The Real Mike Rowe @mikeroweworks - Video: Michael Reagan died a few weeks ago, shortly after the New Year was rung in. He was 80.
When I learned of his passing, I went back and watched the conversation we’d had a few years earlier on the podcast. This occurred during the lockdowns, which means I didn’t have the pleasure of his company in person, but I nevertheless enjoyed every moment we spent, chatting about the lessons he’s learned from his famous father while growing up in Beverly Hills. I’m glad our paths crossed, albeit virtually.
Here's a short clip from our conversation that gives some insight on what it was like to grow up with Ronald Reagan as your father. I admire the respect Michael had for his dad, and for the many ways he protected and preserved his legacy. I also enjoyed his book, Lessons My Father Taught Me, which more than lives up to its title.

The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial - The MLB needs a real salary cap, not this glorified a luxury tax teams can just write off. Until there is one, we’re just going to keep watching the richest franchises buy championships. This isn’t the free market at work, or there’d be 20 LA teams. This is baseball oligarchy.

The Dodgers just signed Kyle Tucker for $60 million a year, $240 million total. Baseball can’t continue like this. I don’t blame the Dodgers for exploiting their competitive advantage — or players for taking advantage of the big money — but it’s awful for MLB.

The Redheaded libertarian @TRHLofficial - January 17th is Benjamin Franklin's birthday.
The Founding Father with the most personality in the room: printer, inventor, diplomat, scientist, and absolute king of witty one-liners and bizarre antics. To mark his 320th birthday (born 1706), here are 10 facts about Ben that prove he was equal parts genius and glorious weirdo:
1. He once tried to electrocute and roast a turkey using his electrical experiments for a fancy dinner party. Spoiler: He shocked himself instead, got knocked flat, and the turkey lived to gobble another day. Classic Ben—science with a side of chaos!
2. While ambassador in France, he wrote a satirical essay titled "Fart Proudly" (officially "A Letter to a Royal Academy"), seriously proposing scientific research to make farts smell like perfume. He argued the topic deserved more attention than the academy's pointless questions. Peak 18th-century trolling.
3. As a teen, he invented swim fins for his hands and feet, then swam 3.5 miles down the Thames River in London to show off—performing water tricks while friends watched from a boat. He basically invented extreme sports before they were cool.
4. He penned a cheeky letter called "Advice to a Young Man on Choosing a Mistress", recommending older women because they're "more grateful," better in conversation, more experienced... and their "lower parts" don't age as fast as their faces. Cougar advocate avant la lettre.
