    #5 - English Premier League Chaos
    Nov 15 2025
    Rafa and Jackson dive into the wild world of the English Premier League, breaking down surprise standings, rising stars, and the teams they think are overrated, underrated, and ready to take the top spot. From Liverpool’s rollercoaster season to Arsenal’s free-kick magic to Chelsea’s young players stepping up, the guys sort through all the drama with their signature mix of real analysis and total silliness. They also debate sweaty hands, randomly drink seltzer mid-recording, test out some jokes, and somehow end up talking about dinosaurs, frogs, and imaginary flying over stadiums. Along the way they check in on Sunderland’s unexpected rise, Manchester City’s star-powered bounce back, whether Van Dijk is still a brick wall, and which breakout players to watch next year. Plus, Jackson shares news about his final soccer game of the season and the coincidence that he’ll be facing a team called Premier FC right after this Premier League episode. Another hilarious, chaotic, and awesome adventure with the boys.

    #4 - Building Our MLB All-Star Team with Cam
    Nov 10 2025
    Rafa and Jackson are back with their friend Cam to finish building their dream MLB All-Star lineup—one big combined team from across all of baseball. They go position-by-position, arguing their favorites and backing it up with stats, clutch moments, and some hilarious kid logic. Expect lively debates about catcher (Cal Raleigh love!), a tough call at first base, and spirited second-base talk that pits batting vs. fielding value. The trio also unpack key baseball concepts in plain-kid English—what WAR (Wins Above Replacement) actually means, what a DH does, and why “clutch” matters. Outfield sparks fly (Aaron Judge is a lock), Julio Rodríguez gets big props, and left field turns into a puzzle featuring Kyle Schwarber… sometimes DH-ing. On the mound, they shout out ace starters, then land on closers and relievers with a big nod to Edwin Díaz—and crack up over a running “Ed Sheeran on the Dodgers” bit. Highlights Catcher consensus: Cal Raleigh gets the nod for power and impact. First base is crowded; clutch hitting weighs heavily in the debate. Second base showdown: Jazz Chisholm vs. Brendan Donovan (glove vs. bat). Shortstop talk spans stars like Bo Bichette and more. Third base love for José Ramírez. Starting pitchers and shutdown bullpen picks include Edwin Díaz at closer. Outfield locks include Aaron Judge and Julio Rodríguez; left field sparks a DH vs. defense discussion. Teach-and-tell moments: WAR explained; what a DH is; why playing time matters. Players & Names Mentioned (select) Cal Raleigh, Pete Alonso, Jazz Chisholm, Brendan Donovan, Bo Bichette, José Ramírez, Tarik Skubal, Max Fried, Aaron Judge, Julio Rodríguez, Kyle Schwarber, Devin Williams, Edwin Díaz, Byron Buxton, Joe Adell, Trent Grisham, Riley Greene.
