When we finally decided to start opening up the doors to The Annex and sharing our collection with you via our new podcast, we did so for two main reasons. One: to tell our signature bread-and-butter researched and written stories, but about topics that we wouldn't normally get to do via our series on YouTube, and two: to chat with each other in a way more loose and freewheeling way just like we do in the office. We've had a mix of both in the first two episodes, but this third episode falls squarely in the latter category.

For this episode, we're headed to SIX, which is on the 7th floor of The Annex (Will's hosting this one - I'll let him explain). It's a floor full of Hexagons where we engage in spirited debate about things regarding or related to the number 6. Sit back, relax, and let Will take you on an audio journey to discover the joy of six.

This being on the 7th floor and not the 6th is an incongruency I can't bear.

Mike Westfall

I’m delighted to remind you that Antonio Alfonseca’s Dugout screen name was HolyShitIHaveSixFingers.

June Sylvia

this whole episode feels like a targeted ad, y'all said my name, birthday and jersey number so many times 🙃

MaxBoltzman

Eventually all the players will have to have fractions because the whole numbers have been retired. Just like on Futurama.

I feel like this pod is extremely slept on. Not just in general, but in the SB Patreon space in general. Such great production & interesting stories in each ep so far. Keep it up Anonymous Campsite

No joke, Jaylin Williams is absolutely my favorite basketball player in the league, loved the shoutout he got

Keita O Erskine

Roberto Alomar's #12 has been unretired by the Blue Jays after his ban from baseball

Seth Rosenthal

oh meant to mention: I realized after recording that the Heat "honor" Dan Marino's 13 but they haven't retired it from use, as evidenced by the fact that Bam Adebayo currently wears it -S

Regarding the article from 1966 that feels like it should be from 1866; a whole lot of women's rights have happened in the last 60 years, such that someone 40 or less might not realize it. I am not even old enough to be retired, and I can remember the time when a woman could not get any major credit card (this changed in 1974)!

Isn't the lobby like, floor 0? I never think of ground floor or lobby as floor 1, but that is just me.

Comrade Jay

Best number is 9 because of Alan Shearer and a host of other former Newcastle Players.

Evan

my father was born on 6/6/66

So many good things I could say, but that "Let's talk about six" outro is something I'm going to be thinking about for the rest of my life

Because you guys were wondering in the annex, as a bills fan, I did in fact search up if oj's number was retired. It was in fact not actually ever retired by the bills, but it was out of circulation until 2019 when Senorise Perry was signed to the bills and chose 32. Currently kyron brown, a db on the practice squad wears 32.

Also will, the notice that you looked into about Mary Anne Rosetta was actually quite common back in the day. Many times when women wanted to break the marriage back then it was not allowed so instead women would run away. On top of this, because the wives would be the ones in charge of buying things for the house, many merchants and shopkeepers would see the wives enter their stores and just assume whatever they were buying on run away was for their home. Because of this, the husband's would commonly put into the newspaper to not accept charges of credit that the wives would charge, and in many times, a bounty to return the wife home was put out. In some cases, the wives would actually respond to their husbands in the newspaper to call them out and stuff. Source for all of this: one of my college professors wrote her dissertation on it, the books called "stray wives" by Mary Beth Sievens.

I believe 32 was a popular jersey number because of many NBA players staunch support of a united Ireland
