Summary

Today's word of the day is 'Perspicacity' and that comes from a listener, and it's the perfect word for today (0:06). MLB had a plan leak where they want to play all games in Arizona at spring training facilities. There are a plethora of problems with this, so please allow me the time to break down all of those issues. Yes, we all want baseball back, but this isn't going to get it done (1:25). Dana White has plans in place for the UFC to host events from a private island. I just want to know if this is Fantasy Island or Alcatraz (21:08)? So You Wanna Talk To Samson!?

0:00.0	Pursue Pocacity. Pursue Pocacity. Yes, that's your SAT word of the day, nothing personal.
0:16.0	It's the quality of having ready insight into things or being shrewd. Pursue Pocacity.
0:24.9	A little shout out to Daniel Friedman, loyal listener. Thank you, Daniel. You know I love
0:29.8	words of the day and this is a perfect one. The thing about being perspicacious, having the ability
0:37.6	to show perspicacity, is it true that people can look as though they've got insight? Can people
0:47.6	look as though they are showing shrewdness when in fact they aren't? When in fact they're just
0:54.4	talking about things that you don't know or don't understand or they sound like they know what
1:00.3	they're talking about but in fact they don't. I would choose to say that if I can label someone
1:06.5	as showing perspicacity that I am able to see through whether or not they have layers of

1:48.0	light came, let there be light. Although Koka has not mentioned that there's even a shred of
1:54.1	difference but I think there is. If you're listening on Apple or wherever you are and you've rated
1:59.2	and reviewed five started, thank you and don't forget to tell a friend. On your marks, get set.
2:10.0	We've got baseball coming in May. You didn't hear me? We've got baseball coming in May. There was
2:19.1	a huge scoop on ESPN by Mr. JP. I try to say his name doesn't like me. But I acknowledge credit.
2:30.8	All 30 teams. I'm leaving on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll come back again. Don't know when
2:42.2	I'll be back again. That's the plan. Get all 30 teams on a plane. Go to Arizona. So question
2:50.8	themselves inside hotels. Be driven from hotels to various spring training facilities. Have
