Grant and Jeff go off on the Celtics’ collapse, Red Sox mistranslations, Trump appointing Nick Saban to a sports commission, and a jaw-dropping look at DOGE's discoveries inside federal spending. Plus: dental rodeos, Marines dodging milk, and the Duffalo barbell dilemma. Every listener is a podcaster. Secure the trash, call your mom, and hit play.
