Alan and Sam ponder our grave national obsession with oligarchy - which is, as usual, very related to Baltimore Orioles baseball, we swear.

The Morons celebrate the original groundhog, Don Buford, consider the legacy of Brady (not the one you're thinking of), and cower in fear at the speed of Miguel Cabrera's hands. Got thoughts? Tweet 'em: @bmorons. Thanks for listening!

The Morons try to figure out why fans tend to sympathize with owners during labor disputes, and then remember that the answer is a deep-rooted American rot that can probably never be resolved! PLUS: Alan requests your submissions on A Thing (no it's not the Nickname Episode, but stay tuned for updates on that!).

The Morons return with a series of unfortunate updates on the state of sports ownership, the legacy of Nick Markakis, and their recent discovery of podcasting's market inefficiency.

Have we already had an episode called "Swamp Monster?" That feels likely. WHAT TO DO WITH CHRIS DAVIS, FRIENDS? We talk about it. Also, in a typically unconvoluted manner, we discuss The Nature of True Progress, and why the 2019 Orioles are IT, BABY.

Your favorite sporadically-produced podcast about your favorite sporadically-talented team is...well, not back, really, but here is a new episode, of a kind. The questions: who had the worse 2018 - Donald Trump or the Orioles? And should ballparks be more like the Alamo Drafthouse?

Once again: dozens of horrible puns, half-baked explanations, and crackpot political theories. Plus: JT Gwozdz with actual good ideas.

Is it safe to podcast again? Why do we baseball in Trump's America? Should Dylan Bundy throw the cutter? Argh.

Here they are, in all their, um, glory isn't the right word, uh - anyway, here's a whole bunch of ill-considered nicknames. We are once again joined by the steely-eyed and solemn-hearted Judge Marko, who, as is his wont, refuses to take any guff. Unfortunately, as is OUR wont, that's all we've got for him.
