Listen Now

For the first time in 2023, Jack and Jeremy take in a White Sox game together. This was a weekday afternoon tilt between the Southsiders and the Cleveland Guardians - talk about low profile. Will there be enough weirdos in the stands for the guys to talk about? Will Jack and Jeremy be able to get any autos inside the stadium? Will the White Sox find a way to sadly lose this game? We know the answer to at least two of those...but still tune in to find out for yourself!

Jack and Jeremy bring you a minisode in this latest installment of the pod. The guys spend two days graphing the Cardinals bus and the Cubs parking lot during their series at Wrigley Field on May 8th and 9th. Jeremy is on full Willson Contreras watch and Jack is trying to tie up some loose ends. Who do the guys get? Is it someone from their over/under predictions? Tune in to find out! And watch for a new full-length episode dropping later this week!

This week, the guys head to Wrigley to see the major league debut of Matt Mervis and the home debut of Miguel Amaya! They talk about how the people in front of them stood up during both of their first ABs, yay! The guys also have some wild graphing experiences over a two day period, including the return of Josh and friends, an ultimate Jazz Chisholm fake out, and getting the autograph of a member of the 2016 World Champion Cubs team! Tune into this jam-packed episode that covers the 5/5 game and the bus hang on 5/6! Autos and weirdos galore!

Jack and Jeremy bring you an episode of odds and ends, highlighted by two Padres bus hangs on 4/25 and 4/26. The guys encounter a crazy barricade jumper, the loudmouth Padres fan from last year, and an off-putting former Cardinals manager. Jeremy also has a solo Cubs parking lot experience and a couple brutal close calls and snubs. Finally, the guys talk about their back-to-back separate first White Sox games of the year and give some updates about the sidewalk beer sellers and some food favorites. We also hear some predictions about the guys' upcoming Cubs/Marlins game this week.

What is this? A baseball gameplay heavy episode? Well, when you almost see a perfect game, I guess you have to talk about it. Jack and Jeremy come at you this week to recap the near-perfect performance by Drew Smyly vs. the LA Dodgers - we talk at length about the game and the atmosphere up top! But then we also manage to find time to flame a fan, this time one who donned a sad floppy hat. And as good as the game was, the Dodgers bus was just as bad. Tune in for hear it all!

The over/under predictions are in for the 2023 season and Jack and Jeremy are here to bring them all to you this week! Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, and autograph over/unders are discussed. Miles Mastrobuoni, Eric Hosmer, bus regulars, and "instant ink" are just a few of the topics featured in our predictions, tune in and follow along all season!

We have a jam-packed deluxe episode this week as the guys attend the Cubs vs. Rangers game at Wrigley Field, have some mishaps at the bus, and then return a few days later for the Mariners bus. We have a couple mistaken identity autos, an embarrassing attempt by Jeremy to talk to a player, and The Fulmer Promise. We also see a pained Scott Servais, a futuristic Jarred Kelenic, and the man himself, J-Rod, Julio Rodriguez signs at the bus...but listen to find out who gets him and who doesn't! There's quite a lot this week, so listen at your own speed.

The 2023 season has begun and we are back at the ballpark in time for David Ross to gift Jack a Brewers victory for his birthday. The guys give their thoughts on the term “Federal Landmark”, we meet a Navy man who is repping the westside, and Jeremy has to ask a guy to move out of his view of home plate. After the game, the guys graph at the notoriously stingy Brewers bus - tune in to see if they were able to break through to Craig Counsell and co. Finally, we wrap up at the Cubs parking lot with a trio of unsupervised little kids flagging down Cubs players for autos and the guys have a weird and funny interaction with them. Baseball is back, baby!!! (Said in full George Costanza voice!)

With the NCAA Tournament underway, Jack and Jeremy discuss the best baseball players to come from each team in the Sweet 16. And while Jack was immersed in college basketball, Jeremy runs down an exciting WBC tournament thus far!

This week, Jack and Jeremy are talking WBC running down each country and picking a famous "mascot" to represent each country's team. These are people/celebrities (or objects?) that the guys feel could represent each country at the WBC games. Are there some offensive picks? Maybe. Are there lots of personal anecdotes including a story of how Jeremy lived across the hallway from an Oscar winner? You better believe it!

It’s that time of year again as the annual Non-Roster Invitee episode is upon us for 2023! Jack and Jeremy run down the list of notable invitees to spring training this year, Jeremy drops some bad tv and movie puns, an old story about Danny Duffy is rehashed, and we find out Jack is not a fan of the Coen Brothers (what???). All this and more as the countdown to the 2023 season continues!

This week, we move a little closer to baseball with the release of the new 2023 Topps baseball cards! Series 1 from Topps is out and Jack and Jeremy each rip a hobby box of their own and share their hits. What will the card collecting vet pull from his box? What will the fledgling pack ripper score in his? Will there be jubilation? Anger? Both? Tune in to find out as the Rain Delay boys sling some baseball cards in this week’s ep!

Take a trip back this year to the Worst of Fame as Jack and Jeremy nominate a new class of candidates for 2023. 10 new candidates are discussed plus two ballot holdovers from last year, Chris Capuano and Bill Ripken. Tune in and find out who, if anyone, gets elected to the prestigious Worst of Fame for this year! And stay tuned as Jeremy tells a story of conducting a business transaction with a current Cubs player!

Jack and Jeremy return to the Wintrust Arena to see some Big East basketball as No. 8 ranked Xavier takes on DePaul. Jack was going to see a thriving Big East team trounce all over the lowly Blue Demons and Jeremy wanted to see an upset...and one of them left happy. The guys talk about the Wintrust Arena, the thrill of a close basketball game, and the bonehead Xavier fans sitting around them.

In a special bonus episode, Jeremy checks in solo to recap THE REST of the Cubs Convention weekend, telling us about his interactions with all the players Saturday and Sunday. For those of you who wanted MORE Cubs Convention tales, here you go!

Here it is, the super-sized recap of the 2023 Cubs Convention! The day starts off with Jack getting super lost and Jeremy jumping right into autograph hunting. The guys meet the polarizing and mostly skeezy Sweatpants Guy, end up in mystery lines and can't find out what they lead to, and Jack finally experiences the walking malapropism that is Cole Wright. Jeremy hunts autos outside in the cold while Jack retreats indoors. Jeremy runs into a long lost autograph opportunity from his past, Jon Lieber has a beer, Jack gets squeezed out of a Ray Burris autograph, and so much much more! Break it up into multiple sittings, but make sure to tune into all the highlights from Day 1 of the Cubs Convention as well as Jeremy's highlights from the rest of the weekend.

We hope you're hungry because this week Jack, Jeremy, and special returning guest Marc Bubblebath visit northside burger restaurant Big League Burgers on Irving Park Road in Chicago.
