  Tim Tebow, Urban Meyer and the Christian Nationalist Surge at Ohio State

  Oct 2, 202645 min

  When candidates cosplay as football fans and QBs become a passport to the hearts and wallets of vulnerable Americans, the wrong people can get rich and powerful off sports. Electrician turned independent journalist D.J. Byrnes has pranked Buckeyes "fan" Vivek Ramaswamy, caught Urban Meyer in a lap-dance scandal and will go to trial over Shrek's private parts in the name of free speech. But nothing shocked Ohio's muckraker-in-chief quite like watching a college-football powerhouse combine the enterprises of church and state. • Subscribe to D.J.

And what was Pablo talking about with Adam Silver at that party? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  We Investigated the Christian "Scam" Fronted by Tim Tebow

  Sep 24, 20261h 17m
