Dance Lessons, High School Nostalgia and a Fantasy Draft
Football's back, and so is Big Fan. Chad and Hank return to the studio after a month away — with a new producer behind the glass — and recap three straight weekends of fantasy football drafts. There's the Davey Drives a Hummer draft out on Deck Two, with cornhole, moonshine, a league photo that's aging about as well as the guys in it, and a final hour so strange it's now simply the witching hour. Then it's up the mountain to Eagle's Nest, where the swankiest thing Chad can talk about is the unmanned convenience store that charged his buddy's debit card on the way out the door — plus an unplanned, under-slept rendition of "Dock of the Bay" at the sports bar on top of the mountain.
Back home, meet-the-teacher night at Hickory High proves nothing has changed — not the floors, not locker B-52, and definitely not the smell — which sends the guys into junior-year nostalgia, the sacred geography of the junior parking lot, and the wreck Chad had on day two of having his license. Also: Hank's son builds an entrepreneurial empire out of Dad's shoes and baseball cards, a Labor Day weekend in Asheville talking college dreams with Lucy Rose, and a double dose of Judge Hank on giving yourself a nickname and escaping the neighbor who ambushes you on every dog walk.
