Fiasco is a history podcast for the co-creators of Slow Burn.

In our first season, Bush v. Gore, we examined an unmistakable turning point in American politics,

the 2000 election, which resulted in a high-stakes stalemate, ended with one of the most

controversial rulings in Supreme Court history.

So if you're trying to make sense at the present moment, check out Fiasco, Bush v. Gore.

Hello and welcome.

It's our number two of the podcast, another baseball hour of sorts.

So many athletic teams right now, professional sports teams, not playing, taking games off to protest, but not all of them.

And one of the teams that's not protesting or hasn't yet, the Kansas City Royals, and their All-Star player was asked about that.

And he said, listen, we provide separation from the real world as athletes.

And that's essentially why his team played.

We take a look at that.

That's Whitmerfield of the Kansas City Rolls.

Interesting comments about where sports really fall in life.

And we'll talk about those and some other surprises along the way.

It's coming your way right now here in our number two.

A Royal Flush.

Welcome in the beginning of another hour.
