Mike Schur

And I was just looking through my Gmail inbox, Mike Schur, a guy who has been on the show many times before.

And I was looking at like, what did I used to ask Joe Posnanski, one of America's great sports writers and the co-author of this new book you have, Big Fan, that you've written together.

And I was asking you stuff like, did Jim Tomei literally grow up on a farm because you say he's quote unquote farm strong?

A human being is looking into whether what I wrote.

Dude, Tomei grew up on it.

Exactly right.

Yeah, yeah.

And for those listening, the Tomeys, if they are listening, let the record show, not farm people.

Not farm people.

No, they are not.

Farm adjacent.

I was also, you gave me Marvin Miller's contact info at one point.

Like, it's just funny, man.

I'm like, look at, this is like 2010, 2011, when I was at Sports Illustrated fact-checking.

So, fractional, fractional Pulitzer for Joe Putz and his team.

Is what I'm here to hand out.

But actually, the thing I wanted to start with, and there's a lot I want to get to about fandom and sports fandom and all this stuff.

I think I have a take that I'm piloting that we might actually be in the twilight of the sports fan.

Peak sports fan, but peering over into some sort of an abyss.

I want to get to that.
