Summary

Evan reveals the strangest dream of his life: he’s traveling in space with Doug Gottlieb as his radio partner, Barack Obama is in the building, and the conversation somehow turns into back issues, doctor appointments, and a plot twist that leaves everyone stunned and laughing. Tiki’s reaction says it all, and Evan tries to explain why his brain cooked up this absolute fever dream. Then it’s back to the calls, and the Team USA loyalty debate keeps rolling. One caller admits the only place Sean’s argument really works is Team USA basketball, because nobody is suddenly rooting for rival stars just because they put on the jersey. The conversation shifts to soccer and the World Cup, including a wild detail about Team USA’s coaching staff that sparks a whole discussion about style, development, and how international sports fandom works. Finally, the show stumbles into peak sports-radio comedy when a caller tries to make a point about “Jack Hughes” and accidentally sends everyone down a rabbit hole involving the Miracle on Ice roster, a different Jack Hughes, and an all-time name confusion that somehow ends up being kind of awesome.

0:00.0	I do have to tell you about the stream I had last night.
0:01.9	I want to say it before I forget it.
0:03.5	Okay.
0:04.0	Because it is so freaking weird.
0:06.3	So first of all, you weren't my radio partner.
0:21.3	I don't want to make you sad. All right. You ready for who my radio partner was? What was I doing? Was I a billionaire off somewhere? You were not in the dream. I was traveling in space. Maybe. I feel bad saying you weren't in the dream, but trust me, no offense to the guy who is your partner.
0:22.9	Nothing against him.
0:37.5	I don't really know him very well, nor what I want to work with him. In fairness, that person is someone you know though and you know though. My radio partner was Doug Gottlieb. Okay? Godlie. Yeah, but it's about to get weirder. Is this because of the rant he went on? Probably.
0:40.8	I think dreams come from things that are going on around you.
0:51.4	And you'll see with all the different things in this stream, it's a bunch of different random thoughts. Because did you pay attention to that? Or did you just happen to see it? I saw it. Right. No, I saw it. I was going to play it on the air and I said, eh, not really.
0:52.1	I never did.
0:54.5	So Doug Gottlie was my radio partner,
0:58.5	and Barack Obama was in the building.
0:59.0	What?
1:00.8	And Doug kept telling me,
1:03.4	you got to go meet Obama because,
1:03.8	A,
1:05.0	you're obsessed with presidents,
1:06.4	and then the other thing,
1:09.0	which made no sense was he's got back issues.
1:13.0	You got to talk to Obama about your back issues. Does he actually have back issues? No. Kennedy had back issues. So it's about to get weirder.
1:20.3	So I go up to Obama. I shake his hand. I look, first time I'm ever meeting a former president.
