Actor and Trail Blazer Superfan Kelly AuCoin (@KellyAucoin77) joined Tara just before training camp opens to talk about the upcoming season. What are we worried about? What are we not worried about? What are we too hyped about? What are we not hyped enough about? All of that PLUS: Maple bars at Huckleberry Inn, the the congressional gym, his first on-screen acting gig, upcoming project, The Sterling Affair, and finally a shock to me, the fleece vests on Billions are not a nod to the northwest!

35:40 What are we too hyped about? We both are guilty of going too far so we are proudly too hyped about Shaedon Sharpe. Tara might be too hyped about Nurkic even thought SHE BELIEVES IN HIM.
