Why Yes, We're Friends

Brendon and Ronnie talk about the Brewers winning the World Series and the end of the baseball season in the top of the show. After that, they get loose and get through a number of sports topics from the WNBA Finals scheduling fiasco to Connor McDavid playing one of the greatest NHL seasons of all time to F1's upcoming weekend in Mexico City. Along the way, the fellas talk about their favorite fast food chicken sandwiches, their favorite Gatorade flavors, and their barometer for good taquerias. Brendon reveals that his moral code is stronger than his appetite, hates it when billionaires argue with millionaires, and manages to say nice things about the Oilers as a Kings fan. Ronnie picked up a very nerdy new skill, likens drinking Celsius energy drinks to smoking American Spirit cigarettes, and marvels at Connor Hellebuyck's pregame eyeball workout.

Brendon and Ronnie got to meet recurring guest Alex Kozina, known better as Kozibear, in person! And they spent a lovely day in San Francisco. To round out the Top of the Show, the two discuss the Kinda Funny Top 100 Games of All Time. The Bottom of the Show is a family-style meal of various sports topics from the early surprises of the NFL and late dramatics of F1, to the championships for the MLB and WNBA. Along the way, the fellas play Mario Kart World at the Nintendo Store, talk about how overused "GOAT" is, and are reminded why they nicknamed F1's Texas track "The Tip of the Spear." Brendon found everyone free samples of unfolded fortune cookies, would have definitely put Tekken 2 on a Top 100 Games of All Time list, and wonders what Jim Breuer's Goatboy character would look like today. Ronnie enjoys driving by himself, spoils the most memorable boss fight from a 28-year-old video game, and thinks the Brewers are being driven by forces much greater than luck.

Brendon and Ronnie have another jam packed week of sports to talk about! In the top of the show, the fellas talk about sports with trophies in their futures; the NLCS and ALCS, the WNBA Finals, and the homestretch for F1. In the bottom of the show, the two ask "What is going on?" with the crazy parity happening in the NFL and then the stale creativity of the WWE's Money In The Bank. Along the way, the fellas remember when the Rays entered the league as the Devil Rays, recall some loved and hated commercials, and admire the NFL for being as competitive as ever. Brendon went to something called "Cosmic Baseball," is all in on the Valkyries, and hates Ciroc vodka. (And maybe Al Green,too.) Ronnie picked the worst time to start keeping score when watching baseball, hopes Angel Reese gets a ring, and thinks its funny that wrestling takes its championship statistics so seriously.

Brendon and Ronnie are running the gamut with this episode! In the top of the show, the two stick with with the playoffs for the WNBA and MLB respectively. In the bottom of the show, they talk about the beginning of the NHL season as the F1 season nears it's end. Along the way, the fellas make some great Bay Area hip hop recommendations, talk about how Blake Snell always looks like he just watched Blake Snell's NLDS Game 2 outing, and take some time to learn about Canadian Thanksgiving. Brendon posits where to find the best food in Las Vegas, coaches confidence, and explains the F1 Sprint Race. Ronnie channels his inner Sydney Sweeney, tries to put his bias aside to analyze the NLCS and beyond, and reveals why he's for one of the Kings' Stanley Cup wins, while being against the other.

Brendon and Ronnie are feeling the rush of so many sports happening at once! In the Top of the Show, the two talk about the Wild Card round of the MLB Playoffs, and transition into the results of the September Basho in Sumo Wrestling. In the Bottom of the Show, they celebrate the return of NHL hockey, discuss Manchester City's 114 guilty charges for financial violations, and then finish strong with results and a preview for F1. Along the way the fellas make a statement about MLB's recent celebration culture, and have a quick discussion about beer.  Brendon delivers bad news about his cat's hip, has a lot of interests to root against in the MLB playoffs, and explains the nuances of F1's tyres. Ronnie is nervous about the Dodgers facing a number of NL teams, thanks video games for his strong understanding of a lot of sports, and remembers when a world-famous Scottish football club was humbled down to playing an exhibition game at an American community college.

Brendon and Ronnie are excited to welcome back Fellow Friend Karina Contreras to talk about the upcoming WNBA Playoffs! Then, in the bottom of the show, the topic switches to hockey jerseys, NHL point totals, and then a heartfelt thanks for the career of Mike Krukow. Along the way, there are discussions about what has happened to the New York Liberty this season, how odd it is to observe a gray basketball court on television, and wishes for the NHL to update the points system to feature 3 points for a win. Brendon asks an unserious question about Flau'jae Johnson, and credits the duo of Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper for how he learned to watch baseball. Ronnie is impressed with the top-to-bottom level of greatness in the WNBA Playoffs, and asks if sportsbooks are serious about their projections for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Brendon and Ronnie are pumped for the upcoming weekends as the Dodgers and Giants rivalry round out the 2026 regular season. In the top of the show, the two do an analysis switcharoo to talk about the injuries and impact players for the other team. The bottom of the show features a "We Got Time" segment that starts with sumo wrestling and ends with alternative curse words. Along the way, the fellas lament how quickly this year is passing, talk about disappointing second halves that change how you feel about the first half, and remember when it seemed like the universe didn't want the Cubs to end the curse in 2016. Brendon suggests a Substack for Ronnie, explains the decorum of pitchers hitting batters, and once sat in the same room as a sitting U.S. President. Ronnie is considering signing up for Fantasy Baseball again, thinks Bryce Eldridge might hit his house with a baseball, and reminds everyone about the Heidi Bowl.

Brendon and Ronnie weigh in on the recent investigations being done by Pablo Torre Finds Out. In short, it's a bad time to be a billionaire sports team owner in Los Angeles right now... Then in the bottom of the show, they check in with F1 and engage in one of the best We Got Time segments yet. Along the way, the fellas have more good news for Angels fans, talk about some of their most satisfying meals, and ask if Tottenham Hotspur are the Dallas Cowboys of English football. Brendon is suspicious other sports teams are engaging in shady financial deals, gets everyone ready for the upcoming Sumo basho tournament, and recalls a wonderful day when he ate two Filipino breakfasts and won big at Blackjack. Ronnie thinks Steve Ballmer is a guy who hates to lose, recalls the sickest burn he ever heard about Texas Instruments calculators, and can't seem to look away whenever the trainwreck that is Batman & Robin is on TV.

Brendon and Ronnie spend the Top of the Show talking about the shocking sale of the Angels to Stan Kroenke and the introduction of the new owners for the San Diego Padres. And in the Bottom of the Show, they run through a series of questions for We Got Time. Along the way, the fellas talk about one of the best promotional giveaways they've ever seen, struggle with the pronunciation of "Kroenke," and cast themselves in a baseball movie of their own fantasies. Brendon gives his opinion on the Giants announcing Tony Vitello returning next season, and looks like a genius with his MLB picks for win projection. Ronnie thinks there's reason for optimism for the Angels fanbase, and doesn't look like a genius with his MLB picks for win projection.

Brendon and Ronnie spend the top of the show gearing up for the upcoming NFL by picking some teams they expect to make their overs in wins. Then it's a wide-ranging "We Got Time!" bottom of the show! Along the way, the fellas pick some other NFL teams they'll keep an eye on, talk about F1 at the halfway point of the season, and reveal some of the personal journeys they wish to take. Brendon is trying not to let his love of the 49ers influence his predictions, determines if his local Little League parents would make boring reality TV, and might have solved the intimidation that comes with planning a ballpark tour. Ronnie has mixed feelings about ESPN beginning to eliminate the sports ticker, once got irrationally angry at one of his favorite soccer players, and is going to root for the Giants... of football!
