• Opening chat
00:30 Chris and Matt compare state-to-state license rules, laugh at bizarre test questions, and talk about feeling old watching 16-year-olds get licenses.

• TV/Movies/Pop culture run: Office quotes, HIMYM cast aging, Slow Horses, Harry Potter baking show, Stranger Things cast, sneaker drops
06:00 They bounce through Office references, discuss late-season HIMYM issues, new Slow Horses season, Harry Potter audiobook, Wizards of Baking renewal, Stranger Things returning soon, and failed attempts at buying Stranger Things Dunks.

• College football + Citadel tangent
14:50 Quick check of Ole Miss’ opponent confusion leads to a detour into Citadel campus architecture and checkerboard courtyards.

• College basketball: history made with Oliver Rupp (7’9″ Florida freshman)
17:58 Tallest player in CBB history checks in; they note he’s unusually proportional for his height and didn’t record a stat.

• NBA bits: Club Trillion, Boban nearly earning his full pension, Tony Snell situation
