"Family Chat" might not sound like the most interesting topic for a lost episode, but it's really more about the comparisons. We've been doing this for 12 years, and pretty much all of our show is family chats these days. Episode 10 was the first such episode, and it's pretty obvious how things have changed over the past decade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It has begun: they're recruiting the French now. And by "they" I mean the NBA. I don't know what this means because I don't pay attention to either basketball or the French, but it can't be good. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
