Joe and the crew dive into the latest Dolphins preseason news, discussing the importance of staying healthy, the continued improvement of Jonah Savaiinaea and Chop Robinson, and whether Miami needs to add another backup quarterback after Quinn Ewers' rough preseason debut. Plus, with the Dolphins' cap space extremely tight, the guys discuss the challenges of filling out the roster. The Marlins' playoff push takes center stage after a controversial call appeared to cost Miami in a loss to the Phillies, with both teams battling for a postseason spot. Joe also reacts to the NBA clearing Clippers owner Steve Ballmer of wrongdoing in the Kawhi Leonard salary-cap controversy and discusses South Florida sports owners. Plus, a wild NFL stat: the Jets went an entire 17-game season without recording an interception.

If you've ever looked at an election result and thought, “I guess we just have to trust it,” this conversation is for you. I sit down with Mark Gotz, known as the election expert, who has spent more than 20 years monitoring elections and wrote a practical guide on how to inspect, validate, audit, and enforce federal elections. We get specific about where modern elections feel weakest, especially as we've shifted from a single Election Day to a longer election month shaped by vote by mail.We dig into what accountability actually looks like on the ground: signature verification, tracking how many vote-by-mail envelopes come in, and making sure those totals match the vote counts reported by election officials. Mark explains his “election umpire” idea, why being physically present matters, and why an audit isn't an abstract concept. It can be as basic as reconciling the paper trail so the numbers make sense.We also talk about voter roll maintenance, inactive voters, and what federal election laws say about enforcement. Mark points to the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act, and he explains why “a person” can have the right to take action when something looks wrong. If you're tired of online complaints that go nowhere, you'll walk away with a clearer sense of what to learn, what to watch, and what steps can be taken quickly.Subscribe for more honest, practical conversations, share this with a friend who cares about election integrity, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

In this Adventure in Etymology we discover the odd roots of the word umpire. An umpire [ˈʌm.paɪə(ɹ) / ˈʌm.paɪɹ] is an official who presides over a sports match, or a person who arbitrates between contending parties. To umpire means to act as an umpire in a game, or to decide as an umpire. It comes […]

Joe and Dave lean into some hilarious youth sports stories as Joe shares his experience umpiring youth baseball and Dave talks about coaching youth soccer, including dealing with over-the-top parents arguing balls and strikes. That leads into a broader discussion on how baseball has evolved, with the guys debating the impact of rule changes like the pitch clock, ghost runner in extra innings, and ABS challenges, and whether fully automated balls and strikes is the inevitable next step. While they agree most changes have helped the game speed up and improve, the one adjustment they still aren't fans of is the elimination of the shift.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Federal judges increasingly claim neutrality while advancing political preferences from the bench. Judicial rulings against Trump policies, immigration enforcement, and federal grand jury subpoenas raise questions about constitutional duty, impartiality, and whether the courts still function as umpires applying law, or as policymakers shaping outcomes through personal bias and agenda...

Every pitch is a strike when it leaves the pitchers hand ... until it proves itself oterwise.

Former international umpire Ian Gould joins Jonathan Agnew and Phil Tufnell to answer your questions about the weird and wonderful laws of the game. What happens if the ball strikes a drone or gets stuck in a falling toupee? If you think you've won, but celebrate by throwing the ball over the boundary are you penalised? And what's the ruling if the ball gets stuck up a tree in your garden. Plus, some wonderful memories from Gould's illustrious career as a top official.

Former MLB Umpire Dale Scott is our guest as we look back on his career, his book titled The Umpire Is Out: Calling The Game And Living My True Self, being the first official in any of the Big 5 sports to publicly come out as gay and his thoughts on the rule changes that have been implemented in recent years including ABS

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageHe told America judges are umpires, not lawmakers. Two decades later, Chief Justice John Roberts is still calling balls and strikes, but sometimes it sounds like he's redrawing the strike zone.We dig into the irony and the real-world consequences of Roberts' “institutionalist” approach, starting with one of the most debated Supreme Court decisions of our time: the Obamacare individual mandate in *NFIB v. Sebelius*. We walk through why conservatives thought the Commerce Clause argument was clean, why Roberts initially seemed to agree, and how the case turned on a single reframe: treating the penalty as a tax under Congress' taxing power. That move didn't just keep a law alive, it reshaped how many people trust the Court.Then we hold that up against Molly Hemingway's portrait of Justice Samuel Alito, a justice known less for smoothing edges and more for saying what he thinks, even when it's uncomfortable. From the Citizens United State of the Union moment to Alito's willingness to let dissents stand on the record, we explore what “courage” looks like on a bench that is always being read through a partisan lens.Finally, we connect the same tension to a live controversy over birthright citizenship in Trump versus Barbara, the Fourteenth Amendment, and *Wong Kim Ark*. When Roberts fires back, “it might be a new world, but it's certainly the same Constitution,” we ask what consistency really demands.Key Points from the Episode:• Roberts' confirmation-hearing metaphor and the legitimacy problem  • How the Roberts Court moves law right while Roberts surprises conservatives  • The Obamacare individual mandate and the “penalty as a tax” reasoning  • Molly Hemingway's portrait of Alito as the road not taken  • Alito's “not true” reaction to Obama after Citizens United  • Trump versus Barbara and the Fourteenth Amendment debate over birthright citizenship  • What “same Constitution” means when the stakes are political  Links

