I had to use this sport as my vehicle to kind of explore the rest of the world.

Once I got out of college, just trying to figure my shit out.

Yeah, and I think we have a good combination here to talk about this because you come at this from the football angle and then exploring out of the, like, oh, my God, this is so unhinged.

Everything is broken.

And then I come at this kind of from the opposite direction, which is one of the things that's been really frustrating about the coverage of this is that, like, there's lots of very good coverage.

Pablo Torre, who's done a lot of very good work about this, and is, like, the guy who kind of instigated the whole, like...

Instagate is kind of putting it lightly.

I mean, he got the union president fired, basically.

Yeah, he got the union president fired after it was revealed that he was using union money to go to strip clubs.

That's like the tail end of this story.

Yeah, that's, like, the end of it.

That's where this is going.

Right.

But, like, the thing that's been frustrating to me about this is, like, the people covering this, and people have done a lot of good work, they're not people who cover unions at all.

Yeah.

And, like, that's, like, what I do, right?

And, like, I don't know.

Like, I think as much as this episode is going to be us screaming about this union doing...

unhinged shit like we're obviously like pro-union like i i i had my union that i organized on my show to talk about our contract against you it's like yeah i was um a member of the first box union that yeah god damn that's almost 10 years ago now um jesus christ

I feel so old.
