In this chaotic and hilarious episode of Washed, former NFL star Leonte Carroo and Rolling Stone columnist Michael Embrich throw everything on the table—from picking their Starting 5 flag football players for the 2028 Olympics to debating if Google’s new Veo 3 AI video model is the beginning of the end (or just the start of better deepfakes). We pit 8 of the oldest U.S. Senators in Totally Accurate Battle Simulator mayhem, unpack Antonio Brown’s latest Bucks in the air moment, and explore JD’s wild takes—from loving furniture to somehow not killing the Pope this time. There’s a little self-improvement, a lot of NFL chaos (including a brutal callout of the league’s worst ex-player), and one serious message: loving baby oil is not, and should not be, a federal crime. If you’re into MeidasTouch politics, Miami Dolphins fandom, Rutgers alumni vibes, fantasy football trash talk, or just love when sports and politics collide with absurd energy, subscribe now to *Washed*—where every episode feels like game day and election night rolled into one.

I was Trump's esteemed guest at a veterans event — Steve Politi joins the Washed Podcast for a raw, funny, and surprisingly deep convo on Jersey sports, calling out nonsense, and what it really takes to run for office. From the Rutgers sidelines to the political trenches, we ask the question: can a sportswriter survive politics? Can a football player win city hall?

Mike breaks down how to actually run for office, Leonte grills Steve on his most controversial takes, and we talk about why so many athletes and coaches *don’t* make the jump to public service.

If you love Jersey, politics, sports, or chaos — this one’s for you.
