FOJ 76 - Beep Beep Drive Home Safe Chicago

Jeff and Jason are back after two weeks off with a packed episode. Jeff officially closes the book on his Polestar 3 saga — it's being surrendered Thursday — and reveals his next move: a first-model-year Rivian R2. He also recaps a Milwaukee work trip featuring Portillo's, Korean hot pot BBQ, and a strong opinion on neck pillow etiquette. Sports take over from there: the Bears' potential move to Hammond, Indiana gets a deep debate; Caleb Williams' Iceman nickname faces a trademark battle and the guys brainstorm AI-generated replacements; the Vegas-Carolina double-OT Stanley Cup thriller gets broken down; the Knicks' historic playoff run and Wembanyama are dissected; and the guys pay tribute to the late Stacey King. Jason previews his College World Series trip to Omaha with his 14U team, delivers a quick Cubs and Sox update, and closes out with a legendary barehanded catch story from his high school days.
