Rain Delay Theater

Jack and Jeremy close out the regular season at Guaranteed Rate Field for a straight doubleheader between the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox...or did they?!? Instead of two games for the price of one, the guys got 3 1/2 innings of unofficial baseball due to the rain! But that doesn't mean there wasn't plenty to talk about! We hear about a near bust of Jeremy for possessing unauthorized propaganda, an absurd conversation overheard in the bathroom about what constitutes an official game, and a very angry lady desperately trying to return a White Sox t-shirt. At the top of the show, we also hear a story about how Jeremy ran into a very infamous person who crossed their path in episode 48! Tune in for that and all the live game hijinks one last time for the 2019 season!

Jack and Jeremy recast some memorable movies and tv shows with baseball players. Which baseball players could fill the roles of Zack Morris, Jack Sparrow and Teen Wolf? And what teammates could take Chris Farley and David Spade's place in Tommy Boy and Black Sheep?Jeremy also tells an interesting story about Jonathan Papelbon and a couple accidentals tweet sent from the wrong account. Enjoy!

Jack and Jeremy check in this week about the current playoff picture and discuss end-of-year awards projections. A baseball heavy discussion for a baseball podcast - a novel idea! Then the guys playback and breakdown a vintage meltdown from Joe Torre as manager of the Atlanta Braves, thanks to former guest Ben (@allusedup2 on twitter). Check out raindelaytheater.com/notes for video of the Torre rant!

Brace yourselves for a very screamy episode this week! Jack and Jeremy return to September baseball at Wrigley Field with all the cheapos coming out for this one. The fun starts with a handful of dopes encountered by the guys on the way to the ballpark. It then continues inside the stadium as Jeremy encounters a group of four who were very unfamiliar with the concept of people passing in front of them to return to their seats (32:55). But the biggie of this ep is Jack and Jeremy's encounter with a duo of real-life Hanson Brothers lookalikes (40:24)! Tune in to hear Jack and Jeremy's biggest rant of the 2019 season by far! The guys were also on Walk-up Watch as Ben Zobrist returned to action for the first time since his leave of absence with the team. Hear the guys' thoughts on his choice to stick with the same walk-up song (27:10)! Plus, the guys have a very special announcement at the top of the show! (5:00). A lot to unpack in this week's episode, so check it out! And be sure to check out instagram.com/raindelaypod/ for a picture of the Hanson Brothers lookalikes!

What does a 4th rate opera singer, the head of the local chapter of the electricians union, and the new Popeye's chicken sandwich all have in common? They all played a part in this week's episode of Rain Delay Theater! That's right, Jack and Jeremy return to Guaranteed Rate Field for live game action! Things get off to a great start as the guys have an odd occurrence while entering through the stadium gates. And from there, it's non- stop action involving morbid overheard discussions, an overzealous aisle crosser who almost stepped on Jeremy's hot dogs, and a curious man who may have left the stadium with the 21 game Stan Makita Blackhawks season ticket package. Did the guys see indie actor Lucas Hedges, CJ Edwards, and the Ace of Cakes himself Chef Duff Goldman? Tune in to find out! Plus, the guys name their very first ever Rain Delay Theater's Player of the Game!

Jack and Jeremy take a look at some of the bad boys of baseball - players who've had run-in's with the law. You'll hear about Ugueth Urbina's machete, Mike Leake's t-shirt collection, and why you should never accept a ride to the airport from Jake Peavy. Plus, a brief rundown of Lenny Dykstra's rap sheet - because if we went in-depth, this would be a ten part episode. And at the top of the episode, the guys recap playing baseball for Jeremy's bachelor party and also share their thoughts on 2019's Players Weekend. Also make sure to check raindelaytheater.com/notes for links to all of these stories!

Jack and Jeremy run down a list of Jekyll and Hyde players for the Brewers and Cubs, respectively - players who were either good before coming to the team and stunk -or- left the team and got really good. It's a sad list full of regret and missed opportunity - perfect for the Rain Delay Theater boys! Enjoy? Highlights this week include Jack stumping Johnny Estrada with an autograph request, Jeremy's story about harassing Joe Buck at a pro-am golf tournament, and the reason why everyone in Chicago hated LaTroy Hawkins.

Jack and Jeremy go indie this week and head to Rosemont, IL to see the independent baseball matchup of the Chicago Dogs vs. the St. Paul Saints. This was both the guys' first outing to this ballpark and Impact Field did not disappoint. Hear about all the on-field antics, including a brutal nut shots, an 8-legged dog race with a wobbly little kid, and an inappropriate move on a young woman by the mustard-based mascot of the Chicago Dogs. The guys also got to see an installment in the Carlos Zambrano comeback attempt. Tune into this week's ep to hear how (far) it went!

Jack and Jeremy are back to the southside to see the White Sox take on the lowly Miami Marlins. Why is this game being played? Rain Delay Theater was on the scene to investigate. In an odd cross section of wayward wandering fans, Jack and Jeremy share encounters from the random fans that briefly entered and exited their section and baseball experience. The guys tell about a completely lost family of four, get an eerie message from a classic White Sox guy about the horrors of war, and are forced to dodge a screaming foul ball coming right at them! We also hear about a harrowing scarfing of a jumbo polish sausage, a group of guys learning the Macarena, and a crazy woman on the train home. Tune in to hear it all now!

This week, Jack and Jeremy get together to recount some of their best and worst little league memories. Hear about the duo's Proudest Moment, Best Hit, MLB star they tried to emulate, Wackiest Teammate, and more! How many highlights, how many lowlights? Tune in to find out! Before that, we are treated to Jeremy's thoughts (read: rant) about the heat Mai Tai Guy is getting from Cubs fans for "stealing" a home run ball from a couple of kids. NSFW warning on that one, folks! Enjoy!
