Obsessed with this episode! You say what I think! Keep looking at ALL perspectives. I appreciate your candor!
Hi Stephen A., this is Gavin. Some of your guests are good but I got a couple of more options for you. You should interview Pete Buttigieg, Larry Hogan, and Chris Christie. Hogan would be a good guest to have on your show. He’s not a far-right guy. It has been a while since you have interviewed Pete.

A high-energy political and cultural talk show led by a prominent sports personality turned political commentator. Episodes mix sharp takes on current events, elections, and policy with audience calls, pop culture, and crossovers from sports to politics. The show stands out for its blunt, unapologetic style, heavy call-in format, and guest rosters that blend government officials, policy analysts, and political insiders with everyday voter perspectives. Listeners can expect rapid-fire debates, provocative takes, and a willingness to tackle hot-button issues beyond sports, often with a partisan edge but delivered in a provocative, entertaining manner.
