About this episode

Steve Rushin joins Tim and Jeff to discuss helmet nachos, Vin Scully, and The Masters, along with absurd hypotheticals and personal anecdotes.

Steve Rushin, a repeat guest for good reason, joins Tim and Jeff once again. It’s almost nerve-racking to write this episode description given how talented our guest is—but we’ll give it a shot. From helmet nachos to helicoptering into The Masters, we somehow managed to cover all the important topics. Rushin and Kurkjian have been friends for years, dating back to playing 2-on-2 with an extremely famous actor known for shooting hoops on the side. Rushin also recalls a gift Kurkjian once gave one of his kids—apparently still sitting in the garage to this day. And would it really be a Steve Rushin appearance without some absurd, completely illogical hypotheticals? We’ve got plenty of those too. We bring it all—hope you enjoy!
