"In lieu of flowers, please download Greg Cote's podcast."

The Phillies' season ended in an instant, and in one of the worst ways possible, but Dan's more focused on the Intentional Walk of Shohei Ohtani. Also, Greg declined to come into work today, Roy may have violated the NHL Press Box "No Jersey" Policy, and Jeremy is paying off his punishment from The Bucket as the viral Arizona Cardinals fan with face paint from Thursday Night Football and it's definitely not racist and I legitimately have no idea why anyone would say it is and they should probably just shut the f*** up and leave Jeremy alone.

Today's cast: Dan, Chris, Billy, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony.