Episode 744 kicks off with new merch in the wild and the ongoing expansion of the “protect the children from the internet” playbook. Manitoba is floating a ban on social media and AI chatbots for kids with details still TBD, while the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee somehow managed unanimous approval on chatbot age-verification legislation. Utah, not to be outdone, passed SB 73 — a law that tries to pin age verification on VPN users and even bans sites from explaining what a VPN is, a move that will mostly degrade the internet without solving the problem it claims to address. Meanwhile, John Oliver finally unloaded on the AI industry, echoing long-standing criticisms: rushed products, acknowledged risks, and outsourced consequences.In the news, a U.S. Army Special Forces master sergeant was arrested for allegedly turning classified intel about the Maduro capture into a $400K Polymarket win, then attempting to cover it up in ways that suggest poor operational planning. Meta cut more than 1,100 Kenyan content moderators after reports surfaced that they were exposed to explicit footage from smart glasses users, raising serious questions about labor practices in AI pipelines. Google signed a Pentagon AI deal despite internal backlash while posting massive revenue gains, underscoring where incentives actually land. OpenAI, meanwhile, is juggling missed targets, a shift away from Microsoft exclusivity, and continued reputational hits around Sam Altman — including a widely criticized apology tied to a mass shooting and a fabricated Bruno Mars tie-in for his World project. Add in a failed retrial bid from Sam Bankman-Fried, rising volumes of AI-generated web content, and political interference with the National Science Board, and the signal is clear: incentives are misaligned across the board.On the lighter side, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds returns July 23rd for its penultimate season, and Ted Lasso is back August 5th, for better or worse. Jack Dorsey beat the inevitable Elon attempt to reboot Vine with Divine, reviving six-second loops with a decentralized backbone and anti-AI safeguards. Apple continues its slow AI rollout with new photo editing tools, while Google pushes further into data aggregation with wardrobe-level photo analysis. Hardware check: Logitech's MX Keys S lands as a heavier, brighter $119 iteration. In books, Peter Clines delivers with God's Junk Drawer, while Martha Wells signals that the Murderbot series may be nearing its end. The Dark Side with Dave ties it together with gun storage PSAs, Disneyland lore, Galaxy's Edge playlists, and a conversational detour through Super Dave, Martin Short, and the ongoing quirks of instant replay in baseball.Show notes at https://gog.show/744Watch on YouTube at https://youtu.be/P3NOSXlCs9EFOLLOW UPNew Merch!Canadian premier wants to ban social media and AI chatbots for kids in ManitobaSenate Judiciary Committee unanimously approves AI chatbot age verificationUtah's New Law Targeting VPNs Goes Into Effect Next WeekJohn Oliver Just Took the AI Industry Behind a Shed and Beat It With a Pipe WrenchIN THE NEWSUS soldier arrested for allegedly making over $400,000 on Polymarket with classified Maduro informationMeta in row after workers who say they saw smart glasses users having sex lose jobsGoogle employees ask Sundar Pichai to say no to classified military AI useGoogle Signs Pentagon AI Deal Despite Employee BacklashGoogle Gives OpenAI 20 Billion Reasons To WorryOpenAI's Sam Altman apologizes for not reporting ChatGPT account of Tumbler Ridge suspect to policeSam Altman Caught in What May Be His Most Spectacular Lie YetOpenAI ends its exclusive partnership with Microsoft‘Never Talk About Goblins': OpenAI's Instructions to Codex Have a Weirdly Emphatic No-Creatures PolicySam Bankman-Fried Seems to Annoy Judge and Lose Latest Motion for New TrialDead Internet Theory Is 17% of the Way to Becoming Reality, Study FindsMatt Mullenweg thinks WordPress is in decline.

One study from 2018 found that Major League Baseball umpires blow about 14 calls every game. That's 34,000 bad calls every year. And it makes a difference. A blown strike call can decide a win or a loss, a championship or six months at home, wondering what could have been. And while umpires are about 97% accurate in calling balls and strikes, Major League Baseball has been considering something drastic. Something to take us up to 100% accuracy. They have a plan to replace human umpires with robots. Now, with an update! Subscribe to SiriusXM Podcasts+ to listen to new episodes of 99% Invisible ad-free and a whole week early.
