Coral Tourism-Coral intro and wrap
"A tourism company is determined to entertain and educate their guests about the Great Barrier Reef. A new UN report recommends the Great Barrier Reef being inscribed on the list of World Heritage in danger. Reef magic cruises offers tours off the coast of eastern Australia, dive leader Ennis maurer says the goal is to more than just look at the wreath. We could educate them. This WALL-E, they see the coal and the bit more curious and they ask us sometimes question about the thing always the cold edge because it's this color and everything and we can actually tell them. They talk about reef ecosystems and threats to it like pollution. Careless touching and climate change. Tourist Jane buxton hopes things don't get worse. Maybe not even in my children's lifetime, but in my grandchildren's lifetime. I hope that things will have gotten to a point where we don't have to worry about climate change affecting the race. The Great Barrier Reef accounts for around 10% of the world's coral reef ecosystems. I'm Ed Donahue

Ray Richardson: Follow Bonny Eagle HS School Board for Developments
"Just like I suspect a Memphis Tennessee where I own kwa, the local radio station is becoming the platform where parents and others can come and express their concerns because they've been shut out everywhere else. Well, I think that that's true. And here's what I encourage people to do. You know, if you don't live in the disparate, then I don't suspect they will let you speak. But I've encouraged people no matter where they live in Maine, to come to the school district tonight to sit politely in solidarity with these parents who are willing to speak up. We don't want to use anger. I mean, I said this morning on the air, there were 11 members of the school board, statistically, it's incomprehensible that some of them are not Christian. And I ask one of the parents to ask this question to get up and say, instead of it being natives here, what if this was Jesus standing before you? How do you justify this film to him? Because I think it's a question that ought to be asked. So the school board meeting is tonight, a what time ray in case people want to get down there. It's at 6 p.m. and it's 94 Main Street in buxton, Maine, which is a wonderful town. A lot of people know of it. If you watch the movie, Shawshank Redemption. You remember that beautiful rock wall? Well, that was buxton name. It's a wonderful town. I don't know what's going on here. I don't understand why they want to do this. It makes no sense.

The Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, M.D.
"buxton" Discussed on The Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, M.D.
"Then this podcast might be an important one for you to listen to because it's going to challenge some of our notions that being vegan will save us and the planet. And it's with journalists and an author, British Canadian woman, Jane buxton, who's written a number of books, but has been doing intensive research on this topic of whether or not we should all be eating only plants and whether being vegan is the solution for everything. This book she wrote just came out. We're going to talk about it today called the great plant based con, challenges the dominant narrative and gets us thinking about what's really true and what the science says versus what our beliefs are. So welcome, Jane. Hi. Thank you for having me. Of course. You wrote this book, which is very provocative that the title itself is called the great plant based con, which I think will upset a lot of people. I think we've come to really understand as a culture that eating more plants and less meat is better for us and the planet and climate. But you challenge that notion and you talk about really these basic premises that have informed a lot of policy that have informed a lot of people's beliefs, behavior, and you question whether it is actually good for us or not to follow this narrative that veganism is going to save us. And you answer a number of really important questions in your book is a plant based diet better for your health. Yes or no, will it save the planet yes or no? Who's actually advocating for it and why? And how should we actually eat? So thank you for writing this book. I know a lot of the people who are in the book. There's such a casting characters who've been working on these issues for years. Many of you have been in my podcast. Like if I prevent za and David Ludwig and many others. So let's just sort of start out with the question of how did this idea that being vegan or eating only plants was the best way to eat for our health and the best way to eat to avert climate disaster and save the planet. How did that happen? Because it seems like it's just like overnight. And we have like 2% of the population is vegan in America and I don't know what it is and the rest of the world, but it's not a lot of people, but how did this become the dominant narrative? I think the dominant when it became dominant was when the argument became what I like to think of as a three legged stool. So when the argument was about exclusively animal welfare, which it used to be for animal rights activists and vegans, it traditionally is because they just don't want harm to animals. But that argument didn't get a huge amount of traction in and of itself. Once the once the arguments in favor of the diet for planetary health reasons got added in and that was the second leg of the stool and then a lot of the research was corralled around health and that was the third leg of the stool. You have this almost impenetrable, really steady, sturdy argument, because if you, if you challenge it on one leg, the other ones would over hold it up. So there was always somewhere where people could go to say, ah, but did you know about the saturated fat in meat, for example, would be a health argument thrown out. Or if you could challenge it on any level. So that's where it's had this dominance, but I think the other reason is what you alluded to in your introduction, which is there are a whole bunch of forces or organizations and groups of people who benefit from this. The uptake of plant based diet. And because there is so much for them to gain, they'll jump up and support that three legged argument as it were. With all their might and all their money because there's a lot to gain. Yeah, and so who are those people who are gaining from this? Because, you know, the Irish person who wants to be vegan thinks it's good for their health, they want to maybe not harm animals. I think maybe help to reduce carbon emissions from methane cows and factory farming, which is reasonable. But who's kind of behind this is there a number of organizations or people or why did this happen? Because I think we think that big food and big ag you know are going to be hurt by this, but in your perspective in the book, you seem to challenge that notion that actually they benefit from the world becoming vegan. How does that work? I think certain parts of big food and big egg and big pharma will definitely benefit. And I think if you added up the industry might and the size of big pharma, big food, big egg altogether, in its entirety, all the biggest companies in the world in those industries. They far outweigh the media industry. So in terms of sheer dollar power, they far outwit. But the point is, so big food, for instance. This is just a gift. This whole vegan revolution is a gift to them because it gives them an opportunity. Because it gives them another excuse to formulate products, highly processed food products that they can now sell to the public under the banner of green and vegan. Green for the planet, vegan, healthy for you. And you know, I've worked with large corporations before for 15 years I was a management consultant and I was advising companies on growth and profit strategies.

