Show Notes

The NBA All-star was a bit underwhelming and was overshadowed by a lot of TV events including the SNL’s 50th anniversary as well as the NHL USA vs. Canada Game. However, that's not the only reason the star-studded sports event has lost its luster. Kristin and Brian discuss why the All-Star game is not as entertaining as it used to be but also ponder Giannis Antetokounmpo idea to instead have the All-Star game have a USA team play a "world" team comprised of players from other countries within league. Then retired Armey Colonel who has served 35 years in the military, Sheri Swokarski joins Kristin and Brian to talk about how she feels to have her service to this country denigrated because of who she is as a transwoman. She talks about her experience surviving Don't Ask Don't Tell in the early 2000s, her termination forms the military after transitioning, and how she feels about the decisions made by the current administration.
