Mike and Luke begin the show by letting you in on a friendly debate they had regarding Kevin Costner being an overrated actor or not. Mike gives us an NFL draft recap and shares his analysis on some of the better and more surprising picks of the first round. The guys also share their thoughts on episodes 1 and 2 of ESPN'S THE LAST DANCE, a documentary on Michael Jordan and the 1998 Chicago Bulls championship season. Specifically, they share their opinion on Scottie Pippen's response to the Bull's management over his contract and salary.

The guys discuss the future of our education system, post COVID-19. Mike and Luke both share how they believe colleges and universities are going to be hit hard, not just economically in the short term, but also in the long term in the very structure they have been operating.

Trump's recent actions to stop legal immigration and defund WHO (World Health Organization) have those on the left questioning his compassion. Mike and Luke challenge us to not make emotional decisions, but rationale ones.

Lastly, the guys ask "who is determining what is essential right now?" and "do we really want the government doing that?" Mike and Luke warn of the slippery slope of handing freedom over to the government in return for safety.
