Show Notes
Today's Cast: Dan, Stu, Greg, Chris, Billy, Amin, Tony. It's a Greg Cote Wednesday, and he is coming in fired up after he was excluded from our Tim Walz interview yesterday. It is also his book release day, so he has a little extra energy. Not to mention that his son, Pro-Porn Chris, has been weaponized by the right. Amidst all of the madness, Greg tells us why the fans that interfered with Mookie Betts at the World Series game last night should be banned for life, why the Cotes are a pro-corn family, and how eggs are breathable. It's an all-time classic of a Greg Cote hour that ends with the perfect punctuation.
