In this episode the guys leave the "Red Seat" empty, recapping the first four episodes and introducing themselves to listeners. Steve shares an incredibly inspirational story of the death of his son and the amazing HR professional that helped him through it. Tony shares the moment his life changed forever when he decided to take debate in high school and the truly unique teacher that shaped the way he saw logic and argument. The guys discuss the recent SCOTUS ruling Ames V Ohio Dept of Youth Services and discuss the reverse discrimination cases coming.
