6 - King for a Day (10/1/2019)

On the sixth episode of Rock Hard Caucus, Natalie and Evan present their trip report from the 2019 Iowa Steak Fry. Then we got into a long discussion about college football and social media, specifically the Hawkeye Marching Band incident and... sigh... Carson King.

We didn't read all of this on air, but here's all the "research" for this episode...
