No Adam, No Rules, Just Right Maurice and Nathan get into the Wilding Out MLB mindspace this week. It's an all baseball ep because they just keep fucking up. We talk Taubman, Trump, Rob Drake's messy social media, and so much more! Sorry if this sounds disjointed - Daddy Adam usually runs the boards, and without his guiding hand we experienced tons of technical difficulties. Nevertheless, we persevered, and now that we know how to do it we might kick Adam off the show. Tune in next Monday to watch the coup d'etat LIVE! Enjoy!

L I V E S T R E A M 10/07/2019 - Daryl Morey Plants a Hundred Flowers by Southpaws Sports

We're back baby - and we're LIVE. Well, we were live, and now you're hearing a recording of something we did live. You get it. We'll be livestreaming from now on, and uploading the eps here a day or two after we record.

Flip, push, twist, throw - whatever Tim Anderson did to that bat, we're all for it. Also included: an oral history of The WB / CW, Luke Cage (is bad), sex cults, and Deep South liquor laws.

The Southpaws Boys are back with an episode we recorded pre-March Madness (lol). This one's a grabbag -- we cover Antonio Brown's DESTRUCTION of the Steelers using logic and reason, who would be a 1 seed in the 'Worst Sports Pundits' bracket, how easy it would be to convert Joe Rogan into a leftist, and much, much more!

Get prepped for the Southpaws Bracket Challenge and learn way to much about Roger Powell, Delonte West, and Nate's devotion to the trickle down theory of Big Ten basketball dominance with Tom Sexton of Trillbilly Workers Party (https://patreon.com/trillbillyworkersparty) Make sure to sign up for the bracket: https://goo.gl/forms/8FJdgCqPo54BYEl12 Check out the charity Tom picked for the proceeds: https://cooperationjackson.org/

This week we have on an NCAA Game Operations Director in Ricky Diaz talking about how to break the NCAA plantation while still keeping the idea of the student athlete alive. The discussion of what sports means as a possible professional athlete in training and society's responsibility to them are, is provocative but hopeful, as Ricky details his experience working first hand with athletes of all backgrounds and aspirations.

We have weekend editor for Deadspin, Gabe Fernandez on to talk about the sausage making industry that is the goodamn (sports) news. Gabe talks about the process of getting access to athletes and teams, how the leagues employ their own propaganda writers, and there's even some X's and O's on Maryland basketball in there! Check out Gabe's podcast at https://www.mixcloud.com/movingthechains/ and @chainswmuc on twitter. Check out Adam's new emo pod at @aintascenepod and on Apple/Google Play podcast apps!

We have some more NC flavor for you this week with NC FC Capo/Voice of the NCCU Eagles/all around superfan, Jonathan Duren! Jonathan talks with Nate and Adam about creating a fun group of inclusive partying at games and the contradictions of being in the college athletics world, especially as the SID of a HBCU. Lots of inside baseball for you to get into here, as well as some advice on how to be the biggest fan of your team you can be. Follow Jonathan at @JDuren9 on Twitter and listen to him make the call at https://nccueaglepride.com/coverage.aspx!

We take this show live and are answering calls in the Southpaws AM69420 studio! Polyamorous sports fandom, athlete fights, and breaking up with your team are all discussed in the first episode the boys have ever been in the same room for. HAPPY NEW YEARS AND THANKS FOR THE LISTENS! WE LOVE YOU ALL!

Southpaws gets horny on main with sex worker/activist/god Raquel Savage. Raquel opens up questions of gender, power, and what that means when your banging pro athletes. Content includes her take about Dwight Howard and the social politics of sex work, how sports uses sex to express power, and which NL team is getting their ass eaten the most! Check out Raquel on all her platforms! https://www.patreon.com/RaquelSavage https://twitter.com/Raquel_Savage https://www.raquelsavage.com/ https://onlyfans.com/raquelsavage

Noted Canadian and academic, Nathan Kalman-Lamb (@nkalamb) joins us to discuss the implications of the findings in his book Game Misconduct (https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/game-misconduct), being a fan of Vince Carter in Toronto, and the mechanisms creating unjust labor conditions in MiLB and the NCAA. Also, Happy One Year Birthday to us!

Clifton and Adam get the opportunity to spend some time with "Big Picture" Captain of NC FC, Austin da Luz(@austindaluz). Austin is the founder of Playing for Pride (https://www.playingforpride.org/), a foundation for promoting LGBT spaces in sports. We talk about how to build sport spaces welcoming to everyone, as well as the tremendous amount of great women athletes and burner soundcloud accounts!

Clifton finally gets to do his wrestling episode as the WWE travels to Saudi Arabia do the dirty work of selling Mohammad Bin Salman's shitty product. While Vince is doing his carnival barker impression of Thomas Friedman, we're talking with Bryan of Street Fight Radio (@murderbryan)about deciding where to draw the line with the things you love.

Clifton and Adam spend some time with Britni de la Cretaz, the phenomenal freelance journalist covering women's stories in baseball- both on and off the field. In telling her story of finding a place in baseball for herself, we uncover the importance of telling everyone's story, both so we don't lose the people history is trying to erase and so we know the people carving their own spot in sports today. Its an emotional one and also full of hope and fun (and also Pitbull). Enjoy!

