Episode 225 - Even Though Our Terrestrial Robot Overlords Stopped Our Broadcast, The Show Must Go On

All terrestrial segments were recorded live on July 9th (Day 190 of 2022), and all podcast segments were recorded lived on June 12th (Day 193 of 2022)

• Part 1 of 3 of the Podcast only content – James Webb Telescope draws into focus how much politics suck right now because of what Trumpism has ignited, and it also peering back in time 13.1 billion years ago and holds the possibilities of forever changing our understanding of the cosmos and our place within it
• Terrestrial: Hour 1 (begins around 0:18:00)
• Baker is traded, and oh boy did the Browns get so very little for him, even when you compare it to what other comparable QBs have received in trade packages for them
• Naming your kid/dog Baker was never a good idea, nor was getting a Baker tattoo, but everyone should have known that around here and yet they did it anyway
• Part 2 of 3 of the Podcast only content – It never ceases to amaze how optimistic Browns fans are this time a year, every year, and this year is no different, except instead of irrationally inflating how many games the Browns will win has been replaced by irrationally expecting Watson to be suspended very few games to no games at all (and commercial sports talk locally is definitely fueling this pathetic fire) (begins around 1:15:00)
• Lachlan MacKinnon’s ‘Best of Edition’ Let Me Tell You A Story: “Toilet Bowl Sunday” (begins around 1:33:00)
• Terrestrial: Hour 2 (begins around 1:39:00)
• The local band Factual Brains are our new favorite band in Cleveland, and in related news, Defend Cleveland show commissions an album!
• The story of summer league Cavs and what's to come of Colin Sexton
• It's the midseason mark for the Guardians and we still can't get a Ramirez jersey in anything but home white! He's also the difference between a sub .500 team and the one we were falling in love with through the middle of June before he busted his thumb
• Part 3 of 3 of the Podcast only content – Mollie’s Weekly Reports... (begins around 2:36:00)
• Terrestrial: Hour 3 (begins around 2:57:00)
• When you head to far west in CLE and WCSB turns into The River, and the threat of "contemporary Christian pop music" taking over the airwaves ensues
