Summary
Andy and Max Olson unite to form a stoppable, though it takes effort to stop them, tandem as the Room Temperature Takes Team. The guys serve up tepid opinions in this episode, as the duo discusses the levels of support for Bryan Harsin and Scott Frost. Should fans be backing their respective head coach more than they currently are? Kyler Murray's tenure in Arizona seems muddled. What's worse for Arizona fans, and the Twitter sports sphere, is ALL CAPS press releases. Plus, Max's mild perspective on NIL collectives, Oklahoma, and McDonald's.
