  • Full Show - Tuesday, August 25th
    In The Loop kicks off the show discussing the uncertainty surrounding Joe Espada’s future with the Astros following the departure of general manager Dana Brown. With conflicting reports about Espada’s status and what conversations he may have had about his future, ITL asks the bigger question: Does it even matter at this point? The conversation then shifts to the Texans following their trade for Kayshon Boutte, as the guys debate whether adding another weapon to the receiving corps is enough to make them confident in the offense after losing Jayden Higgins for the season. The first hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What are the best uniforms in life — not just sports?
    ITL then goes Around The NFL, reacting to the biggest news, roster moves, and storylines from across the league as the regular season approaches. The conversation shifts back to the Astros as the guys ask what happened to the Astros general manager job. Following Dana Brown’s departure, ITL examines how the position has evolved under Jim Crane, how much power the next GM could actually have, and what Houston needs from whoever eventually takes over. The hour wraps with What’s Popping, covering the biggest trending stories from sports and entertainment.
    Later, ITL has some fun with another game of Would Ya Rather, forcing the guys to choose between some tough, ridiculous, and hilarious scenarios. The crew then opens the floor for another edition of ITL Lunch-Time Confessions, with the guys and listeners getting a few things off their chest. The hour wraps with College Football on a Tuesday, as ITL dives into the biggest conversations and storylines around college football with the 2026 season getting ready to kick off.
    The final hour begins with ITL reacting to Texans tight end Foster Moreau’s comments following practice, discussing what the veteran had to say and what his role could look like in Houston’s offense this season. The show wraps with Figgy’s Mixtape, leading with BREAKING NEWS of the death of country music icon Dolly Parton at the age of 80. Figgy and the guys react to the loss of one of the most influential entertainers of all time before diving into some WTF news out of Baltimore, the drama involving Enes Kanter and the WNBA, and more wild stories to close out the show.

  • HR 1 – Does Joe Espada’s Future Even Matter? Kayshon Boutte & QOTD

Espada remains the Astros manager, but his contract expires after this season and his future remains unsettled. The conversation then shifts to the Texans after their trade for Kayshon Boutte, as ITL debates whether adding the former Patriots receiver is enough to restore confidence in the offense following the loss of Jayden Higgins. Boutte gives C.J. Stroud another proven option after recording 551 yards and six touchdowns last season.
