Episode Details

This week on Look Forward, during the biggest political week ever, Andy decides he's too good to be on the show so Jay brings in an interchangeable ringer, Brad. He is one of the hosts of the popular video games news podcast, Dense Pixels, that's a part of the TNP Studios network (densepixels.com). The guys sit down to discuss Jeff Flake's coming out party, GOP shameless arbitration legislation, Robert Mueller's first round of indictments for Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos and what he means to the entire Russia collusion story, China's possibly new Mao, and two fantastic "This week in stupid" stories!
