In the news this week, the Christmas Peloton ad has dominated the news, or at least the conversation at VB and Lightning's desks!

The Peloton wife's identity has not been discovered and the actor who played the husband says based off of his experience with the backlash, he's afraid for her if she's discovered. VB & Lightning once again debate the Peloton ad and take your calls!
