Hey, it's Liz Kelly and welcome to the Ringer Podcast Network.

Over the holidays and into the new year, we'll still be publishing new shows to keep you up to speed with the NFL Playoff Race, the NBA and award season.

We've published some great episodes in the month of December, including two rewatchables on Happy Gilmore and the Godfather Part 2,

Chris interviewed Watchman Showrunner Damon Lindelof on the watch,

and the Ringer NBA show ranked the top 25 players of the 2019-2020 season so far.

Lastly, Happy Holidays from the Ringer.

David, sports talker Mike Francesca says his new show on radio.com will feature as much political talk as he wants.

What I want to know is if that show were happening today, how would Mike Francesca approach Donald Trump's impeachment?

Oh man, first of all, I just want to give unlimited amount of credit to Mike Francesca's decision to do politics on his new show.

He discussed his fascination with the subject, as well as decrying the current landscape of news media.

How there's always everybody's got a bias, there's got to left on one side and the right on the other side.

Nobody just calls it down the middle. I'm glad it does take somebody who's made a career.

Criticizing umpires, I guess, to call things down the middle. But I don't, I mean, listen,

anytime that you're like, anytime that you say you're going to call things down the middle, you're obviously lying.

Why don't I know what would be the right take here?

I feel Francesca is actually more frank about this than a lot of his sports friends,

because I feel when you see, you know, sports Twitter, sports writers, they're desperately grasping for the

non-partisan impeachment take.

Right.

Like, wow, what a sad day for the country.

Something like that, because you don't want to piss off those Trump fans who are in your audience.

But I feel Francesca has not really held back.
