Once again, we find ourselves in an unprecedented election. And with all that's happening in the lead up to the big day, a weekly podcast just won't cut it. Get a better grasp of where we stand as a nation every weekday on the NPR Politics Podcast. Here are season reporters dig into the issues that are shaping voters' decisions and understand how the latest updates play into the bigger picture.

Listen to the NPR Politics Podcast on the IHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hello and welcome. It's our number two, our number two of the Malar podcast.

We thank you for being loyal.

Hey, by the way, before I forget, today on the other podcast, the fifth hour podcast,

a shameless attempt to get you to listen to that podcast as well, at the request of Gagon,

we are having on the CEO of the Babylon B, the satire website that got shut down by Facebook.

They've dabbled into sports, and we get a big kick out of it.

So if you want to learn how the Babylon B operates, that'll be on the fifth hour podcast.

But on this hour of the Ben Mather show, it's a baseball hour, no World Series

game to take a look at.

So instead, the debunking of former Astro GM, Jeff Loonow, and that infomercial he did

with the Houston TV station the other day, he claimed he was innocent as we anticipated.

Not so innocent.

Also, you've got to listen to the full hour here because we have a great story from a caller

who goes into detail about a confrontation he had with a starting NFL quarterback at a fast

food restaurant. We don't know if the story is true or not, but it at a fast food restaurant.

We don't know if the story is true or not, but it's a really good story, and it's in this hour

number two.

It's coming your way right now.

That was not supposed to happen.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour.
