This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.

Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

This is a place for raw, unfilled conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it. Listen to the Clifford show on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok's podcast network on TikTok.

and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

Terry Bradshaw is raising the super six stakes again for divisional weekend.

First, he's putting $250,000 up for grabs on Saturday for Rams Packers. And on Sunday, Buck Saints, he's sweetening the deal even more by giving away another $250,000. Plus his all-new 2021 Ford F-150. Colin, one of the questions for the Rams Packers contest is which team will win and by how many points? Who do you like? I do like the Packers. I feel it's fairly comfortable. I would love to know Aaron Donald's health.

If Aaron Donald's is ready to go, then I think they can be disrupted, keep the score down. Man, Green Bay's had one or two bad Sundays all year. So I'll take Green Bay by about eight. So by the way, I've said this a lot. I've made mistakes in my life. I root for redemption. And Steve Sarkesian, who I've known for a long time, had a rough patch. But Nick Saban put his arms around.

him, the NFL did, and I have told more than one athletic director, you need to hire Steve Sarkesian. I said he is a diamond in the rough. He is tremendous, and he just won best college football assistant. And life is funny. It almost like there's somebody taking care of us. Texas is one of my favorite college football jobs in America. It has been forever. It's a great city. And I could not have been happier when Steve Sarkesian just landed the job. and he's an easy guy to root for, and Sark is now joining me live, the Longhorn's new head coach.

First of all, you know, I said that's the other day, Sark. I don't think you're that far off. I follow recruiting. I have no social life. I sit on those recruiting boards all day. Sark, I think the pressure I feel for you is, I think you have some good players. You've seen some of your tape.

You know the roster. What do you see right now in Texas on paper? No, I agree with you, Colin. I think there's definitely some good young talent on this roster, definitely flashed last year at times. And we really think about the season last year. These guys lost three games, one and double overtime and the other two in the final minutes. And they finished year seven and three. So to be able to come into an opportunity like this where you don't have to completely start over,

you don't have to do a complete rebuild of a roster, but you can take that current roster. develop it, then continue to recruit to the style that you're looking for. You know, I think we have a chance to get back to where we all want to be and sooner rather than later. You know, Sark, was there a point in your journey that you knew you were smart, you knew football, you were a great recruiter, you're really built for 2021 and beyond. You're a quarterback guy. You're an offensive line quarterback guy. But was there ever a moment for you that you thought, I may have blown it?

I may never get the head job again. I may not get that opportunity. For sure there was. You know, when you, you know what, I got let go at USC, that was a tough time. You know, it was a tough time for me, my family, and clearly, you know, a couple, there's some dark days there. And, you know, I had to get to a point to say, you know what, I'm not going to worry about if I'm ever going to be a head coach again. I'm just going to focus on being the best Steve Sarkeesian today. I'm going to focus on being the best coach I can be today, the best mentor I can be today.

And slowly but surely, you know, it started to happen. You know, I became an analyst at Alabama in 2016. I went on to the Falcons and worked for Dan Quinn for two years as the offensive coordinator there. And then got back to Alabama for two more years. And in that time over those two years at Alabama, the opportunities to become a head coach again really presented themselves. And I said no to a lot of them. I said no to all of them until this one came. And you don't say no to Texas.

this was too good of an opportunity. And so I jumped at it, and here I am, but very grateful and thankful for all the people that were supportive of me throughout the last five and a half years or so to be able to get back to this point. Nick Saban's the best college football coach I've ever seen, and that includes Pete Carroll, Urban Meyer. If I said, Sark, what are one or two things

that you learn from Nick that you're going to take to Texas? Well, I think one is he knows who, he is and he doesn't vary from who he is and what he believes in. And that encompasses a lot understandably. But, you know, he knows what he thinks are the core values to be a successful organization and football team. And he really doesn't vary from that. And he holds, you know, he holds that true. I think the second thing is, you know, is the discipline and routine in which he has personally in his life, which then carries over to the program. And, you know, there's a discipline in which he requires of his players. And there's a routine in which he goes. And there's a routine in which he

goes about his day and keeps that routine the same for his players. And then the end result is there's a lot of other things that come off of that. But the results are what they are. This guy's done it consistently now at Alabama for the last 14 years. And there's been a lot of other schools in that time that have signed four or five-star players. But no one's done it nearly and maybe never will at the consistency at which he's done it there. You also were under Pete Carroll. What is one thing you'll take from Pete Carroll that you'll use at Texas? Well, I think the engagement of the players. Anybody who's ever been around Pete, work with Pete, played for Pete,

he's a very engaged guy. And not that it's all fun and fun-loving, he's just engaged and he's very attached to his players. And I think his players really appreciate that about him and work for him. But I will say, Colin, when you talk about a Nick Saban, you talk about a Pete Carroll, two of my mentors that I've had in my career, they both want the same result. They both go about it, I would say, differently.

