment of this episode roasting by far the youngest person alive to have ever been president for being a corny old man.

Anyway, we redrafted the 2011 NFL Draft. It was a really good one! Well, the draft was. The episode might be good, I'm not sure. That's up to you to decide I guess.

We are believers in the Draft Day community. Well, not really. In fact, this is the first time I've ever really considered the Draft Day community as a coherent thing. But this time I'm pretending to care.

In this episode, the boys go through four semi-out-there ideas for a future draft topic and narrow down their list to four finalists. Go to the Draft Day Twitter account (or X, or Epic Le Bacon Chuck Norris Social Media Site, or whatever dumb thing Elon's calling it these days) and vote for your favorite over the first few days after the episode goes live and have your voice heard! Or, well, your vote. Your click. Just vote if you feel like it.

The crack of the bat. The clash of foot against pigskin on a kickoff. The revving of engines in anticipation of the green flag. These are a few sounds that don't exist in the Summer Olympics. There are 47 sports that do exist, though, and in this episode we both drafted 23 of them. Which means we excluded exactly one sport. It deserved exclusion.

You looking to learn how some of the greatest players in sports history got their start? Well, that's too bad, because you're stuck with this one instead. I mean, there is one legitimately great player in here, but not every draft can be great. Otherwise, it wouldn't be special when a draft turns out great, or competent, or defensible.

So here's the thing--we recorded this later than we normally would, which means I am uploading this later than I normally would, which means I am exhausted and not clever. Not that I'm ever clever but sometimes what I say has some sort of point. In this case, not really. Just kind of rambling. Anyway, sports video games. There's a new EA Sports college football game coming out this week and in honor of that, we're going to pick our favorite sports video games of all-time, and by we I mean John Fleming and Jason Bradshaw and also our buddy JackJohn, and since this isn't the wrestling podcast again, John actually knows the subject kind of so he drafts too. Hope this is fun to listen to, and if it isn't, I will refund your money.

On January 1, 2000, none of our electronic malfunctioned. And the St. Louis Rams won the Super Bowl that month, which ruled. Good start, aughts. On December 31, 2009, um, I had to work the next morning at 6 a.m. I remember feeling obliged to stay up until midnight but, like, I stayed home and watched one of those VH1 listicle shows. I think it was that Greatest Hard Rock songs. I think "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath was #1? Surely Scott Ian was interviewed.

But in between, a bunch of songs came out. And I graduated grade school, middle school, and high school. Similar story for some other guys I know. Oh, yeah, John's the one writing this. Sorry my dog barked so much during the episode--he's a very sweet boy but also dogs hate fireworks. Anyway, Jason and I brought on our friend Tyler (who has the same name as my dog, who is also my friend but has never been a formal guest on the podcast) and we drafted our favorite number one songs of the 2000s. Hope you like it and stuff.
