The Welcome to episode 52 of the Charles C. W. Cook podcast.

It's January 24th.

Did you know that if you say that backwards it sounds exactly the same?

Well it doesn't.

Even in Nebraska.

I'm sorry about my voice. I've COVID which is very retro of me I know.

Thank you to everyone who sent me their best and worst sports moments by email.

Evidently, that is a topic that unites men

across the country and the world.

I read this week about years and years of hurt and do you

know what it made me feel better. It really did. I am now a lot more relaxed about the Jaguar's season and I'm even

looking forward to the next one. I suppose it's a bit like being really hung over. The day of the hangover you say you'll never drink again.

You can't imagine wanting a drink.

But then the day after that comes and by 6 p.m. someone offers you a glass of wine and you think yeah that's what I want to do and you forget all about the hangover until next time.

I'm now convinced that next year will be different.

Glorious even. I can't see how it could possibly go wrong. So tune into this podcast in January of next year to find out how it did.

Before I get to my guest, I want to rant a little bit.

Not about sports, no, not this week.

But about the state of our politics.

Now I think it's important for people who talk

publicly about politics to be honest about how they view politics and by that I don't just mean that we should tell the truth. I mean that we should make sure that we say all of what we think instead of just some of it.

In this business, sins of omission
