Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi, this is Rachel McElroy. Hello, this is Griffin McElroy. And this is wonderful. Thank you so much for listening to our podcast. Wonderful. It is a podcast where we talk about things we like that's good that we're into. Hey. Can I do the intro?
Starting point is 00:00:29 Yeah. Sure. So I got a little notification on my social media. Okay. That as of the day, we're recording this. Holy shit. Nine years ago. Yeah? We launched on the Maximum Fun Network.
Starting point is 00:00:41 With the Rose Buddies. Yeah, we were like 50 episodes into Rose Buddies at that point. Nine freaking years, huh? We were in the Nick Viall season. Oh, wow. That was a minute ago. And what a, it's really like full circle, but then there's another circle kind of coming off of that into like, I guess a figure A, I guess, Infinity, where Nick has also become sort of a podcasting sort of like...
Starting point is 00:01:04 Clearly inspired. So nine years ago, the Tesseract was sort of formed. Uh-huh. And I don't want to say we started the Tessaract, but we definitely had a hand in its creation. No, for sure. I mean, I imagine, much like the Canadian Bachelorette, he was listening to our episodes at home. Yes. And he was like, I want to have a voice in how this franchise is talked about.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Right. And then he started his own podcast. Yeah, pretty much anybody can have a voice in how the franchise is talked about. You just open it up and you just start blasting. But yeah, that's so wonderful. It is a new year. It's a new era that we're changing the whole thing again. Oh, are we?
Starting point is 00:01:47 Yeah, sports now. Oh, sports. Yeah, so we started out doing sort of romance shows and then it was sort of like, whatever, as we kind of found our purpose, found our way. But we all knew that Wonderful was like a stock. gap sort of like sojourn sort of like a gap year where is poetry corner going to fall in our sports podcast is my question so that's actually getting its own um mini series okay it's get so that's moving to quibby we're gonna do poetry corner is quibby short form content um because that's all that people really have appetite and then the rest of it is pretty much just gonna be sports yeah and
Starting point is 00:02:28 And when you say sports, so there is really only one sports that we follow. Yeah, that's true. And know anything about. That's true. So are we going to follow more sports? Yeah, I mean, we're going to need to, I think. And I think it's only fair if we kind of divvy them up because I don't want to watch, I don't want to watch all the sports. I don't know that I want to watch any other sports.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Is that a problem? Okay. So the divvying process is going to, I feel like I'm going to be carrying a lot of the load there. Yeah. Yeah. If you'll do baseball, I'll do literally all the other ones. I'll do baseball. Okay. It feels like that one is, you have a little bit of, we both have a little bit of history with baseball. Yeah, I mean, I have been to baseball games.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Yeah. I grew up in a place that had a notable baseball team. Yeah. I played softball for two years as a child. I mean, yeah. All of this makes me. What position? Oh, it was like third and fourth grade, so there weren't really consistent.
Starting point is 00:03:26 positions. Okay. I did some short-stopping. Oh, yeah. I did some out-feeling. I, yeah, I really enjoyed short-stopping. I always found it, um, I always found it exciting because you did, there wasn't a ton of responsibility on you. If it got past you, you can just be like, what can I say, man, they hit it really hard. You're not touching a base most of the time, or at least I wasn't. And that's probably why our team never won a single game. I felt like as a kid, it was like, we don't really trust you to be in charge of a base, which is kind of an important place to be. Yeah. And you can't throw very far, so we can't put you out back. Yeah. Doesn't this feel natural, though? This like sports chatter. Yeah. And football is like easy because I can just like listen to a football show and then just
Starting point is 00:04:11 kind of repeat what they said. Uh-huh. Like there's only like 10 football games a year. It's like not that hard. True. Um, football, baseball, hockey. That's the three football baseball hockey. Basketball. Ooh. Yeah, there's a lot of basketball games. You know, the points get so high in basketball. The points get so high in basketball. I've been to one, I went to a Houston Rockets game, and it was a lot of fun. It was a great deal of fun.
