Ears / Sans ears

If you can't sleep because the Cubs have crushed your soul again, well here's something that will help. It's the RECRAP with @olegkup.bsky.social and @praz.bsky.social brought to you by R. Bernard Funeral Services and the Pat Benkowski Sports Spectacular. open.spotify.com/episode/5dz9...

The Cubs have tied up the series with a thorough beat down of the Brewers in game four. We RECRAPped it with @olegkup.bsky.social and @praz.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/4MQj...

The Cubs stayed alive and @olegkup.bsky.social, @praz.bsky.social and I RECRAPped it. open.spotify.com/episode/7tjo...

The Cubs survived game three. Did they just save a little face and avoid a sweep, or will they win again today and really put the screws to the Brewers? @olegkup.bsky.social, @praz.bsky.social and I have your RECRAP. www.pointlessexercise.com/recrap-live-...

Yes, @olegkup.bsky.social and I RECRAPPED that debacle. @praz.bsky.social needed a mental health break. open.spotify.com/episode/2wgo...

The RECAP is up and our advice to Craig and his team is to just flush this one. Might take more than once to get rid of it. @olegkup.bsky.social and @praz.bsky.social and I have thoughts. open.spotify.com/episode/5P3S...

That didn't go well for the Cubs, but our RECRAP postgame (brought to you by Tru-Link Fence) did with @olegkup.bsky.social , and with @praz.bsky.social joining us once again from location. open.spotify.com/episode/66fX...

We did a RECRAP postgame after the Cubs' big playoff win with @olegkup.bsky.social and @praz.bsky.social. And we even named a player of the game! open.spotify.com/episode/0yV6...

Ian Happ. What a piece of shit.

Not one, but two podcasts today. First up is the MLB Baseball Playoff Preview with @praz.bsky.social and @olegkup.bsky.social. And then, a very special Best of Remember This Crap with @huecub.bsky.social focused on the NLCS portion of the 1984 Cubs episode. www.pointlessexercise.com/podcast-s-pl...

The playoff preview pod with @olegkup.bsky.social and @praz.bsky.social is live now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ7G...

Anytime I see something like this, I always think of this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College...

This is, of course, 100% accurate. And just look at these motherfuckers' style!

Olamide Zaccheaus went for the jumping celebration with DJ Moore who didn't see him 😭🤣

When should the Cubs celebrate? Whenever the hell they want to, that's when. @praz.bsky.social and @olegkup.bsky.social are here to discuss Nico's batting title hopes, the odds of that ball finding Anthony Rizzo, game one starters and injuries. www.pointlessexercise.com/podcast-why-...

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

These Bears don't deserve a full podcast, that's why the Rekrap (brought to you by Cellozzi-Ettleson Chevrolet) is perfect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T9k...

Im just going to assume whoever did this is just mocking the whole spectacle.

A team i would send?

I saw the video of Kirk getting shot. It was horrible. My thoughts immediately went out to those who were in close and saw it. It's hard to imagine the trauma seeing that up close will cause. And his kids were there? Fuck! On an unrelated note: www.thisamericanlife.org/859/chaos-gr...

Truly, a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I think Johnson thinks the ball is punched out before contact was made to the player? Is that a thing?

The Cubs' playoffs are inevitable, the Bears season kicks off on Monday, so Jon Greenberg drops by to talk about all of that, why Boog wasn't in the Yeti Yard, Taylor on a kayak and more. And, you can watch @olegkup.bsky.social and I talk analytics. www.pointlessexercise.com/podcast-hes-...

On yesterday's pod @olegkup.bsky.social and I talked about a lot of stuff, and after a very funny digression into wedding, funeral and Bar Mitzvah stories, we had a chat about the misuse of baseball analytics that people really enjoyed. So let's try something new. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLTE...

This was a roller coaster.

About to go live on the podcast with @olegkup.bsky.social at www.youtube.com/@desipiodotc... We are broadcasting from my back yard surrounded by Yetis, both of the drink tumbler and big foot variety.

We used to post etymologies. We still do, but we used to, too.

The Cubs, whether you know it or not have won four of five. @olegkup.bsky.social and @praz.bsky.social and I discuss, Kyle Tucker sitting, Owen Caissie playing, "You Make The Call" and Praz being escorted out of the bleachers the other day. www.pointlessexercise.com/podcast-bein...

We're live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eBu...

On the pod, @praz.bsky.social and @olegkup.bsky.social and I discuss pocket pancakes, where the Cubs and Brewers do and don't match up, how Jed botched the deadline and what it means going forward, and more. www.pointlessexercise.com/podcast-mat-...

Imagine being such a shit owner of a baseball team that you can't even tender a player like Schwarber a contract. A player exactly like Schwarber.

Guardians have been denied numerous times from wearing Larry Doby's number

Fair enough, but how would anyone feel about him if his nickname were "Giant Shitter?"

Out on the town having the time of my life with a bunch of GMs. They're all just out of frame, laughing too.

Important reference material.

Cubs are playing like they need a rain delay tomorrow.

With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today.

The first REM album I ever bought, along with Chronic Town because it was an EP and therefore cheaper. They were on cassette. I had never heard REM. Probably around '88 or so. That opening riff of Begin the Begin will forever lead me to air guitar. Brilliant album. Damn near perfect.

Great minds...

Cubs 34 - White Sox 1.

WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽

Trade targets for the Cubs dominated this week's podcast with @praz.bsky.social and @olegkup.bsky.social, but as always we got derailed into some odd places. www.pointlessexercise.com/podcast-trad...

We're live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhZ8...

They should make the All Star managers wear wool suits during the game.

Baseball fans like to debate who the GOAT is, and to me the GOAT is John Smoltz, because he managed to make the Hall of Fame despite not knowing a single thing about the game of baseball.

As @praz.bsky.social and @olegkup.bsky.social and I discussed last week, it's a shame Reese McGuire wasn't around tonight for an epic All-Star introduction. www.youtube.com/shorts/_W4E1...

Hilarity ensued.
