fucking something more on the nose about this man literally will leave your ass stranded in the freezing cold and he'll be like i don't i mean you know it's not his fault uh yeah theresa lee was saying it's like very clear like rhythm of abusive relationships where like the person withholds their affection and you like pursue them because right because you want to achieve their affection again um anyways that's a bunch of people with like fractured relationships with their parents like projecting on each other but like now in a political sense too where donald trump's is everyone's emotionally unavailable father yeah why do old people love him so much that's very strange because he doesn't use words like emotions or like he's not, he still exists in the reality

where like people would be like, I don't know, man, you know, Bill's been kind of messed up since the war rather than like he has post-traumatic stress disorder. You know what I mean? Because back then it's just, I think it's just different sets of how to like explain the world or people's behavior. And it's just like, it's easier when Donald Trump will just be like, that scientist's a bum, rather than... What a broken generation. The Trump-Biden fridge quiz was trending from the New York Times. They put up a picture, and you had to guess based on the picture of the contents of someone's fridge

whether it was a Trump voter or a Biden voter. One of the dumbest things I've ever seen on the New York Times. You can't obviously tell shit about anyone's politics based on anything. This is almost like it's a feels like it could be a piece of satire of the new york times's election coverage where they go to like pennsylvania and say like on the ground it's feeling like there's a lot of trump supporters like from in front of a trump supporters house it's like yeah well you're using like a one off store like one off anecdote to

make that observation I look if they have Heinz ketchup or Hunt's ketchup wait who's Hunt's ketchup Trump like a Trump fridge there was one fridge just now that had Hunt's ketchup and I said that's Trump

and it was right someone was actually's Trump. And it was. And it was right? Wow. Yeah, someone was actually telling me, I think it was a listener. I feel so bad. I think it was on the Discord. But somebody was saying how their aunt, their conservative aunt, since 2004 has boycotted Heinz. Oh, because of Kerry. Wow.

So, yeah, we forgot. People are petty with their fucking ketchup so yeah you know i will gladly take take that uh as a liberal product or a progressive product right right right wow that sucks for trump supporters anyways the new york times is dog shit the dodgers won the World Series. Yes! In what was one of the... Did you watch this game? Yeah, maybe.

That was one of the strangest games of anything I've ever seen. Yeah, okay. So, first of all, the devil raised. Tampa pulled a guy who was pitching maybe the greatest game I've ever seen someone pitch. Blake Snell was a fucking us up like the dodgers looked so like silly like they'd never held a baseball bat like that's how nasty his stuff was and then they pulled him while he was still just like embarrassing the dodgers and they immediately got the winning runs. It was like, yeah.

Just like that. That was like the second time in this series where the manager seemed to be making a decision that everyone in the park like the announcers as it was happening was like, this is, huh? What's that movie?

There's like one of those parody films where a character does something and then they show like everyone on earth slapping their forehead in disbelief movie there's like one of those parody films where a character does something and then they show like everyone on earth slapping their forehead in disbelief i think naked gun or something like that which is like what yeah we've had these pitching decisions we were like what the oh my god no like the collective fan bases uh were in disbelief but yeah where they brought jansen in in the ninth inning in game four in a game that like they just kept like going back and forth with the wind and they bring in the guy who has like a long history of blowing leads but apparently that's something that like sports analysts are

saying is happening more and more because managers have gotten like gone too far in the money ball direction where they're just like off of numerics and not watching the game with their eyes. Right, and that's why I felt like I saw a few articles about how the sabermetrics era is ending quite rapidly now because we're starting to see an over-reliance

on it versus just your instincts as a manager. I mean, it should be a balance, like anything. I mean it's like it should be a balance like anything yeah i think it's better for identifying players like yeah for sure rather than like when you're in game i feel like that's where you have to have that x factor of experience as a player manager or whatever within the game to be like there's a there's another vibe to this that cannot be just sort of fleshed out through statistics alone. The main thing that Sabermetrics, I think,

