BRUMSWORTH: Sorry I’m late! Did I miss anything interesting?
SPADWICK: It was WILD! Gobbler got TOSSED!

BRUMSWORTH: Frankly, it’s amazing that a turkey has successfully played in the major leagues for THIS long.
SPADWICK: Oh, for sure. Dude was DUE for a misstep.
SPADWICK: I’VE never been clear on whether he even comprehends the RULES.

[[We see the moment the umpire ejects a turkey wearing a baseball jersey and ill-fitting cap.]]

SPADWICK: He just couldn’t keep it TOGETHER today. UMP had to EJECT him…CROWD was going NUTS…

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
