Among various topics, he and host Dr. Matt Davis review his sports involvement, the 鈥渞elationship of math as a discipline and the concept of truth as a reality,鈥 lessons of grace learned from a bicuspid aortic valve and death of his father, and transition into the role of 鈥渙ld guy鈥 and mentor of a younger generation.
