Two Guys Talkin’ Fresno

Latest Episodes:

C & P Talk Grizzlies Apology and Mayoral Race May 30, 2019

Show notes

Paul and Craig jumped on the mic to quickly talk about big news happening in Fresno. First, the Fresno Grizzlies make national news after apologizing for a Memorial Day Video that painted a congresswoman as an enemy of the United States. Can anyone ever make a mistake in our culture anymore? Or has baseball in Fresno now become “One strike and you’re out!” And, with Lee Brand out of the next mayoral election in Fresno, Police Chief Jerry Dyer is in. What should be the requirements of a mayor? Maybe we need a job description so people know who truly would be a good mayor and who, maybe, not so much… Listen in to this timely discussion.
