  • Jackie Robinson's Importance
    Apr 16 2026

    This week in Major League Baseball, we celebrate Jackie Robinson. He’s our GameChanger of the Week—but truly, he’s the GameChanger of the game. What he did for baseball cannot be overstated, and we’re proud to honor his legacy.

    Both Tim and Jeff moved mountains to bring you this episode. Jeff is still in Disney World with his family, while Tim is covering the Dodgers series in Los Angeles. Despite the time difference, busy schedules, and nonstop activity, they made it happen.

    Who’s the greatest “D” last name pitcher and hitter? Tim makes his case for both. Three Cards in the Bathroom features a very large bird. Jon Kruk makes yet another memorable appearance with one of his best lines. And just how big is Bruce Bochy’s head? We explain.

  • Steve Rushin On Helmet Nachos, Vin Scully and The Masters
    Apr 14 2026

    Steve Rushin, a repeat guest for good reason, joins Tim and Jeff once again. It’s almost nerve-racking to write this episode description given how talented our guest is—but we’ll give it a shot.

    From helmet nachos to helicoptering into The Masters, we somehow managed to cover all the important topics. Rushin and Kurkjian have been friends for years, dating back to playing 2-on-2 with an extremely famous actor known for shooting hoops on the side.

    Rushin also recalls a gift Kurkjian once gave one of his kids—apparently still sitting in the garage to this day. And would it really be a Steve Rushin appearance without some absurd, completely illogical hypotheticals? We’ve got plenty of those too.

    We bring it all—hope you enjoy!

  • Jeff's Baby's Name, Max Muncy Heroics, RIP Phil Garner
    Apr 13 2026

    Jeff is in Disney World? Yep—and because of that, we bring you Team Tim Disney… and it’s perfection. Huge thank you to everyone who sent in their Team Tim Disney submissions—they were absolutely incredible. Well done!

    Plenty of takeaways this episode, including a big game from Max Muncy and the unlikely heroics that got him there. We also say goodbye to one of baseball’s greats, as Tim reflects on the impact Phil Garner had on him and on the game.

    Strikeouts are piling up this season, which means we’ve got ANOTHER Team Tim—did we get lucky or what? If you had a four-strikeout game this year, there’s a good chance you made the team.

    And a special thank you to Catholic University for giving Tim such an amazing day and for the love they’ve shown our family.
