  Speaker 1: Welcome to Check with Chip, brought to you by Operation

  Speaker 1: Blue Dot Red, turning the Blue Dot Red one podcast
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: at a time. Some of you are finding me on Facebook.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: The kfab podcast page does not allow comments, so I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: post the podcasts on Facebook in case anyone wants to comment.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: John said Chip Maxwell is a sexy guy. Ah, thank you.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I guess John may need to broaden his social circle
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and raise his standards. If I qualify as sexy, I'll
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: make sure my wife and daughters know that my daughters
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: will become physically and violently ill. On the spot, Mike
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: challenged my concern for the future of the WNBA if
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it stays woke and accommodates negative drama. On the contrary,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Mike said, the WNBA loves the controversy. Red States hated
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the WNBA and now they watch. I thank Mike for
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: chiming in and reply. I agree that more people are
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: following the WNBA. I did not pay attention until the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: misdemeanor assaults and political debates started turning up in the news.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I just worry that it's for the car crash, hockey fight,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: cat fight reason I mentioned in the podcast. Maybe the
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: WNBA can leverage the increased attention to its advantage by
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: dropping the woke agenda and reining in the lamebeer Mahorn
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: thugball fouls. If WNBA leadership is smart, it will adopt
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the Cunningham approach and say we love all people, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: for reasons of fair play and safety. I'm thinking of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: general physical harm and of the female high school wrestler
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: sexually assaulted during a match by her trans opponent. We
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: are a league for people with female DNA. Jepra said
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: she enjoys highlights of the amazing Caitlin Clark and thinks
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Cunningham is a nice player, but believes the uptick in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: viewership is driven by people watching for fights and controversy.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I'll have to be more diligent in checking Facebook. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: confess to a generally get off my lawn approach to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: social media. Twenty years ago, I saw Andrew Breitbart speak
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: at a conservative event, and he encouraged everyone to engage
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in social media. So I waded into what was then Twitter.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I thought I had fallen into a sewer or a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: battle royal and pro wrestling, everybody attacking everybody, vulgarity, profanity, hey, viciousness.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: When my kids were in high school and asking to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: set up Facebook accounts. My recurring answer was no. Then
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I said yes, but they had to friend me. No,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: but they decided that price of admission was worth paying.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I later learned there are secret places you can go
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, but at the time I would stumble into
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Facebook once or twice a year to try to create
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the Orwellian impression that I was in there looking over
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: their shoulders. Thank you Facebook contributors. If you like what
