What's up everybody?

Welcome back.

Happy Skews Day to you.

It's July 30th, 2024.

I'm Trey.

That's Mark.

Hey, Mark.

Hey, buddy.

How you doing?

You're good?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, welcome home.

You're out of town for a while.

That's right.

Yeah, and that was a big episode to miss, you know, last week, everything that was going on. So how did, uh, how did Corey do? He did fine. I don't think you made anybody mad. Yeah. He didn't say anything insane this time. or well, I'm sure he did, but not, you know, like the good, fun type of insane.

Not to like, what the hell was that?

Not talking about but sex right before he brings a

congressional candidate on yeah yeah speaking of time we had a congressional candidate on i one of my

podcast up to my feet today uh where the guest was jd shulton who we've had on our show before at least

once maybe a few times but back when he was running for Congress in Iowa and against Steve King, the Nazi. And he's a state rep now, but it was on, you should guys go to listen to it. It's a great interview with Pablo Tori finds out, but he's 44 years old and he just got called back up to play minor league baseball in Sioux City, Iowa. He was in the middle of having,

he was volunteered in music festival, two beers in like, hey, can you pitch tonight? And he went and won the game. And now he's just on the roster as a guy at his mid-40s playing baseball as a state legislator. And it's just. Kevin Costor movie, dude. They brought that up. Kevin Costor actually narrated one of his campaign ads back with A. He nearly lost his team. He never lost his team. Anyway, he's like, he's like, I'm a big fan of J.D. He's like, he's the cool J.D. And as a, you know, platonic idea of a politician to me because he doesn't like politics or want power.

He just wants to help his neighbors and play baseball. And I'm like, yeah, can everybody do that? It's always been kind of the problem, the inherent problem of politics is that a lot of time, not universally, but a lot of times like the people that want to do that job are absolutely not the people who should be doing it. It's like it almost was like if we could like forward. I'm pretty sure at least in some, it's during some time frames in ancient Greece and their democracy, like you could just be like elected to one of their positions or whatever, like whether you even wanted to or not. And then you just had to do it because, you know, back down. They'd probably throw you in a pit or something if you said no. But like, you know, something like that might work.
