The gents couldn't resist the chance to catch the first Mad Max, in public at a place that sells beer. Somehow, it wasn't the same film they'd both seen decades ago when they were young. Who switched it, and why isn't anyone talking about this conspiracy? Tune in for answers.

Steve wants to talk America's pastime--little league, minors, and The Show; Kelly, who through no fault of his own ended up an Los Angeles of Anaheim California Angels fan, is not really following the action this year.
