This week, Travis comes back from a two week vacation and he & Tom discuss the weeks he was away in a non-heavy, stream of consciousness conversation. Topics range from vapid sports talking heads to Lex Luthor to children's movies to rock band recommendations to Vegas being a soulless city.
CORRECTIONS:
- Stephen A. Smith’s movie scene was actually in Creed III, not II. And the quote referred to “THREE years ago”, not “four”.
- Travis meant to say that Dukat bedded BAJORAN women (hence why he coughed “RAPE!”).
- The team that Travis forgot that’s also in the NFC West division is the Arizona Cardinals. In retrospect, he understands why they were forgettable.
