The end of the semester approaches, and the Nuts have work to do. This week’s conversation begins with a collective discussion of the Amazon Prime documentary Red, White, and Wasted, which chronicles a low-income Florida family obsessed with mudding. Media discussions include the new Fallout series and the new Civil War movie. Baby Boomers are not okay, as the broadcast of Billy Joel’s concert on CBS was cut off too soon. A discussion of baby boomers hatred of self-checkout leads to the shocking revelation that both David and Lindsey shop for groceries in-store. Finally, the Nuts discuss Caitlin Clark, and Alec’s issues with the WNBA, which center on mascot names.
