    Nolan Wells, Ghosts of Mississippi, and Graham Platner's Faceplant

    Doc and Carlton return to another tragedy in the Magnolia State as they take on the details of the Nolan Wells drowning. Combined with the Kohen Wiley case, they take on the state's current status along with its pained legacy. The fellas turn to the march of the Patriot Front in Washington on July 4th, where it fits in with the history of the country, and the looming menace of political violence in advance of the 2026 midterm election. Lastly, they take on the implosion of Graham Platner, what it means for the Democrats, and how the GOP excuses sexual violence among it's incumbents for the sake of power. Carlton is also faced with an on air reckoning of his past work for Herschel Walker.

And we bring it in for a close talking about the recent flare up over the WNBA. We talk Caitlin Clark, Brittney Griner, and how race, sexuality, and gender all come together to present us with some profound questions.

The legacy and current place of the Obamas continues to be a subject of debate, and the fellas each bring their different perspectives on the 44th President.
