The following recording may contain explicit language. I can't get more explicit than may. Let's just say it may.

It's Thursday, December 6, 2018 from Slate. It's the gist I'm Mike Pasca. You know it's been getting on my nerves a little bit.

That you didn't think I'd say Sherrod Brown, Democrat from Ohio. I guess the fact that he's been even on my nerves means he's been in the news so good for him and his brand extension.

But first of all, he has this line that he uses quite a bit to explain away his political ambitions. I guess the line also positions him alongside the every man and he apparently thinks it's quite clever.

My dream was to place center field for the Cleveland Indians that door obviously is closed, but while you're 66 years old and from what I could tell, highly susceptible to the split finger, but I guess one interviewer once chuckled indulgently.

So Sherrod Brown says that again, my dream was to place center field for the Cleveland Indians. I and again, I didn't dream on my life to be president. Let me guess. Let me guess.

Designated hitter for the Minnesota twins. Did I nail it? I wanted to place center field for the Cleveland Indians that okay, so that is just relentless message discipline and a seven term member of congress and three term senator needs relentless message discipline to get where he is.

But even when he has one message, he makes sure it's repetitive yesterday. He had a letter to the editor of the New York Times, not an op ad, not a quote, a letter to the editor.

He chimed into mock one of the times staff conservatives and it wasn't even Ross douth it. Nope, Sherrod Brown writes David Brooks and it's not the economy stupid rights. It's not jobs, jobs, jobs anymore.

It's relationships, relationships, relationships. Now at this point, I would have loved if Brown, in fact, I would have gone for Brown in 2020.

If he had just taken on David Brooks, how David Brooks turns everything into his hobby horse of community relationships, bullying alone, spiritual connections.

Right out of one the I ride hard for Sherrod bumper sticker. I'd have hosted the Sherrod save America podcast. If you just taken down Brooks for being Brooks, but no, it was all about saying something that Sherrod Brown wanted to say and he wrote it's not relationships, relationships, relationships.

Actually, it's wages, wages, wages and respecting the dignity of work. Sherrod Brown, Cleveland, the writer of Democrat is the United States senator from Ohio.

Oh yeah, by the way, in addition to always saying the Cleveland Indian thing, I've never heard an interview with senator Brown where he didn't talk about respecting the dignity of work.

This used to be a line from the GOP or get tough on welfare cheat Democrat. These people need to get off the dole and respect the dignity of work. Yeah, some jobs have dignity,

armeumatic teacher, stone Mason, how about Instagram celebrity, meh, on the dignity front. Most jobs are good, not because they make you feel good about doing a job, maybe a little bit of that, but mostly because they pay you to do the job and money can be exchanged for goods and services.

And he does go to the dignity of work trope more than the Cleveland Indians one. I don't know why I think that separates him from the rest of the pack who obviously are for work and for jobs and for a strong economy, but they don't use the word dignity as much.

I wonder if under the surface, there is a message of what of like traditional manliness, that dignity.
