DS recaps, CS talk, and we jinx Yamamoto live on the show while simultaneously disavowing magical thinking. Then we try to remember if we ever talked about Christian Yelich allegedly eating ass on the show before.

The regular season is over and not a second too soon for some of us. We look forward (kinda, mostly) to the postseason, look back at 2026, and talk about Bryce Harper's couch you can get at the Goodwill, Jason Benetti getting absolutely cooked on the broadcast, people on the internet being awful towards a woman at a Giants game, and Big Brother. Lauren also debuts a new hobby.

When we reached out to Mattie about Wach Party, she immediately said she wanted to do the Speed Racer episode. Can't blame her, it rules.

A deep dive into the chicken tenders at Oracle Park, a shocking betrayal at the Guardians' hot dog race, a debate of orbs versus cubes as status symbols, the eldritch terror of the Nats bullpen situation, the major sports leagues and their players unions put out a statement on gambling harassment, remembering some 1990s genre TV, and Laz Diaz talks like a cop on his way out the door.

Jonathan Schoop arrested on gun charges, a story about Oneil Cruz's fixer keeping a fatal car accident quiet, we're kinda down on baseball in general right now. Plus Jane plays some pokemon, Stephen has some gruesome details about his family's Civil War history, and the three of us talk about playing Delta Green together over the weekend.

An ump being a stupid racist redass, Angels get sold, a Royal pukes and Royals fans assemble a huge hotdog (these are unrelated), Boston Heated Rivalry Night, Ketel Marte's struggles, the Philly/DMV Reacher season, the Clippers punishment, some mailbag.

BTW Jane looked it up and she knows she's wrong about the NFL ownership rules, that was abolished almost a decade ago. You don't have to correct her.
