My mind is swirling with commentary thoughts on your proposed topics. Main thought…I am so happy you got the lag worked out because I stopped watching for a few episodes.

Bill, the sports industry should absolutely adopt the gender-neutral standard; we’re practically there anyway. If we keep on this track, the categories will just be “Men’s” and “Men who couldn’t make the Men’s”. Barring that, however, I sure hope that the states who have chosen to protect Women’s sports programs don’t back down. It’s time to double down & go on the offense. More states should join in, fans should tune out, and together we can make the NCAA and the leftist-fascist-woke mob backpeddle for a change.
Oh, and Scott: you should watch Hurling. It’s an Irish sport that is a mix between field hockey, baseball and a barroom brawl. Those dudes are swinging their bats every which way, and I’m sure many have found the mark.

Bill and Scott — why don’t one or both of you have your own lightning round episode and make Steve comment on your stories? Two can play at that game, right?

Why not separate sports leagues by ability or muscle mass, each of which can be measured? You may get a couple women on the A team and men on the B team, but it will be a bit more balanced than putting huge men on the women’s team.

There is an excellent article and quoted Twitter article at ‘View From The Porch‘ about the design of Tasers and the stress confusion probabilities of confusing them for firearms.
The gist of the article is the question “Why are Tasers shaped like handguns?”

I just noticed that Scott wears the same shirt in nearly every backstage segment. Is it his lucky shirt? Maybe we need to pitch in a get him another shirt. LOL

Steve, that Rippeno (sp) story reminds me the old saw about how George Schultz brought in his diplomates and asked them to point to the country on the globe that they represent.

I think it is unfair, UNFAIR, and I’m being discriminated against. I should not be denied a sportsball trophy just because I’ve no interest in playing sportsball! It’s discrimination!

Laugh tracks are getting a new life. Sometimes when Mark Dice is commenting on a CNN broadcast he dubs in a laughtrack. And it’s as awesome as it sounds.

Agreed. So who’s held to a higher standard? So many claim it’s the police, but that is uncertain. It’s definitiely not the political elites like Bill and Hilary Clinton who are held to a higher standard of behavior of performance. If one is prone to mistakes, then it pays to have powerful friends with guns.

The other day Little Bob saw a thumbnail preview in my YouTube feed that had a video on women’s soccer. The pic featured a screaming Megan Rappitoe (sp), leading him to ask, “Daddy, who’s that angry guy?”

Great, now I have to clean spit-take coffee off my desk; but that’s funny.

“And the more children they have, the more likely they are to have daughters” – Nobody told me there would be math in this week’s backstage!

I was thinking the other way, that liberals are far less likely to have children and thus not likely to have girls that are affected.

Regarding Steve’s topic, the thing TV probably does get right is that one fat, slow, and sometimes overbearing desk jockey cop that couldn’t pass a physical if he had to, and while I wouldn’t suspect the lady cop in MN is that kind, the concept of someone (cop, soldier, etc) out in the field with no business being in the field does come to mind.

Also, there is a radio host in this area that is a former cop and was on the radio the other day with a “how it could happen” and brought up that adrenaline concept, mentioning that you lose some sensation in your fingertips, lose track of how heavy the weapon in your hands is (but I don’t think he mentioned the tunnel vision aspect of not seeing the taser color) but overall that it is very explainable that she could have drawn the wrong weapon, not realized it, and been that surprised. Either he or another report did also mention that this does happen a couple times (either a year, or frequent enough that this wasn’t a once a decade “cannot happen” kind of error).

Regarding Scott’s topic… I suppose you cannot have your child create a cure for cancer if you don’t have children.

Ok, finished watching this thing and here is my observation —

Bill is the intellect and drive of the team, Steve is the cool and suave pundit that lends class (A Stark Industries mug? OMG how cool is that!?!? And just what is in it?) and Scott is the soul of the triad.

You guys work well together. You might be stabbing each other in the back in private for all I know but you make a great Band. Rock on.

If I told you how zero drama is behind the scenes, you’d probably be disappointed.
But it’s true.

Not disappointed, happy to hear it. The best bands are often broken up due to internal friction. Thanks for putting my mind at ease now where can I get a Stark Industries coffee mug and … care to tell us what you put in yours? I prefer a good whiskey, American or Bourbon varieties, myself. (In my best Gollum voice) — “You can keeps filthy vodka”.
🙂

C’mon, ACTS, long timers should know that Steve’s a scotch drinker, not vodka! he went with Vodka Pundit instead of Scotch pundit to avoid getting confused with Greenskeeper Willy…

It also flowed off the tongue better, like Insta-pundit. Scotch-pundit or Whisky-pundit just didn’t sound good.
Though Steve also does an excellent perfect margarita (not frozen).

I say the chance is 60/40 that they record these too early even for Steve. Though his 5 o’clock somewhere chats at PJ start at like 330 eastern, which is why I give it the 40% chance of being whiskey.

Steve, at least your “managers” allow you to have Stark Industries bling on your work site. A few years ago someone at my place of employment had the brilliance and initiative to place a Stark Industries sticker on a full scale model of a weapon, which is designed here. Unfortunately, after being firmly affixed for a few years, some manager found it and removed it. Some people have so little drama in their lives that they must suck all of it, both good and bad, out of all others. Don’t fall prey to such succubi — keep a little drama in both the background and foreground, cuz it makes life livable.

Steve says “I’m so glad you mentioned solitary topics because I have five of them. I’m gonna whip ’em all together in some sort of Lightning Round.” — And Scott starts to cry for mercy …
I love these backstage episodes. They’re worth the price of a subscription alone by themselves.

I totally agree with you about Backstage being the best production they air because it’s pure interaction between the players with no holds barred. We get to see more of their individual personalities. When Steve announces a Lightning Round, you can see them cringe! I think it would be cool if Bill or Scott set up a Lightning Round just to get even. Actually they could do an hour long open gab session talking about whatever comes to their minds and it would great!

As far as Neal DeGrass Tyson goes, he is a popular guy, but doesn’t come across as a real scientist. On the other hand, I really like Michio Kaku and his approach to explaining science in layman’s terms that people can understand, until he gets into String Theory. Then it gets murky.

I came here to check about 6:15 or so and Backstage already up and working with sound. Great lineup of topics to ponder and discuss. BTW should we all just surrender to the insanity and Murdoch it through?