"buxton" Discussed on Effectively Wild: A FanGraphs Baseball Podcast
"So that's a split of 523 points. Of winning percentage with or without Mike squires. Now, how good was Mike squires over that period? Over that three season span he had a 66 OPS plus and amassed negative 1.6 baseball reference for. Wow. Yeah. So somehow, Mike squires was a sub replacement level player, and yet the White Sox were unbeatable with him and could not win a game basically without him. These were like the real life Ghani Jones, right? Yes. Mythical player from episode 7 22 or whatever it was the replacement level player who somehow causes his team to win and no one knows how exactly that is make squires and you look at the top of the list and it is actually largely not great players. It's like Jean Stevens for the 1956 to 1958 Red Sox Jerry Martin for the 1976 to 1978 Phillies. Gary reneke for the 79 to 81 Orioles, Raphael belly yard for the 91 to 93 braves like not superstars here, some decent players, but not superstars and I don't know what to make of this. I thought it was actually kind of curious that the top of the list seems to be so populated by not very good players and I was trying to come up with some kind of like foundation factor, yeah, is there some bias here that I'm not accounting for that would explain why there would be this kind of skew like maybe you disproportionately bench your crappy players against good teams or something. But I don't know. I can't come up with anything that would explain 18 one O 6 without Mike squires. I mean, I think that it's just largely random. I mean, Ryan's theory was that it's pretty much random and they're just generally more mediocre players than there are good players and so you would probably tend to end up with more mediocre players at the top of this list. So I'll put the full results and dataset online here and you can look up for recent years. While Byron buxton was working his magic here for the twins supposedly like maybe the closest streak to his, at least among players who were not traded midseason was like candelario for the tigers, like the tigers were way, way, way better, was candelario from 2019 to 2021 than they were without him and, you know, he was decent for them. He was quite good for them in 2020 and 2021, but on the whole during that span, he had a one O 7 OPS plus and 6 wars. So I guess the fun fact is lying to some extent. It's not a complete lie in that this is actually notable this with and without buxton streak. It's not like the greatest such streak, but it is worth pointing out. And yet it is not necessarily a testament to the fact that Byron buxton is magic and that the stats are great as they are, not completely capturing his impact on the twins. Sure. I think these sorts of with and without you fluctuations are largely random. And you would expect the twins to be significantly better with bucks than without because he's awesome. But not that much better, obviously. And you don't have to be buxton to have that kind of split and sometimes you could be Mike squires at a certain point. Like you must just look at him as like your good luck charm or something and just like, even if it's irrational, there must be some part of you that's like, hey, I noticed that when Mike squires doesn't play, we always lose. And maybe there's something that the black scores are not capturing about how Jeff coach here, but no, I think it's just largely random and, you know, like if you look at trout, for instance, who has been just as good as bucks than if not better over that span, you know, the angels I think were maybe a little bit better with trout than without, but notably, not so much the Jeff passon would tweet about it and obviously buxton is no better than trout when they are both healthy and at their full powers, so that's why the angels have not been a good team with my child because it's baseball and having one great superstar or being without one superstar isn't enough to make your fortunes are synced your fortunes. So if you're a twin spin, you want Byron bucks than to be playing, obviously. But it's not necessarily the difference between winning a hundred and winning 75. If you were a front office analyst and you were confronted with that, would you just assume we are witnessing the limitations of our ability to measure in real time? Like would that be the way that you would look at it that there must be something of like the stats just can't figure out, but there's something there, you know? Yeah, I mean, it would make me think, I guess, it was episode 7 20 was Johnny Jones. And ultimately, I think we landed on basically, you know, he would be burned at the stake or something. People would just decide that he was some sort of witch and he had some hidden power that not even he knew. And I think with that, it was like, you know, his team would make the playoffs or when the World Series, even though he was not contributing a lot. If I noticed this over a span of say several seasons, I guess it would be worth doing some kind of inquiry and just being like, hey, are we missing something about this guy? Potentially. But I think so. I think it's possible to just happen in one of those weird Pookie things. Yeah, sometimes stuff is flukey, but you would spend, I mean, some people would be like, eh, it's fluky, and they probably lead more balanced lives than we do because we'd be like, I will not sleep until I figure out this fluke. Right. Gotta find the meaning behind the flute because it would just make it would make you feel crazy. Yeah. Because you don't know it's a fluke until you look into it because in the past, maybe before we had good defensive stats, we measured framing or quantified framing. We might have looked and seen like, hey, this crappy catcher, it seems like the team wins a lot more with this guy who has no war or whatever and it's like a little actually we were just not measuring something that he was doing. For an incredibly valuable skill because we didn't know how to measure it. Right, now I don't know what that would be and make squires case. So if you're wondering who the anti squires was, it's John cangelosi for the 1988 to 1990 pirates during those years the pirates went 74 and one 70 with cangelosi that's a three O three winning percentage one 80 and 62 without cantaloupe. That's a 7 44 winning percentage. So that's a gap of 441 points in the other direction, not that cantaloupe was good, but he wasn't that bad either. And maybe this would drive home the randomness of it all. Ryan pointed this out to me from 1913 to 15 with Eddie Murphy in the game Eddie Murphy, the right Fielder, that is, the athletics went two O 7 and one 47 that's a 95 win pace over a 162 game season. And without him, they went 30 and 81. That's a 44 win pace. So that's the 13th biggest drop off of all time. But then from 1917 to 1919, the White Sox went 64 and one 15 with him in the lineup. That's a 51 win piece, but one 80 and 61 without him. That's a 121 win pace. So that's the 8th biggest gap in the other direction of all time. So Eddie Murphy can't win with him if you're the White Sox, can't win without him if you're the a's. And maybe that's the best illustration of how unpredictable all of this is. Just one of those weird things. So thanks to Jeff's tweet for prompting that investigation thanks to Ryan for the research you can find him on Twitter at RS Nelson 23 and we will just hope that buxton and shrouded everyone else just stays in the lineup, whether they have magical powers or not. They do have some magical powers and that they can hit like giant walk off homers and triples without even hitting the ball hard. So that's pretty magical. Even if it's the kind of magic we can't measure..

"Up all sorts of sports data, not just baseball data, but many sports and I just used it the other day and I don't have to come up with some artificial ad read here because I do use it and we got it at an email from a listener the other day who wrote in to say after the cubs beat the pirates 21 to nothing, I was thinking about whether or not it's rare for there to be a blowout that's also a shutout. What are the most runs that have been scored in a shout out? How many other times has one team scored 20 runs or more? Well, not allowing any, how is a question for Mitchell and I answered it in the form of a link to stad head where that was a very easy answer to get with one little search and it turned out that there have been now 6 games that had 20 or more runs scored by one team as they shut out their opponent and the most was 22 to nothing victory by Cleveland over New York in August of 2004. So again, very easy to obtain these answers and I told Mitchell go to stat dot com sign up using the coupon code while 20. And you can get those answers for yourself. So this answer is one that I was prompted to obtain by a tweet from Jeff passen, who tweeted something about Byron buxton. And buxton has just been fantastic, right? And we talked a week or two ago about the close calls that both buxton and Mike Trout had with injuries and they missed a little time, and they have come back and they've been rip roaring and it's been great to have them back and we've seen demonstrated time after time what we avoided the disaster. We avoided there by not having them seriously injured because it's just, you know, every day, something fun with them. It's buxton hitting walk offs and trout hitting like excuse me, half swing, triples. I mean, these guys are just awesome. They're the best. They are now it looks like third and 6th in major league war on the fan crafts leaderboard. So they are creeping up toward the top, and let's hope that they keep creeping up. Can we just, can we take a moment? I know. I don't want to disrupt your staff last but I want to appreciate what our top 5 is right now. And again, all of our usual caveats apply, it is very early, the differences that exist between these players right now, are teeny tiny, they are well within the error bars for war they are effectively all the same guy, whatever you want to say. But what a fun top 5. You ready? Yeah. Nolan Arenado. Manny Machado, wander Franco. Ty France. Tie, France, and Mike chart. Yep, pretty good. Yeah. Pretty good. You left that box then because he is not qualified. He's not qualified, but this is a, yeah, this is the qualified leader board if I drop my number of plate appearances down. Then we have Nolan Arenado. Manny Machado, Byron buxton, Wanda Franco ty France, and the Mike Trout. Oh my gosh. Wander? Yeah, we're gonna. And I'm sorry, we're gonna do a further digression here. There are all of these exciting young prospects. And some of them who were struggling earlier trying to find their feet and its thrilling and wander Franco is younger than all of them. Yep. Anyway, continue with your step last. Anyway, Byron brexton is awesome. He is great. He has hit 6 home runs. He is as Luke hooper pointed out in a post that fan GRAS on Tuesday he's hitting high fastballs now. He's under Ghana a very trout like transformation where it used to be that high fastballs were his bugga boo and now he is crushing those two. So fantastic. Whenever he's on the field, I mean, he and trout, you go back a few seasons at this point and on a per game basis. Trout and buckston have been the best players in baseball and that is why we want them to play as many games as possible. So Jeff passon had a tweet that was based on some research by ESPN's Paul hamke and the tweet said, since 2019, the Minnesota Twins are one 24 and 73, that's a one O one win pace with a plus two 33 run differential when Byron buxton plays in the 203 games he hasn't played. The twins are 94 and one O 9 that is a 75 win pace and negative 97 run differential. And it goes on to say in his last 162 games, buxton has 8.4 war, the definition of impact player. And yes, so not disputing the idea that baron buxton is an impact player. Absolutely he is. However, all fun facts lie to some degree, as we know. And I was curious about how much this fun fact lies, because this fun fact, you know, it kind of implies that not only is Byron buxton in 8.4 war player, but maybe he's like a 25 war player or something, something like that, right? The twins with buxton are like a 101 win team and the twins without buxton are like a 75 win team, okay? And so that is basically sending the signal that, I don't know, maybe like the stats aren't even completely capturing how great buxton is. And I'm sure that Jeff would not say that Byron buxton is a 25 win player, but why even put the numbers out there, I guess, unless you are sort of suggesting that, right? I mean, you are suggesting that the twins are like, way, way better with Byron bucks than without him. And so I got curious about this with and without and how notable is this sort of disparity, really. And I went to frequent stat blast consultant, Ryan Nelson, and the way he did this was he looked for three season spans and of course it doesn't have to be a three season span, but that's basically what this buxton fun fact was a three plus season span. And he looked up basically every three season span, and that's almost 11,000 applicable spans to qualify for the list. A player had to have played for the same team for three consecutive seasons, played at least ten games in each of those seasons, played at least a 150 games over that whole span, and missed at least 75 games over that span. So we're looking for players who actually were consistently on that team as opposed to they played for that team one year and then they were gone for the next two years or something. They had to have been with that team all three years and they had to have played in a lot of games, but also missed the significant number just so we could do a meaningful comparison here and they had to have been present in each of those teams season. So these are reasonable qualifiers, I think. And so we end up with a split again for buxton here. You know, from 2019 to 2021, it's actually a 6 31 winning percentage with buxton in the lineup for the twins over that three season span one 1869 without buxton 92 and one O 5, that's a four 67 winning percentage. So that is a one 64 point winning percentage split. That is actually the 165th largest such split out of almost 11,000. And in fact, buxton from 2018 to 2020 even bigger split. So, so far, looking like, okay, this is really worth reporting here. This is notable. This is like in the top 2% of all such splits of this kind. So it is actually pretty notable. It's not like routine. This isn't constantly happening that you have splits this big. However, you do not have to be a superstar. You do not have to be Byron buxton to have a huge split like this. And in fact, the leaders in this category are basically scrubs, no offense. So the guys with the biggest with or without them splits where their teams played way better when they were playing than when they were not over three season spends. The all time leader is Mike squires, Mike squires for the 1982 to 1984 White Sox with squires, the White Sox went two 42 and one 20. That is a 6 69 winning percentage without squires, the White Sox in those years went 18 and one O 6. 1806, that is a one 45 winning percentage..

