For this episode, we rope in Dummy No. 3 as Erik Pimentel joins Will Hernandez and LeeJay Parrilla for an almost 3-hour extravaganza!

Last week, Little League International put out a statement about betting on Little League World Series games. Apparently, there are offshore gambling sites that allow for such a thing, and of course, degenerates will be degenerates. Will, LeeJay, and Erik assemble to discuss the situation.

Are the Mets back? The Dummies aren't convinced even after the Mets took 2 of 3 from the Mariners over the weekend. They also discuss the situation surrounding Pete Alonso breaking the Mets' all-time home run record.

The halftime show this week is a little different as the Dummies open up packs of baseball cards.

On the other side of the break, it's a lot of football chatter as they discuss the Giants and Jets, and some college football. 

And this week, it's a Mt. Rushmore of fictional baseball characters in movies.

We had to do it. 

It's been a rough stretch for the Mets, so much so that we had trouble putting their struggles into the right words. But the 3 Dummies have assembled this week to put it all in perspective as Erik joins Will and LeeJay.

Elsewhere, we go through USA Today's rankings of MLB stadiums.

Our halftime topic remembers the outdoor games we used to play at a time when we didn't have technology available 24/7.

On the other side of the break, LeeJay gives his thoughts on Rick Pitino's opinion that the point guard doesn't exist anymore in basketball.

We then briefly chat about the NFL preseason before getting into it regarding the crazy sports TV deals happening with the NFL, ESPN, WWE, and UFC. And finally, our sports shorts focus on what's happening in Erik's town with a $62 million high school football stadium.

Our Mt. Rushmore examines the best sports venues we've visited, past or present.

The Mets and Yankees both made trades at last week's deadline in an effort to boost their respective teams. But the results haven't exactly been great as both the Mets and Yankees continue to struggle. LeeJay is back this week, but we also have a special segment with Larry Fleisher to discuss everything that went down with the Yankees.

We're debuting a new, occasional segment on this week's show called Happy Anniversary! And this one is not for the faint at heart. You've been warned.

On the other side of the segment, the 2 Dummies discuss whether the Giants and Jets would be interested in other teams' disgruntled players. We briefly chat Knicks with Mikal Bridges signing a contract extension. 

Then it's time for sports shorts with an assortment of topics: forehead kisses; dildos; the Connecticut Sun; Speedway Classic shitshow. 

Please enjoy!

The MLB trade deadline has come and gone and both the Mets and Yankees made moves to fortify themselves for the last two months of the season, with the hopes of winning a World Series in 2025.

Editor's note: We had some minor technical difficulties this week, so no timestamps this week. We apologize in advance!

LeeJay is back this week, and boy, did he give Will something to laugh at, brother! Of course, the 2 Dummies absolutely had to spend some time discussing Terry Bollea aka the immortal Hulk Hogan. 

As for the sports side of things, the Dummies begin somewhere they haven't before: with the Yankees. And it's because of Aaron Judge. The Mets started their West Coast trip with a bang in San Francisco. And while New York did make a trade, LeeJay wants to know when the blockbuster trade is going to happen.

Our halftime topic has to do with the ongoing discussion about the new Superman movie. 

On the other side of the break, it's all football as we discuss the Jets, Giants, the current situation with the NFL and ESPN. 

And finally, it's our Mt. Rushmore of foods we can't live without!

It was a mixed bag for New York Mets fans this past weekend. On Saturday, the Mets retired David Wright's No. 5 in an emotional pregame ceremony that reminded fans of his greatness, but also what could've been. And around all of this, the Mets lost 2 of 3 from the Reds.

Erik Pimentel fills in for LeeJay this week as he and Will discuss Wright's legacy, and the continued spotty play of the Mets.

In this baseball-focused episode, the Dummies also chime in on what happened with the Atlanta Braves and the Yankees' Jazz Chisholm.

Our halftime topic this week was something we HAD to do, and that was chime in on the now infamous happenings of the Astronomer CEO at THAT Coldplay concert. 

On the other side of the break, we discuss our feelings on the MLB All-Star Game and the "swing off".

For our sports shorts, we discuss Cam Ward; the Jets and Sauce Gardner; and the WNBA situation from over the weekend.

And finally, our Mt. Rushmore this week is sitcoms!

With MLB at the All-Star break, the 2 Dummies invited guests to this episode as we discuss how the Mets and Yankees have fared so far this season and what awaits them in the second half. Erik Pimentel rejoins the podcast, and Larry Fleisher is back to chat Yankees with Will. The first half of the show is all baseball as we also chat about the All-Star Game itself.

Our halftime topic poses this questions: If we were forced to erase one of the following from our minds, which would it be: 90s music or 90s movies?

On the other side of the break, Erik poses a question for us to debate: should postseason stats count to a player's overall career numbers?

Our sports shorts hit on Garrett Wilson's new contract, the "controversy" with Teddy Bridgewater, Manny Machado's career so far, and the hoopla around Bronny James vs. Cooper Flag in a Summer League Game.

Our Mt. Rushmore is a violent one: the most punchable faces in sports. Will's top choice throws the boys for a loop.

While it's not official, Mike Brown is set to become the next New York Knicks head coach. He wasn't exactly on the top of anyone's list when this search began, but he will lead the Knicks going forward. Despite a healthy winning record, some people believe Brown isn't as good of a coach as that record indicates. The 2 Dummies dive in.

With NBA free agency in full swing, we examine the moves made by both the Knicks and Nets, and give some quick thoughts on the rest of the league.

Our halftime topic has to do with some of the reaction from people regarding the P. Diddy case.

On the other side of the break, we get into the current state of the Mets and Yankees. Will also asks LeeJay if they're frauds considering some of the things they've said about young players in baseball and football.

Our sports shorts section includes Clayton Kershaw, the potential sports gambling scandal involved a Cleveland Guardians pitcher, Bobby Jenks' death, and WNBA expansion.

Please enjoy!

There used to be a time when the NBA Draft was much-see TV. Now? Not so much. Will barely watched it last week, while LeeJay didn't watch it at all. Still, there was much to discuss this week about the draft, why the Brooklyn Nets did what they did, R.J. Luis, and some general NBA notes.

Our halftime topic this week had to do with July 4th. We'll leave it at that!

On the other side of the break, the 2 Dummies get into a long discuss about the Mets (and this was before the Pirates swept them). Our sports shorts section this week focuses on the New York Giants, the NHL, and the NCAA potentially allowing college athletes and staff to bet on games. 

Our Mt. Rushmore this week is foods we need to have at the movie theatre!
