Ken recounts an intense and eye-opening tour of a massive meatpacking plant (5,000 cattle a day!), then switches gears to the quirky “Lineman Rodeo” in California — think utility pole climbing instead of bull riding. Carson shares the muddy madness of a scrimmage with the Goldwörth Raccoons, breaks down the recent ACSL basketball championship, and dives into his experience with AI-powered coding tools. There's also talk of music festivals, Metallica's connection to Virginia Tech, and even some March Madness picks.
