Lance thinks the WNBA is going to continue to grow based on an assumption WNBA players are more relatable than their NBA counterparts.  Matt isn't on board with that idea just yet.  What will make the WNBA more successful?  Sexier players? More midwestern white girls?  Whatever the case, it appears more people can find something in the WNBA to fan over.

Political frustration leads to a doom narrative by Lance.  Matt pretends he doesn't care but somehow he has a lot to say.  These "Pieces" are inching towards thoughtful dialogue but as long as they keep referring to themselves as "Pieces of Sh%$" how can anyone hold them accountable for what they say?

Police officers make mistakes but do enough Americans acknowledge how challenging it is to be a cop?

Pointing out hypocrisy is no longer interestiing but "The Pieces" do it anyway.  They discuss hypocrisy in big business and in themselves.  Are the liberals actually on to something?  Is the answer to all of our economic problems locally sourced products and services?  Should you boycott Amazon, Wal-mart and other megacorps?

Why do many American's devalue the teaching profession?  How can teachers possibly address the wide range of student needs in our society?

Why don't schools teach kids about money?  The "pieces" discuss whether personal finance should become part of the core curriculum in secondary schools.  Lance thinks the current lack of interest in financial education is possibly a conspiracy.  Matt wonders whether people would make the same stupid money mistakes even if schools taught them personal finance.  

The "Pieces" discuss the appeal of violent sports in America.  Does watching or participating in violence fufill some human biological need?  Does society give a crap about atheletes who put their bodies and brains on line everyday?  If you expect these two "Pieces" to have the answers  then you're new to this podcast.
