Trumps character, or lack thereof is making it's presence known and the world is suffering for it. Hopefully, Rome won't burn to the ground in the process. Tweet us! www.twitter.com/bobknowsbass

Mike Reynaga comes onto the show for full on, drag em out CIVIL DISCOURSE! We all have times when we want to let our conservative friends know a piece of our minds over social media. This episode was an experiment in what the difference would be when you disagree with someone during a face to face conversation rather than over a Facebook post. You may find that the conversation would be far less divisive and you would agree on more things than expected. Enjoy and let us know what you thought! www.twitter.com/bobknowsbass
