This week's guest, Chicken Social political contributor Kashann Kilson, talks to us about the shake up in Trump's White House: Steve Bannon is out and back to Breitbart. Has anything changed? Also, there's a lot of momentum right now to take down the country's confederate monuments. Not only does Kashann give us a history lesson on them, he also shares our disbelief at how easy they are to take down. Will we win the war against the past? In other news, the secret service is already out of money to pay agents. How has this happened and what does this say about Trump's treatment of his security detail? Last, but certainly not least, the preseason college football rankings are out. As usual, they're ridiculous but some rankings are more egregious than others. Which rankings are the most inexplicable? You'll soon find out.

This week's episode takes a deep dive into the serious and the not so much so. First, Obes and Cha look at this past weekend's Nazi violence in Charlottesville, VA from 3 angles: 1. The Unite the Right rally itself and the Tiki torch march the night before; 2. the police response and lack thereof, and; 3. Trump's non-condemnation of white supremacy as his political life relies on it. We then had two (2) guests, show contributor Eric Trillman and newcomer Chuck, to talk about Season 2 of Last Chance U. They also partook in our time honored tradition of bashing the films of past generations as we took down The Breakfast Club (again).

Yes, that's right. Cian Fahey (aka Connor McFootball himself) joined us to talk about his latest article, "Colin Kaepernick is Better Than Joe Flacco". He also told us about why he likes Cam Newton so much and what he expects to see from him this season. We double-dipped on the Trump Administration with 2, count em, TWO Trump related topics. First, we discussed why the Trumpkins are so hellbent on losing on healthcare reform. After that, we looked at the comically brief run for WH Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci. Last, but certainly not least, Kyrie Irving was just seen laughing at Lebron James' expense? What does that mean for him going forward? All that and more on this week's episode of The Chicken Social.

Kit Wren joins us this week to discuss OJ Simpson. As the legendary running back/probable double murderer gets ready to leave prison, how do people currently view him? Additionally, why does a certain segment of the population refuse to let that 1995 murder case go? Kyrie Irving has demanded a trade from the Cavs...why? What's going on that would make him want to leave? Also, Trump had it downright Hitler Youth-esque at the Boy Scout Jamboree. What are the potential ramifications of this? Last but not least, why do all of our alternate universes have white supremacists winning?

This week, Chicken Social political correspondent @BostonJerry joins us to discuss New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick's unusual fashion statement, as well as the future of the Trump Administration. We then look at the newest source of hate for Big Baller Brand: professional athletes. Is this just common hate or is something else at play? Finally we report with broken hearts that our hero Mike Vick is dead...and has been replaced by a sambo shucking and jiving on Fox Sports. How could this have happened? All that and more on this week's episode of The Chicken Social.

Chicken Social contributor Eric Trillman joined us to talk the latest and greatest in this year's NBA offseason and answer some key questions: Does Houston adding Chris Paul make them good enough to beat Golden State? Will Paul George stay in Oklahoma City for more than a year? And, is anything else crazy going to happen?Obes and Cha then look at an extremely troubling story involving the NCAA: Mo Bamba, a top 10 high school basketball player, was ratted out to the NCAA for accepting illegal benefits...by his own brother. What's going on here?Last, but not least, Kansas Secretary of State and Trump Election Integrity Committee vice-chair Kris Kobach is mobilizing what appears to be a large-scale data grab for state voter information.

This week, Obes and Cha are joined by Matt from the Reasons Are Several podcast. Matt shared his opinion on whether or not you should delete your old tweets when you become famous and becomes the first non-Chicken Social host to participate in a Chicken Medley. We also take the time to figure out why Chadwick Boseman is playing every historical black man of note and why Booger McFarland is talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Chicken Social political contributor Kashann Kilson joins the show to look at the week that was in politics including: Jeff Sessions not answering any questions in front of the Senate, the GOP committing what *seems* to be political suicide by going so hard to pass Trumpcare and, Trump is under investigation. Yup, he sure is. Obes and Cha then take a look at the Cleveland Cavaliers quest to make the two of us prophets by trading for Paul George or Jimmy Butler. Last, but certainly not least, we discuss the Wisconsin gerrymandering case that has made its way to the Supreme Court. Is this the end of gerrymandering?
