Ball park treats for all our listeners. In our continuing celebration of BASEBALL, we are sharing a selection of amazing comedy cold opens on the game that span 2019-2022. These years are critical in baseball history, as they involve the clever Astros hi tech, sign-stealing scandal; the COVID related shutdowns of the game; and the 2022 MLB Players worker’s strike. These listener favorites feature great performances by the famous ‘Mets Mob’, my co-founding co-host, Kassia, and – of course – our feisty artificial intelligence engine, Bernice. YOU’LL LOVE THESE HILARIOUS CLIPS!
If you haven’t listened to our previous episode with the Mets Mob, forecasting the 2024 season, please scroll down on your phone and enjoy. Both hardened baseball fans and others will be very entertained by their informative and humorous banter.
The comedy clips in this episode include:
- Who Is It? - The Astros attempt to throw the 2019 World Series in their favor using high tech sign stealing technology… but the Astros owner is, ah… kinda out of it.
- Answering Machine – COVID Anxiety Help Line - What you would get if you called MLB during COVID in 2020?.
- Mission Impossible - Co-host Kassia and her cat are tasked by a top secret government agency to resolve conflicts between MLB owners and players.
- Opening Day – Kassia and Bernice are in charge of the media booth…but they have no idea of what they are doing.
- Love, Death, And Baseball - Our “Twin Peaks” homage! Finally, Leonardo gets to hook up with his long lost love Bernice, our artificial intelligence engine.
- We Kidnapped The Baseball Commissioner! – The Met’s Mob, in an effort to resolve the 2022 strike – kidnap the MLB Baseball Commissioner – hoping to get him to agree to reasonable terms with the players and re-start baseball. For some reason – James Bond intervenes. (Our James Bond is ‘Handsome Rob from Manhattan’. We on the pod believe Handsome Rob is a better Bond than either Danial Craig, Sean Connery, or Pierce Bronson in the role, but we invite listeners to express their own opinions and thoughts.

Julia Child – James Bond In An Apron
Saturday Mar 16, 2024
Saturday Mar 16, 2024
In honor of National Women’s History Month, we are celebrating Julia Child. In the early 1960’s, Ms. Child, on the main stream media front, almost single-handedly, totally blew up every preconception of the role of women in American society (at least middle class women…) by writing a best-selling cooking book and making an extremely popular TV cooking show – eventually distributed to over 50 countries across the globe. BUT, before she was a celebrated chef, author, television celebrity, and women’s advocate – she served as a successful spy for the US during WW2.
Do I have your attention now?
Anuradha has a food page on Instagram https://bit.ly/3IE3nZp. You'll gain pounds just looking at the delicious pictures!
Guest, Dylan Cuellar, has a very popular podcast of his own https://bit.ly/3IFRwKb, which he creates with his fiancé, Kassia Oset, our popular series co-founder back in 2021

Love American Style

Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Replay from 2022. Our Valentine’s Day gift to our listeners. Ellie, Bernice and Thad attempt to peek under the skirt of America’s most shameful, chronic behavior issue. How did a society founded by religious puritans 400 years ago become so – yuck - pervy?! Is every allegation automatically justified? How do we purge our wicked behavior and thoughts? Can we be redeemed or forgiven? Can we even have an intelligent conversation on this topic -- without erupting into angry shouting? That’s what we hope to find out.

Sympathy For The Devil? – Our Assassination Special, Part 1
Wednesday Jan 31, 2024
Wednesday Jan 31, 2024
We mournfully acknowledge the assassinations/birthdays of 3 leaders of international fame, in January and February. They are Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Ghandi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. But this episode is not about these great men – IT’S ABOUT THEIR KILLERS. Why did they do it? What made them tick? Why does our human society allow this? Part 1 focuses on John Wilkes Booth, the assassinator of President Abraham Lincoln. We are joined by ALEXANDER NISBET, a 26 year veteran of the U.S. Department of Defense, who also served 2 tours in the second Iraq War as an investigator. University trained in the art of film/video, Alec has also produced historical documentaries. One of his specialties is the American Civil War. He will open your eyes on the Lincoln assassination!
Parental Advisory: This podcast contains a 1:00 minute dramatic recreation of President Lincoln’s murder. This is likely unsuitable for young children.

“The Exorcist” Turns 50 – A True Story?
Friday Jan 12, 2024
Friday Jan 12, 2024
This best-selling book and record-breaking box office movie re-defined the horror genre. But where did the core story come from? It’s actually based on a supposedly legitimate case of possession attested to in writing by over 50 witnesses. A Catholic Archbishop granted a rare approval of the ritual’s use. As it occurred in the area, “The Washington Post” published a front page, above-the-fold article, on the exorcism back in 1949, weeks after it occurred. Then a student at Georgetown University, future book author/screenwriter/film producer - William Peter Blatty - read the article and was inspired to pen what has become a $$ multi-billion dollar franchise. We re-open the original 1949 case to examine if it has merit, if demonic possession is genuinely possible, or just a manifestation of mental illness.

TEASER: The Wright Stuff – Whoops!
Friday Dec 22, 2023
Friday Dec 22, 2023
3 days before what became their historic flight on December 17, 1903, the Wright Brothers attempted - what they believed at that moment - WOULD be their first flight. The only problem was…their plane crashed that day. In true Scandal Sheet fashion, we have dug deep to uncover the details of this boggled start and give listeners a dramatic recreation of this rarely mentioned and embarrassing event to the pioneering aviators.
Please note. Normally we release the teaser first, and then the full episode later. We’ve turned that model upside down. But you will find the full episode, released on 12/17, updated with this new open.
Kudos to our actor/composer John Hoekstra. Enjoy!

The Wright Stuff – First Flight?
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
We celebrate the 120th anniversary of the first machine-powered, human-controlled flight on December 17, 1903 by Wilbur and Orville Wright. While today there is a national park at Kill Devil Hills in the Outer Banks in North Carolina, commemorating the event … official acknowledgement was a long time coming. Despite the thumbnail picture you see here and 5 eye witnesses, for at least 5 years the claim of their first flight was disputed or ignored by government officials, the media, and the public. And at least 6 other parties claimed simultaneously that it was THEY that had the REAL first flight. How come? Was 12/17 actually the first flight? We are joined by our 21 month co-host Ellie for a rare encore appearance in order to get to the bottom of this apparent scandal.
