David Pollack reveals his wife's brain cancer diagnosis and how his kids now see her as the real superhero.
As heard by us
Pollack gives Russillo the college football spine, and the book-and-movie detours make it feel like a loose late-summer hang.
Ryen Russillo opens with the football meat: David Pollack is back to talk title contenders, SEC picks, Carson Beck at Miami, and Gunnar Stocker back in Athens. The best part is the familiarity.
Why you'd press play
You get David Pollack's SEC title picks, his read on Carson Beck in Miami and Gunnar Stocker back in Athens, plus a fun Adnan Virk book promo and some Casablanca.
