The Edge with Mark Thompson

With his aggressive comedy style and political incorrectness, Bobby Slayton has been called his generation’s Don Rickles.

Bobby continues his tradition of stopping into the show at the holidays. He’s joined by iHeart Radio’s Lisa Foxx sitting in with Mark Thompson while J. Elvis shoots a movie.

The show begins with political analyst, Michael Shure, and a fresh take on Michael Flynn’s dealings with the judge in his case, a look at political and private interests vs the public good and, finally, some thoughts on Penny Marshall.
