I wonder if I can bet on "Edge and Kelsey Grammer being in the same scene and Kelsey being the one to say 'a dude fucking an alligator'" with my time machine and Kalshi.
This week's DARTY PARTY USA pod:
- Quick hits on last week's/this week's Premier League nights, pick for the latter
- A thorough breakdown of the Coachella of Darts, The UK Open, happening this weekend
- Brad gets mildly upset about sixes lacrosse in our Obscure Sports America segment
Wow, an almost adventurous amount of typos in that first post.
HOWEVER, I have reached out to their media and marketing departments to see if there's a way to get them through a different method. So, we're working on it!
Ppdate on this, I wasn't able to parse the scheduling either the World Bowls (the governing body) or World Bowls Tour (the people who run the Professional Bowls Association, a distinct but connected group of people) to figure out when they would have streaming tournament.
Violent alcoholism, as far as I can tell.
The UK (Darts) Open answers the question βWhat if March Madness fucked Coachella and made drunken English babies?β
Premier League on Peacock this week, at least. Last week I had to watch the Italian feed after the English one on the PDC site crashed during the SF.
They _may_ have to change up some of the lyrics, but it'll get you where you need to go.
Worst case, just do a Windies team for baseball! If there is a concern about not being able to field a full team for the smaller Caribbean islands, just put them all together and change the patch slightly.
They already have a "national"/team anthem!
There is a match with three potential opponents (Mansell v. Ritchie/Leek/Sharp) who are all TCHs and there are three other matches with four potential opponents where some of them are TCHs. But there's only one person who will be facing off against 1 of 4 ranked opponents who also played 2 matches.
Fun fact in my UK Open research:
There is exactly one Round 3 match where all *four* potential opponents for the player that enters at that point -- James Hurrell -- are PDC tour card holders, Bellmont/Manby/Thorpe/LjubiΔ.
I'll try to get them on the schedule tracking starting next week.
For newcomers:
*Squash
**Jai alai
New sport added: π¦π is Australian Rules Football (they don't have a specific emoji). π¦ may seem like stereotyping. but it was chosen because of the jumping rule in the game AND because the AUS and NZE flags are too similar to use the former as a distinct symbol.
New up streaming schedule for obscure sports programming today through Friday.
This week's tracking includes:
π | π₯ | π― | π | β½οΈ | πΉ ππ₯| πΊππ₯ | πΈπ₯ | πΈ* | π€Ύ | π¦π |πͺ**| π | πΊπ

A better world is possible, especially when Sean Paul does the song.
They play this godforsaken song roughly 900 times a game and a bumper for every c-break.
The Windies 'national anthem' "Rally 'Round the West Indies" by David Rudder is the best 'Song on a soundtrack that's literally just a plot summary/explanation of the movie' in history, narrowly beating out "Men in Black" by Will Smith. In dead last is this year's T20 Cricket World Cup theme song.
Ay-yo (hey-neo Vuh-lez)
So complimentary. Maybe the most complimentary compliment I can give.
Randy Orton is the biggest human being to ever be a wrestler. Just an ogre of a dude.
Less sorry, Logan.
Sorry, Raquel.
Really excited to update the Elimination Chamber database.
Beware the Pod of Death!
Also, w/r/t soccer: The games we list are all from obscure leagues/cups, many of which don't have commentary (especially not in English) and appear almost exclusively on FIFA+. We also include the JAPAN 100 YEAR VISION LEAGUE because we love the name and also because it's only streaming on YT.
The abundance of curling has a bit to do, at least partially, with us listing matches individually for The Brier, which we didn't do for squash, but for squash, the number of individual matches total would have been four (one semi and two finals) this weekend.
For the data viz nerds, here is a breakdown by sport (overall, not subsets like pro vs. college lax) for the vents this weekend.
Soccer 54
Rugby 21
MLAX 17
Curling 16
WLAX 15
Cricket 3
WHockey3
Squash 3
Handball 2
VBALL 1
I have subscribed to the World Bowls YT page, and have their events page open right now, but I am not 100% what events they stream.
I will track this stuff for the schedule, though. We'll keep tabs on *any* sport that has a governing body/league and is available to watch, basically.
