It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare. - Mark Twain

@myhist @madbutwright Also a good one. I do have my Gramma to thank for being the kid in class who had heard the song before. She quite liked Johnny Horton

@WhyIsThatPod @madbutwright Horton? Mandatory listening in my family. That and (somewhat related) North to Alaska about 1890's gold rush. youtube.com/watch?v=BLONWy…

Unsurprisingly, the only factor for which AmeriCAN'ts outscored the AmeriCANs was Disgracegate, the negative category. Interestingly, the lowest total AmeriCAN is higher than the average AmeriCAN't and AmeriCANs have over double the average number Full Terms of an AmeriCAN't.

I have also created a visualization for the average scoring differences of an AmeriCAN vs an AmeriCAN't (if interested in the maximum and minimums of the category hover over that factor at the link below) public.tableau.com/app/profile/tr…

With the completion of Richard Nixon by @TotalusRankium, I have updated the AmeriCAN vs AmeriCAN't by Party visualization. Link: public.tableau.com/app/profile/tr…

If you are unfamiliar, Totalus Rankium is a podcast that reviews and rates the lives and careers of all of the American Presidents. They are currently in the middle of Richard Nixon (they also have one about Roman Emperors). You can listen on Podbean here: totalusrankiumap.podbean.com

Here is a link to the dashboard in case you are interested (if people are interested I can share more as I look at the other factors): public.tableau.com/views/TotalusR…

I recently started to use Tableau and decided to use @TotalusRankium 's American Presidents series as inspiration. Here is a look at their AmeriCANs broken down by political party. This taught me they quite liked their Democratic Republicans as 4/4 were awarded the AmeriCAN.

@LateRoundQB Had meant to subscribe anyways. Thanks for the added reason

I'm giving away two copies of The Late-Round Draft Guide. To enter, all you have to do is head to LateRound.com, subscribe to the free newsletter, screenshot that you're subscribed, and reply to this tweet with the screenshot. Will pick winners tomorrow.

@TotalusRankium @JamieRBruno In the same vein, Pelosi is the Speaker of the House. Chuck Schumer is the Senate Majority Leader. The point was still mostly the same and good memory for just top of your head.

@JamieRBruno Oooh. Good point.

Lyndon B Johnson is out! Find out just how likeable this accidental president was! podbean.com/media/share/pb…

@FantasyPros Rookie Randy Moss in my first season playing fantasy

Who is the first player you ever remember rostering?

@TotalusRankium "It looks like a giant... Johnson"

How well do you know your Johnson? Recording LBJ. We only made one "johnson" joke.

@TotalusRankium Throughout the whole episodes I just kept picturing the pigs of Pig Island. Also, welcome back!

Very excited to announce that JFK part 2 is out! podbean.com/media/share/pb…

@FFHitman @SpitballersPod Professional Sports you would get most injured competing in. I could see round four getting pretty funny

Got a good draft idea for us? @SpitballersPod

@Podchaser In their basement?

Where do Podcasters hang out?

Just picked up Hero of Two Worlds by @mikeduncan. I'm looking forward to reading it. Anyone grab their copy yet? #lafayette

I just brought up the new episode in my podcast app and it made me imagine Socrates out golfing. It'd be a pretty funny sight. How many Mulligan shots would he need to get through a round?

Hello everyone, I know it has been a while, but today we have a new episode. Together we explore the origin of the Mulligan. Check it out at the link below: play.acast.com/s/whyisthatpod… #golf #history #podcast

@thocpodcast Most theatres I've sold tickets for follow the process, especially Broadway theatres. Here's a link with seating charts: broadwayscene.com/broadway-theat… I've never been able to find who started the practice. I'm mostly familiar with US theatre so didn't want to speak for other countries

@WhyIsThatPod Ive never seen that in the US. This is in China

I’m at a theater right now and the seats in every row go 25, 23, 21, 19 […] 3, 1, 2, 4, 6, […] 20, 22, 24 I am deeply not ok with this.
