A New Podcast Featuring Sports

So Steven Johnston and myself decided to start a podcast. It’s a podcast in which we talk about sports. Steven needed to scratch an itch to talk about sports now that he doesn’t get to do it on a regular basis. And I, well…I just like talking about sports period. The format is quite simple. Each week, we both will bring one topic to the table for discussion and we’ll spend about 25 minutes giving our opinions on each topic.

In the opening scene of Back to the Future, I love how the director sneaked a clock in there that has Doc. Brown hanging from the clock tower. #genius.

Sitting here writing my sports report for tomorrow morning. Crazy that I can still come up with 2 minutes worth of stuff to talk about. Sports held hostage day 29.

In other news, The Shaq Life premiered tonight and I’m a fan so far.

So yesterday we ranked our top 5 sports movies on the podcast. This doesn’t mean the best movie (Oscar winners, etc). This means our personal top 5.

The podcast will be out later today and you’ll hear our list. I’m interested to hear what your top 5 would be.

Rent was so ahead of its time. Who would have known that 24 years later we would still be dealing with a lot of the issues Jonathan Larson wrote about. #SeasonsOfLove

Hugh Jackman makes me sick. The ability to play Wolverine and then pick up a songbook and belt out notes that I can only dream of hitting.

Decided to go old school today while working at home.

Listening to The Greatest Showman soundtrack.

Wednesday I will be starting a new sports podcast with ‪@StevieJ1077

Why sports when there’s a pandemic you ask.

Why not!

Still blows my mind that Garth Brooks was able to put a million people in Central Park for a concert.

Creativity

I heard someone say the other day (ok, I actually read it on Twitter but not sure where) that in the next few months we should see some of the greatest content and creativeness happen. I believe they were talking about podcasting in particular and how we should probably see some amazing podcasts start during this lockdown time. I think, though, we may see some pretty amazing things happen all over the creative spectrum.

I just got challenged to a 30-day pushup challenge. This could be fun.

Easter Sunday is going to look a lot different this year for a lot of churches.

No gym means being creative with workouts. Currently I am doing a six week pushup and squats challenge. Week one and it’s kicking my tail. Which is good I guess.

Ok this face also does a good job of cheering me up.

Been a rough couple of days around here. One thing that can always cheer me up though: Looney Tunes.

Today in Sports: April 1st

1919 - The final game of the 1919 Stanley Cup was canceled due to the worldwide epidemic of influenza. No winner was declared in the series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Seattle Metropolitans. 1930 - Leo Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs broke the altitude record for a catch by catching a baseball dropped from the Goodyear blimp 800 feet over Los Angeles, CA. 1931 - Jackie Mitchell became the first female in professional baseball when she signed with the Chattanooga Baseball Club.

One thing working from home has done: it has allowed me the opportunity to dive further into the 2020 Digital Planner created by @shawnblanc

I feel like 2020 is a win for me simply because I put all the Christmas totes in the attic before April 1st.

Watched a replay of Garth Brooks receiving the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song last night on PBS and now I can’t stop singing his songs. #WeShallBeFree #TheRiver

Just connected a mouse to my iPad Pro for the first time and wow is that a nice feeling.
