Is it game on for Joe? Meanwhile the George Santos distraction tour rolls on with yet more revelations pouring in, including one of sexual harassment that he strongly denies. In the extended version of this episode Marion examines the Alex Murdaugh trial and curious journey of Lebron James from child star to all time basketball great.
