I can’t overstate how fantastic 60 SONGS THAT EXPLAIN THE '90s is. My simple request is for Rob to further tweak the concept and record an episode for every single song ever written.

Finished a book. Now I know hoops... Shot clocks are like traffic lights and TV ads. The triangle offense is a Rube Goldberg Machine. NBA Wingspans are queen size mattresses. Free throws are the same. I wish Rodman had a 50 rebound game. it’s beautiful. 🏀🏀🏀
