Lima Beans, Sage Smoke & Springtime Shenanigans

Welcome to another jam-packed edition of BIG FAN! Chad and Hank are hobbling into spring with sore elbows, magic patches, and questionable seances under the full moon. They swap tales of beach trips gone old-man-mode, grocery runs for Metamucil and late-night vertical leap contests. The Val Kilmer fan club is in full effect, and Lucy Rose survives a real-life Dukes of Hazzard moment. Plus: Hickory FC jerseys, Masters drafts, and who’s taking home the NCAA crown?
Music included in this episode David Bowie "Let's Dance"
