Summary

On this week's episode, Tony and Russ are joined by Laurence Holmes while Jason is out sick. The guys have an unscripted discussion about politics and how young people view voting as they watched Chicago's Mayoral Election. Russ asks Laurence to talk about his feelings about where sports media is amid layoffs around the industry. Laurence discusses how he's seen Sports Adjacent grow as they approach their two-year anniversary. The guys take a trip down memory lane about taking trips to the mall as kids, finally recording in the same room and much more.

0:00.0	We're doing everything I dreamed of as an adjacent.
0:21.0	You know, it's crazy about watching the electron results and seeing the percentage of people
0:27.5	that end up voting and it's weird because I sit back at 28 and I look at it and the finger
0:35.5	always gets pointed at 13 through 30, 35 even and it seems unfair in so many different
