Northwestern sports, maybe some parent-life things, unnecessary nonsense, a dog wearing glasses
This was a fun story, well-told. The best part is that almost every bit has a surprise to make it about 50% more interesting than it already was. Very glad to have Josh Levin in podcast form again, and reminded me to go back and listen to One Year episodes I might have missed.
I'm thrilled to announce the pilot episode for a new sports history podcast called Replay Booth. The pilot, "Wilbur Huckle for President," is live now. If you liked Slow Burn and/or One Year and/or Hang Up and Listen, you'll love this www.replaybooth.show/p/replay-boo...

A Hawai'i game is finally on a channel I get? And it’s the night I get a free hour of sleep? It’s a date (unless I am asleep at 9:15).

If you're worried about your daughter losing at sports to a trans kid just wait until you hear about "tall kids" or "rich kids"!!! There's a thousand reasons why one kid might win over another and gender identity is like not even on the list

It’s wnba all star weekend so annual reminder to when it was in Chicago and Cathy thought it was a good idea to close off all special events like skills/3 pt contests to crowds and league cited “safety concerns” bc Chicago = Guns. Anyway large number of illegal guns enter Chicago through Indiana bye

There are two types of headlines that I will always misread. The first is whenever someone is “charged with battery”, and this is the second.

Women are lagging behind on going bankrupt on DraftKings, drinking themselves to death, and fist-fighting anyone who looks at them funny on the subway but they can catch up.

Very rainy day in Pennington, New Jersey, a small borough just outside Princeton. Probably 900 or so people at the No Kings protest. Absolutely drenched.

Used a urinal at Jadwin Gym (Princeton) next to Bill Walton. The facilities were under the bleachers, so the ceiling sloped down toward the urinals. He had to bend his neck to the side because he was very tall.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
