We've got a jammed pack episode of Royals content this week. First in Clearing the Waivers (2:10) we talk about the worst things we've seen over the past couple weeks of Royals baseball. Next we try a new segment called "What Have You Done for Me Lately?" where we highlight a player that has been doing their job and one that has not. (19:27). Then we get into the Shenanigans, kicked off by an old fashioned DFA centered around former Royals Opening Day starting pitchers. (41:19). Finally, we round out the week with a Waiver Wire draft of Random Royals. (54:18)

We didn't forget about our first place Royals, we've got you covered there too. Kitty rejoins us to give some of the main takeaways of the Royals last couple of weeks. We've got a lot of takes about this pitching staff and Josh is absolutely fired up about this team. (1:00:58)

We've seen enough Royals baseball in 2021 and we're ready to overreact! We find something with the rotation, bullpen, and lineup to overreact about to lead off Clearing the Waivers. (1:36) Then we do some more predictions with our "Best of the 3" portion. (28:15)

Kicking off the Shenanigans, Brian brings a DFA question about the AL Central. Can Josh and Kitty get all the answers? (44:45) Finally, we burn some bridges in the Waiver Wire where we draft the "Worst things that friends ask you to do". (56:43)
