The Talking Ass

Denny LaVe is running for the United States Senate in Idaho. He is no ordinary candidate, however, unless you consider a Marine turned monk who transitioned into a successful businessman ordinary. Denny argues - convincingly - that his unique background will be an asset in Washington, as he is committed to serving the needs of everyday Americans. His campaign is marked by a focus on issues that matter to his constituents, and Denny critiques the current approach to foreign interventions, arguing that they often result in negative consequences for American citizens.

After some reminiscing of their very own Heated Rivalry, Kalle and Danny dive into the contentious topic of fighting in hockey.
