Back by popular demand, we dedicate our entire episode to our Courage or Cringe segment. This week: McConnell, Mandalorian, Mavericks & Mandating!
1. Can the Senate minority leader attach moral responsibility to an act that he nevertheless chose to acquit?
2. Actress Gina Carano finally succumbs to cancellation, was it warranted or way over the top?
3. Did the Mavs, nail it, or blow it with their contribution to the National Anthem conversation in the NBA?
4. And does mandatory covid testing for the friendly skies leave us safer or does it signal the death knell for an already bruised and battered industry?
