Rain Delay Theater

This week, Jack and Jeremy build an All-Cubs/Brewers roster of players who played for both franchises. The guys try to pick one player for each position and it was harder than you'd think - sometimes for good, but mostly for bad reasons. Let's just say, there's a few weak spots in the lineup... The guys also talk about the release of Series 1 of 2022 Topps baseball cards and the contract extensions of Boog Sciambi and Jim Deshaies. Man, we really hope this stupid lockout ends soon...

With the MLB Lockout dragging on with no end in sight and spring training right around the corner, Jack and Jeremy decide to dig into the issues at hand and try to make sense of it all. The guys break down the handful of issues being negotiated right now and try to explain them and give a little perspective. We also hear a recap of the (real) HOF voting and the guys go on many tangents including reminiscing about Greg Oden's infamous bathroom selfie and the possibility of Eric Thames crushing a Japanese man to death with his giant arms.

This week, Jack and Jeremy induct the Worst of Fame class of 2022! New nominees are proposed, two all-time players are selected by the Veteran's Committee, the official ballot is written, and the guys vote for this year's inductees...or maybe no one gets in...? Tune in to see how the guys vote! Also, we hear about a major card pulled by Jeremy and the guys discuss The Innings Festival - a music fest coming to Tempe, Arizona next month! We learn that Jack is NOT AT ALL a fan of live music, but is an explanation given...? Listen for yourself!

Fire up the Zamboni, Jack and Jeremy are heading to the United Center for their first hockey game of the podcast! The guys are treated to a pretty competitive game between the Blackhawks and Avalanche. We also hear about a guy who helped build Guaranteed Rate Field, the guys meet a low rent Joey Votto and some hippies, and we hear another late pod Jeremy story as he recounts his time forgetting his iPod at his seat in Shea Stadium! Will Jack and Jeremy become hockey fans or are they just hosers? You decide on this week's episode!

Rain Delay Theater gets in the Christmas spirit this week as Jack and Jeremy re-write the classic song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with a new baseball-themed version and a RDT twist - warning it gets a little raunchy around the seventh day... See which podcast favorites and whipping boys make the list. Also, this week's #148 guy elicits a very cringeworthy story from Jeremy - enjoy that right at the top of the show! Ho ho ho, Happy Holidays, everyone!

Jack and Jeremy come to you this week with another watch-along recap episode. This time, the guys move to the world of television and, more specifically, 1990s teen melodrama Beverly Hills, 90210. The episode follows Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Steve (Ian Ziering) as they coach a local little league team and deal with bad sportsmanship, a nose-picking slovenly teammate, and a skeezy commissioner/high level wiseguy person who wants to win at all costs. Listen in as Jeremy first schools Jack about 90210 and all the characters and then for their recap of this wacko episode that was certainly one of the more juvenile of the series. Play ball!

Damian Miller "looks like he's no fun to hang out with", that's clear to see, at least if you're past guest Marc Bubblebath. So this week, in honor of the current MLB lockout, Jack and Jeremy propose a pair of baseball personalities and make the other choose which to let in their apartment to hang out and which to lock out! There's some real Sophie's Choices in this one! The guys also run down the laundry list of recent free agent signings and Jack tells a story of a strip club emcee!

Jack and Jeremy gather together to give thanks for various baseball things this week - don't worry, some people still get hurt in the process. The guys also talk about the 1986 Mets 30 For 30, the Kendall Graveman and Harold Ramirez acquisition, and the Wander Franco contract extension. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Jack and Jeremy head to their first off-season event to see the Dynamic Wrestling Alliance Invitational at the Compass Arena in Willowbrook, IL. We see some old friends from the last DWA pre-pandemic event as well as some new oddballs. Highlights include some controversial political comments by Mr. Ricolo the ring announcer, a bag full of tricks from Yabo the evil clown, and a possible wardrobe malfunction. The fun night of indie wrestling concludes in a trip to Denny's with server Paco and a surprise appearance by a very special guest!

This week, Jack and Jeremy recap their 2021 over/under predictions and see how much Jeremy is a homer and Jack is proud of his Brewers predictions. Plus, the guys preview next week's big live event recap episode!
