Episode 3451: From VAR To Eternity, Dreaming Of Ayahuasca, 49ers’ Particles, Bears In Playoffs, Grunge Rocks Out
Man City beat Newcastle 2-0 in the first League Cup SF last night, with new City signing Semenyo scoring one goal and being denied another by a 6 minute VAR decision, a new low for technology in football.
US Murph’s beloved 49ers overcame numerous obstacles to beat the Eagles in Philadelphia. We talk “particles”, The Grateful Dead, The Bears Packers rivalry and Steve Kerr on the broken states of America.
Plus there’s “Jock blogs”, Ken’s desire to take Ayahuasca, and Grunge Week continues to rock out.
