This walks right into Mark and Dirty focusing on the fact that the millennials seemed to have changed the world...but is it for the better or worse.

    This becomes a game of Gen X versus the Millennials on The Q. But it doesn't get that far because one of the people in the game is in total agreement with the other one...but which one is it. Later on the guys focus on conservatives and what the word "conservative" is starting to morph into.

  • The Q - 504 - Wrestling with Ourselves

    The Q prides itself on discussing the latest in the news, current affairs and pop culture. But some shows touch on other topics that make us revisit and discuss deeper the way we are as people.

It doesn't seem we are there yet and so for that we are Wrestling with Ourselves for the time being. Mark and Drew discuss this aspect of life and the controversy currently. Alfred Konuwa joins the show to discuss being a wrestling writer, but also to talk about the business.
