Jack and Jeremy return to the Wintrust Arena to see some Big East basketball as No. 8 ranked Xavier takes on DePaul. Jack was going to see a thriving Big East team trounce all over the lowly Blue Demons and Jeremy wanted to see an upset...and one of them left happy. The guys talk about the Wintrust Arena, the thrill of a close basketball game, and the bonehead Xavier fans sitting around them.

In a special bonus episode, Jeremy checks in solo to recap THE REST of the Cubs Convention weekend, telling us about his interactions with all the players Saturday and Sunday. For those of you who wanted MORE Cubs Convention tales, here you go!

Here it is, the super-sized recap of the 2023 Cubs Convention! The day starts off with Jack getting super lost and Jeremy jumping right into autograph hunting. The guys meet the polarizing and mostly skeezy Sweatpants Guy, end up in mystery lines and can't find out what they lead to, and Jack finally experiences the walking malapropism that is Cole Wright. Jeremy hunts autos outside in the cold while Jack retreats indoors. Jeremy runs into a long lost autograph opportunity from his past, Jon Lieber has a beer, Jack gets squeezed out of a Ray Burris autograph, and so much much more! Break it up into multiple sittings, but make sure to tune into all the highlights from Day 1 of the Cubs Convention as well as Jeremy's highlights from the rest of the weekend.

Jack and Jeremy come at you this week with a quick minsode to preview their trip to the 2023 Cubs Convention. The guys discuss the guestlist, who they want to see the most, and a prediction on total autographs. Be sure to tune in next episode for a full recap of all the goings-on!

Jack and Jeremy close out 2022 by talking about some guys who had a good year, some guys who had a bad year, and what 2023 may hold for some others. Enjoy this week's look back at 2022 and thank you for listening and supporting this year!

We hope you're hungry because this week Jack, Jeremy, and special returning guest Marc Bubblebath visit northside burger restaurant Big League Burgers on Irving Park Road in Chicago.

This week, Jack and Jeremy hit up Baseball Reference and play a little "Guess The Guy Based on Similarity Score" game - and you can play at home! Before that, the guys discuss the recent Contemporary Baseball Era Committee vote as well.

Jack and Jeremy head to Rosemont, IL for the Chicago Sports Spectacular trading card convention. Along the way, the guys encounter oddball vendors, Jack inadvertently steals some merchandise, and Jeremy meets Joe Maddon. There are quite frankly too many weirdos to talk about from the convention but the guys try to hit as many as they can. Also, in honor of episode #182, the guys dedicate the episode to one special Blink-182 fan! Tune in to find out who!

The 2022 season is over and Jack and Jeremy bring you the results of their over/under picks for the year. The guys also recap the World Series and rag on Dusty Baker some more and Jeremy tell a story about getting rear ended by a southsider!