Starting point is 00:04:36 I kind of feel like. But there's just so many goals. They score so many goals. Yes. With the number of points, it seems like, why am I even watching the first three quarters, right? Yeah. I don't think they call them that, but yeah. What do they call them?
Starting point is 00:04:49 I think they call them periods. No, I think it's quarter. first quarter that's i mean they definitely do that in football i don't think they call them what do you call what do it does basketball does basketball have periods or quarters basketball primary yeah it does use yeah it does use quarters do they call them quarters i'm kind of a jock over here i mean there's four of them quarters are periods but not all not a wait who calls them period it's interchangeable we're both right oh is that what it says in there listen if i'm handling basketball i'm gonna call the dang
Starting point is 00:05:32 things whatever yeah if i'm gonna have to watch every basketball game anyway so many points yeah feels like well why would i even that the beginning ones i guess give you a good sense of who they are and kind of how good they are but like anything can happen there what are they If there's a huge deficit going into the fourth quarter or period, is the expect, I mean, that's it, right? Because what are they going to do? Just start scoring a bunch of three-pointers. Like, they're all going to turn it. They're all going to gulp down Michael's secret stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Maybe. Or they draw a bunch of fouls and then it's just. But I don't think that works the same way either. Okay, fuck it. We can't. We have to go back to wonderful. We're just going to go back to Wonderful and do general purpose sort of. sports sports talks. Do you have any small wonders? Oh, it's been a while since we've recorded.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It has been. We took a holiday break, took a lovely trip to Huntington, West Virginia, and back. We've just been sort of recovering. I'm going to say last evening we hosted our first summer party at our house. Hell yeah, we did. Our big son is in third grade. And so we made it, I'd say pretty far, not like super far, but pretty far. I think I started having slumber parties in second grade. Whoa, damn. I know. I'm very mature.
Starting point is 00:06:58 You're so mature and cool. And I've always been mature. Yeah. But we hosted a young friend of big sons, and it went okay. It went good. I think it went great. No destruction of the house. No.
Starting point is 00:07:14 No like late night yelling. They did sleep. a fair amount yeah um and they weren't fighting there was a small son i think probably wanted more face time but i think got enough to feel like he was part of it i love that i love that shit as the youngest brother did it bring back in my god yes like all i wanted to do was like hang out with my brother's friends because like to me that was cool you always gave me the vibe like you you guys did you like all hung out together all the time no i mean yeah for sure but less so with just so with Justin's friends when I was like a little guy.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Yeah, because he was in college and I was in high school, the gap there wasn't as into, and also like I was doing plays at Marshall and so there was. And it was fun to like, let's get little brother messed up on this crazy substance and see what happens. Let's all just, you know, start huff and whippets with this 16 years. No, I wasn't huffing whippets. But yeah, I mean, that's very, very charming and lovely. Yeah. Yeah. He really wanted to show Big Sun's friend like his toys and his rooms and he kept like wondering like when were they going to come back downstairs so that he could be with them again.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Props to Big Sun's friend also for playing along. Yeah. He himself is a little brother. He has an older sister. So I think he maybe got it. I want I'll bring to the table. We finished Stranger Things. I don't know that I want to sound off on that actually. Yeah, yeah, I mean I liked I thought it was fun We yeah, we enjoyed it I felt like it was consistent I felt like if there are things you don't like about the show
Starting point is 00:08:54 Then you probably had things you didn't like about the finale And if you really liked the show Then you probably really liked the finale I don't know, it seemed like this is about what I wanted Yeah It delivered But the Putting aside the like
Starting point is 00:09:10 Things I did not like about it Because that's not really what we do here that show went places that was so like bonkers like the final episode has so many like uh i don't know it really felt like the uh conclusion to a d and d campaign where it's like they've saved all of the big kind of like set pieces and yeah crazy sequences for last and they went hard too with like the fact that these children were now adults like this season definitely adult uh Adult topics, themes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:46 A lot of violence. A lot of violence. There's a lot of just shooting army guys because they're trying to stop them. And I, that never really, they never really, I don't know, kind of stop to really think about that. Like, hey, you killed like four guys. They made very clear, like, who the enemy was and that if you killed the enemy, that was a good thing. That's good.
