What's not new from the 'New Deal Forum' Ideas Summit: a losing 'Third Way' strategy

Were it not for reporting by Ross Williams at the Georgia Recorder, none of us might've even known a 'Third Way'-backed centrist Democrat 'Ideas Summit' even took place in Atlanta earlier this week. State Senator Jason Esteves - the lone notable Democratic gubernatorial candidate (sorry, Keisha; until you announce 'for sure,' that's how it is ...) along with Senator Elena Parent, Representative Tanya Miller attended. Esteves, in fact, introduced 'Third Way' vice president of policy Jim Kessler, so there's surely some connection to Esteves and 'Third Way.'To that I say "uh oh.""Uh oh" because centrist Democrats have been the force stirring the party drink for a long time now, and frankly, they're the reason the party keeps losing, but they think it's 'woke white progressives' causing the party to stub its toe. No; it's piss-poor messaging and they're not addressing household budget issues that affect middle income America - the issues progressives like Bernie Sanders, AOC, et al, have been addressing even when it was taboo to do so last Biden/Harris re-election cycle. So on today's show, I call "bullsh*t" to the lot of it, and if/when Senator Esteves does come on to tout his gubernatorial campaign, I'm thinking we'll have a spirited discussion about this. Until then ...

Woodlawn Giants. A story about a group of boys growing up in West Memphis, Arkansas, in the '60's and early '70's. The story begins with Daddy and Mr. Rick planting some pine trees. Those trees symbolize my lifelong friends, the Woodlawn Giants. Enjoy the trip back in time as the boys embark on several adventures to include Florida Ball, snipe hunting, and an attempt to jump the Ten-Mile Bayou. You will experience the "it takes a village" mentality that defined the everyday world the boys experienced under the watchful eye of Mrs. Mary Jane and Momma. Meet Big Phil Spicer the benevolent, larger- than- life patriarch of our gang. You will love the sassy Janice Smith, aka Skillet, quick and sharp with the tongue. Have a front row seat to the sniper operation where the entire gang comes together in a takedown of Old Man Donaldson. If you love to fish, you will enjoy the trot line stories on Dacus and Tunica Lake. Of course, anytime boys get together, there will be accidents and mistakes. We were not angels, and we learned some hard life lessons along the way. We all lived, we all learned, and it was a wonderful childhood. Miss you, Momma and Daddy. Miss you, Big Phil and the Woodlawn Giants. The pines still stand, and the memories live on.

As the Tour heads Down Under, new "Getting Heated" host Coco Ho leads three-time World Champ Mick Fanning and Momentum Generation icon Ross Williams through some not-so-easy subjects.  They start the conversation with a spirited debate on whether or not male and female athletes should have separate events.  From there the trio is on to World Title talk and the Rip Curl WSL Finals format, in which any of the Top Five could take out surfing's highest honor.  The conversation then drifts into some personal territory when Coco, Mick and Ross delve into who is more likely to win an event, a CT rookie or veteran Kolohe Andino, who is yet to win an event despite this being his tenth year competing at the highest level.  Finally, in "Going Deep" the crew ponder whether young surfers aspire to be the next Kelly Slater or if they would rather chase YouTube fame like Pipe legend Jamie O'Brien.  **HEAT 1: SHOULD THE WOMEN'S CT BE SEPARATE FROM THE MEN'S? **   **HEAT 2: PREDICTIONS ON WHO WILL BE IN THE TOP 5 FOR THE Rip Curl WSL FINALS**   **HEAT 3: WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO WIN A CT EVENT THIS SEASON, A ROOKIE, OR KOLOHE ANDINO? **   **GOING DEEP: IF POP CULTURE IS CHANGING THE WAY THE YOUTH ARE INFLUENCED BY SURFING, DO YOUNG SURFERS WANT TO BE THE NEXT KELLY SLATER OR DO THEY WANT TO BE THE NEXT JAMIE O'BRIEN? ** Learn more about your ad choices.

The Championship Tour gets ready to head Down Under for the start the Australian leg of the Tour, and three-time World Champ Mick Fanning and New School icon Ross Williams have much to discuss about this week on "Getting Heated." For this round of fiery banter, the legendary duo break down what it means for the resident Australian surfers that won't have to endure a strict, two-week quarantine before the start of the upcoming contest in Newcastle. Will these Aussies have distinct advantage? Will the field of international competitors surfer under the weight of so much room service? Or are these men and women already so good it'll be nothing more than a chance to dry out the gills? From there, Mick and Ross go deep on the subject of if there should be a former pro surfer on the Championship Tour judging panel. From progression to speed, power and flow, what would such an addition mean to who wins and loses heats? After that the boys debate whether or not there should be a big wave venue on the Championship Tour schedule as a bit of an equalizing factor. Given what John John Florence has done on the North Shore this week, and Ross's gig as his coach, you'll have to listen to see how this one plays out.  The new episode is here. Mick and Ross have something to say. The Championship Tour's ready to restart Down Under. It's time to fire it up on "Getting Heated." **HEAT 1:** ARE NON-AUSTRALIAN CT SURFERS AT AN AUTOMATIC DISADVANTAGE FOR THE UPCOMING AUSSIE LEG BY HAVING TO QUARANTINE FOR TWO WEEKS, INSTEAD OF SURF?  **Heat 2:** DO WE NEED FORMER PRO SURFERS ON THE CT JUDGING PANEL? **Heat 3:** SHOULD THERE BE A BIG WAVE EVENT ON THE CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR? **Going Deep with Billy Kemper:** IN BIG WAVE SURFING, DO YOU NEED A TOUR AND WORLD TITLE FOR IT TO ALL MATTER, OR ARE INDIVIDUAL EVENT TITLES LIKE JAWS, OR THE EDDIE ENOUGH?
