Darren Smith and John Gennaro kick off today's show with some gratitude and appreciation for people in their lives that are going through some stuff before moving on to what they've head about the San Diego Padres managerial search. They also talked about Alvin Duran's exit from the Padres and if it means anything for A.J. Preller before giving their own takes about the 2025 World Series between the Dodgers and Blue Jays.

The guys then welcome Joseph Lowery from Backheeled to the show to help San Diego FC fans understand what's coming this week when the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs kick off and what the future of the team looks like beyond this year.

After the interview, John talks about why he's nervous about Sunday's game and Darren reflects on a fantastic conversation he had with Amahl Pellegrino before they get distracted and start talking about television.
