In today’s episode, Dion, Jon, and Irv tackle a somewhat challenging topic, the most important what-if moments in NCAA and NBA basketball history.

Lexi, Marty, and Alex join Dion, Irv, and Jon to rank the best mustaches.  This is a different take on the normal format as the fellas draft a list and then have the guests use the matrix to rate entire lists.  So, there’s little talk about the top individual mustaches and more about the top collection of mustaches.  Please enjoy this unique offering of That’s a Good Point. Follow us on X (formerl...
