I think they're free, I'm not a Calvinist

Do you think that deGrom's teammates refused to score any runs when he pitched because maybe they just didn't like him very much?

Have you ever watched Earthlings? How do you justify loving your cats but eating other animals who have been tortured all while being the biggest contributor to climate change?

Dan Szymborski

I have not.

Like most people, I'm imperfect.

Ethically, I actually have some qualms about eating meat. But my qualms aren't such that they outright the pragmatic value of deliciousness.

Does fangraphs offer internships to highschool students?

Dan Szymborski

1:11

I think it's usually offered to college students, but I haven't been here long enough to know all the procedures.

And imagine even if we had a policy of only college interns, someone could convince with a good case

Radio is that lousy Cuba Gooding Jr. movie or that electronics device that plays music and commercials when waiting in line for a cheesesteak.

Dan Szymborski

1:13

I'll listen to radio for talk stuff, but for music, I have a terabyte hard drive in my car connected to the system and I'm the DJ

My name is literally DJ Szymborski

How do you find new music? Or are you one of those "all new music sucks" guys?

Dan Szymborski

I'll frequently just go down the new releases.

And I keep a notepad of bands to try anytime I hear someone talking about one
