We also reflect on Pete Rose's controversial exclusion from the Baseball Hall of Fame, discuss the implications of Springfield OH legal filings in Ohio politics, and critique the media's role in shaping public perception.

Nostalgia takes center stage as we reminisce about Cincinnati Reds games and icons like Johnny Bench and The Big Red Machine of the 70's.

The conversation shifts from FEMA's role in disaster response to the impact of automation on the labor market, with a deep dive into union influence and government intervention.

Additionally, we explore the ethical and societal debates around abortion, highlight the increasing lawsuit controversies in sports, and discuss cultural shifts in the perception of historical figures.
