Tyler Hansbrough and Gerald Henderson wasted little time getting an inescapable conversation out of the way in the first episode of their collaborative “Tobacco Road” podcast.
The premiere episode, which came with an early launch of the podcast website Wednesday night, was titled “The Incident.” It opened with 14 minutes of former Duke basketball star Henderson and former UNC star Hansbrough giving their accounts of the 2007 game in which Henderson caught Hansbrough with an elbow to the nose, leaving it broken and bloody.

“Just blood was coming down my nose,” Hansbrough recalled.
