Thanksgiving serves as the checkered flag of each year-long race, which in 2020 seemed like it would never end. This year, the basic traditions of the holiday looked different due to COVID-19. As America bleeds out the clock towards a vaccine, we see growing resistance to the basic policies designed to prevent the spread of the virus, which expects to lead to a massive winter spike. Can we blame these people though? When the same leaders who are responsible for implementing these restrictions on people's lives avoid playing by the same rules? We will discuss that, along with the most recent updates on how COVID is impacting the NFL season, and how the league is responding.

Recent history has shown us what the energy in opposition to an unpopular President can accomplish. Record-setting fundraising, mass mobilization across demographics, and a spike in voter turnout. Recent history also shows us the pitfalls of what happens when all of that energy disappears once the goal of seating a new President has been accomplished. As the 2020 Presidential Election cycle comes to an expected close this week, this conversation will serve as a call to action. For those who have been energized by the last 4 years. Or to the people that decided their silence was no longer tolerated as the country faces a pandemic, growing income inequality, a worsening climate crisis, and its largest protest movement ever recorded. Regardless of the outcome of this election, the answer is not to withdraw back into our phones and our lack of attention to the world around us. The problems we face will not disappear with a new President. We all have something to give, and it is up to us to stay energized and fight for the change that is needed. There is no going back to brunch.

On today's episode of the podcast, we chat with Twitch Streamer and Podcaster ArmstrongFC. Rob and Steve began their friendship amidst the chaos that was the 2016 election. As two people who find themselves apart on the ideological spectrum, they discuss the upcoming Presidential election, perceptions of both candidates from a conservative-leaning perspective, and how levels of selfishness and empathy correlate to the development of one's political views. We also get Rob's insight into how the COVID-19 pandemic and the #BlackLivesMatter movement have impacted soccer both in the United States and internationally.

With two weeks until election day, you would assume everyone has their mind made up as to who they plan on voting for, right? Wrong. Each Presidential election cycle places extreme emphasis on this small group of voters who are less swayed by their own personal convictions but by the vision that each candidate can paint of the future. In this week's episode of our podcast, we have a conversation with someone who has never missed an election, but with time running out, has still yet to be convinced as to who deserves his vote. We talk about the big-ticket items of 2020 and how they're impacting his view of the candidates, the failures by the media to responsibly do the news, and the poor leadership displayed on both sides when it comes to serving regular people during the pandemic. Will our guest come to a decision as to who will get his vote? Listen until the end to find out!

With under a month until the 2020 Presidential Election,  I am joined by a personal friend, and a former volunteer for the Joe Biden campaign, Clay Gendron. We do our best to breakdown a wild first debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden and also dive into the release of almost two decades worth of Donald Trump's tax returns and what the main takeaways are. Lastly, Clay responds to some of the most common criticisms that people continue to level against Joe Biden. Wait until you hear his case for defending the former VP.

With the wounds fresh, what are the immediate takeaways on what to expect next for the team? Also featured are brief previews of the NBA Finals now set between the LA Lakers and Miami Heat and the major bombshell from the New York Times reveal of President Donald Trump's elusive tax returns.