"Is a happy medium, I believe with the ball with picture usage with everything. So swinging from one extreme to another, that's not the long-term solution that I'd like to see. Yeah, it's speaking. The ball is baking. You're baking a microchip of mixed my metaphors. It's not like making sauce, right? There's a precision to this and you can't just course correct later. It might still taste good, but you should view it like baking. You have to measure. Do it by weight, you know? How do you not test the? How are you not like drag? You know, that's pretty important. We should test that. It just seems, I don't know. It just seems pretty obvious, and it's happened enough times at this point where I'm like, it's still obvious. Isn't it more obvious now? Yeah. I've heard differing things like the league saying we did test the drag team saying they didn't test the drag. If they did test it, maybe they didn't test it sufficiently or accurately because they didn't say that they set out to increase the drag and yet that seems to have been what has happened. So anyway, I meant to mention AJ Pollock was another one of the walking wounded White Sox, although he is back now, I believe, but he had a hamstring strain as well. So anyway, we talked so much about their bullpen and how deep it was, right? And they felt comfortable trading away, Craig kimbrell, and now I don't want to say that the bullpen is Finn, but without kimberle without Kelly with copic starting that doesn't appear to be. As much of an area of strength as it once seemed to be. Anyway, we already talked about the White Sox. Just left out an injury or two there. Just wanted to ask, what does a game like angel Hernandez's game on Sunday? On national TV, Sunday Night baseball becomes the punching bag for all of baseball's fans who are watching this broadcast. We are, of course, generally anti robo ump. But what does this do to your resolve when it comes to that to have an umpire make a spectacle of himself and this was not the worst umpired game ever and I think there is a bit of confirmation bias when it comes to one of the notorious umpires who granted maybe they are notorious for a reason. If we know their names. Yeah, it's not entirely unfounded. And yet I think when we see that it is one of these umpires whose names everyone knows, maybe we read their calls a little less charitably than we would otherwise. But granted, it was bad. It was bad. According to the umpire scorecard, he had an 88% overall accuracy in overall consistency, the average is 94%. He missed a lot of calls and missed some impactful calls as well. It's funny. The one that prompted Khaled schwarber to have a kind of cathartic, I think, for everyone. At the plate and meltdown. Big feelings. Get ejected. That was good. He kept it nice and concise, but he certainly got his feelings and thoughts out there. He had to say, and then he walked out and I think everyone watching that game kind of felt like Kyle schwarber did in that moment. But it's interesting because often there will be a lot of inaccuracies, but they won't necessarily be skewed toward one team or the other. In this case, according to the ump scorecard, the calls let themselves to the brewers to the tune of .77 runs and the brewers won this game went to nothing. Now, you can't necessarily say that that was all angel Hernandez and it's not like you can just add up all of those little midi impacts of the missed calls and oh, that's how the brewer scored their one run. No, but when it was this close, I think that makes it even more visible. So when a game like that comes along, that's like exhibit a for everyone who's like robo umps now. Do you have a response to that or do you just kind of have to hand it to them? Like, yep, okay, not a great look for the human umpires game that we know and love. I mean, that can be true and I can still not like robo ups. Let's show you how. And you tell me if this is just me being stubborn. I mean, I think that what this underscores to me is that there needs to be a better mechanism of accountability within the umpire ranks because while the way that we are seeing his sort of questionable work performance manifest is in something that could be alleviated by the robo. Like the bigger problem here is that it just seems like we are not culling the ranks of umpires with sort of the urgency that we may be need to. And I know that this has become sort of a silly argument on the part of those who are like, well, doesn't this mean the umpire union is too strong? And it's like, no, it just means that you need a process by which to remove them. It doesn't mean that they can't be fired. And it's weird to be like, fire him. I don't know, angel, Hernandez, and like it's a baseball game. So I do feel kind of weird being like, eh, I fire the guy. But, you know, this is like a documented pattern of him just blowing it in really big spots and doing it with enough consistency that I think that it merits at the very least further training, but I think that this is the sort of thing that the league and the empire's union need to get together on because it doesn't benefit anyone. It doesn't work to the benefit of umpires to have guys like Hernandez who are so bad in such big moments. And I think that you're right that there is sort of a confirmation bias there and that our understanding of just how bad he is might be a little bit disproportionate to the actual gravity of these calls, but you don't have to fix this with tech you just need to fix it with better umpires. And we have them. It's not as if every umpire is this way. So no, I don't think it means we need robo umps. We just need to be able to sort of keep the line moving a little bit when it comes to new and better trained umpires to many of whom are sitting in the miners sort of waiting for that call up to the big leagues. So yeah, it's interesting because we want enough leeway that you can have catchers who distinguish themselves via their skill. And a couple of good framers in this game too, right? I mean, you had Omar narvaez, who was one of the best framers last season, and you had JT real Muto, who also was up there the brewers and Phillies were toward the top 5 framing teams in 2021. So I guess we could say, well, how much of this was angel Hernandez screwing up?.

