Tina, RIP. Bill Lee, RIP. Zone of Interest DeSantis announces Tim Scott announced too, btw An increasingly crowded and unimpressive field Our old pal Ethan Strauss joins Why does Joe keep saying that…thing about Iraq? “Trump is sharper than Biden” An interregnum on Ike Turner
I am an East Bay (CA) native and die-hard baseball fan. I grew up 15 minutes from the Coliseum. The A's were always my team. I rode with them through the Matt Stairs and Olmedo Saenz years (in addition to all of the great years). When I lived in Chicago in 2008, I listened to Bill King turn the radio play-by-play over to Ray Fosse in the 7th inning (or so) of a drubbing by the Rays in Tampa and suffered through that experience through the final out (RIP Foss!). I was starting to enjoy watching Ruiz, Noda, and Rooker develop as quality big-leaguers this season. My A's fan bona fides are beyond reproach. But, when I read that Glen had been fired, I simply knew deep down that I could feel no more joy supporting this team because of the organization's lack of grace and forgiveness.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!! Ethan Strauss! One of my favorite guests! Really lovely interview guest and engaging writer. Can’t tell you the number of times I set out to read a paragraph and became totally engrossed.
I really love Ethan's breakdown of "okay, well, I could envision if there was some tangible tradeoff for policing language (i.e. if Oakland looked like Singapore) I could come around to seeing their POV, but it's the exact opposite." Brilliant take.
Tina Turner did a massive marketing campaign for the Australian NRL (National Rugby League). It was called Simply the Best. It was absolutely massive and incredibly successful. Plus she got to hang out with a lot of very muscled young footballers.
Desantis’ launch was one of the lamest I’ve seen in years. He’s going to have to find some momentum and perhaps a personality if he’s going to take down the big orange guy! I just don’t see that happening
I really hope the guys will cover the craziness that is happening in the Texas Legislature in the next episode. To give a preview, the speaker of the house was badly slurring his words, the Texas AG ( Ken Paxton) was just impeached by the house, probably for his multiple indictments (federal and state). To make matters worse, Paxton allegedly slept with a senate staffer in another senators office, and Paxton's wife will have to vote in his trial in the senate as she's a senator.
I’m going to become a Mother’s Day truther. Who’s with me?
So when is someone going to come clean about forgetting to hit record on that Mother’s Day zoom? Looking at you Matt...😜
Reminder that when Ike Turner died one headline was: Ike beats Tina to death!

Strauss just coming in and out-"be brave, call bullshit" the "be brave, call bullshit" crew. MFer wrecks house whenever he's on.
There should be another pod where they just do these obits for people I've never heard of. We'll call it...the Obituary Column
RIP Tina. The dome has a little less thunder this week.
Moynihan has only been to shotgun weddings where there are no options

This then led to the Mad Max work.
So she has an outsized fan base in Australia.
Around 28:00 minute mark, someone needs to remember to mute the mic when they take a bong hit.
