Today on the pod, the boys are talking about college. Over the past 10 years, confidence in higher education in the US has fallen to dramatic lows. The media is littered with stories about massive student debt, lack of job opportunities and other pitfalls. So we’re going to explore what’s going on with college and whether or not it’s still the path to the American Dream.

On top of a rather inspiring conversation about the state of education, we’re also addressing the shocking NBA trade deadline, the boys wild weekend in Tampa, Florida, and Ethan’s disappointment with this year’s Oscar nominations. All that and more on this week’s episode.
