Shottakes

After a late-summer recess, Eric, Elizabeth, and Scott re-join the airwaves to catch up and talk shop. On the agenda: the U.S. national hoopers finish 7th at the World Cup (seriously), the Lakers sign [checks notes] Dwight Howard to fill their vacant center role, Kobe's admittedly brilliant potshot at Shaq rekindles a legendary feud, The Atlantic explains why White Claw's popularity represents a national surrender, DeMarcus Cousins' NBA days might be numbered following his recent arrest, and more.   P.S. A very special shoutout to Close Friend of the Pod Hannah Sherman for completing the United States Navy's Officer Development School! We're very proud of you (and you're killing those all-white unis)!