like its big legacy is that these guys now have like supernaturally good sense of when a pitch is in the strike zone or not. Like that's such a valuable thing that's like kind of boring, like a guy who walks a lot, but it's like so important. And they figured that out to value that to value that shout out to you know mookie bets too that was just a great way to cap it off we knew it we called it uh mookie bets great bowler great athlete and uh used his athleticism to win the game for the dodgers by yeah basically it was like a not he didn't steal home but like the dude like grounded out

like to 10 feet in front of home plate gone yeah and bets was like it wasn't even close he was already across home plate and what like celebrating what about the confusing part of the night when they go uh coming in at third base is Edwin Rios. Yeah. Justin Turner. Okay, so we don't know what's wrong with Justin Turner. The Dodgers, if he's not their best player, he's top three. One of their best hitters, great third baseman, which is a position that you really need to be locked up,

especially in the late innings of a deciding World Series game game and they pull him he's not on the field he's not in the dugout like he didn't injure himself everyone's like what the fuck just happened and then at the after the win we find out that he had tested positive for covid in the eighth inning and moments later, he was back on the field celebrating without a mask on. It was like, what the fuck is actually happening right now? He's superhuman. He must have the Trump vaccine. That's why he was out there, folks.

That's what you can do. You can test positive for COVID in the eighth and be out there by the end of the ninth and you're fucking celebrating. What are they going to do? Is the team going to quarantine now? Because your man's is out there. Yeah.

But who knows the way these teams act and these businesses are moving that they're like, I don't know what we're going to keep Justin Turner in Texas when we got to get back home. Like what the, I don't know. I really, yeah,

that's, that was a, that was a very, um, uh, fucked up moment where you're like oh my god like god i mean baseball players uh i've said it before uh are are known for being uh the dumbest athletes um you know because just just generally like they don't have a big like college sports scene like people don't like watch the college sports scene. People don't watch the College World Series. So it's just people get drafted out of high school.

Right. If you're a baller, dude, you didn't play college ball because you got drafted out of high school. I remember we had a lot of Mike Stanton, Giancarlo Stanton went to my high school. It's also not a very cerebral game, I feel like. I feel like sometimes like think overthinking it can like fuck you up a little bit yeah but like this whole thing of like

that's how i remember all the baseball players talked like you know when everyone's like announcing what they're doing initially oh shit dude you got dropped there's a baller oh where's he going fullerton all right we'll see i mean you know i don't want to knock that but like homeboy got drafted by the yankees there's a kid went to my house got drafted by the yankees like out of high school yeah yeah yeah it did not work out did not work yeah i mean it rarely does but no but it's funny how often you see that like in your mind you're like oh shit but you realize a lot of people get drafted out of high school yeah um yeah doesn't doesn't cost them all that much because the draft is like 20 rounds um they it was also did you were you uh off celebrating or did you stick around to hear

the commissioner of the league yeah i mean the commissioner gets on mic and they're saying that it was because his he had like a weird earpiece, like PA, like delay thing going on. He sounded shit faced. Like he sounded so drunk. I've never heard someone like on TV just sound because he would be like, he would like start just like slurring

in the middle of a word. And he was also like, there was a moment where when he was first introduced, He would start just slurring in the middle of a word. And he was also, there was a moment where when he was first introduced, he couldn't speak for how loud the boos were in this stadium. It was like 10% full. It was just an incredibly entertaining game that was very strange and very 2020 how how weird and fucked up it was there you go jack dorsey's trending because he's got a long beard now he's got a long fucking beard twitter depending on what part of twitter you're on it's either been like yo what's up with jack dorsey's

beard or it's like political twitter with like yo ted cruz is putting him to the sword because he's like who made you the god gatekeeper of what um people can decide his news because like their whole thing is like why are you why'd you snuff out the fake ass hunter biden story on twitter like they're still so mad at that because they were hoping that was going to catch but yeah the facts remain it was just was just a straight bullshit story. So he's really going in on that right now and many other things. But Jack Dorsey is like, oh, no, Twitter doesn't help decide elections in any way. I mean, that tracks and doesn't track at the same time. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure there will be some manner of fallout.

Adele, Skepta, they are officially dating. You love to see it. Oh, really? Look at that. North London lovers. Love it. The two Tottenham, the kids from Tottenham, just making it honest. Skepta has a sick Nike. he has his nike collabs are
