Rain Delay Theater

It’s time for our annual Over/Under recap episode plus a lengthy account of the guys’ trip to the Chicago Sports Spectacular card show in Rosemont, IL! We discover it was truly a tale of two seasons for the Cubs, the Brewers seem to have a murky future ahead, and we keep meeting weirdos at the bus when graphing. Jack and Jeremy also detail their experience getting Cecil Fielder’s autograph at the card show plus meeting an awesome grapher who had a table set up and hearing some of his war stories autograph hunting! Plus, stay tuned for Jeremy’s account of spotting a podcast favorite on his solo trip to the card show later that weekend. Great times in this ep, enjoy!

Jack and Jeremy convene for a special emergency minisode to discuss the hiring of Craig Counsell, the firing of David Ross, and the fallout of the move and graphing implications!

In light of the World Series, Jack and Jeremy run down a list of deadline trade acquisitions who would go on to win the World Series with their new club. Some bums jumped on the bandwagon of a really good team, some guys you forgot about, and just a few guys who actually made the difference for a team winning it all.

The time has come for our 2nd Annual Bus Awards! Who will be named Best Ally, Biggest A-hole, and Worst Snub? Tune in to find out! The ep is always a great way to revisit some of the great and agonizing moments graphing from this past season!

The last game of the year has Jack and Jeremy at Wrigley back to their old graphing ways, a continuation of the Pirates series really. The guys were on Kris Bryant watch and end up getting a ton of Rockies instead. The big story of this episode - the Gray Grapher is back and opens up in his own way to the guys. It's a jam-packed ending to the 2023 season of baseball and graphing. Many autos are obtained, a few snubs occur, and one player gets startled out of his jock strap by the Gray Grapher's booming autograph call!

The RDT boys head down to G-Rate Field for one last White Sox game of the season...luckily they sit by an old bonehead and his ma - he thinks Justin Fields blows! The guys also graph the entire Cubs/Pirates series and have a run in with another guy who blows, but it's NOT Justin Fields. An idiot has a message for Derek Shelton, Ji-hwan Bae disses Jack and Jeremy, there's goofballs at the Cubs lot, and Big Shawty returns! A lot going on here - tune in!

Jack and Jeremy collectively cover the entire Cubs/DBacks series without actually attending a game together. Lots of autographs were attained, but the Gray Grapher casts his crusty, sourpuss pallor over most of the weekend. Mike Fetters captures the guys' focus as he plays hard to get, Bob Brenly eludes, a Cubs bus driver disses Tony Perezchica, and restaurant tips are offered to players (and rejected!). There's a lot going on in this marathon episode - friends, weirdos, and Josh makes a cameo.

The stakes have never been higher (on the field, at least) as Jack and Jeremy recap the Brewers vs Cubs game from Monday, August 28 at Wrigley Field. It was WWE night at the park, and in addition to getting another Stone Cold Stunner from Craig Counsell at the bus, the guys dole out their usual sage parenting advice, have a run in with a Sigmund Freud lookalike, and encounter the most baffling custom jersey they’ve seen since, well, the last White Sox game they went to. Rain Delay 3:16 says, “Give this one a listen!”

After some time off, the guys are back with their recap of the Cubs/Royals game. This one is headlined by some pre-game graphing with Dennis (AKA: The Gray Grapher). Dennis is a cut up with the grapher boys down the line, but will he actually help anyone get an auto? We also have some altercations with bees, the Air & Water show is in town, and Jeremy gets crushed by a loud, idiot Royals fan by the bus and Jack suffers the consequences. Also, Jack and Jeremy give some tidbits from the Cubs/White Sox bus hang with some Sox-related run-ins!

Jack and Jeremy travel back to G-Rate Field to see the lowly White Sox taking on the equally lowly Yankees. The guys run into trouble before they even step foot inside the stadium when they have an altercation at the front gate with their tickets getting scanned. They chat it up with some Yankees nerds. And we also get our first loudmouth Sox fan this season. Hear all about the inane things he yelled at the game. Somewhere in there Jeremy also goes on a rant about people touching his phone. Enjoy!
