Off Script with Lance Zierlein & Eric Ladin

Lance and Eric jump in to give their thoughts on the Rockets game 7 loss and where they go from there. The Astros bullpen has been shaky lately and that isn’t sitting well with the podcast. The Netflix original “Evil Genius” is a topic and Eric is more astonished by how messy a house is than a guy having a bomb strapped to his neck.

Lance is in Los Angeles for NFL Draft duties with NFL Network so why not trudge through LA traffic and roll over to Eric Ladin’s home office for face-to-face podcast! The sound quality is not optimal, but neither is Eric’s new mustache. This podcast is the epitome of “off-script” with topics changing in the blink of an eye. The Rockets playoff run, Astros starting pitching, a review of Wild Wild West, Eric’s new show “Six”, and how Ladin and his neighbors trick WAZE users are all on the show.

Lance Zierlein and Eric Ladin return to mics for their first podcast in months after Lance’s draft grind slowed and Eric’s acting jobs have finally slowed down. This episode hits on about 15 topics including whether or not Lance has been good luck for Eric’s acting career, the Astros as favorites headed into the season, Texans free agency, how to handle Jadeveon Clowney’s extension, Danny Green giving Lance’s kids the “itch-ass” at the Spurs/Rockets game and Eric’s unwillingness to do everything that it takes to help children when it comes to shooting his free throws. All questions and answers are on the podcast.

Lance Zierlein and Eric Ladin discuss whether the selection committee got the playoff right while Eric offers an alternate solution. The guys discuss the impact that Hurricane Harvey has had on America’s feelings towards Houston and Eric tells a story about seeing junkies in action on the streets of Canada. Finally, the guys take a deep dive into the Netflix documentary Jim and Andy which chronicles Jim Carrey’s “all-in” behavior almost 20 years ago when he made “Man on the Moon” about the life of Andy Kaufman.

Lance, Chris and Eric are back again looking at the college playoff situation including Kevin Sumlin’s firing, the hiring of Chip Kelly by UCLA and how the playoffs shake out. Chris and Lance tell Eric about their friend’s former business where he and another guy picked up dog sh*t – as a business – and Eric talks about his wrap party for the series “Six”.

Eric and Lance finally get to rehash their thoughts on the Astros winning the world series. Eric says A.J. Hinch actually did a good job of trying to hide his bullpen while Lance disagrees somewhat. Both guys talk about Springer working a walk in game 2 as the pivotal turn in his MVP run while Charlie “The Professor” Morton will ruin your shit. The sports gods can’t let Houston be happy so Deshaun Watson is gone, Lance went to NYC for his wife’s marathon there and Eric Ladin drops a bomb regarding the Kevin Spacey news.

After a World Series game that saw comeback after comeback, homerun after homerun, and bullpen implosion after bullpen implosion, the Astros come away with the their most memorable win in the most memorable World Series game in history (according to us). Eric, Lance and Chris use their lunch break to talk about the win, game 6 and the Texans in this quick-hit podcast.
