For those of you who don’t like sports, I start the show with sports. I couldn’t help but talk about this year’s Fall Classic. It was pretty damn entertaining.
While talking about the Series, I mentioned the jerk who grabbed a home run ball out of the hand of the woman who caught it and threw it back on the field. It is a tradition to throw the opposing team’s home run ball back and not keep it. The tradition started in Chicago with the Cubs fans. But the tradition is also to let the person catching the ball make the decision to throw it back.
Well, that fellow didn’t let her make the decision. Neither Joe Buck nor John Smoltz mentioned the break with tradition, but people on social media noticed it and took to commenting on what a jerk he was. I made a similar comment about the fellow on Facebook.
It turns out the jerk was the brother of the woman’s husband.
Interesting choices, but why would anyone take the blue pill? You want to lose 20% of your brainpower?
That blue pill option may have derived from the myth that people only use 10% of their brain power. Well, it’s not true. We use our entire brain.
That’s infuriating to this skeptic.
You can look at her site, but I won’t link to it. Just Google her name.
I will link to Steve Novella’s piece on grief vampires.
Here are the Top Three Cool Things from this week.
I just watched this one a few nights ago. It’s a newspaper movie starring Humphrey Bogart as a serious newsman running a paper that might be sold to a competitor and shut down. Bogart’s character is determined to take down a notorious mobster who seemed untouchable.
Gritty and entertaining with Bogart being Bogart.
Music heard on the show…
