It’s another Monday night in San Antonio, and Sam Freas and the crew are back in the Cave with a jam-packed episode that hits harder than a Rusty Greer diving catch (AI wrote this but I kind of dig it -Puma). From reliving a childhood memory of witnessing Kenny Rogers’ perfect game to witnessing a little hanky panky at Yankee Stadium, this episode is a nostalgic, hilarious, and insightful rollercoaster through sports, history, and tequila-fueled tangents.

Sam kicks things off with a countdown to NFL Opening Night (Cowboys vs. Eagles, baby!) and a birthday shoutout to Manu Ginóbili. They dive into National Water Park Day memories, Buffalo Soldiers history, and the art of sipping—not shooting—top-shelf tequila.

The Cave crew also breaks down:

• The Rangers’ red-hot post-All-Star surge and bullpen needs
• A Yankees Minute that turns into a full-blown Judge vs. Ohtani stat war
• The NFC West preview: Why Cap thinks his 49ers are Super Bowl-bound (and why he’s not sold on Seattle)
• The Cowboys’ injury woes and more Micah Parsons contract drama

Plus, Sam shares the awkward hilarity of being the only childless adult at a kid’s birthday party and the power trip of controlling the bar’s jukebox Wi-Fi. And in the Lightning Round: RIP to various legends like Hulk Hogan, Chuck Mangione, and Ryne Sandberg. Also, Luka Doncic gets shredded, and Gatorade’s new WNBA slogan goes hilariously off the rails.
