    Guys, huge fan, but have been severely disappointed with your general lack of interest in the blue jays. They are in the World Series, have been the most exciting team in the playoffs, and you don’t know how to pronounce the last name of their 2-hitter… it’s Lu-Kas (somehow). Let’s tighten up the Jays coverage please! (Currently 2-0 in game 5).

  • No Shouting

    TLDR: two decent people yammering.

    No anger, no meanness, no hate, just love for all that is good. That means rational Yankees hatred and celebrations of virtually everything else in the world that is life-affirming, particularly that which is sports-related. There’s a fair bit of baseball talk, but so, so much more.

  • Against “efficiency”

    Came for the sports; stayed for the brutally effective takedown of consulting-firm culture, which I have been longing for for decades. Thank you for this. Consider running for office? I’m not kidding. We need it.
