Matt Welch from the great Fifth Column podcast stops by to discuss his role in that 3 man monster, his history in the business, and issues of the day. Podcast topics include, but are not limited to:

* Is Matt the Ernie Johnson of Fifth Column or its Paul McCartney?

* Are you now, or have you ever been a libertarian???

* Is Fifth Column libertarian? Or something else?

* What was Matt doing in Hungry during the 1990s?

* The post Berlin Wall era vs. the post 9/11 era

* We talk about my article on the 9/11 era in sports vs. today’s team-endorsed messaging

* Leagues and teams are externalizing their internal issues with workforce homophobia

* Welch is, sadly, an Angels fan. How does he feel about these calls to trade Ohtani?

* Is Ohtani really like if Patrick Mahomes was also Nick Bosa? Or is it different?

* The A’s are sad (Was Moneyball as a business strategy missing the forest for the trees?)
