We get in the ring with Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (later known as just Punch-Out!!). This NES classic cleverly disguises puzzles and pattern recognition within its colorful cast of memorable pugilists. Comedian Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) joins us to put the smackdown on one of the most beloved titles in Nintendo's library. TKO!

Returning guest Tania Newton and her brother, Jonathan Cardoso, get in the ring with us to discuss one of the most successful sports films of all time. Also there's a robot for some reason.
