Chapter 1: What are the funniest Missed Connections from Craigslist?
Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports, and giving you the real story behind the headlines.
And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear. Listen to Sports Slice on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And for more, follow Timbo Slice Life 12 and the TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok.

All right, Sophia, tell me about how we started this story.
She moved in for two weeks, lasted five days, left a mess, and then pressed her ear against their bedroom door and burst in screaming. When kicked out to a hotel, she called her son-in-law's workplace pretending his partner had been rushed to the hospital by ambulance.

There's only two places to find true love in this world. One is at IHOP when you ask the waitress for one big bowl of gravy, two straws. Ew. Gravy at IHOP? Why with syrup? Thank you, Jose. That's meat in the middle. The other is on the pages of craigslist.org.
We scour that website every week to find the best Miss Connections that they have to offer, like this one titled, I Liked Your Shiny Gold Tooth. Aw. Woman for Man 41 Storage Unit Auction. Oh. It's getting classier and classier. She writes, you were the skinny guy with the cargo shorts with the gold or extremely yellow tooth. Oh, please let it be gold.
Please let it be gold.
I wasn't just attracted to you physically, but also emotionally.
Oh, so.

Chapter 3: What unique stories emerge from missed connections?
Dude, how am I not going to these auctions? FYI, the limp isn't permanent. Wait, you chalk up the limp for storage? Or I think she's talking about how the limp happened. Oh, God, I did not go there. You were so right, bro. She says, I actually did it to get sympathy from the auctioneer who didn't do me any favors. So you were actually right, Jose.
Okay, well.
You and I had a little flirty situation when unit number 3760 came up. Okay. I stood close to the storage locker so you would notice me. Oh, look at me. I'm like Vanna White of storage lockers. When you inspected it, I could smell your natural musk. Gummy worms, sawdust, and wet socks, perhaps? Oh my gosh! She actually had me with the first two. That's a working man who likes to snack.
Honestly, I didn't hate it. It smelled like someone who knows how to negotiate, but also shouldn't be left unsupervised in public. I was going to go with salty and sweet. A little balance. Then she puts in parentheses, bad boy.
We were both bidding back and forth intensely, and I tried to lighten the mood by telling you that I should have been an auctioneer because my ex always said I had fast lip action. Is that all it takes?
I like this lady.
You didn't react. It only made you more focused. In the end, I walked away with nothing, not even your phone number.

Chapter 4: How do people express their feelings in Craigslist posts?
Wow. And he just walked away with his yellow tooth. So if you see this, just know that if we went out, I promise by night's end, I'd be the one polishing that yellow gold tooth. And you wouldn't even have to ask. Oh, gosh. Again, what if it's not gold? That's signed Mandy. It doesn't seem like Mandy cares, Jose. Mandy sounds like a good woman. She's your personal dental hygienist.
Let's go to your next Miss Connection titled, Our First Family Meal. Man for Woman, 56, Carl's Jr., Let's get into it. He says, you were in front of me with your son doing the whole pat in every pocket routine, wallet missing. Oh, no. I hate that feeling. Yeah, but also it's a good way to act like you forgot. Let me mime. I stepped in and covered your order. What a knight in shining armor.
I didn't do it for the kid, but for the family I never had. Since I bought your meal, you let me sit with you like it was already a family tradition. That's sweet. I tested the waters by teasing your boy about his middle school haircut. Gotta let him know who's in charge. Stranger giving a middle schooler more complexes? That's a slight bit of bullying. It's what fathers do.
At one point, I sent your son for napkins so we could have a little moment. He came back in about eight seconds, which felt intentional.
Chapter 5: What are the most outrageous Craigslist entries shared?
It's done a big job, sir. This boy is clearly blocking me. I hope I wasn't too forward when I asked a guy nearby to take a picture of us. It was probably. Our first family photo. It's your first dysfunctional family photo. I'm worried about this kid. He continues, either way, I did write my number on your receipt. Never heard from you. If you see this, I'm still around.
And if your son needs a strong stepdad kind of presence, I'm willing to try again. Kids can be stubborn. I think we're going to go with absent father might be better for that kid. Signed, Dale, in quotes, the guy who bought lunch. Dale would play catch with the kid and throw the ball as hard as he could. Let's go to your final misconnection titled, I was your last but cutest customer.
Woman for man 32, best buy. She says, it was near closing time and it felt like you and I were the only two people left in the store. Me, a bubbly blonde in joggers wearing a Taylor Swift Eras t-shirt. You, a cutie patootie petite man who looked like he was one shift away from freedom. He looks like a small jail mate. It's weird to call a guy's petite. It's a funny visual.
Along those lines, she goes on, I tried to flirt with you immediately by singing, we represent the Lollipop Guild. The Lollipop Guild. That's not flirting. That is so insulting. That's rolling him. Kind of mean. Polite teasing.
Chapter 6: How do humor and vulnerability play a role in these stories?
Oh my gosh. You know the rest. You just stared at me for a second, but I got you to loosen up and start testing TVs with me. I told you my dog sits super close to the screen, so yes, we both ended up pressing our faces against multiple displays like it was completely normal. At one point, I heard you mutter, whatever I need to do for the commission, you are so funny. Ha ha ha.
She may not know what commission is. Or humor. I know it was past closing time, but I didn't want our interaction to end. That's why I attempted to stall until the lights went out on us. Trying to go home late. He turns the lights out. He's the employee, man. You have a dog at home. You trying to set the mood? I think your last words were, ma'am, you need to leave.
Yes. Yeah.
And so I did. Good. But I came back the next day and bought the TV. Not because of the specs. It's just a memento of our first meet cute. And now every time I put my face on the TV, I think of you. So he didn't even get the commission from all of them? That is so messed up. Oh, my God. That sign, Shauna. That poor guy. Yeah.
Chapter 7: What lessons can we learn from these missed connections?
Missed out on true love.
That's right.
That's what I meant. And probably a couple hundred bucks. Those are your Craigslist Missed Connections for the day.
Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

Chapter 8: How do these stories reflect on modern dating culture?
I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English.
Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.
84 was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people.
