Only two weeks in between episodes for the dynamic duo!  So what better prelude to the episode than a rousing discussion about the inauguration.  The upcoming inauguration of Bill Wagner into the baseball HOF that is!  After a brief detour into the evolution of Brooke Lopez’s career, the boys dive into the rousing weekend of NFL playoff football.  The debacle that was the Lions, the frozen butter fingers of Mark Andrews (“just run the ball with Henry!” -Hip), the dopey dancing to elicit roughing the passer penalties of Mahomes, and Saqon Barkley running into the record books while AJ Brown reads a book.  The boys lament another KC Chiefs appearance in the super bowl as the Hip posits that the Chiefs chase of history couldn’t be more WGAS, while the Lip makes his observation of how boring the Chiefs are to watch (But there’s Tay Tay with Caitlin!).  The NCAA championship game portion contains zero analysis (because it’s the fu(k-eyes) but plenty of Hip commentary on how it was revealed that Ohio State spent $20 million to bribe players to come there!  Some Knicks bench critiques, Xfinity cable dispute that nobody knows about and Brent Sutter’s 34 year reign as number 5 coming to an end round out the episode.  Thank you President Carter for BHBs!

The Hip and Lip make their triumphant return for Episode 91.  Or have they just started projecting into the void that they have emerged?  Just like riding a bike for the fellas as the Hip attempts to control the spasmodic cacophony of the Lip, and ohhh gawwwd the Lip hasn’t lost his slurpy touch.  After the Lip labors his John Tavares metaphor of number 91, and a reminisce about the NBA Topshot from Episode 90, the boys proceed to wallow in the misery that is NY football.  Will Rahjizz come back or is this the end?  Will the Giants fire everyone and hire Pete Carroll as the Lip suggests (or why not full circle with the Jets?).  But would the diminutive Carroll fit the coaching profile that the boys have decided is a requisite for great head coaches.  There is a correlation between hefty, girthy coaches and winning!  Eureka!  Rex Ryan back to the Jets!  After the Lip steers the Knicks thread awry in musing about Darren McFaddens’s calf muscles, which leads to a rousing round of, “Who was the Raiders QB,” the Hip tells Metropolitans fans that Uncle Stevie’s money leading to Soto was inevitable while the Lip gently mocks the lack of “hipsterdom” for this iteration of the Mets.  By the way…can the Hip name all of the active, immaculate starting pitchers.  A tribute to Charlie in the form of a prior thread about the ultimate World Series losing MVP.
