Cricket

As an American who *does* know cricket I’m like five minutes into this episode and my day has already been vastly improved

Baseball bonus when???

I live in Australia, I can confirm. Of all the things that the population and politicians let slide and don’t get out raged about, it is amazing how we turn into a bunch of hysterical fucking idiots when it comes to cricket and what has been done to us or has been done by us in cricket. Incarcerating indigenous people, strip searching minors, a housing crisis, been cooked to the Americans on foreign policy, no big deal, cheating and cricket, and the whole fucking country is talking.

Marxist CLR James wrote a memoir on cricket called "Beyond a Boundary" that is considered, outside leftist circles/in sports circles, to be one of the best sports books ever written Fun fact: I live 20 minutes away from John Darnielle and a professional cricket pitch. Fun fact: when I first fell in love with Doctor Who, I went to my local FYE, which had TWO Doctor Who products: one used David Tennant/Catherine Tate season DVD pack, and one single episode Pete Davison DVD where he plays cricket. That was all, because who the hell in the US watches some obscure British sci-fi show? (A few years later, you wouldn't be able to move in that store without hitting Doctor Who merch)

Do Steeplechasing next

The episode where we learn Roz and Milkshake caused the events of Red Alert to happen

The branding of the miniseries with Agent Smith is great. I think the box says something like, "When England declared war on Australia!"

my dad was a psychiatrist and worked in prison systems- he would sometimes have to get maced as part of his job, as far as I remember. like he was carrying mace in the prison and so had to know what it was like to get maced? as I type this I wonder if anything I remember about his job was real or makes any fucking sense. in case it wasn't clear, this is in reference to the "make tasers get tased" portion of the podcast.

Where do I look at slides thank you

Frankly I’m amazed Jardine made it out of Australia without someone breaking his legs.

Perfect timing re this, as I'm due to sit the Aussie citizenship exam in March and my former boss joked I should expect a Bradman question. I still don't understand cricket fully but I understand it more than I did before listening to the episode, so that's a win!
