    Chapter 11 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux

    Lock him up? Are we talking about Trump or Biden? Or both? Town in Connecticut declines to fly the Thin Blue Line flag. Right or wrong? Caitlin Clark blindsided. Racial? Sending a message to a rookie? And a wrap with Mr. Sports Guru (that would be Mike) with his fearless prediction of the Celtics - Mavericks match up.

    Chapter 10 of News to ME: Ken & Mike Redux

    Well we talked a lot about Donald Trump. His trial, Robert DeNiro being a surrogate for Joe Biden, Dennis Quaid saying he supports Donald Trump. Ken still thinks Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States. Mike thinks Ken is as crazy as Robert DeNiro. You be the judge. We also talked about the two challengers to Chellie Pingree (insert yawn here), and if the “Appeal to Heaven” flag, very similar to the 1901 Maine flag, would derail efforts to replace the Dirigo flag. Finally, a tribute to Bill Walton and a remembrance of Grayson Murray, recognizing that one never knows what demons haunt the lives of those around us.

    More Trump stuff. Accuses Biden of authorizing a hit when searching Mar-a-Lago. Will the jury end up deadlocked? Student loan forgiveness. Mike wants his kids to get their loan payments reimbursed to them. Someone start a Go Fund Me. And Ken does his annual rant about only needing one day for veterans: Choose between Veterans Day and Memorial

    Episode 8 of New to ME: Ken & Mike Redux

    Will he or won't he be found guilty? Biden challenges Trump to a duel. A verbal one, at least. Good idea or bad idea? Harrison Butker tells women how much happier they will be barefoot and pregnant. And Caitlin Clark had a bad night. But she will be just fine. Let's not over react (or be happy for a bad night because of race issues).

    Episode 7: News to Me: Ken & Mike Redux

    We start with campus protests (is it he same as the Vietnam era of protests?), talk a bit about Biden (Mike says he should be more vocal about Israel; Ken says quit picking on Biden), agree that Kristi Noem shot herself in the foot when she reported, with some pride, shooting her fourteen month old dog for being bad. Bad dog. Stupid dog owner. Enjoy!

    Episode 6: News to ME: Ken & Mike

    Israel vs. Palestine protests on college campuses. When did college students get so invested in Palestine? And anti-Israel. Do these protests help either Biden or Trump? Caitlin Clark gets $28 million from Nike. Good for her! And Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Cher? Lovely voice. Great entertainer. But what the hell is Rock and Roll?
