Everyone but Eric here is INSANE. Sure you wont feel as much pain, only because your head is gonna bouce off the ground so hard you won't be able to feel anything ever again. People get paralyzed, concussed, hospitalized all the time in football tackles. Rarely do beamed batters get anything other than a shiner and some temporary pain

The beginning of this episode is like a sequel to a movie where they start immediately after the post-credit scene from the first one.

[@Trifflinunicorn]

I played catcher in softball and caught a pitch bare handed and broke my thumb and some blood vessels. Compared to a lot of painful experiences, it wasn't that bad. It was definitely not a 90+ fast ball though. I slid under someone and they stepped on my hand. Their metal cleats going into my hand was way more painful.

[@AnonymousNeptune]

Yeah Andrew has the linebacker vs baseball thing completely backwards. Unless you get hit by the ball in the head/throat or the spine, the chances of the average person getting life-alteringly injured is WAY higher with the linebacker Also Geoff saying Rhamondre Stevenson looks awesome this season is some hilarious timing considering a report just dropped that says they Patriots are considering making Gibson the starter this week

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

Eric was the only person who was right in the baseball vs linebacker discussion as someone who has been hit by both

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

Dramatically important question that I can't believe they didn't bring up in the fast ball vs linebacker debate: Is the linebacker fully geared up with pads and a helmet or is he just wearing normal clothes? Yeah, a linebacker tackling you is going to hurt. But, it's not a hard object moving at 90+ mph! And, in regards to Eric's argument about having to constantly update the gear in football, that's specifically because the gear keeps hurting people. There's a legitimate argument to be made to go back to the leather helmets.

[@bzgraphicartist]

A friend of mine got hit in the face with a baseball at a Blue Jays game a couple months ago. The bruising and swelling was insane. Her forehead looked like that picture of Andrew as a child.

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

that is probably due to a foul ball which a ball hit travels faster than when the ball is thrown.

[@marcusm8453]

I think we need to call out Gavin for not even try to do the jigsaw & then let Meg finish it in a week😮

[@morgancarlton4544]

I don't think you can throw something faster than terminal velocity. Air resistance causes terminal velocity, so it's the same medium whether the object is falling or traveling horizontally

[@TaylorChildAkaWeapon]

You might be able to get it to terminal velocity briefly! But you're right - air resistance will bring it back to terminal real quick.

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

@@TaylorChildAkaWeapon your average person sure, but a professional pitcher or QB oh they easily could. TV deals with falling objects. Which is dictated mostly by mass of the object.

[@saarl99]

You know when you crack a whip and it makes that sound? That's the whip going faster than the _speed of sound_ which is way more than its terminal velocity. So yeah you can get stuff to go faster than terminal velocity; air resistance will just slow it down after you let it go.

[@donlim9247]

I also picked the Bengals in week 1. Took out like a third of the group.

...have you never listened to the podcast? He always talks about falling

[@AugmentedSmurf]

Gavin, a LOT of people say that Espresso sounds very very similar to Say So by Doja Cat. As someone who only just listened to both songs for the first time about 2 minutes ago, I can see how they sound very similar.

[@sams2124]

Geoff is really not wrong at 12:45. hotdog companies have to send a royalty check to the company because I decided to go out and buy myself a pack of hotdogs and fire up the old grill the other day. My entire life I’ve been a fervent hamburger elitist when it comes to the hamburger hotdog battle. Having said that, this dog might’ve changed my opinion on the matter.

[@sighduck9789]

Andrew just gave KZbin a new idea Side note: iirc the lowered the mound because one pitcher was too good some time in like the 60s Edit it was because a lot of pitchers were doing great, Bob Gibson just was basically unfazed by the change Also did Eric forget about the pitcher helmet hats

[@LaZyREBaL]

how did they get from baseballs and linebackers to grapes and kiwis the ad break really made that hard to follow also the question can be anologized as do you wanna get shot with a rubber bullet or be in a minor car crash

[@Robbiebert14]

So someone can check my math, but the only way the baseball would do more damage is if you got like a critical hit (i.e. brain damage). A linebacker tackling you would be more than 100 times the force than the baseball. baseball mass kg: 0.149 baseball speed m/s: 43.809 baseball force N: 6.528 linebacker mass kg: 108.862 linebacker speed m/s: 7.951 linebacker force N: 865.561762 baseball to linebacker ratio: 132.592

[@sighduck9789]

Your M/s for anlinebacker is very generous the average Linebacker runs 4.54 40yd dash and that's without pads. It should be 8.056 at the lowest because they said they're using the average The baseball should be around 94 mph, which is 41.932 m/s (Based on the current numbers)

[@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas]

then you have to factor what the person getting tackled how they are going to land from the tackle there head bouncing off the ground they are going to have concussions.

[@Robbiebert14]

@@sighduck9789 I definitely didn't pull my numbers from proper official sources, I don't know football at all so I just grabbed the first numbers Google showed me that looked realistic. Still though, it's still literal orders of magnitude more force from a linebacker than a baseball

[@sighduck9789]

@Robbiebert14 I mean, they're fairly close, for sure, meaning they're probably numbers from maybe 10 years (or more) ago. In the same vein Linebackers have also gotten smaller since like 2015 (most likely the main reason that they've gotten faster).

[@austinmoore5334]

I’d take the linebacker anyday. My cousin was never in professional football he played in college and was about 320 and 6’5”. He launched me like I was a paperweight but the hit and energy was dispersed in me being launched. I’d rather that then a small object impact into me at 90+

Eric is right. Getting hit by a linebacker would be 100x worse. As someone who’s played BOTH sports.

[@calebashton1]

The summer music discussion made me realize how out of touch I am. I've never heard of any of those artists.

[@foxyazure4272]

Linebacker is the no-brainer choice. More impact distribution over a larger area of your body. That fastball may be small but that's just going to focus the force into a smaller area and annihilate that spot. You're gonna be sore from the Linebacker but you're gonna break something with the fastball.

[@jasonhunter2819]

It's part of his ritual...so Andrew is part of the Cult Mechanicus confirmed, Praise the Omnissiah!

[@sojiro288]

If you want evidence of fast ball damage, hack smith has a video of his hand getting destroyed by one.

[@DaneSteffanni-wt9fw]

I hate it when Mom & Dad fight! I get where Eric is coming from but i also see why Geoff was annoyed. Fact is Gavin and Andrew aren't running errands, so it always falls on Eric Geoff and Nick. Eric just doesn't want to be the full-time gopher, and i dont blame him.

[@jalensmith7387]

Innovations to football helmets are mainly to mitigate damage from head to head contact, not the tackling, besides tackling has been common in several sports since civilization (id pick tackling)

[@CaliRed1865]

Geoff, after finding out how difficult it was to find out what episode was what, why didn't you go back to the released copy, listen to that for 60 seconds or so to gather what you're listening for, and then go through the first minute of each episode to find it quicker? It has to be better than just rawdogging your files

[@IMCABLETV]

This episode is just unhinged

[@MHz619]

12:23 oh Geoff we are far past that already

[@longliverocknroll5]

It’s crazy to me that any American would rather be tackled than take a fastball. Fastball pain is going to be much quicker and isolated. Linebacker pains is your entire body and potentially a concussion or loss of conscuousness. There’s no debate: it’s fastball every day.
