Loved the episode – have you considered having Luke come to other podcasts just to laugh in the background? It’s a good laugh. Pro sports aren’t as big a deal in this state. My team has always been the Iowa State Cyclones, my parents’ and then my own alma mater. And Spud Webb is still one of my all time favorite players. My dad had season tickets, so I’ve been going to games as far back as I can remember. Totally recommended if you like hide-your-head-under-the-covers psychological family stuff like “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane,” “Mommy Dearest,” etc. There’s a great book out about the history of the woman who wrote “The Lonely Doll.” Intensifies the creepiness of the original book while also shedding some light on the difficult life of the author. Your story about the Lonely Doll reminded me of a This American Life episode I heard years ago. But most of all, I watched way too much Cheers. I thought Boggs was the best hitter in the game, and Clemens the best pitcher. Luckily, I missed the Bill Buckner WS Game 6. I’ve been a Red Sox fan since the late 80s. When the team closed and Ted King transferred to Liquigas Cannondale (now Cannondale Pro Cycling), so did my interest. The first sports team I realistically cared at all about was Cervelo Test Team, a cycling team that only even existed 2009-2010. The Chicago Cubs, because someone told me they were underdogs.
