At the beginning of this episode, Shawn nails it. It's a bit of a mish-mash. Shawn and Howie discuss the 1976 Olympics and how the Games changed after 1976 with the boycotts in 1980 and 1984 and the loss of amateurism in the games over that time. They also talk about the remarks of the Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong about the actual existence of Babe Ruth. Also, Canadian news legend Lloyd Robertson passed away on August 4, 2026. The boys remember him.
