Preston is a fan, unabashedly so, of the band Mercy Me. The guys are coming to town on October 11th at the Tucker Center (Preston might have been first to buy seats) and he got the chance to visit with guitarist, vocalist Mike Scheuchzer (we dare you to try pronouncing it). He's on Instagram and X. It was a great visit and we think you will enjoy this insight into one of the most popular bands in the world of contemporary Christian music.

Dr. Marty Makary, Johns Hopkins University, managed to NOT get cancelled during COVID. He is so respected, he was left alone and survived despite being a contrarian. He is warning of the dangers of not just mmart phones in the hands of kids, but the state of medicine in general. This was a terrific chat.

I am betting you might come up with one, but I doubt you can name the three biggest issues which wil dramatically shape this country. I visited with one of the most informed, well-researched, minds in America, Justin Haskins of the Heartland Insitute and challenged him to identify the trio.

The Managing Editor of Warchant.com, Ira Schoffel, joined Preston for a look back at the 0-and-2 start for the once 10th ranked FSU football team and offered some thoughts on what has gone wrong and what the rest of the season may look like.
