This episode kicks off with a recap of a chaotic week hosting 12 family members, which led to a chance encounter with an Instagram follower who gifted us a sailboat. We share a surprising family connection to one of the real life 1916 shark attacks that inspired the movie Jaws, and tell the story of Bucky’s lost dog harness that miraculously washed ashore five days later. In sports, we break down the drama from the track world, discussing the shockingly low prize money at the USATF Championships and the disappointing news that Michael Johnson’s Grand Slam Track is unable to pay its athletes. We also cover the viral video of NASCAR driver Connor Zilisch breaking his collarbone while celebrating a win, and USA Weightlifting’s official statement against the controversial Enhanced Games. Plus, we review documentaries on Liver King and Shaq's revival of Reebok, explore Strava’s list of the world's most popular toilets for athletes, and laugh at a list of clever ways to "rage bait" a man all while navigating multiple kid related emergencies in the background, including a minor kitchen flood.
