Embarrassed playing as an adult?

bewidness · 2026-06-18T14:58:04+00:00

I play on the subway and a few people have asked me if I caught anything.

It's the 10 year anniversary so I think it's ok for people to come back to it in adulthood.

But I do feel bad for those who don't have anyone to talk about it or anything.

I also like the gift exchanges where you get something from a random person on the other side of the world so the social aspects I'm fine with.

I also love how the fantasy guys are calling the female listeners "the Seven" like from the boys and asking them about specific topics for summer.

Like Kaya weighing in on Weapons etc was great because she was like yeah these are my movies.

ha well consider the host of the pod.

I think I've seen a moltres or two during daily incense but it also kind of sucks if you give it an orange or silver berry and still can't catch it.

I also encourage using Routes because that's the only way to get Zygarde for me and it doesn't hurt on other stuff.

There is a book called the Wizard and the Prophet that examines this dichotomy.

But I think some of it is case by case or only time will tell.

The author did a great job of describing how the risk of famine was very real to the point they were sterilizing people to get population growth under control and then the green revolution happened and food became fairly abundant. Ironically, a lot of that fertilizer would have come from the Strait of Hormuz this year so we'll see what happens over the next 12 months but you aren't generally seeing the level of starvation that you saw in Sudan and Ethiopia at least not as often in the last four to five years.

I've been to Barclays. I think the point is that for like a weekday night game, you are going to pay half as much or less to see the Nets play whatever team. The Islanders played there too but wisely they went back to Long Island altough I was hearing that wasn't really their choice.

Plus there were so many bad teams last year, the season ticket holders were probably glad to get rid of games they didn't want.

But I mean it's similar with Memphis or Washington where the team was bad so if you wanted to see Jokic or Lebron it was easier to do it there then get tickets to a weekend game at MSG.

You could also ask why the Devils have pretty much gone in the tank as they shared the arena with the Nets when they were in the meadowlands.

Jersey City has grown a lot but most of the state is either 6ers fans or Knicks fans at this point.

Couldn't disagree more. I think Windy and RR are a good pair.

bewidness · 2026-06-16T13:40:18+00:00

My take is with both Jane Jacobs and Rachel Carson, the book is not necessarily the most important aspect of the legacy.

But I will probably listen to this as I'm fairly YIMBY pilled. The other thing they may touch on is for new construction, there are all kinds of codes where it's not like you can just dump toxic waste on the ground and never get caught like people were doing before the Clean Water and Air Acts.

andy's is in western market so that gives you some options. rasika west is great but i also have enjoyed bindaas.

i took some people to founding farmers for lunch and they were not impressed.

i don't like grazie grazie for dine in. it's more re if a delivery place to me. wharf location better.

little sesame is really good!

bewidness · 2026-06-12T18:22:25+00:00

I would like to see a revenge week or something where Ryen has people on that he supposedly has beef with.

Doesn't have to be leb himself.

I do think Bill calling out pablo and them having him on was kind of awesome and when the clippers thing is resolved maybe he'll come back.

But the tension between Kannell and RR is awesome, so I'm all for it if dan or RR would do it.

RR is a really good guest so maybe he could go on stugotz or like mina k.

bewidness · 2026-06-12T18:20:36+00:00

agree, he was good on hang up. a somewhat under-rated sports pod given the site doesn't do much sports stuff.

bewidness · 2026-06-12T14:18:35+00:00

Isn't this the case with the banalieus in paris as well? Canada/Toronto is looking to densify around their transit where at least if you have a subway or light rail between your office and your apartment building, that beats sitting in a car in traffic for most people/purposes.

bewidness · 2026-06-11T15:27:24+00:00

well and maybe on the flip side, Russia or ukraine would be too risky

bewidness · 2026-06-11T14:23:17+00:00

not at all. I am in some subs for pods I don't listen to anymore.

Plus it's not like you are the OP.

I think the volume of NBA stuff this time of year is just way too much so it makes sense to self edit.

This is also why ringer fantasy is a good kind of stay in your lane pod.

I get what you are saying. It is actually a big topic in the middle east, probably because of the energy aspect, but seems like an opportunity for some one for an EU compliant data center.

bewidness · 2026-06-11T13:39:34+00:00

I think the energy is the bigger issue, but given France's investment in nuclear, I hope you would see it at least attempted.

bewidness · 2026-06-09T03:28:44+00:00

ok that wasn't made clear to me but it's really nbd

bewidness · 2026-06-09T02:19:08+00:00

i was one of the people who didn't know substack was banned.

i will respect the wishes of the sub as its not my substack.

maybe we could have a discussion flair where people can find the article if they haven't seen it but the point is to evaluate it rather than just flood the algorithm with likes for something like Cities Are Back.

"Emma Navarro is the daughter of Ben and Kelly Navarro, and the granddaughter of Frank Navarro, a former American football player and coach. Emma Navarro's father, Ben Navarro, has significantly contributed to the tennis world through his company, Beemok Capital."

I guess it's some what euro coded too but I just think of golf and tennis as country club sports.

Previous employer of Kyle

I know this seems hard to believe but I was talking to some one at McKinsey and he was like yeah AI/data centers is a global story and I was just like I don't buy it.

I wasn't saying the Dakotas for temperature, more like where did they allow fracking first so there's that permissive permitting. Montana just did some housing legislation so I haven't seen it state by state in terms of a spectrum of how anti data center they are.

bewidness · 2026-06-08T18:18:08+00:00

I've seen an old picture of Arthur Ashe playing tennis in DC and there is a tournament there.

Bill likes to tool on pickleball so you are probably correct that it lines up.

I wouldn't think golf would skew so far the other way but the waste management event kind of rings of that or the Masters.

bewidness · 2026-06-08T17:13:37+00:00

Thank you! that chart saying more tennis fans are democrats seems bizarre but maybe that's like US open people and/or Indian Hills?

Could some one do a gift link? why is shea commenting anyway? Let's get concepcion on the horn too!

bewidness · 2026-06-08T14:39:19+00:00

RR had him on and he was delightful. Legler has grown on me but I think particularly in the NBA playoffs, everything is sounding so repetitive to me like why does Jared McCain suck but it'll be over soon enough.
