ROTHPOD EP204 - 05/29/24 - The ROTHPOD is back as the NHL and NBA playoffs are now in their respective Conference Finals, albeit one side is much more competitive than the other! We also discuss the Nico Collins deal in Houston, the MLB including Negro League stats in their all-time leaderboards, and answer a bunch of great listener questions... give it a listen, we hope you enjoy!
