Video Batsu

Under normal circumstances, when a theme is repeated in successive batsu games, we ban that theme.  However, since the theme here is video and we live in a "pics or it didn't happen" culture, we will make this an exception to the rule.

Recently, two video batsu games were issued.

The first is Tim, who had to do a campaign video for Mike's Kansas Senate campaign:



The second is Mike and Tim re-creating the famous car rental scene from the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  Mike is doing the Steve Martin role, while Tim is doing the Edie McClurg role.

Episode 204 - The List: Local Cuisines

The trolling of St. Louis by its former NFL team continues, as the team's COO was recently quoted on St. Louis cuisine, that they "couldn't eat the food."  (Take this to mean that either St. Louis cuisine is bad or the local eateries gave the team the "Yelper Special" for failing to pay them.)

So, Mike and Tim revive The List and count down the top local cuisines throughout the US.  Here's the list (and apologies to the many local delicacies that failed to make this list.  We may have to revisit The List next time to account for the ones we missed):

• Chicago deep dish pizza
• Chicago dog
• Cincinnati chili
• Kansas City barbecue
• Pinkberry (LA-based frozen yogurt)
• St. Louis style pizza (specifically Imo's Pizza)
• Whataburger (Texas-based hamburger chain)
• Wholey's Fish Market (Pittsburgh)

Stan's mentioned again, so "Senor Kroenke" makes another appearance.

Episode 203 - Should St. Louis Football Fans Become Chiefs Fans?

St. Louis football fans, want to become Chefs fans?

According to media reports in both St. Louis and Kansas City, the only NFL team left in the Show Me State is trying to market themselves in the city that the NFL just completely screwed out of a team.  The big question is: will it work?

Factors that need to be considered in such a decision (and, for those of you paying attention, Mike has already said "No" to the Chiefs):

• St. Louis' geographic proximity to 4 NFL cities.
• The role Chiefs ownership played in the LA debacle.
• Other factors that come into play.

Also, why is Stan trying to build ANYTHING in St. Louis after what he did?  He should be following the example set before him by the late Art Modell, who never set foot in Northeast Ohio after the 1996 stunt that stripped Cleveland of its beloved Browns and created the Baltimore Ravens.

Yes, we are talking about Stan, so "Senor Kroenke" makes an appearance.
