We talk about the episodes that changed us, the behind-the-scenes stories nobody heard, and the emotional highlights from the first interview with Caeleb Dressel all the way through the most...

They explain who pushed the proposal (CSCAA → NCAA oversight), why timing landed awkwardly after the season started, and what it mean...