But what I've learned from both of them is they know who they are and they coach to who they are and they don't waver from that. They believe in what they believe in and they stick to their guns. And yeah, you may have an up or a down year or an upper and down game, but the results are we're not going to all of a sudden drastically change. We're going to stick to the formula that got us here. Here's the problem with Texas football last 15 months. Texas kids are leaving the state.

How do you fix that? I mean, Alabama's got a bunch of Texas kids in this class. How do you fix that? Well, I think it starts with your relationship with the high school coaches. The Texas high school football coaches association is very strong. It's very powerful. And what they need to recognize and how I feel, you know, this is their football program. These are their players.

These are their kids that are coming to school here. and when Texas has been great throughout the decades, the top players in the state of Texas have come to the University of Texas, and they've put on that helmet. It's an iconic brand. It's one of which you can go back to the Earl Campbell's of the world and the Vince Youngs of the world.

I mean, the great players have stayed home. And that's what we have to change. We have to change that narrative. We have to develop those relationships with the high school coaches in state. And ultimately, when the University of Texas offers one of their kids, that this is the first stop,

where they want to go to school. Listen, Tom Herman went four in O'N Bowls. His record's essentially the same as Davos-Sweeney after four years at Clemson, and he's out. Do you feel pressure? Do you feel a sense that you're going to get about 18 games, and then they're going to start saying, they're going to make judgments on you. Well, you lost the Oklahoma. Do you feel pressure? Well, I don't know if I feel pressure. You know, I think, in my opinion, it's, you, when you take a Texas job, when you take in Alabama, when you take an Ohio State, you take a USC, you have to recognize what the job is. And if you don't, then all of a sudden, when things aren't going the way you all want them to go, then you feel the pressure. The reality of it is when you take this job, our job is to win championships.

Our job is to year and year out be in the conversation of the college football playoff. And I can't have my head in the sand and not recognize that. Now, we've got a lot of work to do. There's a lot that goes into this. There's a lot when you start talking about the development of our players on and off the field. But I don't necessarily feel the pressure because I recognize what the job is. Yeah. So like when you take me, maybe this is too personal, but the minute you got the Texas job,

you were in a car, you were at home, take me to your emotional moment when your athletic director said, Steve, you're the coach of Texas. Did you cry? Where were you emotionally when you found out? Where were you physically? I was at home. And, you know, there was that moment of, I don't want to call it relief. I guess it would be more of just gratitude, you know, gratitude towards a lot of people that have helped me along the way.

Gratitude, I know the work that I put in personally. I know the people that surrounded me, that supported me. and gratitude towards the University of Texas, Chris O'Connor, our athletic director, for saying, hey, this is our guy. And, you know, there's a lot of great coaches around the country, and they think I'm the best fit for the University of Texas to lead this program. And so I was humbled.

I was honored. I was probably a little bit emotional, but yet I'm ready. And I'm a better coach today than I was five, six years ago. I'm a better person today than I was five, six years ago, and I think that's a direct reflection of who I am as a coach. And so I jumped at the opportunity, and I can't wait to really get started with our players because I think I have so much to share

and so much more wisdom and guidance to provide these young men. That's going to take us to different heights and new heights than they've ever been in their career here. Yeah. Well, you are a story of redemption and hard work, and I just couldn't be happy. for you. I think it's great. And I'm a, you know, I'm a, I got, I just sit and look at recruiting boards all day, Sark, I have no life. So when you sign stuff, I'm going to send you, I already sent you a couple

texts. I'm going to send you my stupid text and tell you, hey, Sark, there's a left tackle down at some high school in the sticks in Texas. And all I want to response from you, that's okay, just appease me occasionally when I send you those texts. Hey, the goal on that one calling is I can say, yeah, I already know about him. He's been on campus three times, right? If you're, hey, if you're beating us to the punch something's wrong that's right hey say hi to everybody christen everybody congrats hookum and sark couldn't be happier for you i will thanks calling hookum man all right steve sarkesian that's a great campus i was in the athletic uh department about five six years ago that's such a beautiful campus i tried to talk my daughter and to go in there she didn't listen to dad that's the

problem with society my daughter doesn't listen to dad i tried to get her go did you listen to your father Kind of. I told her, I wanted to look at Michigan because I always figure that Texas is the warm weather version of Michigan. They're great football schools, but also great universities in cool towns, Ann Arbor, Austin. So I told my daughter, go look at Michigan and go look at Austin. I didn't tell her she had to go. I just said go in and visit. She didn't. And now. I didn't listen to anyone until I was 25 years old. Really? Yeah. No one. At 25, I was like, okay. I've done enough on my own. I'm going to just start taking advice now. Good stuff. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque.

Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get. your podcasts.

sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite

I'm Sam J. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick it here, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont. Hill, waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 was big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so you all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack.

So I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you finishing that sentence. Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.

Enjoy it with the news. No, no, no, no, no. Turn on the news. This is the herd line news. So, the Eagles moved on from Doug Peterson this week, just three years after winning the Super Bowl. Yeah, that's interesting. Troy Aikman said he spoke with Peterson after he was let go and believed the decision came down to a difference of opinion in quarterbacks. What I gathered it came down to was a difference of opinion as to how they were moving forward at the quarterback position.

Jeff Lurie, the owner, has paid a lot of money to Carson Wins, and they're on the hook with him. It's my belief that Doug Peterson felt that Jalen Hertz was probably the quarterback going forward, and how does that mess? It doesn't, and the owner's going to win in that spot. Yeah, no, I mean, listen, Troy would know Jalen Hertz is a lot. interesting. He's an interesting prospect. I, you know, I said when he got drafted, I'm like, I don't know. Jalen Hertz's a second rounder. You know, years ago, I used to be kind of a cynic on draft picks with quarterbacks. I'm like, if you want to be right, just say it won't work. But I'm to the point now where almost all of them work to some degree. Oh, I mean, Trubisky has a winning

record in the NFL, and I was like totally out. And he hasn't, I mean, it's in a division with Aaron Rogers. Well, the NFL's done a good job of adapting to the the idea that every quarterback doesn't have to be the same and the same height and same build and same arm strength and the same style. And some can be mobile and some can be kind of mobile and more of a pocket passer. And you create the system around the quarterback that you have in order to make them successful. The NFL has been flexible with that. They've also adopted a lot of college schemes. So it's easier for these quarterbacks to go from college to the NFL.

And also, I mean, let's be serious. These quarterbacks are, I mean, with the 10,000 hour rule. I mean, they're starting at such a young age involved in very complex training. They're going to camps. They're eating right. Like, kids are coming into these leagues at a different level than they ever have before. They're ready to go. In every major sport, I guess.

When you send your kids to college, it's different than it was 20 years ago. Yeah. Kids now go on multiple campus visits. They can do Zoom meetings. The reality is when my daughter went to college, he was ready for college. Like she knew all about the schools. My son right now is a freshman in high school. He's already got down six colleges he wants to go to.

He's communicating with him. It's a whole new world. Kids are more ready. You have more access to information. That's right. Now finding the right information is a different thing, but you do have access to more information. But what it comes down to in Philadelphia, if this is true, which obviously is definitely played a role because we know that Peterson and Wents's relationship had deteriorated, the head coach is not going to overrule the owner. That's right.

Especially when Carson Wentz is making $15 million a year, and Jalen Hertz is not. Like they paid Carson Wentz. They want to see what he is. I don't think Carson Wentz is done in the league. I think he would do well to be somewhere else other than Philadelphia. Yeah, he's too. And you have a cheap option in Jalen Hertz, who is very dynamic. Yeah, I mean, listen, Indianapolis looks obvious.

They're not paying a lot of people, and they got to get more athletic a quarterback. And he's worked with Frank Reich. Like, that seems like, and Wentz feels more Midwest to me than Big City, Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a very, it's a tough place to play in coach, it is. Like, that's not a knock, it's just the reality. It's not for everybody. The fans have very high standards, and there's not a lot of patience there. They fired three coaches with winning records, and three years after winning a Super Bowl, it's almost unheard of.

Yeah. So Baker and Mayfield got the best of Patrick Mahomes in college, but Mahomes was victorious in their one NFL matchup so far. Mahomes is looking forward to his next opportunity to go head to head with Baker. Obviously, it's cool to get the play. against him in such a big game and the playoffs and everything like that. Knowing him for a long time since I was a senior in high school

and to be able to play on this stage is it's going to be special. And I mean, he went to Oklahoma and Texas Tech. So he got the better of me in college. So I'll try to do my best to win in the NFL. Yeah, the difference is Baker had the better talent in college. He had all the NFL wide receivers.

