Summary
So thanks to COVID-19, there weren't any good games to preview or discuss on Wednesday, so instead we decided to give you a massive mailbag episode to help answers most of your wise questions that you asked. Are there more socks in the world or are there more chairs in the world? How many slices of pizza are acceptable to eat in a single setting? Parrish and Norlander answer those questions along with a few basketball ones as well.

(8:00) Which teams are fooling the computer metrics?
(11:00) What are some of the tournaments fans must travel to in their lifetime?
(21:00) Has Norlander ever watched a Big Bank Challenge?

| 0:59.5 | And the reason I'm at home instead of New York City is because both games that were supposed to be on CBS, |
| 1:05.6 | were on Wednesday night were canceled because you'll never gas. |
| 1:11.6 | COVID issues. No games equals no studio. |
