Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor gather on the Monday of All-Star week as the news cycle slows down, which gives the guys a chance to reflect on how the 2024 season has gone. They look at the team overall before diving into each unit of the squad, management, broadcast, and more.

Craig, Chris, and Raphie gather with a group of PHT patrons after the Padres dropped four straight games at home to the Dbacks and Mariners. As of recording, the Padres had slid out of a playoff position. We hear from bloomers, doomers, and everything in between.

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor gather on an off-day Monday night as the Padres recuperate from a D-Backs series loss that came off the back of four straight series wins. The Padres have been playing mostly good baseball as of late – but that one series loss came against the least optimal opponent. On top of that, the bullpen and rotation remain huge question marks even as the offense surges. Can the Padres hold it together and get to October?

Craig and Raphie are on vacation but Chris, your watcher on the wall, never rests. Join him and a few patrons as they bask in the glow of another incredible win from the Padres.

Chris Reed and Raphie Cantor (Craig is on vacation!) gab on the night after the Padres dropped a series finale to the Red Sox, but only after winning 5 games in a row and 9 out of 10. The team are still firmly in the "hot" category as they head to Texas with a new roster and potentially new expectations.

Craig Elsten and Raphie Cantor (Chris Reed sends his best) chat after the Padres took 3 of 4 from the Brewers at home, narrowly missing out on a 4-game sweep and their first 5-game win streak of the season. But you know the drill–the Padres were 41-40 going into Sunday's game, they couldn't get too far above .500, now could they? We talk Brewers, the Nats upcoming lefty-heavy rotation, Shildt's Jomboy mishap, and a fun game of trivia on Certified Padre Killers.

Craig Elsten and Chris Reed (sans Raphie, who had a family obligation) gather with PHT patrons on the Padres Hot Tub Group Therapy discord stage for an hour-long call-in show, discussing why the Padres keep losing, why they may continue to lose for a little while, but how the season's goals are still within reach.

Craig Elsten, Chris Reed, and Raphie Cantor gather on the Sunday after the Storm split a series with the Stockton Ports, each team taking three games a piece. But questions remain - Will .500 be good enough for a Cal League playoff spot? Does Leo De Vries want it enough? Are Wyatt Hoffman and Nick Vogt actually BETTER than we think? And why did Rosman Verdugo steal from the working people of Temecula Valley? It's a scorcher of an episode, tune in!
