On this week's episode, Drew Jordan asks the hosts an... interesting question. Then, the hosts are joined by the first ever guest on the show, senior Madison McCutcheon. Madison was recently named a Todd Judy Ford Scholar Athlete of the Week. Madison shares what she's learned from athletics over the years and offers wisdom for younger athletes balancing school and sports. Finally, the hosts spend some time reflecting on what September 11th means to them, a generation born after the tragedy occurred in 2001. They share some pretty profound things as they seek to convey what it's like for their generation to grow up in today's world.
