Summary

In this solo episode Matt discusses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: the surreal return of professional sports in the time of Covid-19, the stupid uproar in response to athletes taking a knee during the national anthem, the difficulty but ultimate importance of keeping an open mind at a time when we all so desperately seek certainty, Twitter’s questionable plans to combat QAnon, the fast-approaching eviction crisis we are on the precipice of facing— and the necessity of one very obvious solution to that crisis, despite its enormous cost and whatever other problems it may lead to down the road.

First and foremost, actually, what I what,

1:20.0

what, I think one of the weirder things about this the impact of the pandemic and the various kinds of lockdowns and precautions and

1:41.0

industry derailments I think one of the most impactful of them all, if not the most, just in terms of pure symbolism, on a national level is the absence of sports.

1:58.2

That's been very odd.

1:59.2

I think even to people who are not sports fans,

because you got bigger fish to fry,

2:16.4

like, how the fuck are you going to be making money

to feed miles and pay rent next month?

2:29.7

But... month. But baseball fans or even halfway baseball fans must be somewhat aware of the fact that baseball season started on Thursday, yesterday. Today is the first full day of games.