C I N E M A This episode we tackle the frenetic, compelling, politically complicated Oliver Stone film, 'Any Given Sunday.' It's probably the best football movie of all time, which probably says more about football movies than Any Given Sunday -- but either way, we're watching a good movie for a change!

We got a bonus interview with Pro Ultimate player Shane of the Seattle Cascades! Shane talks about what its like being a pro athlete, the differences in how ultimate brings women into the sport, and the rewards of a life in sports have for community involvement. Links to check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAYR3J2B40M&app=desktop https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=FDDgbJcDynI https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=G3B_eWTQeSA I promise this is the last episode you get to hear my dinner recorded.

We're back finally and have a rerecorded ep fresh for you! Amy comes on and Clifton finally has a coming out as we talk Serena, women's sports, and the intersections of race and gender leading to bullshit umpiring decisions.

The episode the universe didn't want you to hear! Despite recording issues before, during, and after we are proud to announce this episode brought to you by Friends of Coal and Monsanto! College basketball recruiting, shady NCAA sponsorship deals, and David Foster Wallace slander contained within! Please make sure to follow and support Trillbillies Workers Party at https://www.patreon.com/trillbillyworkersparty

Theo is back, and no longer an Astros fan. We unearth some tweets, talk about what it means about sports, and where do we go as lefty sports fans.

We made it to 20 episodes! For the occasion, friend of the pod and NBA expert Josh (@duecedeuce) to talk eating veggies, Kawhi Leonard's exile to Canada, and using sports as military propaganda. This one has a vigorous hates and love section, so make sure to stick through to the end (aka sorry its 2 hours!)

International man of cycling mystery, Nic Magill hops on for a full episode to talk about cycling dark money, selling gray market narcotics in protein shakes, and we all make a pitch for Tinder to enter the pro cycling circuit.

Southpaws takes a break from sports for a bonus All Black edition. Clifton and special guest Martini Marcus delve into nuanced discussions within the Black community including: church, myths of Black women, homophobia and more!

Its another movie episode! The Southpaws boys head out to the megaplex and see the Pepsi joint, Uncle Drew. This episode is less of a sell on the movie itself, and more a sell on why we should be allowed to direct a sports comedy featuring a litany of NBA stars

This special episode comes with a suggested donation of 1-2 dollars for Clifton's moving fund. Jobs are dicking him around so Nic was generous enough to write up a guide and come talk to Adam about watching the upcoming Tour de France! Link to the guide: https://pastebin.com/raw/UKTKer6i Links to sites with streaming and clips: http://www.steephill.tv/tour-de-france/ http://tiz-cycling.racing/categories/tour-de-france/ Venmo name for donations: adam-vilmin

In a shocking turn of events, friend of the show Naeiri comes on to talk about what sports are like to people that aren't attracted to buying 15 dollar beers while watching men sweat around on each other. We talk about the necessary compromises that sports fans have to make and the reflection on ourselves we have to be willing to confront that can make sports a cultural force in utopia. Also there's a lot of talking about which soccer stars are most sexy.

In this bonus ep, other Nate, aka @sportwatcher420, breaks down the World Cup field for Adam in an attempt to find the most exciting and fun storyline to bandwagon onto in 2018!

Southpaws gets international and phones in Sarah Leach (@HiggsSearcher/@trulytrite) from London! Sarah has been in the stands for the CONIFA World Football Cup, an event organized for unrecognized, contested, or unaffiliated countries and regions to honor their soccer tradition. Note: Please forgive some audio issues involved with latency resulting from cross Atlantic Internet connections!

This week our friend Josh (@JayDoubleDeuce) comes on to talk about letting Lebron live and keeping Jordan in his place. Featuring some very in depth coverage of the Cavs and Lebron, as well as some now rancid Conference Finals predictions, we talk about why people hate Lebron, why the GOAT debate is unenjoyable basketball conversation, and how Jordan isn't as cool as you remember. Take off that Toon Squad jersey, forget about the Decision, and enjoy this weeks breakdown!

Adam graduated and finally came back from staycation to edit! In this ep the Southpaws talk the role of HCBU's historically in sports and culture. All sorts of great arguments to bring back to your Obama loving liberal friends are hashed out, and there's even an inspirational tale at the end!

Salvaged from the scrap heap of the last episode, we convince Nate to maintain a big, bold, and beautiful vision for the future and not to let the Capitalist Realism get him down.

Someday we're gonna get back on schedule, but until Adam graduates you'll just have to savor this delicious bit of film crit from the boys. We watched Blue Chips so you don't have to! A tale that thought it was forewarning the state of the NCAA, but instead forewarned how ill equipped Neoliberalism was for delivering a quality sports product. Pop the popcorn and get ready for Southpaws Go to the Cinema!

We were all fucked up by the middle of the last ep and rambled for an hour about how lame Donald Glover is.

Sean Miller made one hell of a mistake, but who's gonna pay for it? The boys talk NCAA problems and fixes and end up quite sloshed by the end. Stay tuned for the bonus episode born from the madness.

We're swamped so it a socialist sports roundtable about fun stuff with friends of the pod Kim and Theo. We hear Kim's side of her and Theo's run to opposite sides of the World Series, Adam rants about the Chief at Illinois for wayyyy too long, and guest Alex Geaux-ns makes an appearance. To donate to Kim's page go to http://bowl.nnaf.org/kimvb and if folks want to find out more about bowlathons in their area, they can check http://bowl.nnaf.org.
