We're joined this week by Austin Pryor aka the man behind all the stats during Burrito League. He held it down not only during the competition but during this episode - sharing stats not only for our segment but all the cities that really held it down.

Back in the studio and a little rusty, the crew discuss Burrito League, the Olympics (sort of), and what in the heck we're doing this year. We also recap Will's stellar performance at Rabid Raccoon.

On-loop podcast with founder, Mac Dean and others! Also, BIG Announcement at the end, so listen all the way through!

Last pod of 2025! We recap Lookout 50, 2025 as a whole and project forward to 2026. Thanks for listening this year! Big plans in store for 2026, so stay tuned!

Special pod where we record with one mic in Will's office. The pod reviews Big Daddy Week, shines a light on the Western States Lottery and definitely doesn't decide on a race for next year. We answer our own hypothetical question and there's plenty of banter. One might argue that it's all banter.

Thanks for listening to us each week*
