Summary
Mike joins Matt Lewis for a lively crossover conversation that opens with deep dives into Huey Lewis puns before shifting into the Democrats' "affordability" message, why word wars matter more than policy wins, and how political optics collide with economic reality. They unpack everything from tariffs to AI dislocation to the future of the Democratic bench — and why charisma might matter more than infrastructure. Later, Mike breaks down the exploding sports-betting scandals in baseball and the NBA, how prop bets make cheating easier to spot, and why league integrity hinges on catching every idiot who thinks he can game the system. Plus: a brief remembrance of Parker Lewis, the Ferris-Bueller-for-TV that almost worked.

And so I do hijack the interview you're about to hear for about the first eight minutes by talking about the uvra of Ui Lewis a little bit. bit you know we get into the heart of rock and roll it's still beaten in cleveland actually i never say that on the show but i wanted to |
| 0:44.5 | i really wanted to i mean i should have thought to myself if this is it i could come up with some |

| 1:49.8 | it wasn't the same. It's the creakiness of the knees. It's the recovery after, say, doing what I |
| 1:56.5 | thought was a pretty normal thing. It was the diet or the lack of dieting and used to be a little leaner than now. |
