They debate the logic behind team selections, particularly criticizing Mel Kiper’s choice of Isaiah Simmons for the Cardinals, calling it a repeat of a questionable pick. The conversation shifts to the Knicks’ playoff series against the Hawks, with detailed scheduling insights and playful banter about attending games, including a humorous exchange about Fritos, Pringles, and the possibility of sneaking in with press passes.

The episode closes with a lighthearted debate on ice cream preferences, recruiting tactics, and a rant from Blue Jackets coach Rick Bona, who is deemed not a nozzle for speaking truth to power.
