## Resource

Ep. 319 - A Nation of Slippery Slopes The Hall of Fame gatekeepers have spoken, and Bill Belichick isn't getting in. David and Brad dissect the petty jealousies and false moral superiority that kept the greatest coach in NFL history out of Canton. Then it's off to Minneapolis, where federal agents trying to enforce laws are being harassed by whistle-blowing martyrs with loaded guns (what could go wrong?). The guys tackle the impossible task of finding honest reporting on the ICE operations, debate the wisdom of pulling all federal support from cities that won't cooperate, and explain why showing up to confront armed officers with an air horn is a terrible life choice. Finally, the CDC reveals that between 2018 and 2023, Americans were far more likely to be killed by wasps and bees than by marine animals.
