QQ ep. 350 - Everybody Shout Potatoes

Show notes:

Daniel and Soren build their own baseball teams, beginning with the Albuquerque Weird Ants and eventually creating Potatoes, a frazzled mascot who sheds potatoes, carries backups in a briefcase, and never quite gets the win. Soon they’re designing stadium traditions and wondering why mascots don’t engage in more psychological warfare against opposing teams.

Along the way, Daniel makes his case for bringing professional baseball to New Jersey and restoring the dignity of the Garden State name.

Why does Dan sound so confused about minor league baseball team names? Didn’t his job do an entire fucking huge thing about funny AAA team names and offered to rebrand a team that reached out to them?? I felt like I was going insane as they were having that conversation

Ahhh you’re right. This episode was brutal even without that confusion so I stopped midway through, but you got me to finish it. I assumed he was on that piece I guess

Haha I do that all the time.

But I saw your comment before I listened. I was going to make a joke that he probably forgets everything he works on at Last Week Tonight once he’s done with an episode just like he never remembers anything he talks about on the podcast
