big country

In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the Memphis Grizzlies to the table for discussion. 

The MTD gang is *alive and kicking*!  Join us as we *head on* out north of Hadrian's Wall, into the land of Nessie and haggis, Kidnapped and Trainspotting.

*Say what you want*, but we love us some Caledonian tunes here at The Mixtape Diaries.  *In a big country* like Scotland, you're gonna find tons of options, and we struggled to keep to our per-person limit of three songs.

Also, *take me out* for *garlands*.  (Hey, cut us some slack: not every song title works in this context.)

Here in Part 1 we talk through Mark and Bob's selections.  Look out for Cocteau Twins, Simple Minds, the Jesus & Mary Chain, Big Country, Franz Ferdinand, and Texas.

As always, find the Playlist on Spotify + Apple Music and your Extras on Twitter.   And if you like what you hear, please share, rate and review us!

Credits: Intro/ Outro — the Februarys, "Does Your Father Know"/ "... In a Letter."

Episode 145. Yo brozzz, I'm ranting from Vegas with my new crusty crew. My first guest is MMA fighter "Big Country" Roy Nelson. We met at the airport, and he used to know my dad, Sammy Shore. He talks about his experience in the UFC, getting ready for retirement and wanting to act. Plus, marriage and family when you're in the entertainment industry.

So, what do these things have in common?  This podcast, and the Shetland Islands, way, way (way) North of the North Scotland mainland (Did we mention it was up North?).  In fact, the Vikings - Scandinavians, if you’re politically correct – made a pit stop in the 8th and 9th century on their way to Iceland, and dropped off people and animals to this beautifully remote island chain in the North Atlantic.  One of the many hardy animals that adapted to the lifestyle there over the last 1,000 years is the Shetland Sheep, one of the cutest little animals we’ve seen so far (Paloma the ewe’s tail was wagging like a dog when we met her, and that kept going for anyone that might pet her over the next hour).  With super soft and very fine wool, they are very docile, petite, and thrifty on the feed requirements. This primitive breed is a keeper, especially for those that don’t want a lot of upkeep in the keeping part.  If you’re a textile person, you can spin the finest of shawls with this one, with sheep and wool in practically every Viking color you can think of.

Judy Lehrhaupt is the owner of two flocks of sheep and a few sheep dogs as well, and she not only does the raising, herding and shepherding, but she’s a master spinner and a fleece judge.  Ewe Can Do It is her farm, where she spins/spends her off-time when she’s not teaching school.  We met up with her last Fall at the New York State Sheep and Wool Festival, and hope you enjoy listening to her as much as we did.

The little sheep from the Big Country (yes, couldn’t resist another 80’s music reference).

Your favorite and most forgotten heavy heroes will be talked about once more. Eric, Zach, Wylie and Craig try to draft well ROUNDED teams to try and win the most categories with 250 eligible players to choose from. Whoever owns the most categories will win this draft. Categories are (Career total points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks, coaches career wins, and the teams combined weight.) 

Players who are considered overweight or wide for their positions at any point in their careers are considered eligible. 

Please do not be offended by our heavy jokes. It's with all love and fun!

We discuss the delay of the ANSI A92.2 standard until March 2020 and the two key issues involved: Manual of Responsibilities and approval of modifications to products. Also listen in as Phil talks about Big Country. 

This weeks interview is with Tom McKendree of ReachMaster and Winlet USA about the Winlet glass manipulator. 

It's the #MarchMASTAS Round of 32! As we talk about the first-round winners from Sophistication Station and Rock This Island, we ponder the limitations of Asia (the band, not the continent) and lose our minds reading a listener's terrifying fanfic about the dude from Simply Red.