"We're like, okay, we're just gonna figure some stuff out and then he was like, no, I'd prefer not to. Yeah. Eric Hosmer has a four 57 babbit. Yeah. Sustainable. I bet that'll go forever because you know one of the things they say about Eric Hosmer. So fast. This is like famously so fast. Yeah, really a burner there. I have actually, it's funny, 'cause you mentioned, you know, now at this point in the season, you'll stumble across slash lines every now and then be like, hey, okay, look. What did that happen? And that's sort of the same thing when it comes to team performance because I have not looked at the standings to this point. Why would you? I briefly glanced at the standings just before we start this episode because I wanted to look at one specific thing. But generally, I just don't look at the standings this early because not that these games don't count or anything, but we're so far away from actually having a sense of how the season is shaping up. But it's late April and I guess we started the season later than usual. Normally, maybe I would start to check in every now and then around this time. But, you know, at some point soon, I guess I will start periodically will keep the standings. I have not to this point. However, there are some cases where a team will surprise you in a way that is good or that is bad or that impacts their long-term chances, whether because they got off to a truly awful start where all of their rivals got up to great starts or maybe they lost a bunch of players to injury or something like that. And if you had to pick one team that has gotten off to the most discouraging start, I would say it's probably the White Sox. And I'm disappointed because I thought this might be the year when we would really get to see the fully operational White Sox in a way that we didn't last year and granted they were really good last year and they ran away with that division and their underlying numbers were probably even better than their record, but one thing that we lamented about them was that they were missing a lot of core players for big stretches of that season, whether it was Jimenez or Luis Robert or yasmani grandal or others. And so the thought of, hey, what can they do with all those guys reasonably healthy this season? That was exciting to me because a lot of these players are really fun to watch. And I wouldn't say that I'm worried about the White Sox, exactly. Worried about them missing the playoffs or even not winning this division. They're off to a 6 and 9 start. Not great, but what I wanted to look at the standing sea was, well, how far are they off the AL central lead? One and a half games. So, you know, no one is running away with that division, the twins are on top with an 8 and 8 record. So there is not a winning team in the AL central. The centrals that just scintillating year after year. What are these years? The centrals will really be like where it's at in baseball. Like we'll just be talking nonstop central, but not so much these days. So no one has really seized a commanding leader or anything in this division. And the guardians of what decent in the twins have looked decent in the tigers of looked okay. I mean, these are all decent teams, at least, and may be better than that. I still think the White Sox are the class of that division, but because they haven't gotten off to a great start and because they have, again, suffered so many injuries, right? So lay Jimenez is out again now with a pretty severe hamstring strain. You just had surgery for that. Lance Lynn. Also had surgery as well. Garrett crochet had Tommy John, right? He's done for the year. Joan moncada hasn't played. He has an oblique strain. And then there were various other maybe more minor setbacks. I mean, Joe Kelly has not pitched yet. G lido missed a couple starts or Luis Robert, strange is growing in mister series. So you have a mix of nagging day to day things and we're serious things and season ending things and it's the same sort of pattern as last season and it sucks because I just kind of want to see like how good can the white sacks be and there's just not a ton of depth on this raster, which I think has been exposed. And so, you know, if you look at the fan grass playoff ads and you compare it to the pre season odds, the white sucks are the biggest loser thus far. They have lost about 23 percentage points. So they are now down to 60% chance to make the playoffs. And if anything, I'd probably take the over on that again. I'm not really concerned about the white sex, but I would say that their ceiling has lowered now, not just because they're off to a 6 9 start. That doesn't mean that much, but because they are going to be shorthanded for a while here. So too bad, just too bad. I kind of wanted to see the White Sox vault themselves up into that kind of class of the league super team type category or not. And I think they will still win this division, but probably not by as much or as impressively as they might have otherwise. They're down to 85 wins projected, which, again, is higher than any other team is projected to win in the central because it's the AL central, but still I think they've lopped off some of their upper limits that they could potentially have achieved. Yeah, and I think that we have had our issues with the expanded playoff fields, but I think one place where you look at the central and you're like, let's assume that the White Sox win and you're thinking about which of the division winners is likely to clinch up I like right now I would say that they are a distant third in terms of who I expect to both win and then be in a position to not have to play in the wild card round. So that failure to really solidify either because of stuff that you can't fully control for like injuries or stuff that you can. Like signing depth to counter those injuries, which inevitably happen because pitchers always break, you know, there's real consequence to this stuff..

"The thing with Yelich is that he is hitting the ball very hard. He is in the 98th percentile in hard hit rate right now. So he's hitting the ball even harder than ballinger is and he's up there in average exit philosophy he's up there and max exit velocities up there in barrel rate and he is still pretty selective too. I mean, he doesn't strike out a whole lot. I guess he's striking out more, but he doesn't chase much and he still walks a lot. So I don't know like with him you would think that if it were injuries if it were the back that would manifest itself in him not hitting the ball hard but instead he seems to have gone back to his old morrowind's self with more strikeouts where he's just hitting the ball on the ground a lot and so his average launch angle is higher than it was last year, let's say, but he still hitting more than half of his batted balls on the ground and it's just hard to be an elite power hitter when you were doing that and he seemed to have corrected that. I mean, when he peaked and when he was MVP and nearly back to back MVP, it seemed that he had figured out how to hit the ball in the air a bit more often. And that's the part that confuses me, I guess, is that I could see if he just were not hitting the ball hard anymore because of physical ailments, but why would you continue to hit the ball hard and yet sort of unlearn what you've learned when it comes to not pounding the ball into the ground constantly, yandy Diaz style. So I guess that could be injury related to maybe like the knee or the back or whatever has restricted his mobility in some way that makes it hard for him to get that loft on his swing, but it's like, I guess it's a sign of optimism that he is still crushing the ball because if you could just redirect it, then he'd be all set. But that was something he struggled to do for years and years before he finally broke through and put it together for a year or two. Right, it's like, do we have the most confidence in guys ability to change? Like, which of the things is harder? And I would imagine hitting the ball hard in the first place as a harder thing to do than starting to hit it at a more optimal angle, particularly when you have hit it at an optimal angle before. So it's not as if there's no precedent for that being a component of your swing. It is just a very strange, it's a very strange thing. Like he's hitting it hard enough that I would imagine that even with the increased drag on the ball, it should be going. It will go over the fence more if it were just up in the air more than it is now. And his expected weighted on base is three 40 right now, his actual weighted on base is two 84, but three 40 as an expected rate on base. I mean, that's what it was last year too. And that is not what it was when he was 2018, 2019 when it was like a almost a hundred points higher than that. So yes, he has underperformed his bad at ball quality thus far, but his batted ball quality thus far is like a little bit above average, not superstar. Yeah, if I were a baseball player, I mean, I know that all ballplayers have to contend with this because even the guys you are incredible as they age do eventually see skill decline, like that just happens. That's part of being a human being whose body only moves in one temporal direction, right? But I'm just like too anxious of a person to be a pro ball player. I think is what we keep we keep coming to when we have these conversations, but the idea of a skill that you have previously demonstrated an ability to not only execute on, but to execute on to an MVP degree, right? It's not like he, you know, he did it okay. Like he was an MVP, you know? He was like, he was Christian Yelich, and we were like, wow, cool, yeah. And the idea that it can just leave you, potentially. I would think about it every day, and it would absolutely be to my detriment if it were me at the plate. So I hope you don't listen to the podcast Christian, I guess, is what I'm trying to say, because that feels like an intrusive thought. Yeah, well, sometimes players will have a breakthrough mechanically and then they will revert. And it's weird because you would think that, well, if they figured out how to play at that level, whether it's throwing a pitch a certain way or developing a new pitch or changing your swing or your setup at the plate or whatever it is. You'd think that you could retain that. It's one thing if you just don't have the physical skill and capacity to do it. But if you do and it was really just a matter of unlocking it by changing something about how you work physically, then you'd think that you could sustain that, but that's not always the case. I mean, sometimes players really will just peak for a year or two and it's not necessarily a fluke, but it doesn't mean that they can continue to play at that level forever or even until they really reach an advanced stage of decline physically. Sometimes it's that, yeah, you do have some nagging injury and maybe that's the case with Yelich that makes it harder to execute in that way. Sometimes it could be that teams start pitching you differently and they find a way to counteract whatever you manage to unlock there or maybe you just get into bad habits for some reason and you just forget how to do what you were doing so well or a coach changes or something else about where you're playing or how you're playing changes or something's going on in your personal life that we don't even know about. So you can't necessarily count on these things continuing, but it is confounding when you have someone like that who played at that level for a couple of seasons and obviously the brewers banked on him continuing to play at a very high level because they gave him a long-term contract to do just that. So, you know, I guess there's still some hope as long as he is still crushing the ball, then you kind of can convince yourself hope maybe he's just one adjustment away from crushing the ball in the air instead of on the ground. He's done that before. There is some precedent for him making that adjustment. So I guess there's still hope, but it's not something that he's really provided me with much more faith that he can do in the small sample that we've seen thus far this season. Yeah, it's like when in 2020 Eric Hosmer was just like putting the ball in the air and we were all like, oh wow, like maybe he finally figured it out and then he was really not very good at all last year, although I am now for the first time sort of engaging with Eric Hosmer's early 2022 line and hey, look at you, Eric. Good for you, friend. We aren't Friends. I don't dislike him necessarily. We're just not acquainted friend it was a weird thing to say, but yeah, it was like, you sit there and you're like, okay, for a 156 plate appearances, you had it sort of figured out that you had to hit the ball, even some amount in the air. Right. You know, it wasn't like he had a crazy launch angle, but some amount in the air. Like his average launch angle was like, who? Or something the year before? And then, you know, it was like 8.7 in 2020. We're like, okay, we're just gonna figure some stuff out and then he was like, no, I'd prefer not to. Yeah. Eric Hosmer has a four 57 babbit. Yeah. Sustainable. I bet.

