Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) and host Thomas Emerick go to OC in '02 for one of the most astonishing rallies in MLB postseason history. And they're buying into The Ralley Monkey. Levin represents California's 49th Congressional district spanning from southern Orange County to northern San Diego County. The vehicle for the episode is Game 6 of the 2002 World Series between the Anaheim Angels and San Francisco Giants, which also allows for traveling backwards and forwards through time. Still trying to understand how those Giants teams with Barry Bonds didn't get a World Series, but it makes sense how those Angels teams could be so dangerous once those bats heat up.
A few of the topics covered while revisiting the Angels 6, Giants 5 finish in Game 6 of the 2002 World Series:

Rep. Joe Courtney (CT-02) and host Thomas Emerick revisit the UConn-Duke '99 national title shocker where Khalid El-Amin, Richard Hamilton (Final Four Most Outstanding Player), and Ricky Moore came up huge in the second half. They also discuss how the bricks were laid for a powerhouse in Storrs, Conn., home of UConn Huskies basketball and part of Connecticut's 2nd Congressional district that Congressman Courtney represents spanning the central to eastern parts of the state. The vehicle for the episode is the 1999 NCAA tournament men's basketball final between the Connecticut Huskies and Duke Blue Devils, which also allows for traveling backwards and forwards through time.
A few of the topics covered while revisiting the UConn 77, Duke 74 finish in the '99 final:

Nick Corasaniti (The New York Times) and host Thomas Emerick traverse from Asbury Park to the Meadowlands — and through time — to revisit Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2003 The Rising Tour shows at Giants Stadium. They also explore how the Meadowlands and the Stone Pony became home fields for Bruce.
The conversation maps out the geography of fandom across the Garden State and tri-state region: where Giants fans give way to Jets and Eagles territory, and where Springsteen’s following overlaps or competes with Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, and Sinatra. But we will be very careful about going too deep on Bruce Springsteen vs. Billy Joel in the tri-state. These two millennial Italians hailing from NJ and NY will however reminisce on favorite Giants memories from the old venue, and Week 17 against the Pats in '07 definitely makes the list. Unfortunately for the Jets, Chad Pennington got injured the same week Bruce played and it basically ended their season before it started. One of the AFC betting market favorites that year. That team is just cursed around Labor Day. Also kind of tough for the brand they had to play home games at a place called Giants Stadium for decades.
Nick and Thomas also share favorite moments from concerts and games at Giants Stadium, compare the Meadowlands experience to today’s MetLife Stadium, and revisit Bruce’s role in sending off Giants Stadium before its closure, along with basking in the glow of total New Jersey cultural dominance when Springsteen played the Super Bowl halftime show that year.

Together, they explore how the Meadowlands and the Stone Pony became home fields for Bruce — and how those venues reflect the broader culture of New Jersey music and sports.
The conversation maps out the geography of fandom across the Garden State and tri-state region: where Giants fans give way to Jets and Eagles territory, and where Springsteen’s following overlaps or competes with Bon Jovi, Billy Joel, and Sinatra. It’s a look at how those boundaries mirror the rivalries that define both music and sports. But we will be very careful about going too deep on Bruce Springsteen vs. Billy Joel in the tri-state.

Colm Kelly (RotoViz Radio) and host Thomas Emerick revisit the instant classic that kicked off the 2018 NFL season: Bears at Packers on Sunday Night Football. Jordan Howard sees five targets. Aaron Rodgers gets carted off. Khalil Mack marauds through the Packers backfield in his Bears debut. Rodgers returns as the Packers rally.
Though this is one story of Bears disappointment against Green Bay that carries a silver lining: Chicago actually won the NFC North that year! One of the great all-time Week 1 results that contradict how the season went down for both teams.
Episode threads from Green Bay Packers 24, Chicago Bears 23 in Week 1 of 2018:

Ray Delahanty (CityNerd) and host Thomas Emerick take the MAX down to Rose Quarter for Dame Time. The transportation and urbanism creator with PacNW roots relives standing in the arena for Damian Lillard's iconic shot to clinch the Portland Trailblazers' series victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder, formerly known as the Seattle Supersonics.
We dive deep on that shot, but also talk cities, fandom, and basketball in the broader Pacific Northwest.
Ray shares what it was like to be a post-Sonics Seattle basketball fan during the 2010s, including that weird emotional purgatory of watching the Thunder win a title. We look back at the 80s and 90s golden age of Pacific Northwest hoops, the dry years that followed, and what it was like to watch peak Lillard era in person.
We close with an ode to Dame’s improbable run to the 2019 West Finals, dragging that roster to heights nobody expected. And much more on CityNerd's third Remember That Game appearance.

Eric Michael Garcia, Washington Bureau Chief for The Independent (Archive) and author of We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation, came of age in San Antonio as Tim Duncan teamed up with David Robinson and Sean Elliott helped them avoid the fate of many snakebitten teams out west in the '90s.

Liam Kerr (The Welcome Party) joins host Thomas Emerick for some early-aughts Boston angst — and rebirth. It’s October 2004. The Red Sox are down 0-2 in the ALCS. Game 3 at Fenway turns into a historic beating—and somehow, the start of everything. We talk baseball, politics, and comebacks from the edge.

Dhaaruni Sreenivas (@Dhaaruni) and host Thomas Emerick time travel for breakfast and eventually nightcap at Wimbledon in 2008 for the nearly seven-hours of drama between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the men's singles final. Dhaaruni and Thomas reflect on a seismic summer for sports, politics, and the culture — and perhaps the greatest tournament final in the history of tennis.
