I hope it does for you, too, and I’m so excited for the year ahead, and all the fun we’re going to have together. We’re going to do stuff that makes us happy, and this episode - with opening day tomorrow, let’s call this the official year one finale - made me happy for two hours. I don’t want to compete with Shutdown Fullcast or anyone else with this. In the actual industry, there’s a sense of “trying to get ahead,” which, even if it wasn’t what I was after, is pervasive. But that’s also a lousy way to think about things. Because of course Ryan didn’t accept the invitation to come on the show so that he could come tell me to my face what a schmuck I am, and expose the truth of that matter to the world, at long last.Īfter that Nashville winter meetings where I’d driven to Huntsville to see rockets, I still vividly remember sitting on the floor of the airport and doing a whole thread about feeling like I didn’t belong, and ticking off folks who I thought did each of the things that I might be moderately good at – way better than me. Really, I prepared for this show, nervous as all heck (you can tell, because I prepared for this show ) and that afternoon listened to last week’s Fullcast, and heard my faves talking about weird baseball injuries ? And saying nice things about the sport ? It messed me up like Hill messed up Steve Woodard, because this was already gonna be a long episode due to the content of our game… but, it was fine. Moderate love as well to Osmosis Jones, as well, a movie I’m not sure holds up as well and don’t really plan to find out, but had its time and place and was one of the better rainy-day movies during my summer at Harlem RBI. It kind of builds on my favorite science film from school (it was an old film then, and still goes pretty hard), Hemo The Magnificent, which includes a team working around the body, including a funny little guy with a mustache as the executive functioning in the brain. I think a lot about the concept of Pixar’s Inside Out, a cast of voices in your brain representing your emotions. I walk a lot, because I haven’t been running for a real long while now, and I listen to a bunch of music and podcasts, like a normal person in the City of Mind Your Business. A whole lot outside of my own body sucks, too, and dealing with it all in concert really and truly sucks. I could go on and on, but the show notes are going to be complicated enough already. This is an extremely long episode, but also some of the most fun I’ve had on an episode, and also some of the most nervous I’ve been doing an episode.
