Hello everyone! We are back with the Full 40 - an odd situation in which we had to thread the needle timewise resulted in us having to do the episode while Chris was driving from Long Island, where the guys were watching the game with Chuck Everson from the 1985 Championship team, to Rob's Brooklyn apartment, where Rob had to quickly turn around and leave to go to Sweden for work. Either way, we're able to bring a full episode to you and we hope you enjoy the potholes and blinkers that came with it!
