Daaah!

What's up, everyone? Welcome to TYT. I'm Anna Kasperian, and I'm super excited for today's

show. Not necessarily for the topics, although there are topics you should know about, but because we

have a brand new guest host on Wasney Lombray, who is a culture and NBA writer over at Athletic,

but he also has a lot of brilliant points to make about politics, which is how I learned about him.

Wasney, thank you so much for joining us.

Anna, thank you for having me. This is incredible. I've been aware of you guys for

man, I would say at least seven, eight years now, and I've watched you guys. I always love you.

I just can't remember the first time watching you guys on YouTube, and the really muscular way

you guys would deliver liberalism, and left politics. I was just like, man, it's just so different

than the sort of bookish, timid way that typically you see people defend normal working people,

and so it's really cool to be on here. But I do want to say first, and you will understand why I

have to say this, Anna, to any Armenians who might be watching this. I'm not here on the account

of the Turkish government, but President Irdevan. I'm here to support my great friend Anna Kasperian,

Thank you. Thank you for coming on. We actually have some portion of our audience,

it consists of Armenians who understand that this show has nothing to do with Turks, or

I'm getting so. And content. And I also met you of course through our mutual friend, Michael

Brooks, who tragically passed away. But Michael and I would always talk about how much we wanted to

see you on this show. So thank you for taking the time to come on.

Hey, man, I'm just, I'm just really excited to be on here. Of course, yes, we did meet through,

Michael, I do remember the first time we went out, we had dinner and drinks with Nando Villa,

another great friend of ours. And just that was one of Mike's gifts was bringing people together,
