10-31 Segment 2 Ka Kaw! XFL St. Louis Battlehawks HC joins the show
Dirty of the XFL/ST....wait a second...nope! You can't say that anymore. Jason Spurgeon of the The XFans show which discusses the XFL and their league is joining us on this episode to discuss a few things that we have on the Table. First up Dirty drops the bomb that they are no longer the XFLSTL talk show anymore. They are now the Xfans show and the XFL called him directly to ask him to change the name of his program. And he and his co-host did do that. So from here on out, they are the Xfans! Next up Trump has been sued again. This time Letitia James of the SDNY has sued trump and his children for the fraud they committed with his charities and vouching from pricing on his properties that were lets say less than valuable as stated. So once again Trump in hot water for literally everything he ever does, which is always pretty shztty. Then the guys discuss a local issue that happened with their sister radio station and a local news anchor. This then leads to disussions on Valdamir Putin and his decision to call up draftee's for his Ukranian war. Only problem is that if you are forcing your citizens to fight and fill in the gaps, you aren't as big and tough as you have pretended. It's all coming undone and the guys are here to let you know! Finally what starts as some opinions that are not as popular as people think, Mark and the boys start discussing the Homerun chase going on in the MLB. At one time we had Bonds breaking records, but those days are tarnished...but should they be. Mark brings up the need for history to show that McGwire and them weren't using banned substances in the late 90's when they hit for those records. So Judge in NY might get there/did get there but he still has others to catch. All this and much more on this episode of the Q!
