This week Melissa is joined by Michelle Beisner-Buck, ESPN’s feature reporter for Monday Night Countdown. In this lively, wide-ranging conversation, Beisner-Buck talks everything from the emotional connections to her feature subjects to marrying her stalker (Joe Buck) to the process of IVF (which in her case allowed her to have her infant twins, Blake and Wyatt). Besiner-Buck also proudly shares why her time as a Broncos cheerleader was so special.

Before the convo with Beisner-Buck, Melissa opens the show by explaining why a Carrie Underwood tweet projecting false feminism should have been Game Off. Later, Melissa awards this episode’s Do-Gooder of the Week to 49ers kicker Robbie Gould who has proactively uplifted a courageous child.
