Summary

Brady and Grey discuss: Brexit and emoji flags revisited, Brady doesn't want his problems fixed -- just his jokes laughed at, jousting and golf at the Olympics, Brady gets an honorary degree, and Grey's split-brain video which inevitably spills over into another discussion of free will in which Grey says part of the universe might not make sense but forgot to mention one key point of the argument.
