E229: Kid Plays Hardball with One-of-a-Kind Baseball Card

Rick goes off on technology sounding like he was born about 100 years later than he should have. Then Liz has an update to the update about the sledding hill shutdown in Wellesley, MA and Evan isn't interested in the justification. And, two weeks into Evan's quest to lose 30 pounds, he only has 30 pounds to go! Keep it up champ!

In the second half, we learn about a kid who turns down an offer for his prized baseball card from the Pittsburgh Pirates. That offer was valued at more than a million dollars. However, this kid is taking the card to auction for a huge haul and then will donate ALL OF IT to the California wildfire victims.

About the Podcast

Small Town Scuttlebutt
We react to the overreactions of small town problems.
Making sense of what’s happening in our society is complicated. From the perpetual virtue-signaling to the over-reliance on water bottles, small towns across the globe are facing serious challenges. The man-bun, mommy blogs, and people who consider figure skating a sport; they’re all egregiously wrong!

So, if your typical day is stymied by self-checkout machines that always need an employee override or your inbox is flooded with way too many over-worded emails from your kid’s school, we can commiserate.

Join us as we critically examine these quandaries and more every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else cool podcasts are found.