"And so he had surgery and he was done for the year and maybe he'll be back to full strength next year, but sucks for Michael conforto, obviously, because as we discussed, he did turn down a big extension offer from the Met's previously and also turned down the qualifying offer from the mets. So that's unfortunate. I mean, that happens at times. That's why sometimes certainty is important. I mean, we talk all the time about how often these long-term contracts can be team friendly, but there are those cases of players who that team friendliness. I mean, the teams can assume the risk that something might happen to a particular player because they have a whole lot of other players and a lot of money, but players it's just a sample of one. It's just those players. And so often they bet on themselves and it works out just fine for them, but every now and then you suffer an unfortunately timed injury. And you end up maybe missing out on a ton of money, which isn't to say that he couldn't come back and get a bigger deal down the road, but right now, I don't know, either he is shaking his fist at the universe or kicking himself for just generally lamenting the way that things work sometimes or maybe he is very philosophical about the whole thing and it doesn't bother him all that much and he's not going to be out on the street or anything, but yeah, not fortuitous timing for Michael. Yeah, it's one of those things where we kind of thought he would that he might end up taking like a pillow contract next year and now he really will be. Yeah. So that's too bad. It's just you feel bad for the guy. It's one of those things that with the benefit of hindsight he would just be he'd just be a rehabbing met and what's newsworthy about that really. Might not even talk about it. Yeah. Although the mets are off to a great start. So far this season. And otherwise, but in better, we're encouraging news about an outfielder. I guess bellies back? I don't know if yelling is back yet, but belly seems to be back, right? Cody Bellinger is hitting a one 49 WRC plus thus far through 16 games. He is hitting the ball hard. He is in the 91st percentile when it comes to hard hit rate. He seems to be catching up to some pitches that he would not have caught up to last year and, you know, there was a lot of concern about him coming off of the disastrous last season. He had so many injuries that it wasn't clear whether the injuries were responsible or not, and then he kind of retooled his swing again and in spring training, he struck out a ton, and there were more fears, but the Dodgers kind of bet on him when they traded AJ Pollock and committed to Bellinger and Gavin Lux, who's also been great thus far the Dodgers. I think are tied for the mets in run scored so far this season among the league leaders in offense. And Bellinger's been a big part of that. So it's still a smallish sample I don't want to declare him back to MVP form necessarily. He still striking out a ton and probably will continue to do that. But he has hit in the ball parter and he's overall been very productive. So that is encouraging news. Yeah, I think that we have seen sort of fits and starts from him in the last, I don't know, two, three years where we're like, oh, everything is gonna be fine and then it kind of plummets. So there is precedent for this being a short lived return to form, but it has seemed to be a good one so far, and that's pretty encouraging from a guy who notched like just, it's not, it's almost unbelievable how bad he was last year and granted he was hurt and so he missed a ton of time. Like he only played 95 games. I think I'm looking now 350 plate appearances. So he clearly, you know, he was injured and then he appeared to be at times compromised when he even was on the field, but like a 48 WRC plus. I mean, we talked in the off season. I think the conclusion that we reached is that they wouldn't do it, but we felt the need to entertain the question is Cody Bellinger and non tender candidate. Yeah. And, you know, he clearly wasn't, but we had a pretty decent sense of what he was likely to make an arbitration even with the down year. And you know, this is another place where the Dodgers are the Dodgers, and they are able to press an advantage. See, this is the advantage that everyone in baseball should try to press, right? Is the money advantage? What fund that would be? We would be over the moon if everyone was like, no, I'll just spend more than you did. That sounds great. But like, you know, a lot of teams faced with Cody Bellinger's production in a potential $17 million arbitration deal with just like move on. And do other stuff in the Dodgers are like, it's just money. So far, they are being rewarded for that foresight. Will he continue? But it's pretty nice so far. Yeah, and as for jelly, Christian Yelich of the brewers, I don't know what to make of him anymore, because on the one hand, he's been dealing with various injuries. He had the knee injury and the surgery, which was pretty serious. It seemed to coincide with him no longer being in otherworldly player and just going back to basically being a league average hitter more or less. And then he had back injuries and kind of like a chronic recurring back issue and that's something that concerns me for a player. I mean, you go back to Don Mattingly there are lots of examples of hitters who have had back issues that have just sapped their power pretty much permanently..

