Here’s one way to imagine how I feel about the broader state of things most days: Imagine a cold lake of lava. A thin layer has just formed on the molten rock below, but it is still very hot; I am going 1997 documentary (? Remember to check before publishing that this is a documentary) Volcano For this, but I believe it would be very bad to see yourself splashing in that thing. Anyway, that’s your view. And then imagine I’m out there dribbling a basketball. This is how the days have been sitting with me for a long time.
And yet, overall and all things ConsideredI would say I’m fine. Our political moment, the upcoming election and all the terrible things happening in its shadow and on its margins, are terrifying on their own merits, and yet I’m not as filled with dread as I might have thought. Some of this, perhaps, is due to the wild and growing optimism that Drew feels about that election – an optimism so wild, in fact, that he wanted to put on an election extravaganza, complete with a sports/politics expert in attendance. Get involved. denny carterI was more on the “we should never talk about it” side of things, not because I don’t find things compelling to talk about, but because I’m superstitious, and I feel that way. That a very strong dribble could force me forward. out like john carroll lynch VolcanoAmazing actor, but it’s not what you want.
However, as it turned out, the election buzz was quite vigorous. We talked about who to trust and who not to trust when it comes to this (tedious, miserable) campaign and assessing the moment, some of the ways things might happen and why, and what, and for how long. Trumpism will be with us. You probably won’t be surprised to know that my opinion on that differs slightly from Drew’s.
And if that doesn’t appeal to you, there’s also the other half of the podcast! The first 35 minutes of the podcast is election talk, and then, after the break, Drew and I return to regular podcast content! Pick things up around the 38-minute mark and you’ll barely realize how terrible everything we discussed in the first 37 minutes was. we talked about jayden daniels Wild Hail Mary Game Winner on SundayReally good commanders, and the different ways we react to that type of game stimulus. We bid what we felt, but Aaron Rodgers will almost certainly be given a final, not-so-good farewell after last week’s embarrassing loss to the Patriots, to the point where we considered the Tyrod Taylor option. We moved from there to Funbag, where we tackled the classic Funbag-style question of whether we believe we’ve eaten a million of our favorite dishes, and whether that’s even possible, let alone advisable. . We also considered the best possible places to become a professional athlete, and I found myself saying some things that I immediately thought were weird: playing for the Lakers, and we considered the Jason Kapono option and, underappreciated. While doing so, the Derek Bell option was considered. Obviously, there are other unpleasant things to think about.
