today kids might play one sport, right? It's really different. But if you're looking at somebody my age and you say that they didn't participate in sports you're almost always wrong. Almost all males my age played every sport. You know I'm exaggerating a little bit but you get the idea.

So no that's not it. My opinion is based on this: I've played co-ed sports. So co-ed soccer and co-ed tennis. And the co-ed soccer and the co-ed tennis were really really fun. Really really fun. All you have to do is make sure that the tennis player you're playing is about the same level or you know can hang with you and make sure that the soccer players are not that different. So the female soccer players tended to be the ones who could run. You know when I had a co-ed—I had a co-ed soccer team as an adult in my 50s and the women that I recruited ended up being like college soccer players. They had been and they were current marathon runners. So I just sort of accidentally recruited a whole bunch of marathon running women and many of them played in college. And so suddenly we had this powerhouse soccer team. You know you couldn't have—yeah you had to have mixed. You couldn't play just all men on the field. And it was really really fun, right?

So while I do think there's a place for you know every kind of combination of sports, I think what we need more of is the just-for-fun sports where everybody just plays people of their relative ability. Yeah you weren't competing for scholarships though. Yes and the competing for scholarships is a terrible terrible process. Yeah I think that competing for scholarships is awesome for the one percent of people who can get them. So for them it's great. For the rest of us it's just we're paying money for your kid. Why am I paying money for your kid if my kid isn't as athletic but the you know the college or whatever that that kid goes to pays a lot of money for athletics and maybe it doesn't you know make money for them depending on the school. Why am I subsidizing your child? Why is that right? Now I'm completely okay with your child excelling in sports and doing great but do you think I should pay for it? That's the only question. Like I want your kid to have every opportunity and do everything that they want to do. I want just as much for your kid as you do. I'm just asking you should I subsidize it or should you subsidize my kid who's got more problems because they are not good at sports? Now it's a weird situation.

But we have reached peak absurdity in that I think we've reached peak absurdity with both Fetterman and Biden. We'll talk about Fetterman a little bit more but don't you think that the fact that Fetterman and Biden are both legitimate Democrat candidates, that is peak absurdity? And I don't mean to be unkind for the differently abled. It's not about that, right? Anybody who wants to paint me with that brush, good luck. It's not about that, right? Yeah if Fetterman were blind do you think we'd be having this conversation? No. If Fetterman had one leg do you think we'd be having this conversation? No. And everybody knows that. Everybody knows that. And watching the Democrats argue that everything's fine with both Biden and Fetterman, you do feel that that is peak? Yeah right. Nobody's saying that Crenshaw can't do the job. So have we not reached peak absurdity? Would you agree that I'm calling the top? The fact that Fetterman and Biden are both considered legitimate candidates—forget about their politics. I'm not talking about any of their policy preferences. It's not even about that. But the fact that we're seriously considering both of those people, it's insane.

All right and also the Ukraine situation seems to be reaching some kind of absurdity like the bottomless pit.

All right let's—so here's some more absurdity. Don't you think that the Democrat policies on COVID have now reached peak absurdity? Would you agree with that? Call the people wearing masks outdoors by themselves. You know the still requirements for things. Yeah I mean almost everything. Energy policy. Energy policy clearly has reached peak absurdity. Yeah. And but correct me if I'm wrong all of these things are sort of coincidentally reaching—DEI, they're all reaching—CRT—they're all in peak absurdity right before the midterms. Is that a weird coincidence that the absurdity is happening all at the same time? Because it—correct me, am I wrong? Give me a reasonableness check here. Now I'm going not on any data. I'm going entirely upon just what it feels like if you read the news every day. What it feels like is all of those things that when they first came out they sounded a little sketchy to you but you were never sure how big they would get, right? You didn't know how big anything would get. So when things were little and sort of squirrely you ignored them. Well it was squirrely, it was kind of small, and then it just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger until the trans stuff couldn't get any more than whatever it is. Would you agree there's nothing more? Is there now? I'm not arguing what's good or bad about it. I'm just saying we've got to the limit of more. There's nothing more, right? So that's the peak. If you think it's absurd then it's peak absurdity. If you think it's all good it's reached the peak goodness I guess. That would be the other view.

All right let's talk about the progressives. There was this brief shining moment yesterday when I think it was—I saw a tweet saying that the progressives were going to be anti-war for Ukraine similar to some of the right-wing people. And that maybe for the first time and this was really really unusual and special it could be that the
