gates join every Tuesday, right around 4 p.m. Eastern time by the great Mel Kuyper Jr.

Hello, Mel. Hello, Phil Todd, great to be with you.

0:25.8

And of course, his running mate Todd Nick Shea Todd Todd Todd, what's going on?

0:30.1

He gets great and I get running mate. I got to see all right, man. That was a bad choice

0:33.8