"I didn't expect there to be any super intriguing revelations in here, just so much had been reported already. But the only thing that made me think that maybe there was something to hide there was that they were fighting so hard to go hard. And I know they said it's like, oh, the legal principle of the thing and all that. But that wasn't really why they were fighting this, I don't think. So probably, I don't know if they could do it all over again. I wonder whether they would just, you know, have it come out without all of the hubbub and just kind of die instead of persisting for years and building up anticipation that there would be some bombshell news in this letter. Yeah, I was sort of in the same spot that you were on the one hand. I was like, we are lucky to have a number of very good investigative reporters who have decided that baseball is interesting enough to them to have them beat the subject of their investigation. So I was sort of of the mind that if there was some really dramatic revelation here that fundamentally altered our understanding of either the duration of their science dealing activity or the scope of it, that we probably would have heard about it before now. Because, you know, it seems like we hear about these things, but there was a time when we didn't know about the banging scheme either. So I was like, what is in there? What'd you get? What you get. So yeah, I don't know. I think that we have had so many opportunities in the last couple of years to think about sort of where we want to draw the line in terms of what is pressing a competitive advantage versus pressing it too far to the point of undermining the competitive integrity of the game. And I don't know that our understanding of that is altered all that dramatically by what was reported today, but I think it does underscore again as we are embarking on an era of, say, where we have a new technology that we understand. And I think with good reason, I don't think we need to be overly paranoid about it, but that we understand to be very secure, that there will forever be incentive within the game to kind of try to crack the code or press as far as you can before you get your wrist slaps. I mean, one of the things that we also saw in this piece by Andy was that subsequent to the start of the season, there has already been a memo issued to teams by the league's VP of on field operations, Michael hill, that they are not to use their replay room to zoom in on the new pitch devices, right? So there is going to continue to need to be really strict sort of observation and scrutiny of new tech as it enters the field so that it is being used in the way that it is intended. And you know, we don't necessarily have to look at the league and say that they have a great track record with this stuff. Like it's not surprising to me that they didn't anticipate all the uses of replay, they didn't anticipate that we would try to find an out in between the basin a guy's shoe. So, you know, sometimes it's hard to see this stuff coming and sometimes there's sort of like an unexplained innocence to the way. The league imagines teams are going to implement and use new tech, but we just gotta keep an eye out. You know, I don't love the surveillance state, but I also think that we don't want another banging scheme on our hands. All right, well, I doubt that is going to be the last word on the sign stealing scandal. And if Evan relic is still working on his Astros book, then maybe there will be more revelations to come in the future. But that lays to rest at least the long and tortured saga of the Yankees letters. So we can close the book on that chapter at least of the science doing story. So roki sasaki, he gave up a hit on his very first pitch of the game and that ended his 52 batter streak of perfection. This was on Sunday in Japan. So two consecutive, perfect starts, 9 innings and 8 innings plus an additional batter in the start before that. And there was no suspense on Sunday because he gave it up immediately and he got shelled by rookie sasaki standards, which is that he went 5 innings, gave up 6 hits, three walks, two hit by pitches, two runs four strikeouts, still won the game, but was far from perfect. However, you know who was close to perfect was Matt shoemaker. Remember Matt shoemaker, the darling of my minor league freedom to draft. I do. Indeed. I was very upset to hear that he had signed with the yomiuri giants. I mean, good for Matt shoemaker, not so good for my manual league free agent team, but he took a perfect game into the 7th inning in his most recent start and ended up pitching a believer complete game shutout and now through three starts for yomiuri. He has pitched 21 and two thirds innings and he has a 1.66 ERA. So I guess I called the Matt shoemaker sense. I was just wrong about the league and the team and the continent and all that instead of being with the San Francisco Giants as he was in the minors last year. He is with the omihi giants and that seems to be working out well, but I am getting zero credit for that for my batter week creative team. So it says small consolation that he is indeed pitching well, although it does make me think so far that some team might have been smart to bring him back because I thought he really had broken out and gotten it back together late in his minor league season last year. But because of the lockout, presumably, he just had to sign somewhere and I'm sure he got a good deal and maybe he'll come back in the future, but thus far it's working out for yomi or he's just not working out for me. Maybe future minor league for each and drafts will work out some kind of like partial credit for playing time in NPP or something because that's happened before that players that someone has drafted not necessarily me has ended up citing in a fire and league and thus we get no credit for them, which is unfortunate, maybe it's a major league. It's quite a high caliber league. They should get some kind of credit. So not suggesting we retroactively change the rules here, but perhaps in future additions. I think that you get credit for it in the same way that like I get credit in properly assessing that Patrick wisdom would be useful. I just got the year that he'd be useful in wrong and granted even I blessed with the self confidence that I am would not have thought that he would have turned in some of the seasons that he has. So that's entirely Patrick's doing. But I think you get you get credit for properly assessing the skill, even if it ended up being deployed in another very good league that just happened to not be MLB. I'll take it. Is that generous of me? I mean, I haven't looked. I think I am doing pretty badly in the minor league free agent draft so far. So I might be trying to work the rest a little bit here to get some dispensation on the back end. Yes, yeah. I have not updated the numbers or what to see how either of us is doing. I don't know. I assume that Penn Clements will be both of us. We shall see. In other news, Michael conforto also not going to be playing an MLB this season although for different reasons. He ended up having surgery for that shoulder injury that he sustained at some point over the off season initially when Scott Boris agent revealed that it sounded as if he would be able to work his way back, but evidently he couldn't really throw, which is a problem for an outfielder..

Have you unprinted anyone in. If so how many i have but i. I don't even know how many it's oftentimes like. I just start on on friend people. Because i don't feel like arguing contexts.

"Bound for greatness me joe tracks so ignore us and and just monologue louis you know joe would sit behind my dad. May he faces at lou of blow job faces and stuff and then louis would always chuckle and sow many. Should put your dad on your show. That's the thing to do so we tried it. But then i thought i found it. I find it painful. Because i don't have very close touchy feely relationship with my dad rian. It's not what my family's like and so if you're at a professional situation things get complicated anyway. No matter who you're working with and if it's your dad that it's even more difficult where we were in a beatha remember. We went to one one my dad used to do. During the day we'd hang out and go to the beach and stuff and joe busted my dad taking photographs of topless women totally on his shape. Sit there and occasionally just go. Oh my good- get out my salon. Mango wonderful his creepy catchphrase was. She's got nice eyes. She's miles away. Where you even lovely is and so my so. Joe would be saying mr buxton as really not appropriate. You're not doing that position. Because i'd be like joe man. It's my line. He's not total. Sex is expert be pleased. Can we end up filming until clinical space in space. No that's the show space. Is the club in a beef and as long night and we haven't really got that much stuff because my dad was so appalled by the whole scene that he he was grumpy about and again. It was this tirade of negativity that we had to kind of minimize joe said go. There was a guy that danzig semi-naked with a tiny off on very kind of muslim guy on or greased on a podium. Kind of thing. Grooving around and joe got to come over and start grooving around my dad and wrapping himself around my dad and my death walking free me. You know so not. That's beyond the joke that he's not amusing anyway and then we ended up in the car park outside space with me saying to my dad. Listen you are not being professional. Totally unprofessional flipped at. Don't you get me a professional. Suddenly i was his son again rather than his employer is very fraught. the whole. That's why i have having said that more. The more often than he was total trooper and he and he inhaled when it was asked of. So you're talking breasts. And i think that very much enjoying the music videos that you power which have come for your buck. Yeah but the the one about the my amazing. That's right. I added he pops up in that and he pops up as well in the video. We did for summertime. Blues by guitar will which directed leon beach with dodging explosions. That's awesome as well as an officer. They're very you kind of want to watch these that you get stuck in your head. The songs always wanna watch them loads and loads of time. So they're amazing. But i wanted to ask you about that. Was this spoiler. Don't listen to this. The end of the radio lady woman in the video takes her top off sieve our cs and revise the same woman rights. You at the six. That's right the ice the ice queen. Yeah maiden she takes. She finally takes her clothes off at the end in reveals that she instead of breast. She has penises cox. Yes bought in real life. Did you get to see actual know very keen when she shouldn't feel more uncomfortable than she needed. So we also for tracking purposes. We put bits of colored tape. We put some cox on her feel uncomfortable. Is you take her up now. I it's my nightmare to. I mean i guess i was taking the piss a little bit in that moment of videos that did seem to rely on getting women to take their tops. Yes it just seems like a lazy fall. Back position really in this day and age and i can't believe that so many directors still but then if you take the piss out of that you are presented with the reality to be exactly the same asking a stake atop so yes. I agonized about it and said listen. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable and put these. Are you okay with these big bits of tape. And is there any way i could actually put them on myself and she was very nice about it and i wasn't allowed to put myself in a couple of good. I am disappointed in you. And i was going well. Let's talk about adam. And joe win the nineteen ninety s. Did you see lien herring us your big seek two rivals when we were very jealous. View and yeah. I remember being really very envious of the fact that you to us. You seemed like the mainstream like the established comedians. There was a magazine at the called deadpan s. And you're on the cover of that. And i remember very clearly. The headline there was a picture of you. Guys have walking down the street like a couple of rockstars and said attack attack attack all hail the new heroes of comedy or something like that. I just thought balk those bastards and then next is she dead and won't bust the only front cover. I've ever been on anything. I remember being very impressed by that. And then impressed by the levels of ingenuity in your in your tv show and i think we we wanted to do a thing where we had flash frames information at the end of the parts of our show just before the outbreak. But then you guys did exactly the same thing very cleverly and then we so. We agonized for ages like shit. This is just going to be a total rip off. Leeann herring her. What are we going to do.

