So, one family outing at a time, one little adventurer at a time, one trip to the museum, one dinner in the city, one nap on the way home at a time.

One train journey at a time can help create a greener future.

So when will you take your next trip? Find out more at nationalrail.co.uk slash greener.

Let me be perfectly explicit in this podcast. Okay, here it goes.

It's Tuesday, May 15th 2018 from Slate. It's the gist I'm Mike Pasca.

Today is a special gist, a special show for me if you will permit me.

I would like to share with you some of my fruits. Have some fruit.

Is it low hanging fruit? Well, you know, when we speak of strawberries and grapes, aren't the low hanging fruits the hardest to get?

Somewhat complicates the aphorism, doesn't it? And since the low hanging fruit story came from the tale of sour grapes and aesop's fable

with the wolf and the grapes, you would think that the grapes would be on the ground and have vineyard anyway, I digress.

Because for the last, actually, it's been for the last two and a half years. I think I've mentioned this.

I've been working on a book. It is out today. It is called Upon Further Review, the greatest what ifs of sports history.

But, and this is relevant to today. For the past four or five months, I've been working on the attendant podcast.

It is called Upon Further Review. It has no subtitle, but it has a subtext. And the subtext is the subtitle.

The greatest what ifs of sports history. What we've done is we've taken five of them and we've breathed them into life in audio form.

And I've got to say, I think these are, I say this without hyperbole, but also without humility.

I think it's the best sports audio of this form that has ever been committed to ear. And we commend it to your ear.

Because today on this show, I'm going to play Episode 1. Now listen, a lot of people ask me, Michael, what can I do to help the gist?

What can I do to help you? I would buy some of your products, but I barely grow whiskers and I have an aversion to food in a box.

Well, I'll tell you what you can do to help me. First of all, mom, you can write me back into the will.

I know I insulted the noodle cookle that day. I didn't think you'd take it so seriously if you know my mom.