Starting point is 00:10:12 But, like, these are, these are very. young people who have taken human lives now. Yes. It had its faults, but I was satisfied. Yeah, me too. I want to talk about this week as my major topic, I want to talk about logical diagrams. I want to talk about logical diagrams with you and our listening audience. This is such a Greg topic, by the way.
Starting point is 00:10:40 It is a huge, there is no, there's going to be zero Dharma energy. included in this whole conversation and I don't know you know what I think hey 2026 we can be both no you don't think we have not called it's not called Dharma or Greg we've talked about this before it's not called Dharma and sometimes Greg it's Dharma and Greg and there is a I don't believe I don't believe in the gender binary I firmly believe in the Dharma and Greg binary I'm suggesting grammar. Why not both? Not dreg? No, that doesn't sound good. I want to talk about logical diagrams. How good is it to have a complicated topic or problem or thing that you make manageable with the help of a good diagram? The answer is very good. Maybe the best thing. Can you give me
Starting point is 00:11:36 some real life examples? So I'll start here. The reason I am talking about this is I've been playing a game that Travis turned me onto called Satisfactory. That is part of this burgeoning genre of indie video games where you are essentially managing a factory. So you land on this alien planet and you have like simple tools to like harvest resources. But ultimately the end goal is like you want to automate that process and now you have a mining thing that's pulling up iron and processing it. And you're literally building a factory. And I've been learning a lot about manufacturing like playing this game, things like manifold belts and like how, you know, automation works on an assembly line and stuff like that that is like kind of what the whole game is about. But it's still really,
Starting point is 00:12:24 really complicated. It's a complicated game if you want to feel like, you know, you're doing things efficiently. But there's a huge community for the game who are like die hard for it. And they communicate through like diagrams. Like here's your inputs and your outputs. Here's how you daisy chain the power. and they show it through like a simple kind of a simple kind of design. Okay. So not like not necessarily a map. So maps are, you know, all diagrams are beautiful. Logical diagrams that I'm talking about here specifically is, I had it sort of defined. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:58 So logical diagrams take items and their relationships and map them out on a 2D plane, right? So a Venn diagram is a logical diagram because it's showing those things. maps not so much i guess like you're showing where places are in relationship to each other what i'm talking about is much more in the kind of like flow chart uh okay realm or uh okay think things like that yeah um i i i use these i feel like a lot and i get a lot of satisfaction out of them i'm in the process right now i was talking to you before we started recording of upgrading my whole kind of like AV setup for video and streaming and stuff like that. And being able to kind of like make a little flow chart showing what's plugging into
Starting point is 00:13:47 what and what power is routing where and where the switches go. That is a fun little puzzle for me to solve. I very, very much enjoy kind of mapping that stuff out. Yeah. No, I'm trying to decide if I can call some things that I've done that. Like for grants, a lot of times you have to do like what's called like a logic model or like a flow chart. And the idea is you're showing like inputs and outputs and like what you're going to achieve and and, you know, like this idea of like we're going to take this many staff people and we're going to serve this many people and we're going to get these things out of it. Hell yes. And I feel like that should maybe count. That definitely counts okay i think that for sure for sure once you start talking about inputs and outputs baby that's a
Starting point is 00:14:35 logical diagram um i mean floor plans technically like i'm going to have to move a bunch of shit around in my office so i have started like drawing up a floor plan of what that would look like and doing that to figure out where you're going to put furniture in your room making little discrete layers for the big items of furniture that you can kind of drag and move around and put that shit's so good that is really nice it's so good i know there's software that lets you do that but like opening up procreate and just like doodling that stuff by hand. God, I love it. It's so fun. That is, that is like an adult thing that I have discovered of like, if I'm going to buy a piece of furniture, I should measure the space. Yes. And then know how much space I have before I buy a piece of furniture.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yes, absolutely. And it feels like a revelation. A big one last year for me was when I was writing the Chooseer and Adventure book. Before I could really get started writing the text of the book, I had to figure out how it would be outlined. And that process involved basically creating the most ambitious flow chart I've ever designed, which I started out with like, you know, 50 or 60 index cards scattered across my, the floor of my office that I was kind of like moving stuff around, like I was hunting a serial killer or something, and then taking that and putting it in a draw. I.O., which is a website that lets you kind of create flowcharts that upload to Google
