Summary
A discussion of the NASCAR Playoffs leads us deep into the psyche of the average U.S. American sports enjoyer. Then Peter brings us a Wikipedia dive so sinister it needs the other music, and Rory takes us to TC Rock City. We recorded this right after our PATREON DUNK TANK #2 which will be uploaded soon.
