It's the slowest week for sports of the year, so we give thanks to the Lone Wolf Tenor and his shameful act for giving us something to talk about. Beyond that, we receive the greatest gift a listener might ever send us -- and open it live on-air for maximum reaction authenticity. PLUS: John goes backstage at Pemberton, Stefan dives into peak meme season with the RNC, and Justin liked Ghostbusters. (Stefan did, too.)

With John off on tour, Stefan and Justin are joined by David Carr Fellow and New York Times Magazine writer Greg Howard to discuss Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors, the tackiness of Golden State's recruiting pitch, and what his departure means for Russell Westbrook. Then things get serious, with a frank discussion on how classist power structures at the amateur level create racial tension and disparity in traditionally white sports, and why "transcending race" is a lie. PLUS: lots of P.K. Subban feelings, Stefan's experiences in professional political trolling, and why Edmonton fans deserve to suffer.
