    Ep. 11: Chris Landry - LandryFootball.com

    Aaron Arruda and Chris Mycoskie profoundly begin with their thoughts on President Donald J. Trump’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. After that, they discuss the historic week in professional sports (20:24) as players from the NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, and WNBA opted not to play as a way to bring attention to racial injustice and potentially bring about change. This week’s guest is Chris Landry (34:25), who has spent a lifetime in football as a coach, scout, and administrator. He shares his insight on the 2020 season, which will be bizarre in so many ways. The first college game is Saturday, as Central Arkansas faces Austin Peay in the FCS Kickoff. FBS teams get started next Thursday, Sept. 3. Landry also runs the LandryFootball.com, which includes podcasts, articles, and analysis. Our own Chris Mycoskie will join the team this season, hosting “Group of Five Live,” a podcast focused on the American, C-USA, Mountain West, MAC, and Sun Belt. This episode closes with Arruda and Mycoskie highlighting some other podcasts they love (1:15:31).   LINKS: Daniel Dale – Fact-Checking Trump’s Speech: https://bit.ly/3jn8NsP … Landry’s Football Conference Call: https://apple.co/32yrnYj … Church Politics: https://apple.co/2G7JpsX … TrumpCast: https://slate.com/podcasts/trumpcast … Crime Junkie: https://crimejunkiepodcast.com/ … Pivot: https://podcasts.voxmedia.com/show/pivot … TWiT: https://twit.tv/ … Beer Flight: https://roundtripbrewing.com/podcast/ … House of Hockey: https://apple.co/2ELQUEZ … The Ringer Podcast Network: https://www.theringer.com/podcasts … Big Screen Sports: https://apple.co/3hFohYN … Moment of Kluth: https://bleav.com/podcast-show/moment-of-kluth/ … Office Ladies: https://officeladies.com/episodes … The West Wing Weekly: http://thewestwingweekly.com/ … Why Today Doesn’t Suck: https://apple.co/3b3mz0O Lf7TbaxCZJq5TTkNkM8w

  2. Ep. 10: Dr. Brian Franklin - SMU Center for Presidential History

    Ep. 10: Dr. Brian Franklin - SMU Center for Presidential History

    Hosts Chris Mycoskie and Aaron Arruda begin with the biggest sports story of the week. In the first game of Wednesday’s Cincinnati Reds vs. Kansas City Royals doubleheader, play-by-play announcer Thom Brennaman issued a gay slur when he thought the broadcast was still in a commercial break (2:00). As it turned out, the MLB.TV feed carried his comment live. Brennaman left the booth during the second game, but not before Nick Castellanos hit a home run mid-apology. He’s subsequently been suspended from Cincinnati regional broadcasts, plus FOX pulled him from NFL games.   Then politics take over the show, starting with the selection of Kamala Harris as the Democratic VP nominee (14:20). That’s followed by a review of the Democratic National Convention (18:35), including the production value and the biggest speeches. This week’s guest is Dr. Brian Franklin from the SMU Center for Presidential History (36:45). President Donald Trump recently said Joe Biden is “against the Bible” and “against religion.” Brian looked back at Jefferson vs. Adams in 1800 and found similar attacks. Not from the candidates themselves, but from commentaries in propagandist newspapers. Looking at today’s hyper-partisanship, Brian believes George Washington would be baffled and hurt (39:15). Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton despised each other and likely wouldn’t have a problem with the current state of affairs. To contrast the first president of the United States with the man currently holding the office (40:49), Brian says Washington was incredibly conscious of every single thing he did and said, being very careful about his words and actions. Washington knew he was setting an example. It’s clear that’s not the case with Trump. He wants to get his point across and doesn’t seem to take great care in the manner he uses to do so.   LINKS: Keybeaux Music: https://bit.ly/31hrE2j … Thom Brennaman issues gay slur: https://bit.ly/2QgyzTf … Subsequent apology: https://youtu.be/Tnw0ZOgbrM4 … Brian Franklin on Twitter: https://twitter.com/brfranklin4 … SMU Center for Presidential History: http://smu.edu/cph … Ancestry Free Trial: https://www.ancestry.com/cs/offers/freetrial ...
