Joshua opens up the hour with the latest insane chapter produced by the Trump administration: FBI Director Kash Patel removing bestiality as an automatic disqualifier for bureau applicants. Then, dicussion of the case that's swept the nation in its aftermath: Lindsay Clancy, who recently had a mistrial declared in the case of her murdering her three children and later attempting to end her life due to what her defense deemed as a meltdown brought on by postpartum psychosis. Since the mistrial, multiple jurors have gone on media tours explaining what took place in deliberations -- deliberations that led to a 11-1 jurt deadlock. That has caused a firestorm of discussion on the holdout juror and how juries can often focus more on political statements more than the facts of the case at hand in high-profile trials.

The NFL returned in historic fashion this past week, producing the highest scoring Week 1 in NFL history. The penultimate game of the week took place at Metlife Stadium, with the New York Giants hosting the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Despite the Cowboys' recent dominance over the Giants over the past decade, Big Blue turned the tide thanks to a dominant performance in the trenches and efficient performances from Jaxson Dart through the air and Cam Skattebo on the ground. Dallas also shot themselves in the foot throughout the game with poor execution, undisciplined play and untimely turnovers. Erik breaks it all down on this episode of TRB Sports.