"Adam. Joe with joan both cheesy the love active on some films and stuff. You've been neither would jump ahead to that one year when i got constant three film proper big like stardust was like a big. You know what. I've got a story about stardust but i'm not sure if i should tell it because i really shouldn't lord mcalpine rape you when you're a child. Don't don't don't tell that story unless you come back up. And men bats lord mccower. It was a different guy. Each opening to someone who looked very much like laura visited the set. Now this is mike it out. You can tell if you're right and then we can decide later if you want to put it onto the onto the internet as people will listen to it and probably some of them recording. Well mike system eyestone is at the front. Condensed version was that. I blocked about it. I was just. I had a blog at the time. And i was i was just being candid and fun about my experience on the thing. Instead of like teased machiavellian about some of the films that he'd made on this blog about what's it called The one with madonna in it not good on theories it swept away thanks very much and only because he had been joking about it himself on the set but then he read the block did he caught crabs and it was fairly clear has thereafter that i would never ever together part in any matthew form fill ever again and probably not any other film and sure enough the phone incredibly quiet for for many years after that but luckily i got a part in the persuasion sts which is amazing. Amazing see sitcom you guys know that oman full around the appetizing appetizing interesting on its head. It's never really conflict lasting from the persuasions and so everything was fine thereafter was i could have improved it. She should've put shrek shrek in it. But this is the additional thing that would really made it were. The shrek would be played by tim from the office. The actor the carrot by timperley office as just then maybe probably not just want around the back of the same. Come in our quite like you to remake frame for frame but try not just put this superimpose in the background. Who would he'd be replacing knowing we just an extra. He's a my belief is if you put shrek in anything not the shrek shrek asura into anything will make it a hit. I refer to shrek the musical. Should shrek the musical as an example of the shrink shrink the movie. Shrek shrank to they both after exit baby bush tracking it people love people love shrek and i'm tricks in general. Even look that much like the original shrek. This is recognizably. Shrek but it would also have to recognize tim from the office as well that confuses things though doesn't it is just because you don't want to the days doubling stubborn doubling the strength because tim from the office in the persuasion that would have made it a lot better. Well yeah if you put the entire constantly office in a persuasions and then rewritten. Using the words from the office it probably would have improved it to be honest. But i mean hard to do though because it was a very good show we did. We did exactly what we set out to do. Which is to with people's minds but it's all very arbitrary. I think is these things get judged up to one episode and then that's kind of what it was one of those things that when when we were making it. None of us really knew like people always ask. Did you know when you were making it. What you make and i have to say no. None of us really knew the impact. I guess looking back on it. It felt special short felt special but none of us really knew how how what an impact he was going on each one of our careers. We couldn't have now. It's only in retrospect that you know these things but people are still talking about it. Even if it's mainly you. I don't get too many. Yeah it's made me me but it does matter it because then you've gone on to as in a way it's like a like spinal tap moment. You should envy yourself. You've gone onto kind of do your own stuff with the bulk. I mean to be serious though. You know you have moments where you well you just sort of. Try everything really do you. I mean you can be a bit pointless to be. I haven't gone master plan. And got one thing that i'm so amazing that i've got to stick to that and ho- nat and only do that in anything away from the planet's going to fuck up the impact of that amazing thing that i do just trying out lots of things in trying to see which one of them works. Which one of a dozen. But you've done. I was watching loads stuff today. Actually 'cause that's the kind of prepare and there's an amazing variety of stuff like over the whole twenty years working twenty years. I suppose really twenty eight twenty years and have jumped around from films and then just music videos i saw. I don't know how you pronounce the name of the band. One dies or one of these. The one that is is that they would like to die what they wanna die. You get chance to check out that. I've never seen this before but this on your website isn't there has been this just one of the funniest things i've ever seen. I agree with me on stilts. Yeah you're on still some big furry boots gigantic. I have a just a waistcoat on so my my hairy belly is experienced one piece of hassle sticking up in the like some kind of a french or something strenuous dance but you would think if you got him as a script a man a small man are still like furry shoes. Just dust ceram veer. Four minutes that was garth jennings who direct. Yeah and so. He suggested that we do something. Because i kept on saying like you know. Because i know lots of directors and i'm always trying to get in their work somehow. One one particular director has been particularly resistant to my efforts. Joe obviously he gave me the part of voiceover of a nature documentary in the back of the scene of his debut feature garth. And when i got the job of he directed his his debut. Film was the adaptation of hitchhiker's to my vice puts him from the office needed an immediate administration as well. Then it would have been okay. Maybe should have had some more shrimp emotions putting my i. Didn't i didn't.

Though somebody doesn't these dvd's the terrorists were very hard on the should work harder producing good quality dvd copier. I think yeah exactly and then they would be indistinguishable from the sell through ones. What would that do that would plunge the world into confusion and destroy the economy of the west. Yeah there is that. I don't really care that much though. I sometimes my policy at ever illegally downloaded anything. Yes i'm going to do with any of my stuff. We see i disagree. I i strongly promote the illegal downloading of anything. That i've ever been involved with i is. I don't make any money from anywhere so i couldn't give a fuck. I think people are very welcome. I'm sort of flattered and delighted if anyone would spend any amount of time trying to download anything i've ever done. The only thing that i think is commercially available. That i've done is the adam and joe. Dvd which was a compilation. Not even the whole set of the series series. We done on channel four thinking of grandma. My wife has a copy of this. Dvd right. i never. I'm very proud of i. Object probably watched it. I've watched it. Because i was interviewing. You probably should watched all of it. Don't worry about. It can be probably a lot of time. It's it's a beautiful object and we agonized about every aspect of it visually and design to ourselves. And were about it. So i think people probably well advised to go and buy that actual but if they want to see it really badly and just download bits of it fine. I'm not against. I think he does become a phenomenon and download breaking bad like the current ones. You can't get by that when it comes out. Yeah exactly. I've done that same kind of thing myself in another life admit to. I've been doing this beautiful carefree sued for anything that we're less quickly.

If i if i had native american indian named it would be falls at hurdles because i never rise to challenge whatsoever in any time i get an opportunity or i'm in an exciting environment. I fuck it up underwhelmed and that one of my first acting jobs. And i've i've always liked the idea of being actor and always wanted to act and i've intimately got these little opportunities and that was one of the very first thanks to charlie higson. Who is writing and directing that show. I think so. I was really excited about it and then turned up. And you know vacant barb. They're all my heroes in one place at the same time. I didn't have much to do. I think all i had to do is go up some stairs. i think. In revenge of the pope people. I was a security guard. And very you know just went up the stairs charlie hickson said. Do you want to do anything else. Any other kind of stuff you want to do. Make it more funny or anything now. I'm fine. I i can think of anything because i didn't feel as if i was in a position to unveil some amazing stick. You know what i mean. It could've tripped on every single step. Does that recently as right or my trousers gradually fall down revealing my genitals by the top of the staircase. What about that. Johnny right for the slot that we have thanks. I have felt confused by why i was there in the first place. Really and just overawed by become bob and i had a conversation with res in his caravan about cheese and it seemed to me that i was actually in some sort of weird sketch to about cheese. And also what's the other thing that he's a real expert in is kind of blood sausage or something like that so talking about like favorite kind of cheese and thinking. Wow he's really like that actual stuff he talks about and i kept on expecting to suddenly talk about something nor but he didn't want to my emergency questions that yeah. What is your favorite type of cheese cheese cheese. So that was the other thing was. I couldn't really partake of the compensation. It was shit. Hey cheese if you had to eat one of them no which one which you e i suppose premila. Some of them are nights. You should give him ago really. Likes the diseases. Well the like the stench of death feet and death. The really smelly ones can be some very bland. It's either very much smell of feet in death or he's just a little bit not too bad it's like he's just died not just taking this obesity beaten. Not too bad yeah. That's fine. it's either that or it's like jesus it's the walking dead. I'm from cheddar. I find this anti cheese. Talk very upset. Story is the best cheese in the world cheddar. Is this something you eat a lot of cheese because cheese one of the few things. That isn't good for you. That i don't really know very much because it's not very good food. Yeah yeah so. I've kind of given up on a bjp pizza no. I don't i mean that's that's the only learning stuff. I learn things about says la you this that you know i i. I'm so envious of people who do eat pizza. Because i can see that it's clearly like one of the great things in the world. There's no smell of death fully. just nice. It's all mel in. Sometimes i've gone and tried to join in gone to a pizza restaurant and ended up just getting like some dough with a couple of anchovies and some tomato sauce.

