The new school year is here, and unfortunately so is another heartbreaking story of gun violence at a private school. We open this week with a raw conversation about protecting children and what more can be done to keep schools safe.

From there, we shift gears — talking about the upcoming NFL season, teasing a brand-new segment we’ll be running all season long, and even spinning some of the greatest NFL sports themes of all time (at least in my opinion).

Of course, we revisit the Cracker Barrel situation (because why not?), break down another round of What’s Up With That?! with the weirdest headlines we found this week, and close it out with the always-unfiltered Open Mike Mailbag.

It’s real. It’s raw. It’s the Open Mike Podcast.
