FYWYH vents about the poor state of the entire COVID-19 response. Months and months and no progress made, and of course utter incompetence from the White House.  Also, despite Roman's assurances Jeff has little confidence in the polling numbers that indicate Biden will cruise to a decisive victory in November.  Warning, little in this pod will uplift you. 

With a chopper literally overhead, and protests continuing to rage across the U.S. FYWYH delves deeper into the turmoil facing the nation after the George Floyd murder.  We discuss generations of failed policing policies, and take a closer look at the idea of abolishing the police. What does that even mean anyway, and what does capitalism have to do with it?  Friend of the show Clark breaks down the work of Prof. Alex S. Vitale, who's 2017 book THE END OF POLICING seems like required reading as we attempt to understand this moment. 

Now that the hype has started to wear off on ESPN's Michael Jordan hagiography THE LAST DANCE, two lifelong NBA fanatics break down the epic ten-part docuseries. What did the series cover well, and what did it miss out on? Did the film's portrayal of Jordan's talent and mystique feel authentic?  How much has the NBA game changed in the 22 years since MJ buried that jumper in Utah and walked off into NBA immortality? Finally, does Jordan's nasty, dickish personality stand the test of time? FYWYH goes deep on these and other questions about the film and NBA basketball, including the inevitable GOAT conversation.  WARNING, this pod is not for casual NBA fans or for people who don't know what 'hagiography' means, it will only hurt your brain while you listen.