Now Patrick's got the better talent. This weekend of games is amazing. Like every game, even like Rams, Packers feels the most lopsided, obviously even though the spread for this game is much bigger. And by the way, the number

came down on that. So the Packers, yeah. So the Packers are a national team. So the fans tend to bet on teams they like and quarterbacks they like. So for the number to come down, that tells you the sharps probably put

money on the ramp because the fans tend to bet up Green Bay and Brady, you know, fans like favorites. Well, and we haven't seen, we didn't see the Packers last week. That's right. So the last time we saw the Packers, they were rolling the bears. By the way, what if Green Bay's rusty, Rams have a good first couple drives, take a lead? Mick Bay is 37 and O leading at half.

So the question is, can Green Bay come out playing? But if they're rusty and the Rams get a lead, they're great with a lead. Cam Makers is playing incredible. He is great. If they can run the ball. O-line is better than Green Bay. Again, I think it comes down to the Packers not falling apart, which I don't have a reason to think that they would. But the Rams are a little bit outmatched in this, and they're certainly not as healthy as the Packers.

But McVeigh always has something interesting going into your point. They're up at the half. Rams have the better roster. I believe that to be true. I'm not saying significantly, but I think the Rams have the better O-line, the better D-line, way better secondary, and a deeper receiving core. So I think the Rams have a better roster. The Packers just have the bigger stars. We should do our thing tomorrow.

Name the 10 best players in that game. I'm going to write that down. I think the Rams have the better roster. I think they do. But if the margin for the fewer players is much bigger, I don't know. I mean, it's just Aaron Rogers and Devonti Adams is playing out of his mind as well. So Drew Brees and Tom Brady will make history as the oldest starting quarterback matchup in the NFL on Sunday. Brady started the old man jokes with his tweet.

about them playing on the History Channel. Right. And Bree said he couldn't help, they couldn't help but laugh about the situation that they're in. Tom and I have a friendship and mutual respect. And, you know, we were texting back and forth on Monday. Just kind of chuckling at this, you know,

this whole scenario, right? Listen, he's 43. I turned 42 on Friday. So that's 85 years and a lot of football experience that's going to be on the field on Sunday. I think it's going to be one of those games we all remember because I think we're all assuming. assuming that Breeze is going to retire after this season.

So this could be, you know, one of the last few games we see Breeze playing. And this is a legendary matchup. Contemporaries, but never rivals. Those two are going to own the record book. If you go to the record book 10 years from now, it'll just be page one, Brady, page two, Breeze. That's why I always felt like it was a little unrealistic to compare Aaron Rogers, who's also so much younger, like it could have another 10 years in the league to Brady.

Like, obviously Drew Breeze doesn't have the super. Bowls, but he certainly has the records. Like the comparison in these eras, and obviously you put Manning in there as well, but he's kind of overlooked in that conversation, and Breeze has had an unbelievable career. He's not as spectacular, obviously, and like I said, that's not

the Super Bowls, but I'm really looking forward to this match up. The Saints are favored by three according Fox Bet. I'm not going to ask you which way you're leaning there. I like the Saints. I think they have I like, I think their defense is more consistent. They do have a great defense.

They do. Joy with the news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by. The Hurd-Ly News. I'm just doing my stupid little game here where I'm writing down the 10 best players in the Packers-Rams game. Aaron Donald.

Aaron Rogers. Devonte Adams, Jalen Ramsey, feel like the first four. Aaron Jones. Yeah. Cooper. Andrew Whitworth. He's in there. Andrew Whitworth.

I think David Boktiari's lost. Yeah. It's not in the game. Cooper. Cups somewhere in there. I mean, Cam Makers has played pretty incredible. I don't know where you put him. The top 10 players in the game.

J.R. Alexander. Corner for Green Bay. God, there's a lot of players in this game. Well, that's why they're here. Yeah. I mean, if you just took the best players this weekend playing, it's about 65% of the best players in the league. It's incredible these teams.

New Orleans got like seven of the best players in the league. All right. Breeze Brady. We're going to, the staff's going to try to fool me. Apparently they've got some records and you'd think they're Brady's, but they're breezes and vice versa. That's coming up.

I'm just writing down all the one through 10 best players in that game. All right, Brady and Breeze meet this weekend. They're going to have two of the best quarterbacks ever. They're going to have hold almost every record when this thing's all done. And so we're doing a game today. Brady or Breeze? You're going to ask me, from what the staff says, the numbers are really, really close on this stuff. Who's got more? Who's got less? Here we go, Joey.

