Kerry rejoins Trout this week and offers his take on life as a Cardinals fan, how to work around eating salad leaves, and how managers are becoming the intermediaries between the clubhouse and the media.

One of the best drafts thus far causes the guys to go to the end of their ropes with creative scouting reports. Kerry is stumped on trivia and offers his take on a Coldplay lyric.

Kerry joins the show as he and Trout share their random thoughts and talk through their actual thoughts on losing the DH. In a combo of the "Today in Baseball History" and "Baseball Trivia" segments, Kerry pitifully loses at trivia multiple times, which is followed by an extended look at each of the ten teams in the NL and AL Central divisions. Then, Kerry connects the dots between Santa's reindeer and Nicki Minaj, and Trout gives a shoutout to the worst song of all time. They finish it off by reminiscing on their favorite childhood video games.

Trout brings his dad on the show for this special episode. They converse about why cold showers are the worst, learn a bit about Tony La Russa, and take a deep dive into the extended coaching career of Trout's dad. He then wins at trivia and shares a cool memory around the final game at RFK for the Washington Senators in 1971. The two then, for the most part, attempt to draft DC baseball moments and share their nostalgia around the game and the meaning of those moments. The show wraps up with a fun Tom Petty story and a quick conversation about Superman.
