The boys are back from Atlantic City after a wildly fun and successful National - and back in the studio for the first time in two weeks!

What were their favorite pickups? What were some of the things that they were gifted by friends/fans of the pod? What were some of their takes on the top booths, activations and giveaways? What did they learn that can be useful going in to future Nationals? What lies ahead for the hobby?

They dive deep in to all of these questions and more, run a little variation on "Play of the Week" as we take a look at some of the best plays of the National, and talk a bit about the Juan Soto deal and what it could mean for the balance of power in Major League Baseball. Football is back. Fantasy football is back. It's all happening!
