Travis McArdle — yes, that Travis — has returned. It is a conversation so winding, so voluminous, so loaded that I was forced to split it into at LEAST two parts. But to really dignify all facets of this "talk," I decided that presenting it as a Trilogy was not just a good idea, but the only option.

THIS is Part I of a three-part series! Subscribe to hear parts II & III later this week!

"If you call yourself a sports fan," and you land on some of Travis' or my commentary, please do not compare it to the fine analysts who talk about this stuff for a living. Please do not take any stats or historical records as absolute fact (although everything spoken here might indeed be true)! We are having some fun here and Travis puts me to the test when it comes to answers about this Chicago Cubs team.

If you're a dad, a parent or just enjoy listening to two lifelong brothers chat each other up — I think you're going to love this episode. Thanks for making the Dan Time podcast possible. I couldn't do it, and quite frankly wouldn't do it without your support.
