Dalton and Lauren break down how it happened and their thoughts on how it was handled. Then, Bad Batch executive producers Jennifer Corbett and Brad Rau join us to talk all about season 2.

The debate and discussion is then opened with Dalton sharing stories of his time spent with actor Ahmed Best a decade ago, and Devan and Lauren sharing their thoughts on the polarizing figure.
