This week, Mike and Erol get back to the basics: talking about the news and drinking the brews. Mike's on location in CA while Erol holds down the fort in DC with a conversation that goes from Kabul to the cryosphere. They cover everything from a controversy in South Korea to a super not controversial series of indictments in NY, and from Sha’Carri Richardson’s unbelievable suspension to an eminently believable Russian cyberattack. Tune in for everything you need to know about this week's news... and maybe even some stuff you didn't.

What Mike was drinking: 805 Ale from Firestone Walker Brewing Company, "Properly Chill"
