Tim sounds drunk?

I fully agree with JVL on his opinion of Kash crashing the Olympic gold winning team’s locker room celebration. I don’t know much about the game, but turned it on a few minutes before their first goal. After that, I was fully invested. When they won in OT, I was ecstatic! Then I saw the Kash video and was immediately deflated. His antics stole my joy.

No excuses for not criticizing the 22 year olds. They need to hear it. It could influence them. That’s important in their young adulthood.
No excuses- not one.
Thank you JVL for your consistency and firm moral code. Too squishy, Sarah and Tim.

I love Sarah and JVL, but Tim makes the podcast so hard to listen to. Between the interrupting and inappropriate comments I have gotten to the point I don’t listen to any Bulwark podcast he’s on. I’m glad Sarah has her own podcasts, but I would like for her to have a more general one (instead of it being specifically about focus groups and legal issues).
