Cheese it! It's the Feds! When Trump is quoted as asking why "his" generals aren't more like Hitler's generals were and that calls up his 32 years of publicly praising the Nazis, and that's NOT the TOP Trump story that day, it's been a big day! The full implications of the raid at Mar-A-Lago, the possibility the DOJ is going for an 18 USC Code 2071(b) case against Trump, the chances of getting him disqualified from again holding federal office, the dismissal of the charge that the investigation is unprecedented, and the hilarious reaction from the right threatening "war." We'll also review The New Yorker story about Trump and Hitler, and why reporters keep burying important stories to save them for books years later. Plus Sports, Worst Persons In The World, and in Things I Promised Not To Tell: The day I did absolutely no work and broke the greatest story of my career - the trade of hockey superstar Wayne Gretzky.

In this episode, the fellas pick their 5-man Starting Rotations of baseball players that they'd like to head to the bar and have a cold one with. The first two picks are some obvious heavy hitters, but Jeff's first round pick was not what you'd expect (although it is a great pick!). Listen and decide for yourself who you think has the best Starting Rotation of drinking buddies.

Alex is joined by the following cast of characters: Chris, Jesse, Jon, and Josh. These has-beens share their thoughts on the world of sports from the past week.

The crew discuss the carnage in the wake of James Harden’s decisions (17:11), the return of the NHL (25:14), and Alex reflects on the arrogance of his Montreal Canadiens in placing Corey Perry on waivers (32:07).
