Redline Radio Episode 88: WhiteSoxDave Has No Concept Of Time

Yesterday on the podcast we had a GREAT interview with Patrick Mannelly(20 minute mark). It was great to have one last football talk post-Super Bowl before heading into darkness February. There was one little moment that we didn’t spend enough time on. It was a throwaway comment from WSD. Dave said that “summer starts on March 1st” in his brain.

WSD knows his marathon time and he can read a radar gun, but beyond that he is completely incompotent when it comes to understanding time. Taking you behind the curtain a bit…when we interviewed Thomas Jones back in September we had to reschedule the interview minimum five times because WSD couldn’t get the game time, or the time zones correctly since TJ was in LA. Just yesterday he and Kopech(next week’s guest” had trouble coordinating the interview time and again timezones were the issue(still tbd who was at fault there though).

Of all the mistakes he’s made regarding time, saying that the summer starts on March 1st is preposterous. It’s like he’s never been here in March before. Average temps on March 1st…26 to 45 degrees. That is NOT summer. That’s not even Spring. I understand what he was trying to say. There are a few things that let you know that the seasons are changing in our favor.

 Switching From Hot To Iced Coffee

this is too much cream

That first time you stop into your coffee place on the way to work and you don’t appreciate simply being inside the coffee shop because you didn’t have to brave the walk from the parking lot to the front door. That’s why you think “hey…an iced coffee sounds so refreshing…it must be spring”. That right there is a simple pleasure. It’s about flavor and pleasure opposed to ordering hot coffee as a survival tactic. You’ve made it through winter at that point

Jim Nantz

CBS had the Super Bowl this year so we got Jim Nantz in February, but for the casual basketball and golf fan we have to go along time before we hear “Hello friends again”. When you get Jim Nantz in essentially back to back weekends between the Final Four and The Masters you know that the temps are rising and days are getting longer.

Sundresses

The most magical piece of clothing in the game. Nobody can define exactly why they’re arguably the hottest thing a girl can wear, but they are. And that first time you walk to brunch on a Saturday and girls are gliding down the street in brightly colored flowing sundress it puts a pep in your step and pumps blood to places that normally you’d need Roman subscription  to touch.

The Blackhawks Are Back

Hmm maybe WSD is right. Maybe it is Summer.
