Episode Details

It’s the Friday news roundup! The team is talking about John Fetterman’s first on-air interview since his stroke — and the ableist response — plus the Penguins’ return to the ice. We also explain why Pennsylvania’s the best place in the world for fall foliage. (No, really!)

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this episode said Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was the longest tenured coach in the NFL. We fixed it, but thought you might wanna know — he’s actually the second longest. New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has been with that team for 22 years. So Tomlin’s gotta log a few more in the hot seat before he catches up!
