Episode 55 has Carlos trying to give Dave some culture by teaching him about Topps’ Project 2020 program and looking at some of the art and artists including introducing Dave to his new favorite artist: FUCCI


By the time you’re done, you’ll know more than you wanted to know about the program, Fucci, and how serious Carlos takes the importance of piers if a place is to be considered respectable.


Eventually, the guys also discuss some regarding the restart plans of the NHL, NBA, and MLB bickering between the players and owners.
