Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick continues to make headlines despite not being on the field anymore. Kaepernick will once again be in ads for Nike as they gear up for the 30th anniversary of their Just Do It campaign. It’s part of a campaign that plans to release a Kaepernick inspired shoe, t-shirt and will donate money to his “know your rights” educational campaign. Dan Beyer, managing editor for Fox Sports Radio joins us for more on the deal and all the reaction.

Next, have you jumped on the anti-plastic straw bandwagon? Well I have another ocean polluter for you to tackle and its worse. Cigarette butts are the most common item collected on beaches, while plastic straws rank 7th on the list. Josh Ocampo, reporter for Mic, joins us to talk about throwing away your dirty cigarette butts properly, how Americans are terrible at recycling and what happens when you put something in the wrong bin.

Finally, the confirmation hearing for Brett Kavanaugh to be the next Supreme Court Justice has begun and it started with some chaos. Protesters chanted and were arrested, Democrats interrupted and tried to get the hearing postponed and it all may be for naught as Republicans still maintain a majority. Stef Kight, reporter for Axios joins us for all the fireworks kicking off the hearing.
