I was Trump's esteemed guest at a veterans event — Steve Politi joins the Washed Podcast for a raw, funny, and surprisingly deep convo on Jersey sports, calling out nonsense, and what it really takes to run for office. From the Rutgers sidelines to the political trenches, we ask the question: can a sportswriter survive politics? Can a football player win city hall?

Mike breaks down how to actually run for office, Leonte grills Steve on his most controversial takes, and we talk about why so many athletes and coaches *don’t* make the jump to public service.

If you love Jersey, politics, sports, or chaos — this one’s for you.
