Summary
Rohan, of NBC News and sandwich fame, is back! He fills Drew and Roth in on his Italian Olympic experience, including, most importantly, his favorite meals. Rohan, like the rest of us, was bowled over by ice dancing, and by how Italians eat Italian food every day. Then, they talk Miami’s new QB, the US losing to Italy in the World Baseball Classic, and Bam’s 83 point game. Finally, they open up the funbag to answer real questions from real listeners, and only one of the questions is trash. Do you want to hear your question answered on the pod?
