This week's guest is Sally Jenkins, the esteemed writer from the Washington Post.

I thought there was no one better to talk about what people were talking about this week with Serena Williams. I watched her final against Naomi Asaka. She lost the U.S. Open final, but such mired in controversy for her

getting three penalties, including a game penalty, that kind of put the match away for Asaka,

who was wonderful herself on and off the court. So much to talk about. And we're going to do that with someone I thought was the perfect guest. She wrote about it a column in the Washington Post. Sally Jenkins. Sally Jenkins coming up, but first a word from SimplySafe. I'm a big fan. Home security is paramount, and Simply Safe is the way to go. If the storm takes out your power,

simply safe. If intruder cuts your phone line, simply safe is the way to go. If you destroy your

keypad or sirens, simply safe will get you the help you need. It's, yeah, it could be overkill,

but it's home security system that's always ready for any worst-case

scenario.

It doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
