Hello and welcome. This is Sadusel School. I am your host, Chris Gillipo. Question for you,

0:09.6

do you like the sport of baseball? And I do realize this may be more of a question for our North

0:14.3

American audience, although perhaps our Japanese audience as well. Perhaps any listeners from Cuba

0:19.2

or the Dominican Republic, maybe some other baseball loving countries out there in the world. I'm

0:23.1

not sure, but it is identified mostly as an North American sport. And you know, as I was working

0:28.0

on this episode, I had some fond memories because once upon a time, I was a star T-ball player.

0:33.3

T-ball for those who aren't familiar is kind of like junior baseball. You play it when you're like

1:14.7

stretch to say thanks to our sponsor and then it's better up. From Marvel Studios, an invasion is here.

1:22.1

And we can't even tell who the invaders are. This is a ticking time bomb. Fury, do you feel responsible?

1:28.9

How do you think I came back? On Disney Plus.

1:35.5

You're the most wanted man on the planet. Well, I'm always said I was special.

1:41.9

Marvel Studios' secret invasion now streaming exclusively on Disney Plus.

1:45.3

18-plus subscription required and season C's apply.
