Episode 81: Sorry, I can only swim if you’re a dog.

Ohio hates trans people and tells Texas and Florida to hold their beer while they look to pass legislation to force kids to make people hold their.. Stuff.. To prove they are who they say they are. This trans hate is out-freaking-ragious! Also, Microsoft is OK with unions, Tempe cops save a dog but let a man drown, Liberia tries counseling to help at-risk individuals, and oh yeah, how ‘bout those Brewers? (they may suck but at least they aren’t dicks like the Tampa Bay Rays)

All the shootings. It feels like nothing will be done about gun control until the last of us has been murdered by them. We discuss Buffalo and Milwaukee shootings; how the Right could try to push through some horrific amendments; Michigan trying to help poor people; Spain trying to help women; and a little good news, too.

Racial profiling in Georgia?; Austin guaranteed income; MLB’s balls, and more!

This week we dive into a couple topics around assisting poorer Americans and how this can help lift us all up as a society.

This week we are going to geek out on a Brewers draft.. BUT WITH A TWIST!

https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/MIL/uniform-numbers.shtml

We’ll use a random number generator (1-63) to select the uniform number that is being drafted. For the number we get, we draft two players from that uniform number. We have ONE skip. If we skip drafting from a number, we later reserve the right to draft THREE players from a uniform number.

EXAMPLE: random generator gives B #63. He decides not to draft. Later on, generator gives B #28. B can draft THREE players from #28.
