    Matt’s Fractured Ankle Story

    15:00 – 18:30

    Driver’s Test & Teen Driving Fears

    Matt shares being pulled over en route to college and allowing a car search.

    21:30 – 25:30

    More Cop Stories & Inspection Rants
    Chris and Matt laugh through anecdotes about police interactions, including bad timing from a friend who was a cop. They also complain about the scam of car inspections and how tires are never repairable.

    25:30 – 28:30

    Philadelphia Phillies Recap
    The Phillies beat the Braves behind Trea Turner’s and Bryce Harper’s homers. Concerns about the bullpen, Alec Bohm, and Marsh’s inconsistency are discussed. Matt praises Max Kepler’s patience at the plate despite a low batting average.

    28:30 – 30:20

    Betting Losses: NCAA and NBA
    Matt laments losing $1,400 on the Bryant Bulldogs and his ruined NCAA brackets. Chris shares a loss on Spencer Dinwiddie, who stopped contributing after a hot start.

    30:20 – 34:00

    Phillies Pitching & Cy Young Odds
    Chris reads off odds for Phillies starters in the NL Cy Young race:

    • Zach Wheeler: 2nd overall (+500)

    • Christopher Sánchez: +2500

    • Jesus Luzardo: +3300

    • Aaron Nola: +10,000

    They debate the plausibility of three Phillies in the top three for Cy Young voting.

    34:00 – 35:00

    Phillies vs. Yankees Odds
    Phillies are underdogs (+104) against the Yankees. Probable pitchers: Lizardo vs. Schwellenbach. Matt likes Philly as a moneyline bet.

    35:00 – 38:40

    Ankle & Arm Injuries + MRIs
    Matt outlines next steps for his ankle. Chris recalls tearing his bicep tendon lifting a Peloton. Both joke about unnecessary full-body MRIs and fear of incidental findings.

    38:40 – End

    Scrubs TV Show & MRI Paranoia
    They close with TV talk about Scrubs—notably the episode with Perry’s brother and JD’s brother, and how full-body scans can reveal “stuff you didn’t want to know.” Chris ties it back to his advice.
