The AL Garbage, NL Garbage, hot dogs, PBR pounders, and the potential for regularly published episodes in our future.

Hey, look; an episode in 2023!  It's a catch-up pod driven by the passing of our beloved #1 fan, Uncle Bill.  We cover a lot of ground with our fandom - most of it negative - but the band was back together for a night.

Mike was covided-out, so it's just Mark and Ryan talking about their bourbon collections, AD internships, female coaches and AD, not being ready to discuss Maverick yet, and Ryan's pseudo-ambulance driving skills.

The long-awaited post-July 1 episode includes additional good news from Mike about his Boy #2.  After some initial chatter, Mark describes his last school year, and then Mike (of course) has to chat about the White Sox.

It's just Ryan and Mark today because Mike became a Dad x2!  It takes a while, but the guys eventually get to some semi-professional content by chatting about NIL.

We know it's Tuesday, but there are no rules anymore!  Professional development, NIL, Rethinking Fandom, Candlebox, and the marching band.

We're back!  It's a new format with the same nonsense: a little of this, a little of that, some things that might be helpful, and a lot that won't be.   No guarantees for the time between this one and the next one, but for today, we're back.

Like Arnold, Slim Shady, and Michael Scott, we're back.  The people have demanded it, so we're delivering.  Enjoy.

The Off Duty ADs say so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodnight.  We also discuss our level of professionalism vs amateurism, the growth of HS AD podcasts, getting snubbed by the NIAAA, a handful of our longtime listeners, our t-shirt ideas, and a parting shot at Uncle Bill.

The Off Duty ADs talk about activities association imposed roster limits.  They also discuss the impact of oversize rosters during the post-season, possible advantages to unlimited rosters, trying to compare sports rosters to classroom rosters, dollar and beyond dollar impacts, how we'd deal with unlimited rosters, youth baseball parents, and new legislation for Colorado.
