About this episode

The episode explores The Daily Wire's film 'Lady Ballers' and its implications in the context of the MAGA movement and anti-transgender sentiments in sports.

This episode was originally released to Patreon subscribers on Mar. 12, 2026. Jared is on vacation, so everyone is getting it in the main feed this week! ~~ Mike and Jared took a break from Iran War coverage to look back on "Lady Ballers": a feature-length film The Daily Wire released in 2023, at the height of MAGA's efforts to stoke an anti-transgender moral panic over women's sports. The guys reexamine the movie as an artifact that helped deliver the MAGA movement we see in 2026 and an example of conservatives' efforts at counter-programming against a dominant liberal culture. We've never tried an episode like this before. Here at Posting Through It headquarters, we're curious what people will think. But we never forget the sage wisdom of Coach Rob: " Winners are just losers who win." Jared's album recommendation: PUP, Morbid Stuff , 2019
