TALK TO ME, TEXT ITThe sun is shining brightly in Alabama as we unpack three newsworthy stories that showcase the bizarre juxtaposition of our current reality.First, an astonishing military mishap in the Red Sea where a $56 million F-18E Super Hornet fighter jet slipped off the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier and plunged into the waters below. The incident occurred when the carrier executed a sudden turn, potentially to evade Houthi rebel fire, causing both the jet and the towing vehicle to slide overboard. Thankfully, crew members escaped unharmed, but the expensive warplane now sits at the bottom of the sea—representing a significant and costly loss for the Navy. The story raises fascinating questions about military protocols during high-tension situations and the financial consequences of such accidents.Moving to the political arena, we examine Illinois Governor JB Pritzker's alarming rhetoric calling for citizens to "mobilize" against President Trump. During an MSNBC interview, Pritzker doubled down on inflammatory language, declaring "Republicans cannot know a moment of peace" and drawing inappropriate comparisons between Trump's administration and Nazi Germany. The governor's call for "mass protest, mobilization, and disruption" without substantive policy criticisms appears deliberately inflammatory and potentially dangerous in our already divided nation. We break down why such extreme language undermines constructive political discourse and serves no productive purpose beyond inflaming tensions.Ending on a more hopeful note, Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred revealed discussions with President Trump regarding Pete Rose's permanent ban from baseball. Following Rose's death in September, there's renewed interest in potentially removing the career hits leader from MLB's ineligible list, which could posthumously restore his legacy. Interestingly, Manfred also expressed concerns about how immigration policies might impact international players from countries like Cuba and Venezuela, highlighting the complex intersection of sports, politics, and international relations.What's your take on these stories? Who do you consider the greatest baseball player of all time?

Buckle up for a jaunt through the skies with the dynamic duo Fig & RePete, known to the world as "Co-Horsts," as they prepare to take you on a slightly less than ordinary flight with Professor Hal Sundt. He's not just any guest; he's the mind behind "Warplane: How the Military Reformers Birthed the A-10 Warthog," and he's about to drop some knowledge bombs about Pierre Sprey, the visionary behind the A-10 Warthog. Imagine, if you will, a man so devoted to the safety of ground troops that he conjured up an aircraft so robust, it's practically a superhero of the skies, safeguarding lives for over five decades. This episode isn't just a history lesson; it's an adventure that zigzags from the drawing boards where the A-10 was born to the heartfelt tributes to Mr. Sprey himself. Expect a journey filled with twists and turns, including a wild ride on an A-10 simulator that's as close to flying as you can get without actually leaving the ground, and tank tests that seem to leap straight out of a movie scene. So, if you're in the mood for something that tickles your funny bone while enlightening you on the legendary A-10 Warthog and the remarkable people who brought it to life, Episode 102 is your ticket. Don't forget to check out the merch store for some unique finds, get briefed with a nine-line, and snag a book recommendation that's as riveting as the episode. Ready for takeoff? This episode promises amusement and insights in equal measure, without a single dull moment from start to finish.
