why are you apologizing to the door

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I have a new knob to put in it because the old one sticks a little, but I keep not getting around to it

hscer

A keyboard for typing? I use mine to swat flies.

Blue Morpho

12:56

Did you watch "Long Gone Summer"? If so what did you think?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I actually haven't yet!

Big Joey

12:57

Which side would you rather have: Clevnger, Realmuto and Ketel Marte or Devers, Carson Kelly and Keuchel? The first group is clearly better for this year but here's the kicker, you can only keep 1 player at the end of the year.

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Depends what my team is like

Griffin

12:57

How do you feel the Tigers rebuild is going now? Did you like their draft?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

I think it's going decently

Numpty

12:57

Do you watch TV while playing video games?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

Yeah, I'm usually doing three or four things at a time

12:59

i'm watching an old episode of law and order and listening to nielsen's 1st while chatting

Numpty

When I was a kid I had a little TV next to the little TV I played Sega Genesis on. It was a pretty sweet set up.

Dan Szymborski

12:59

I didn't have two TV until I was like 20!

LFC Mike

Any chance for a larger than usual amount of players going to the winter leagues this year? Especially some of the upper tier prospects with little or no baseball for them this summer?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

I think it's likely

Trent Hauser

Who will survive in America?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

In the long run, everyone's dead.

Sir Nerdlington

Any idea how the anti-trust exemption isn't pierced when two of the teams are owned by publicly traded companies? Seems like a massive vulnerability to exploit.

Dan Szymborski

1:00

Some of it was neutered

Sir Nerdlington

1:00

I'd like publicly funded stadiums to have immediate repayment options triggered upon a work stoppage. No question, I'd just find that nice.

Dbo

But a hot dog between a broken bun is a sandwich, correct?

Dan Szymborski

1:00

If you designed it that way

that's still a barbecue pit

Multiple Santas

1:01

Where do you stand on the scribble rights movement?

Dan Szymborski

1:01

i'm not sure what this is

LFC Mike

1:01

if you place a hot dog in a folded piece of bread does it cease to be a hotdog because you are not using the universally defined "bun" to encase the hotdog?

Dan Szymborski

1:02

If you've hinged it, it's not a sandwich

Jason N

The most puzzling part of your Chile recipe isn’t about beans. It’s about no tomatoes.

Dan Szymborski

1:02

true chili is basically meat and chili

Matt

1:02

Maybe $1-2B is enough to cover the losses for all owners. Congress can’t stomach that when giving Wall Street literally TRILLIONS of dollars in financing? Or the auto bailout? Come on.

Dan Szymborski

1:02

It's the opticsd

see some of the companies that got PPP loans

Derek

1:02

My thing with hot dogs is that, if you take the hot dog bun and replace the hot dog with like, ham and cheese and lettuce, then it's a sandwich and no one questions it! The hot dog meat itself can't just invalidate a sandwich!

Dan Szymborski

1:02

it's not a sandwich, it's a really weird ham and cheese sub

Tim Tebow's Thunder Thighs

1:03

Suggestion for determining next year's draft position: combined records from 2019-2020

Dan Szymborski

1:03

I'd like a lottery system

The number of "tickets" each team gets in the draft lottery is non-playoff teams get their wins squared
