The Phillies lost the World Series. The Union lost the MLS Cup. And Stretch Four talks about taking L's. Not every loss is created equal, some losers will be remembered more fondly than others, and sometimes wins don't matter as much as people want them to. We also talk about elections, voting, and some key races in the 2022 midterms.

Then, they talk about the firing of Steve Nash and the Brooklyn Nets' apparent courting of Ime Udoka before taking some time to discuss the tragic death of Takeoff and the impact he and Migos had on hip-hop.

We're in the corner, doing a podcast. This week, Keenan and Aaron talk about what kind of training, prep, and trickery it would take for each of them to score a single point in an NBA game.

Then, they get into a debate about which rap verse is known by the most number of people all-time. Finally, they talk about great Philadelphia Phillies teams of the past and present.
