Episode 68: 500 Feet Away from the Promise Land (feat. John Fleming)

It's starting to feel like Spring. It's chilly, but not in the same way that fall is chilly, you know? Like, it's not crisp. What air quality is that? Is it a physics thing? I don't know anything about anything. And that's why we do this podcast. It's Episode 68, so I now know 68 things. But also, it's rainy, and things look green. St. Patrick's Day is tomorrow. Here's a free viral tweet for anyone who wants it: It so figures that the holiday for white people doesn't come with a day off work. You can workshop the wording on that if need be, but the structure is there. Just be sure to promote the show in the tweet underneath. Preferably don't lead with one of the bad audio episodes. This week, our good friend John Fleming returns to the show, and this time, he has better audio because his dog isn't wilding out the entire time. First we discuss the St. Louis Battlehawks, ABBA, and which sports franchises are the most Guy. Then, it's 3 magnificent Guys, including the flamboyant immigrant saloon owner who started the proto-version of the Cardinals, the surprising truth behind the NHL's first Japanese player, and a long-overdue subject who may just, somehow, be the wackiest baseball player in history.
