How do you count lanes on a highway? Bonus: Are beer flights overrated?

After debating time travel's representation across film and TV, we discuss the Ellen hullaballoo and the NBA-China firestorm. If we're lucky, this will generate Twitter bot activity against @SmartBasketball.

Ed and Zach speculate what caused Bob to not show up for tonight's podcast. Also, where did 2.10 go? Listen and find out!

Bob explains his displeasure with Joe Drape's NYT story where Justify allegedly failed a drug test during the horse's run-up to the 2018 Kentucky Derby and subsequent Triple Crown. Drape "has an agenda in his writing, he's painting a story that he wants people to hear..."
