Summary
Peter goes deep on the Panthers’ decision to fire Frank Reich eleven weeks into his first season as head coach and details what’s not only behind the decision, but what and who Carolina could be looking at next. Then, Grammy and Oscar winning rock musician Melissa Etheridge joins the show to discuss her 50+ years of being a Chiefs fan, recent run on Broadway, and her unique point of view as a rock star Chiefs fan on the celebrity couple that’s taken both worlds by storm. Melissa and Peter talk ball, talk Springsteen, and talk life in the fast lane. Then in a very special moment, the guitar is broken out for a first (and likely only ever) live acoustic performance of a number 1 hit.
