Timmy Takes Kylie to the Ballgame, Women Track Stars Get their Purse, and Frat Bros Run the Giants

Listen Later

Thursday night was tough for the city of Brotherly love. The Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers fell to their foes. Giants rookies Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart – aka the frat bros running the Giants – showed Jalen Hurts and friends who’s boss. Meanwhile, we learned the solution to the so-called male loneliness epidemic: gather hundreds of male sports fans, let them take their shirts off, and swing in unison. Turns out camaraderie might just be the secret sauce.

In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: 

  • Which Olympian recognized us at ATHLOS, the women’s only track-and-field invitational (yes, this is a brag)
    • Whether Baker Mayfield is Him, aka: MVP
      • Why Phoenix Mercury fans actually stayed after the WNBA Finals (hint: it has nothing to do with good sportsmanship
        • Our favorite Send Its of the week, including the Colts cheerleaders winning our hearts, the Parent Trap nostalgia on DWTS, and the star-studded Lakers pre-season hype video
