BILLY ANDERSON

@philcastelllini I've been following you ever since ZZ Top wrote that song about you - Sharp Dressed Man.

Ya Boy is the most popular owner in the league Why? - BTS looks at team financials - One of a kind commentary - Public trades and negotiations - Trolling of other teams and players - Hair that’s slicker than my wife when Jim Day is around Ask yourself Why aren’t you following the best owner in baseball?

@nut_history Opening Day - GABP #Reds

What's the last #MLB ballpark you have attended a game at? For me, it's Skydome

Does anyone know if the Los Angeles Dodgers bat boy that saved Shohei Ohtani life by catching a screaming liner coming towards him barehanded in the dugout is still on the team? Or did they give him a comfortable lump-sum payment for saving their 700 million dollar superstar? Incredible

💯

@carltonkirby Cracking me up with your brilliant commentary! Cheers from Kentucky. 🐎 🥃

@antmccrossan cracking me up! Always enjoy your commentary, cheers from Kentucky! 🐎 🥃

@nerd_endurance @TourDeRomandie Gotta do a little z1 occasionally

@TourDeRomandie Does he always cooldown after z2 rides?

Après l’effort…

100% true - it's truly unbelievable!

So it turns out that all the “right-wing extremist groups” are left-wing extremists being paid by other left-wing extremists to pretend to be right-wing extremists. The entire Democrat Party is one giant Jussie Smollett.

@still_hustling Hope & Change

I wish I would’ve paid attention to politics when I was younger. I voted for Obama twice and Hillary. What the fuck was I thinking?

@AshleyDavis32 Yes

@philcastelllini Tell Bob to sell some more lettuce! Don’t let Daddy Warbucks retire!

Ima have to sell a kidney in order to sign this guy long term Not my kidney of course Any volunteers?

Cool shell formation on my beach walk today.

@philcastelllini I mean, where ya gonna go.

If that picture doesn’t get you bricked up Then I’m charging you double the next time you come to a game.

When I was a kid, pencils were considered such a precious commodity your teacher thought you needed a box for them and then every 70s dad was like “OK, here’s a fucking box.” And then we’d all go to school smelling like Fidel Castro.

Georgetown HS head baseball coach Rod Sanders could have gone the easy way. Jumped on a plane to Cincinnati to see his brother Reggie go into the @Reds hall of fame on Saturday. He went, the hard way. Taking his entire varsity team, and coaches to Cincinnati to share the moment. Let his real family meet his baseball family. Let kids who had never flown, fly. Players who had never been to an MLB game, see a meaningful one. What a journey.

A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views. He died 5 months after recording it. It was his final gift to the world. Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years. The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom. And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered. How to speak. 15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever: Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end. Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious. The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else. Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough. Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS. Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one. Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing. Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously. Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity. Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by. End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said. Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands. Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order. The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves. Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill. Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing. Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind. You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible. Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs. He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this. Watch it tonight. Bookmark this first. Follow @cyrilXBT for more lessons from the people who built the future.
