  • Boohoo MLB is rigging the game they way you want

    Steve, I enjoy your podcasts but you’re way off this week crying about the MLB playoff set up. Great teams perform when it counts. Running up wins against the many chump teams is not that impressive. Did you watch these series? The Braves couldn’t put any runs on the board. They deserve to be playing golf right now as do the Dodgers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Has The War Against Iran Made The World Safer? Expert Weighs In
Q: How close do you think the eventual deal will resemble the JCPOA, if it is reached at all?
There is a view that a framework could resemble elements of the JCPOA but with tighter controls on enrichment, a different timeline, and a more explicit framework for enforcing restrictions while addressing new regional dynamics, potentially resulting in a mixed agreement that is not a full re-creation of the JCPOA.
Has The War Against Iran Made The World Safer? Expert Weighs In
Q: What are some of those biggest points of contention that both sides still face?
Key sticking points include the Iranian nuclear program and enrichment limits, the status of the Strait of Hormuz, and the balance between sanctions relief and concessions on ballistic missiles and restitution. Both sides may also differ on how quickly and how far sanctions should be rolled back, and whether a durable framework can be established without a full, verifiable agreement.
BREAKING NEWS: Poll Reveals Major Effect Of Eric Swalwell Dropping Out Of California Governor Race
Q: Did endorsements like Trump's backing affect the race significantly?
Endorsements did not radically alter the race in a primary setting, indicating that California voters may weigh multiple factors beyond endorsements when choosing among close candidates.
BREAKING NEWS: Poll Reveals Major Effect Of Eric Swalwell Dropping Out Of California Governor Race
Q: What role do undecided voters play as primary day approaches?
Undecided voters remain a critical swing group, and their eventual decisions could decide the outcome, particularly as endorsements and demographic shifts influence which candidates gain traction.
BREAKING NEWS: Poll Reveals Major Effect Of Eric Swalwell Dropping Out Of California Governor Race
Q: How did Swalwell's departure change the balance of support among the top candidates?
Swalwell's exit redistributed his supporters, with Becerra gaining the most momentum especially among voters over 50, while others like Katie Porter and Matt Mahan also saw modest gains as the field adjusted.
