Mouthpeace with Michael Bennett & Pele Bennett

Michael and Pele discuss the ways they’ve seen addiction, drugs and drug policy impact people and communities. They bring on Freeway Rick Ross, who shares how and why he stopped dealing drugs, his experience in prison, and how his name was stolen. The episode then turns to redemption, second chances, and what Freeway hopes his legacy will be.

On this week's episode, Michael and Pele explore Michael’s decision to sit out the national anthem for several seasons and how it affected their family. They are joined by the great Dr. John Carlos, who raised his fist high from the Olympic medal podium in 1968. Michael, Pele and Dr. Carlos discuss that moment, the aftermath and sports activism today.

In the very first episode of Mouthpeace, Michael and Pele pull back the curtain on their personal lives. We hear them argue about how they met, how becoming a parent made Michael a better NFL player, and the unique blend of their marriage and families.

Michael Bennett is a unicorn. The NFL defensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys, is both a Super Bowl Champion and self-described feminist. Pele Bennett is no slacker either: she’s a food advocate and a skilled Polynesian dancer. Together, the Bennetts have taken on everything from racial justice work to authoring a children’s book to parenting three daughters. (Did we mention they’re high-school sweethearts?) In Mouthpeace, the Bennetts invite listeners and guests into their professional and private lives to take on topics provocative and personal: from sitting out the national anthem to keeping their sex life fresh. Like Michael and Pele, Mouthpeace manages to be many things at once: hilarious, inquisitive, and unfiltered. NSFW: explicit content.

First episode drops January 31, 2020.