Starting point is 00:15:56 drive and are like a simple drag and drop kind of interface. And then once I had that, I was like, okay, now I can write, now I can write this book. Because with that, I mean, I haven't read your book yet. It ain't out yet. Yeah. You'll read it when everyone else takes. No, storyless. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:16:14 You could read it. I'll go to the store and I'll buy a copy like everyone else. Right. Bit.ly slash Griffin's Stoweway, by the way, if you want to pre-order my book, it comes out on March 10th. It's really good. Is it set up, though? I remember this with previous Choose Your Own Adventure books I read. where you can take different paths
Starting point is 00:16:32 but you will still end up at the same destination? Absolutely not, no. There are some, there are some... So like I could go right or left but then if I do a certain sequence of turns like I will still end up in the same place? No, it's much more tree based
Starting point is 00:16:46 than what your service is like a bunch of different endings. Oh, there's a bunch of different endings. Okay. My lord, there's actually, I think I did have one over here at some point, but I think I moved it. But most of the Chooseer and Adventure books come with a diagram of the map of the book on the very back of it. And it doesn't, like, tell you what happens in it, but it just shows you where, like,
Starting point is 00:17:08 how many different branching sort of paths there are. I haven't actually seen my map for, I mean, I guess I made it in, uh, on this website, but I haven't seen it on the, I don't have the book either. I'll get it when everyone else gets it. Um, but like, I don't, I, that stuff was really hard. That one in particular was hard because it was like, also a creative sort of challenge things like moving shit around in my office or like figuring out my AV setup. That's not really creative, right?
Starting point is 00:17:33 That's just like, that's a lot of information. And I can't keep that shit straight. And I do not want to just like get back there and start plugging stuff in and unplugging it and hope everything works out. If I go in armed with a diagram that I have made for myself, that is so good, man. That feels so good. It's fun to make that. And then when you follow it and you feel like you are doing it in, you know, the best way possible. or the way that you have envisioned, it's so satisfied.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Yeah, I mean, I imagine people like interior designers like love it. Man, I have no eye for interior design whatsoever, but like we've worked with interior designers. One of our friends is an interior designer. And like watching them do their thing, it does. It looks like sim, like it looks like they're playing sims, but with like huge stakes, high stakes sims. So I'm using logical diagrams here specifically.
Starting point is 00:18:27 There's lots of different types of. diagrams. There's quantitative diagrams like, you know, line graphs and scatter plots, which do not do it for me. I do not want visual representations of numerical data. It makes me anxious. Give me that shit on a spreadsheet. I'll take a bar graph, I guess, if you've got it. Anything. You would rather see it on a spreadsheet? Yeah. I don't, I don't need, I don't need that stuff. I don't need an abstraction of that data. It makes me nervous. I mean, I am somebody who like. visuals a lot. I get no satisfaction out of making them. Part of that is I don't know how. Okay. I've never really learned how to use any spreadsheet software. And at our business, big giant head, Amanda. You specifically hired someone. We specifically hired someone. I mean, we didn't hire Amanda because of her spreadsheet ability, but it's truly superhuman to a degree where I feel like I don't have to learn it because she's bearing the weight of sort of the world
Starting point is 00:19:31 data entry. Macquarie Industries. Yes. So there's a book that came out in 2012 by an author named Scott Christensen titled A Hundred Diagrams That Changed the World, which I perused while prepping this segment. And it's so fascinating kind of how ancient a craft this is.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Maybe not specifically like flow charts. and logical diagrams, but diagrams in general, like, there's 30,000-year-old cave paintings that were used as sort of instruction for fledgling hunters. There's, like, you know, schematics from the Enlightenment in there. There's Copernicus's Heliocentric Universe model. Yeah. Like, diagramming out problems, making abstract things understandable through mapping and symbology is something that humans have been doing for like millennia. And I know part of that
