Hello, I'm Jack Blanchard.

And I'm Dasha Burns.

And yes, it really is June already.

It is Monday, June the second, in fact.

Can you believe it?

Unbelievable.

I thought that was fake news.

It's real, real horrible truth. This is the Playbook podcast. If you didn't know these listeners,

you should have known it already. Dasha launched her new solo podcast yesterday. The conversation

just quickly tells us about it, Dasha. So the idea behind the show is to create a new kind

of Sunday political show, a fresh take on the old format,

have real conversations. Like the title says it all. I want to get into not just the news of day

with people who matter in our politics and our culture, but the why behind it all and really

learn about them, learn about their philosophy for the levers of power that

they are pulling. We'll talk to Republicans, we'll talk to Democrats, we'll talk to business

leaders. It's going to run the gamut. If you are having an impact or are pushing to have an

impact, we are eager to talk to you. And we'll also be talking to as we did this week with political colleagues.

This week, it was Kyle Cheney and Jonathan Martin about the behind the scenes of how they're getting

some of these scoops and really getting the inside details on the great reporting that we have in

our newsroom. Your main guest this week was TV start and MAGA political figure, Dr. Memma Oz. Just tell us something surprising he said to you in that conversation.

The one and only Dr. Oz was our inaugural guest. Look, one thing that surprised me, and in this interview, if you haven't listened to it, we talk about all sorts of stuff. We talk about Medicaid. We talk about drug pricing. We talk about what he wants to see, how he wants to use AI in our health care system. His background as a TV personality, as a surgeon. We talk about my appendectomy a little bit even.
