On Baseball and Politics

Listen, I know how little I know about this shit. My laundry smells more like privilege than it does shit, cat piss, or spliff smoke. I mean we barely even know anything about the Mariners which is something we spend like six hours of our days obsessing over. Well, Zander knows quite a bit. We know how to complain about them, at least. But how could I possibly be expected to know about mere trifles like the war in Iran or Spirit Airlines, topics I only know about by the way they are described in New York Times headlines?Fortunately, Hayden shows up to save the day and share some of the opinions that current elected Democrats have decided are appropriate. He’s super knowledgeable about this shit, it appears, as are Zander and Alex and Jack, honestly. I think before you crucify us/me for our/my ignorance, though, please be honest with yourself.2:00 — Shaming Marine Layer podcast listeners5:45 — U.S.’s role in the Iran War-New York Mets analogy (Maptap-sponsored section)6:00 — Price of gas venting11:00 — The Italian-American Baseball Asset Relief Program 14:00 — Spirt Airlines shutdown18:30 — Evaluating the first attempted assassination of Trump22:00 — North Korea26:00 — Hayden explains how single-payer healthcare works in Europe30:00 — AIPAC42:00 — the Jordan-Tatum GOAT debate44:00 — John Stanton v.
