  6. The Pete and Ted Show, episode one.

    peteandted:

    Eric Nusbaum and Craig Robinson (currently writing in the third person) live in Mexico City. They both like baseball. And talking. (I’m gonna abandon the third person thing now.) So we decided to occasionally record what we talk about when we go out to a bar. And it will then be preserved forever as a podcast.

    For the time being, it’s not gonna be on iTunes.

    Here’s episode one.

    A co-production of Flip Flop Flyball and Pitchers & Poets.

  10. This afternoon Gary Bell and I hired a car and drove up to the Berkeley campus and walked around and listened to speeches—Arab kids arguing about the Arab-Israeli war, Black Panthers talking about Huey Newton and the usual little old ladies in tennis shoes talking about God. Compared with the way everybody was dressed Gary and I must have looked like a couple of narcs.

    So some of these people look odd, but you have to think that anybody who goes through life thinking only of himself with the kinds of things that are going on in this country and Vietnam, well, he’s the odd one. Gary and I are really the crazy ones. I mean, we’re concerned about getting the Oakland Athletics out. We’re concerned about making money in real estate, and about ourselves and our families. These kids, though, are genuinely concerned about what’s going on around them. They’re concerned about Vietnam, poor people, black people. They’re concerned about the way things are and they’re trying to change them. What are Gary and I doing besides watching?
