It's time for a Texas-sized celebration... on a comically underwhelming parade route. Jake and Jordan break down the hangover from the World Series - whether Corey Seager’s performance earned him the right to not say anything at all during the celebration, Evan Carter’s hilarious postgame social media clip, the legend that is Bruce Bochy, and a look back on what was an incredible year for the Diamondbacks, as well as whether the sub-par World Series ratings really matter at all.

The Texas Rangers are one win away from their first ever World Series title after beating the DBacks in an incredibly lopsided Game 4. Jake and Jordan break down all of the action from the game, debate over whether it was one of the least interesting World Series games ever (and how much it being a bullpen game may have contributed to this) and talk about Jake’s bold strategy to help boost the tension within the stadium. Then, the guys look ahead to tonight’s Game 5, which could very well be the final game of 2023.

After Rangers pitching coach Mike Maddux was involved in Atta Boy Gate 2.0 with Tommy Pham in Game 2, Tommy Pham responded by tweeting out a note-taking emoji. Jake and Jordan break down this exchange and ponder what on-field hijinks Pham could utilize in Game 3. Then, the guys give their impressions of Corbin Carroll’s handling of the spotlight, touch on Christian Walker’s struggles, go through their favorite moments from the player and manager press conferences, and answer a listener e-mail about forgotten players on either the Rangers or Diamondbacks who deserve Championship Rings.
