On this week’s show, Lindsay and Jessica talk Eric Reid's hiring by the Carolina Panthers (5:52) before diving into a long discussion about abusers, enablers, and excuses that starts with Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination hearing and winds it way through and past Jameis Winston, the Dallas Mavericks, Urban Meyer, Addison Russell, and Cristiano Ronaldo, among others (41:09).

Then Jessica interviews the legendary Mary Carillo, former professional tennis player, tennis commentator, Olympic commentator, and Emmy-winning reporter with HBO Real Sports (54:17). [This is an edited version of their 45-minute conversation. If you’d like to hear the entire thing, become a patron of BIAD: https://www.patreon.com/burnitalldown.]

Of course, you’ll hear the Burn Pile (57:55), our Bad Ass Woman of the Week , starring Australia's Jessica Fox (1:01:06), and what is good in our worlds (1:03:47).