Starting point is 00:20:27 is sort of necessity is the mother of invention and we got to do this stuff or else we're not going to figure it out. But I like to think that also just there is something so inherently satisfying. Yeah. It's great when you're in a group of people too. It's like my favorite thing to do when I'm leading a meeting. If I'm like in a group of people and we're trying to like come up with something. Yeah. I love, man, I love to hop up and get on that whiteboard because then everybody ends up on the same page.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yes. Because they're all looking at the same thing and they're all agreeing to the same words. Yeah. And it's, it's incredible. That's logical diagrams, which now that I've talked about it, I think we can agree, also has a little bit of Dharma edge to it. Cool. Like, there's something cool also about it.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Don't you think? Mm. Mm. I don't know if Dharma's thing was that she was cool. Hey, mm, can I steal you away? Okay. Okay. My topic this week.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Yes. I'm going to say the fact that there are home and away jerseys. Yeah. Okay. Cool. That a sports team in our sports podcast that apparently I was prepping for and didn't realize. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:43 You knew, I think, in your bones. It was time. I like the sports teams have different outfits they can wear. Yeah, I love that sports teams have different outfits they can wear too, for sure. I think it's, I think it's really cute. I love when you're listening to an announcer or a commentator, and they're giving you like a little like, well, the team's wearing their retro jersey today. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Because like, I don't know, it just feels like this fun little piece of flair. Yeah. You know? It seems like a lot of thought goes into it. Yeah. And I wanted to know more about it. I will say it does lend itself to situations where you and I will be watching the first inning of a hockey game. And I will watch for like three minutes before I realize like, oh, I'm like kind of rooting for the wrong team.
Starting point is 00:22:39 The blues are actually the ones in the white and blue jerseys and the blue jackets are in the blue and white jersey. So many, so, like, there's only so many colors. And there's so many freaking blue teams, dude. Every team is blue. Yeah. And we can't change our name. Like, we can't change the color of our thing. I know.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It's the blues. There's always going to be blue involved. The crack, the crackin? You could have been anything. They know. I guess there's water. I guess there's a nautical theme there, but. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Anyway, I'm all worked up. So, um, so I did some research kind of generally on this across all sports and then kind of zeroed in on the NHL since that's what we know about. Part of the reason for the variation, obviously, is that, like you mentioned, you've got to make sure that the opposing teams don't have the same colors on at the same time. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Typically, white road uniforms gained prominence, and that is because of the rise television in the 50s. So when it was a black and white television. Okay. They were just like... Darker colors and lighter color. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Our team is, there's two colors, more or less. So are most away jerseys, I guess specifically for hockey, like primarily white? Well, so teams can kind of choose. But what I think was interesting is there's another component, which was that, some teams would wear gray for their road games and the conventional wisdom that it was difficult to properly launder uniforms while on the road. Okay. And so, quote, road grays helped to hide the accumulated soil, like if you were doing a baseball game.
Starting point is 00:24:34 It's so what baseball I get? I don't see. You obviously get stinky playing hockey. We were in the back of an arena after one of our friends hockey games. Oh, my God. And it is the worst smell I've ever smelled my entire life. It's unbelievable smell. No judgment.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Obviously, those boys were out there working hard and working up a powerful stank. But being subject to that was horrible. But I guess they don't get too dirty because there's not much dirt out there. No, it's just the sweatiness. There are also in many sports, including hockey, a third jersey. What? The winter classic? If a team insists on wearing its home uniforms on the road.
Starting point is 00:25:15 So, for example, in the NFL, the commissioner must judge whether their uniforms are of sufficient contrast. To every other team's... Well, no, to their opponents, to their specific opponents. Okay. And then, so, for example, the Seattle Seahawks have a wolf gray alternative for their third jersey. Oh, okay. So, okay, I understand now. So they have...
