About this episode

Episode 300: Neal and Toby reflect on how the O.J. trial changed how media is broadcasted and how we became glued to our screens. Then, early reviews of the AI Pin have not been favorable.

Lastly, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s football team Wrexham might have a storybook ending to their season.
