FOJ 69 - BBQ, Buc-ee's, and Bears Treading Water

Jeff and Jason are back for Episode 69 — and yes, they acknowledge it. Jason just returned from a solo road trip to Tyler, Texas to watch his son Joshua's baseball team compete, and he came back with a full food report. Jeff checks in from Charlotte after his first-ever video directing gig for work. Then it's Bears offseason talk, the World Baseball Classic, Jason's gambling PSA, a Chuck Norris tribute, dog chaos, and more.
