Just one more week before the regular season starts.  I can’t believe it’s so close…I can practically taste it.  Wait, no, that’s last week’s Request Line, when we took a double dip into the well of Eli, taking on the topic of “fruits”.  My own weekend was relatively fruit-free, since I can’t find any lemon trees around here that actually have any accessible ripe lemons and you’re goddamn crazy if you think I’m going to actually pay for one when the damn things just grow on trees.  Does putting a maraschino cherry in a Manhattan last night count?

I’m going to do something unorthodox and tip next week’s topic (hey there, Boomer!): in homage to the start of the season and the Dick Joke Jamboroo and our forefather Big Daddy Balls, it’s going to SONGS THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO RUN THROUGH A BRICK WALL.  There’s a twist, though – you’re only allowed to pick three.  So think about them carefully during the upcoming week.  This shit matters.  In the meantime, this Eli-endorsed playlist should keep you scurvy-free until then.  As is standard practice now, here’s the Spotify link.  Hold it together for just this one last week and then the regular season begins.  So very close.
