I don't know if politics discussion has always been Long Time Listener Call Ins To Sports Radio 610 but by God it's exhausting. People are just straight up doing impossible trade fantasies now
There was an amazing meme among a dozen of us Sox fans at the time. All these rumours about prime-ish Griffey and Hawk Harrelson would espouse on the air “but where would he play?! We have a CF/RF/DH etc”

“You know Derrick, I always said this guy is a dweeb. He’s washed up. I’ve been saying it for years. Finally the rest of youse is coming on board. His fastball beens too slow for a decade. This isn’t the Grapefruit League. Come on!”
(I hear it very clearly in a strong Boston accent).
"Hey John and Lance, long time first time! So i was just wondering if y'all think the front office will finally pull their heads out their asses and trade Aaron Brooks for a couple of all stars? I'll hang up and listen!"
Honestly it's pretty funny/terrible for them to be freaking out about an upcoming election and not, you know, the fact that he is the current sitting president