I'm something god retrospectively. I mean all kinds of trouble so fuck but the best advice. I can give to any perspective and i did say this about the last before it went down. I think i think david mitchell treated me the best in the interview the way after we interviewed by me is to treat me as if i'm a quite intelligent five year old child is i think that's what he did. And so the questions put to you know not a six hundred six year old and intelligent five wrote that is that's why they go is much give this. It'll go haven't pretty a plan this. I've got new iphone.

Who is the best by the end of my existence Look i know you're gonna love this. I absolutely adore talking to this man. And he's tiny. He's harry This was when he wasn't an orphan. And but you know that emotional vulnerability has made him a greater podcast. And that's why i had to have a heaven. Bollock taken off this year just to try and catch up with him. By having some a little bit of vulnerability behind it just seems to have made me copy of that isn't it. Ironically i suppose it's moby copier in two ways really.

Welcome to the cost as the cook calling. Hannah's two per it's been primed face task. Guess adam buxton coming up. But i i will attempt stand up. That was not as good as the stuff just did. I will mention that. I asked last week for people to send in essays. About the the mick jagger day frankie boyle dave gorman's ringo starr conundrum that was discussed at length. I only got one say from rowan. -sego which may not be israel name. It's a poor effort. There's only two sides of four long. I would have given it. Might be d. minus baz is the only entry. Here's one he doesn't give his address psyche has than anything but my favorite thing about is the all the way. Through he refers to mick jagger as mick jagger as if he's a scottish man the people here knew about already which is why it didn't get as big as parents is funnier than the people. I've read the whole thing. We might put that out as an extra podcast for you. Because it's very interesting for promises. Mcalpine his in the news for he is not a beautiful as the non non-paedophile is unusual amongst conservative politician in the has decided to sue people. That's why is unusual. He's decide the super bowl tweeted about him. I think he does he of is one thing joking around on twitter making joke arena podcast but to just one thing is fine but just to stay openly someone is is a crime is what is one they as is a tower. Think he's he's going to sue. Anyone tweeted apparently. This is planning to for five pounds. If he tweeted or re tweeted that he will sue. You have to five pounds to a children's charity and it's nice to see the non-paedophile can do charity. Work is that is that makes me feel a lot better. So lord mcalpine is doing some great work for people who just because they nice report. They don't really they don't even want to get the that just doing it. Because they think let's give some money to disadvantage. People might sneak into five parents. It's quite good value for the libeling. Someone that's that's not so bad if i was thinking. Now which tori mp do. I wanna falsely accused of being fee. I saw actually five pounds could do all of the tory. Mp's because i all tory mp's rpd. That's my plan. I'm happy by five grid. W about two thousand five hundred quid. But the thing is some of the probably arpita fall. So they won't. They won't be able to sue me back so it's not even in a sense if you think about the biglou. Don't sue me are sort of saying that they are also is a good way of flushing amounts to find the real ones of any. Let's say all of them make you fat. Because i don't really trust the liberals anymore so let's say all mp's pedophiles at six hundred and fifty people who consume me and don't sue me five pounds. Now this we've done.

"Experience if you can talk about that. Joe purchase patterns drug use. How they become involved in in the drug trade then enables us to develop better job policies. I would argue. So that's really the aim they're looking at. Whether reform improves the quality of our drug policies. Obviously that meet leads to us. Well one of the goals of reformed policy gonna be so does decriminalization ablett's to achieve better health outcomes. That's a community security outcomes. That's what we're trying to look there. So those are the two elements of this piece of research and back to manchester to do it. And i'm very very fortunate. The reason i really wanted to be at manchester university it was because the department of criminology. There is fantastic. Have wonderful colleagues there and see for major divulge you really you know. His pioneered looks. Work on dot net job markets and also women's joke purchases and sales dot net job markets. But the other great value of manchester is. It really. Gives the opportunity for interdisciplinarity but interdisciplinarity in broadway. And what we're trying to do also with graham is move out. they'll social science silo. Talking to people in laurel criminology development. On what trying to do now is have these conversations with people in clinical sciences pharmacology. Try and see you know ensure we have this better bridge between social and medical and clinical sciences. Because we're all working in silos. And that i think is very different from places like switzerland or portugal where we saw these job policy reforms move forward quite successfully. Why don't you note drugs as a group revert to it. So we're very happy to discover the same way on. Of course we'll do what we can to help. And we look forward to having feedback to us and for the next four years as your research goes would cash dot net. How do you research it while you can ask me about the about the dot net. I would probably see. I'm kind of moved slightly away from the dalton at the the focus on gender recently in terms of researching the dominant the type of work. I was doing a couple of years ago. I was at swansea at the global policy. Observatory there on what we were trying to do. In the client of original kind of developments these donald duck markets was just looking at how people were selling on their how they were rating cells on the looking at how the dot net job markets were basically mimicking what was going on in the light markets such as ebay kind of places like that so it was really looking at how joke were marketing. How they were transposing. The model that you have in the in the kind of former markets onto these dominant markets so access the net markets.

"buxton" Discussed on The Drug Science Podcast
"Like poland and hungary where we see such regressive steps around lesbian gay l. he writes around laws on drug policy very very conservative. Patriarchal misogynistic retrenchments. I'm the great opportunities that i did have in particular with things like being able to work with the roma community doing harm reduction projects with the roma community but kind of seeing those levels of exclusion and poverty. Racism in a different european context was quite stopping quite an eye opener. I mean i'm i'm genuinely interested. In were you think the pendulum swinging back towards the right to towards petty. Nationalism is the media. is it politicians. Is it syria. The syrian refugees is some of. What's driving this. Because i find disconcerting never imagined it would happen because we saw heaven yugoslavia's twenty years again. It's different in each country. I think it no no. It's been very interesting to kind of combat from budapest to the context in the in the uk. Where i think. Also we're seeing this rise a very kind of exclusivist. National is not. The kind of inclusive is civic nationalism. That tends to underpin most manifestations of patriotism. I think in the context of countries like hungary and poland. And what we saw. Was you know a real backlash against what was perceived to be. External interference external intervention in hungarian domestic political affairs. We had the whole situation with the syrian refugee crisis coming through the country which was very very poorly handled by the hungarian government gain even though we had best practice and lessons learned from the european union not wasn't really rolled out in hungary. And the way you know we dealt with the refugee situation coming through that country there it's a search for identity but there's also the very critical reality. She's about united media control. It's about appointments in the judiciary that enable far more authoritarian kind of government profile. So this is the political maneuvers in this the the political culture but ultimately i think what we're seeing this kind of retrenchment back into nativist ideals is very very problematic would is the solution question..