Starting point is 00:25:41 So you have a white jersey and a blue jersey, and you, like, always wear your blue jersey. for whatever reason. Yeah. Your team is, the team you're playing, like doesn't have an option. I feel like the blues wear yellow sometimes. Maybe this is a Mandela.
Starting point is 00:25:53 They do have a yellow. Okay. I see it once a year maybe. I know. If that. I know. So, and that's a thing that is kind of,
Starting point is 00:26:01 I think, specific to the NHL, but I'm not 100% sure on that. The NBA, I thought this was interesting. I didn't know this. But they eliminated the home and away designations and began to officially refer to lighter color jerseys as association
Starting point is 00:26:22 uniforms and darker color jerseys as icon uniforms. That's crazy. Why? This was beginning in the 2017-2018 season because the home team was allowed to designate whether it would wear the light color or the dark color. So since there wasn't any consistency on like home away, light, dark. Right. It was like, well, we can't really refer to them generally as home and a way because there's no real rule. So now they're calling it association versus icon.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Cool. Why wouldn't you want to wear the icon jersey? I don't know. That's why I don't understand. Okay, so NHL. So at the start of the 2003-2004 season, NHL team started to wear the dark color at home and the white for road games. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:11 there are occasional single game exceptions so that's what we were talking about the winter classic the winter classic the winter classic jerseys are and i i feel like i learned more about this stuff when the blues did their logo redesign was that in the off season this past so and it's not dramatic like to basically anyone um it's like a change in font almost literally to and i italicize sans serif rather than uh it's very very faint but like a lot of thought goes into the design of this of this stuff. There's like a, it is a, like a design language that is kind of holistic for the, for the entire team. But the winter classic jerseys, that's just one game that they play outside every year. And it's always very, very fun. And it's, they go, I think, they go crazy with those. They go absolutely apeship with those runner classic jerseys.
Starting point is 00:28:06 I feel they always look so out of pocket compared to the other, the other stuff that they do. I know. Love them, though. So with the NHL, the third jersey started in 1995. Okay. And they are typically worn only a few times a season by special permission of the league based on a list of requested games. So they sit down before the season starts. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:31 And say, like, we want to wear our special ones on these nights. Okay. So is this how, like, the blues have the pink, like, breast cancer awareness jerseys? Yeah. This would be one of those, I'm guessing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm guessing. Beginning in the 2020, 2021 season, that's when they started the reverse retro program. Well, no one was really playing much hockey during that season because of COVID, so they could get kind of silly with it.
Starting point is 00:29:01 They were planned to be worn in specific rivalry matchups, which was hindered by the realignment of divisions due to COVID-19. But starting in 2022, 2023, the reverse retro designs made a return, including the Seattle Cracken, which like, what was their retro design? They were a brand new team. But yeah, so this is when I was watching the blues in the 90s, they had this wild, like, red addition to their jersey, which they brought back for their reverse retro program. Yeah, I think I saw that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:35 I think those are cool. If I go to a game wearing one of those jerseys, I'm going to feel a little weird about, I feel like I'm going to, it's not the representative. It's a little peacocky. It's a little peacocky. Yeah. But I do love how many options that.
Starting point is 00:29:49 This is so great. This is a great topic. It's so great that these folks, these athletes, get so many wonderful different choices that they all wear at the same time. It's so great. Uniforms are great. There's a lot if you look online too about like superstitions around jerseys. Oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Apparently, like, the Dallas Cowboys have some superstition around, like, how they, uh, their blue jerseys, um, make it so they can't win a Super Bowl. Yeah. And that, like, occasionally, like, the home team or, like, the, whichever team gets to decide will sometimes intentionally choose the white jersey. Yeah. To, like, invoke the Dallas curse if they're playing the Cowboys. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Um, so yeah, clearly this is of great significance to a lot of people. Yeah. Um, but, uh, yeah. I don't know.
