    On this week's podcast...

    Global Meltdown - This week on Global Meltdown, the Republican Party seemed to have trouble coming to a decision on something that is typically just ceremonial. Join us for a discussion on Kevin McCarthy's difficult road to become Speaker of the House and how we as liberals feel it effects us and the Democratic Party.

    Freestyle - Tragedy happened during a routine football game which resulted to paramedics having to basically bring a player back to life. See how Skip Bayless' insensitive tweet may have permanently destroyed his professional relationship with his co-host Shannon Sharpe.
