## Resource

Buy a Southern Gentlemen hat and support the show! Watch this episode on YouTube! The World Cup may be over, but Chris is still in mourning. This week the guys kick things off by processing Chris' unexpected soccer withdrawals before taking a hilarious detour into his newest internet obsession: Jon Breaks Bad News. Winston gets introduced to the viral videos in real time, and the guys have a lot of fun unpacking what makes them so ridiculously entertaining. Then they read a listener email with some helpful feedback on Winston's first-ever brisket cook, including a few things he could do differently next time to take it to the next level. Finally, Chris admits he's apparently the last person on Earth to discover Theo of Golden. He hasn't cracked it open just yet, so the full review will have to wait, but Winston shares Rachel's three-sentence review of the book - and let's just say it only makes Chris even more excited to dive in.