Who has more career pass attempts, Brady or Breeze? Now, everybody's just going to immediately think Brady's going to be number one in all these. But a lot of these are trick questions because Breeze had some huge volume years when he didn't have great running attacks. So in terms of pass attempts, I'm going to say Breeze. Wrong, Brady. Look how close it is. Look at that. 10,598 to Breezes 10,551.

Okay. But Brady has more. Who has more career passing yards, Brady or Breeze? Again, trick question, is that you think the Randy Moss Brady stuff makes you think, oh, it's Brady. But that was brief. He's had a lot of receptions to slot receivers. I'm going to say Breeze. Correct.

Breeze has 80,358. Brady, 79,200. Look how close those numbers are. Who has more career passing touchdowns? Yeah, more career touchdown passes. Yes, Brady or Breeze. I would say here because I think he's had, he didn't have down years like. Breeze did. I would say Brady

narrowly. Brady has 581. Breeze has 571. All right. Who has more career interceptions? Brady or Breeze? Breeze does. Again, he had some lean years. He didn't always have great protection. Brady's always been a really low turnover guy. So I would say

Breeze has more picks. Correct. 243 Brady 191. Who has more career game winning drives, including the postseason? Brady or Breeze? Well, that's a trick question. it's obviously Brady and I'm going to get this wrong so it's obviously Brady no it is Brady 61 Breeze is 56 though not that far behind

God Brady's had so many more playoff games maybe they just haven't trailed that's the key yeah I haven't had to do game winning drives who is more career yards per pass attempt Brady or Breeze per pass attempt again that Moss thing screwed it all up because Tom and Breeze do a lot of

12 yards in stuff. I'm going to say Breeze. Correct. 7.6, Brady 7.5. Look at that. Who has more career rushing yards, Brady or Breeze? Both very global. It's like saying what moves better, a stool or a batting cage.

Come on, these guys don't have any rushing yards. I would say Breeze. Wrong. Brady, by kind of a lot. Brady, 143, Breeze, 752. You know, it is true. I don't remember a single scramble in Drew Breese's career. I can't even actually even imagine it.

But it's funny because we're showing him moving around right now. Breeze, I think, is the better. Well, I mean, Tom got drafted by a major league baseball team. Breeze is a good athlete. I mean, like, if you go back to Drew. Tom just has very stompy runs. He's very heavy foot. Yeah, see, he runs like perfectly standing up.

Like, no downhill rushes. I can't believe Breeze has 700 rushing yards in his career. Significant. That's his most of these are very close. He never peeled off a 30-yard or a year? Who has more career rushing touchdowns, Brady or Breeze? Well, you're giving me a picture of one there. That may be the only one.

I would guess. No, because Brady's had more good running attack, so he didn't. No, no, no, no, no. Tom's got a lot of those one yard put his head down. Yeah, Uncle Collins. This, hey, genius switch. Boom, right back on. Brady.

This is a trick question. This was very unfair to you. I felt bad actually doing it. It's a tie. 25. Brady's got a lot of those one-yarders. He does a lot of that on, on, fourth down.

There's a lot of quarterback sneaks, but not necessarily touchdowns, obviously. That felt like a... It was a trick. I'm sorry. Who has more career touchdown receptions? Brady or Breeze? Now, this is not a professional show. This is like cable access.

We're just doing silly stuff. First of all, I don't remember Brady ever cat. I'd say Breeze has won. Correct. Breeze has one and was with the Chargers in 2003. Oh, who can forget that one? It's all over YouTube. That was my best guess in all of this.

So there you go. Yep. They're very close. Yeah, it is. I mean, Drew had, I remember San Diego Breeze. You know, Breeze played, I always, every time I have talked to him, he had a game when he was at Purdue.

I think I asked him once, they played Wisconsin. It was a Big Ten night game, Wisconsin. I think he threw for 600 yards. Yeah, I think we had him on the show once and you asked him about that. Yeah, because Purdue doesn't, Purdue's never been known.

They weren't during Drew's time. They were an offensive program, not a defensive one. He had some shootouts at Purdue. Drew Breeze threw for lots of yards at Purdue. A whole different Sabine era in Miami. Yeah. All right. Good stuff today.

Doug Gottlieb, Greg Kosell, Rick Buecker, and Steve Sarkeesian, the new football coach. I like what he said. He goes, I was offered a lot of jobs. You don't say no to Texas. Just one of those jobs in college. football. Bama, Texas, Ohio State. Don't say no. All right, we'll see you tomorrow with the herd.

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged.

It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A win is a win.

And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
