The CFL asks for a handout, more on The Last Dance and JAMEIS! | UNP 52

Episode 52 is an epic run through a number of topics as the guys apparently felt like talking.

In the pod:
- Dave has trouble understanding protective eyewear (6:05)
- Carlos briefly explains “weather amnesia” (9:50)
- Andy Dalton gets cut (11:25) (We also update as the news of his signing with the Cowboys comes out later in the recording)
- Manny Ramirez apparently still wants to play baseball (15:14)
- A special edition of the “Pretentious Cross-Country Running Report” with Carlos discussing the proposal to use CGI “fans” in the Premiership by Sky Sports (28:08)

- Discussion on the SB Nation Mariners documentary up to episode 5 of 6 (01:00:18)
- More on “The Last Dance” Chicago Bulls documentary, which somehow becomes Carlos’ self-indulgent reimagining of the late 90s Dallas Stars (somehow this happened) (01:12:42)
