Blu and Geoff celebrate Independence Day with an episode of the history of sports on Holidays, from the Ashbourne Game, to Thanksgiving football, to baseball at the summer holidays, and beyond. And as usual in the summer, discuss some weather safety tips.Q&A form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc9jgf2tYd_EMuzlQoH_cn45nOcOwNgfrhDCzukpNRwQczOng/viewform?usp=headerSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Shrovetide_Footballhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_on_Christmas_Dayhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_Christmas_gameshttps://www.newspapers.com/image/541726326/?terms=%22baseball%22%20%22fourth%20of%20july%22&match=1https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/baseball-on-fourth-of-julyhttps://trinitonian.com/2021/12/02/a-brief-history-of-holiday-football/https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1876-11-30/ed-1/seq-1/?date1=1876&index=18&date2=1876&searchType=basic&state=&rows=20&proxtext=football&y=0&x=0&dateFilterType=yearRange#words=footballhttps://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83025925/1869-11-17/ed-1/seq-8/?date1=1869&index=3&date2=1870&searchType=basic&sort=date&sort=date&sort=date&state=&rows=20&proxtext=foot+ball&y=15&x=10&dateFilterType=yearRange&page=2&page=3#words=FOOT%2Bfoot%2Bball%2Bfoot-ballhttps://web.archive.org/web/20131207020242/http://cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_iaa/ivyleague/yale/opponents_records.php?teamid=2637https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detroit_Lions#Thanksgiving_Day_traditionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football_on_Thanksgiving#College_footballWebsite: ⁠https://feedyourmascot.squarespace.com⁠Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/feedyourmascot.bsky.socialInstagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/feedyourmascot/⁠Threads: @feedyourmascot Schrodinger's social network (Twitter): ⁠https://twitter.com/feedyourmascot/⁠ Copyright 2025 Feed Your Mascot LLC

Geoff is joined by food documentarian Adam Gottschalk of OTR (https://www.youtube.com/@OTRontheroad) to discuss how one goes from Charlottesville, VA to Bangkok, doing sports radio, sports food culture in Asia, following the American sports from abroad, and what sports mean as an expat.

Blu and Geoff back on their usual hinkyism, discussing nuclear physics history, the 1894 college football season, the great game reviews, long schedules, short schedules, the longest schedule, odd teams to play, a stadium sharing the name with a person, cool college names, and the very different power base of the sport.

Prof. Sam Ehrlich joins the pod to discuss grilling, the House settlement, how it opens up as many questions as it answers, the origins of the striped pants, IU being good at a sport (swimming), and a fun game about national titles by school.Website: ⁠https://feedyourmascot.squarespace.com⁠Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/feedyourmascot.bsky.socialInstagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/feedyourmascot/⁠Threads: @feedyourmascot Schrodinger's social network (Twitter): ⁠https://twitter.com/feedyourmascot/⁠ Copyright 2025 Feed Your Mascot LLC
