Lance thinks the WNBA is going to continue to grow based on an assumption WNBA players are more relatable than their NBA counterparts.  Matt isn't on board with that idea just yet.  What will make the WNBA more successful?  Sexier players? More midwestern white girls?  Whatever the case, it appears more people can find something in the WNBA to fan over.

Is "Dark Woke" a new strategy for the left?  

The "pieces" discuss how frustrating and annoying the insurance industry is.  And, an interview with author Myles Flynn! 

The "Pieces" discuss what it means to be a good person.  Matt wonders if he's a good person because people tell him he's a "Good guy."  Lance wonders if he's a good person because he's known for "Telling it like it is" or "Saying what needs to be said."  

The "Pieces" have a free flowing conversation like they used to do on the pod.  Lance turns it serious and dark.  Matt says, "Chill L, all I want to do is surf."

The "Pieces" discuss the consequences of Trump's haphazard tariff plan.  What new risks do we face with Trump waving his tariff dildo in everyone's face?  Is the US becoming a rapidly declining world power?  

Political frustration leads to a doom narrative by Lance.  Matt pretends he doesn't care but somehow he has a lot to say.  These "Pieces" are inching towards thoughtful dialogue but as long as they keep referring to themselves as "Pieces of Sh%$" how can anyone hold them accountable for what they say?

Police officers make mistakes but do enough Americans acknowledge how challenging it is to be a cop? 

The "Pieces" try to figure out why the entertainment industry is producing more sexually graphic, violent and dark content for television.   Is this what people actually want?  Or, is exaggerated content just table stakes now given what people are consuming on the internet and in social media?

Pointing out hypocrisy is no longer interestiing but "The Pieces" do it anyway.  They discuss hypocrisy in big business and in themselves.  Are the liberals actually on to something?  Is the answer to all of our economic problems locally sourced products and services?  Should you boycott Amazon, Wal-mart and other megacorps?
