Listen "Not Today, Saban"
Episode Synopsis
It's a good day for Mary Katharine: The Georgia Bulldogs won their first National Championship in more than four decades, trouncing Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide in the fourth quarter. CDC director Rochelle Walensky said something that actually made sense, failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams flakes on President Biden's voting rights speech, and New York City mayor Eric Adams floats vaccine mandates for kids.
