We kick off the new year discussing Mike's family move into a house with mice and showcasing a potential sponsor. We introduce our Beef League positional series, this week on Catchers and DH (Utility position). Things like which are keepers, how the position will get drafted in 2025, and some interesting names to think about ahead of the draft. We close on Wins category, the pros & cons of the stat, and ramble about if changing is worth it.

Cambodia Flying Canucks are 2024 champions and everyone else gets to look ahead to 2025. We briefly recap the championship and move on to honoring the Beef League managers of the 2024 season, the worst and the best. Mostly just the worst though (*cough* Suneel *cough*). Trade season is now upon us, let Aleks' offers commence!

FINALS WEEK! Its finally here, and The Brute Squad is facing the juggernaut, Cambodia Flying Canucks, for the bobblehead and crown as 2024 Champion. But first, we recap the semi-finals and lament what apparently had to be. We outline what to expect with the Finals and spend a generous amount of time on the Chicago Bears, a team who routinely fails to develop star quarterbacks. Oh well.

That was scary. Wild card round was wild. We recap Aleks v Dave and Chip v Suneel, and now the victors proceed to John and Josh. The SemiFinals are among us now and we make predictions. We close with a cathartic rant about being handy and the stupidness of inventing Allenwrenches. At least Aleks' renovation is nearly done.

The regular season is over. Let's quickly recognize Josh:

Whose world is this?
The world is yours, the world is yours
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine."

UP NEXT: Wild card round, Chip v Suneel (aka Good v Evil) and Aleks v Dave (Tweedle-dee v Tweedle-dum). Who will face the juggernauts, Josh and John? Stay tuned to the next ep.

DOWN THE STRETCH WE COME...to week 22. We recap week 21, 3 playoff spots are locked up, basically. 4 teams vie for 3 remaining spots. Aleks vs Zavo, winner is in. The top seed and the bat, are up in the air (Josh win guarantees the bat). Lets all just hope Suneel loses so chaos doesn't reign. Also, we have a listener voicemail from a surprising guest caller. All in all, an enjoyable listen in advance to an exciting final week of the regular season.

Well, it was a fun season. Despite Aleks' electrical issues, we cover the Week 20 recap, and project the week 21 and all the miscues ahead. Aleks claims he's going to run the table due to picking up Luis Rengifo. Only 2 more weeks!

As Tom Petty says, "the waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiting is the hardest part", I'm pretty sure he meant having to wait 2 weeks to hear this episode where we recap TWO weeks, the trade deadline and talk extensively about Aleks' newfound love for the failed prospect/monkey owner Victor "Vicente" Robles. Also, Chip shouldn't do the intro.

Week 18 was a full week and truly full of epic outcomes. Upsets happened, another team is now a seller and lets be honest: Mike and Vishnu each winning is def epic (Aleks' called Mike's win). We looked ahead to week 19 matchups, briefly mention Dave's squad as he seems bound for playoffs somehow, and I pick Suneel to win which goes against every fiber of Chip's being.

"When it rains it pours", someone smart once said. Well, after a THREE DAY week, chaos poured on the Beef League. We tried our best to summarize the week, or whatever it was, and looked ahead to a REAL week. Speaking of pouring, we also saw a bunch of trades. Not sure what got into half the league. We recapped those and then took a brief stab at Junior and Zavo's playoff chances seeing that they're in 2nd & 3rd place respectively.
