Big day in Honcholand friendos. It was the first show of May, it is Star Wars Day (May the Fourth Be with You), it is Teacher Appreciation Week, Mother’s Day is right around the corner. So much going on! Luckily for you, the Honchos were bringing their best May flowers tonight. The evening began with some serious nerding out about Star Wars movies and merchandise in honor of May the Fourth and then got down to serious business with the always exciting Who Wore It Best? Segment. This is episode 59, so they paid tribute to another famous 59, former Chicago Bears linebacker, and current Commanderskins head coach, Ron Rivera. The Honchos finished the opening segment with another batch of headlines that included government-sponsored massages, reasons to avoid the subway, and a special tribute to teachers in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.
The NFL Recap was largely an NFL Draft recap with a more in-depth review of the WooFTskins 2022 rookie class. Oh, and DeAndre Hopkins of the Cardinals got popped for PEDs and Ryan Tannehill is a diva. Go figure.
The NHL/NBA/MLB was dominated with playoff talk. There is nothing more exciting than round one of the Stanley Cup playoffs and the Honchos were here for all of it with a thorough review. The NBA playoffs have moved into round two so the Honchos gave the NBA some love as well. The Honchos closed the segment with some MLB talk that included a look at the season after one month and whether robot umps should be a thing in MLB after the Kyle Schwarber-Angel Hernandez duke-a-roo.
After all of that activity the Honchos brought the show home gently as they always do with the Dope of the Week. This week’s winner was Rick Garboski, PGA club professional.
