I've been following the Major League Baseball playoffs... begrudgingly. I don't have a strong rooting interest. Since the Rays have decided not to move to Montreal, I feel a connection has been severed.

I understand, Dallas Cowboys fans. Since the Cincinnati Bengals achieved success a few years ago, I've approached the beginning of each new season with enthusiasm... only to have that enthusiasm dashed.

This week, the podcast is looking at the future of transportation. I feel like I'm an authority in this field given my tragic and also hilariously ironic relationship with Texas roads.

A common theme here at the Scaia Institute of Awe-Inspiring Wonderment (patent pending) is we're never done growing. Even the Fletcher family agrees.

Last week was a sad anniversary. We looked back at how the world changed in just a few minutes one morning 25 years ago. "You know what?" the City of Garland said. "Scaia needs a happier anniversary. He's really harshing his podcast audience's buzz right now."

This week, we talked about how teachers are trying to figure out the best way to teach the September 11 attack as a history lesson. George W. Bush is at the National September 11 Memorial today, but before he left, he had some things he wanted to get off his chest.

This week, we'll stop arguing with each other about politics just long enough to mark the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. This year marks 25 years since the attack, and I've told even more people about where I was on 9/11, even though none of them asked.

We all hope the best for the next generation. This week, a new season of #ScaiPod (also available on Spotify!) is debuting with a look at the unique ways Texans try to get kids excited for their education.

Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I visit one of Oklahoma's casinos with associates each year around my birthday. Several of us have birthdays around the same time, so we feel a casino junket is the most responsible way to plan financially for the year ahead.

You might recall Texas hosted some soccer matches as part of an international tournament earlier this summer. We've previously discussed some of the big auctions at the Heritage Auctions house in Irving ranging from the Declaration of Independence to an autographed cassock worn by Pope Francis.

There must be a way for Buc-ee the Beaver and Ohio to coexist. I was excited, in my role as Texas Diplomat (Note from the State of Texas: This is the first we've heard about having a diplomat to Ohio) to introduce Ohioans to beaver-themed waffle irons.

Li'l Baby Scaia would have been enamored of a theme park that opened this summer in Grapevine. Dig World invites munchkins to try out heavy construction equipment.

Has the world grown weary enough of algorithms? Last year, we discussed how Netflix apparently heard me talking about a plane crash and suggested I watch Manifest.

Each year, students from across the country head to Texas Motor Speedway to race solar-powered cars. They design their own cars and bring them to Fort Worth to race across Texas.

Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I recently lied my way into a summit for the world's greatest minds. In that blog, we touched on some of the greatest issues facing humanity including, but not limited to, the history of toilet paper. But I also mentioned going to a seminar about politics.

My cyber security guy has always made himself available for interviews. Whenever a government agency or big corporation has a problem, I know I can call him up, and he's ready to explain the differences between a cyber attack or an internal software or hardware issue.

Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I am a member of the world's brain trust. As such, the greatest minds on the planet met in Fort Worth last week to solve the world's most pressing issues and also gain a greater understanding of the history that led us this far.

For years, in the interest of journalism, I participated in a celebrity hot dog eating contest at Curly's Frozen Custard in Fort Worth. Never mind that the "celebrities" were people whose names you might sort of recall hearing on the radio or reading in a newspaper byline but had never felt especially strongly about.

I often write about how we shouldn't spend so much of our free time arguing with strangers on the internet. Turns out I was wrong.

The world and Texas have now spent a few weeks getting to know each other. For instance, the Dutch have introduced themselves in the form of one of the most rockin' buses you'll see on the highway.
