Chris and Sean are back — and they’re covering everything from fitness to foreign policy. Sean kicks things off with tales from his latest HYROX race over Easter break, then the conversation shifts to Rome as they unpack the death of Pope Francis. What kind of pope was he? Who’s next? And yes, they’re both rooting for Cardinal Timothy Dolan in their own papal fantasy draft.
Next up: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is taking on the Pentagon — and the deep-rooted bureaucracy won’t make it easy. Chris and Sean discuss the uphill battle to reform the largest federal institution in America.
Meanwhile, markets are wobbling, Trump’s tariff strategy is in flux, and Democrats… are doubling down on defending criminal illegal immigrants? Senator Chris Van Hollen makes a head-scratching trip to El Salvador to advocate for none other than MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia — and Sean doesn’t hold back.
Finally, it’s rapid-fire mode as the guys weigh in on the latest headlines and viral clips in a round of no-holds-barred hot takes.
