In relation to Joe’s one last meaningless thing, the Mall of America Barnes & Noble sports books location might have one of the greatest ranges because it has multiple entrances. If you enter the B&N from the inside of the mall, it is one of the first sections, just to the left of the entrance (my dad walked through the entire store once before getting back to the entrance and that part and finding the sports books), but if you enter from the exterior, it would be in the very, very back of the store!

I know someone who has a policy of charging a dollar to listen to a bad beat story. It is a great policy which I have adopted.

I love fantasy sports, but I heard a saying once that "there is nothing more interesting than your own fantasy team, and nothing less interesting than someone else's fantasy team." It's 100% true, and I try not to bore anyone with hearing about my team.

"It's always a little sweaty? Like the actual bar is always a little sweaty?"

That detail is just so perfect. It's chef's kiss. It makes me happy.

The only thing this conversation needed was some version of "Not that there's anything wrong with that" for whenever you talked about no one talking about the Milwaukee Brewers. It would be your mea culpa for not talking about the Brewers. You owned up a few times but turning it into a sitcom bit would've been nice for the long-suffering Brewers fans out there.

As a long-suffering Seattle Mariners fan, I realized long ago why the Brewers are long suffering: They started in Seattle. Two MLB franchises have started in Seattle and have slightly more than 100 seasons between them. And one pennant. And no titles.
