They kick things off with buzz about a possible How the Grinch Stole Christmas sequel with Jim Carrey and Ron Howard potentially returning, then react to a concerning Rod Stewart concert moment at 81 years old. In good news, the Iowa City High class of 1976 donated $35,000 to launch a brand new digital music program at their alma mater. The duo recaps their busy weekend, including a hilarious GPS navigation disaster, a breadstick controversy that scandalized the kids, carpet sensory issues at the hotel, and a Father's Day that featured a brand new backyard smoker. Plus, they gush over a stunning live production of Dear Evan Hansen at ISU in Pocatello, debate who's the better bread baker in an upcoming focaccia vs. smoked bread showdown, share their experience at a Dead South folk bluegrass concert, and more!
