Happy National Grass is Always Browner on the Other Side of the Fence Day! We kick things off by admitting we are dropping a lot of balls lately. We share an update on the impending Craig Conover 10K challenge (which is only a week away and causing Erin severe anxiety), tease our upcoming interview with the CEO of the Enhanced Games, and excitedly announce that we might be doing a live podcast from the Fan Zone at the Boston Marathon! (still unsure if this is happening)Erin then recaps her stressful airport experience heading to Puerto Rico, where a relaxing visit to the lounge turned into a full blown panic sprint across terminals. We also share Dan's Puerto Rico adventure where he called the Coast Guard to rescue missing kite surfers, only to end up chatting about helicopters with a maintenance worker. The ultimate lesson learned? Having hobbies will just make you "go dead." We also settle the debate on the difference between a modem and a router.In sports news, we celebrate the US Sled Hockey team securing the "Golden Hat Trick" with an epic behind the back pass from Brody, and shout out our friend Trey Cunningham for winning bronze at the Indoor World Track and Field Championships. We then critique the 2026 Paris Marathon's plan to go completely bottle free, which seemingly involves waterboarding runners with high powered hoses.Finally, we cover a massive wave of pop culture and internet news. We honor the "passing" of Chuck Norris by reading classic memes, break down the shocking cancellation of The Bachelorette (featuring Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul) just days before airing, and expose a French military officer who leaked a warship's location via a Strava run. For "How About We Just Die," we discuss the horrifying viral video of a guy who cooked his steaks with plastic decorative garland for six months thinking it was fresh rosemary. We wrap it all up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" about an entire high school boys' basketball team showing up to cheer on their biggest fans: a local 4th grade team.
