This Time Last Year: The Polls are Wrong!

Nostalgia Alert As all 3 of the guys have been traveling and stuck around the holidays, we still wanted to give our besties something to listen to this first week back so starting with a personal favorite. First, however, Austen and Nick recap last night's football games with Austen Tide losing. Then, we found that we actually have a lot of newer listeners and have even mentioned this episode on our recent tour. So for those who want to understand why we love this episode so much, take a listen to Craig and Austen's hours of conversation with Spencer Spratt.
