Eating The Burrito Sideways
March 15, 2016 14:00 - 1 hour - 36.4 MBHey there Nation! We would have had this very special 2016 season preview episode of TBS up earlier, but we couldn't settle on what to call the podcasting super-group created when Jimmy and Matt combined forces with Ryan McEachern of the McEachern Podcast Network! We never did decide- Audioslave I think? We also provide terrible gambling advice which you shouldn't follow.* Listen to this pod if you want to hear us talk about Chris Russo Impressions, Stamp Sound Effects, Advanced Mustach...
Some Men Want To Watch The World Bunt
February 29, 2016 15:00 - 1 hour - 27.8 MBWe're feeling pretty good TBS Nation. I think it's safe to say we reported to this episode in the Best Shape Of Our Lives.

TBS Review: Homer At The Bat
February 10, 2016 13:00 - 1 hour - 31.3 MBHello Nation! This podcast is late, that is to say it's later than we'd like. Also Matt's audio sounds like he was recording in a snowstorm- rest assured, it's like 50 degrees here. Apologies for both, Podcast Krampus strikes again! In this episode we review/geek out over the Season 3 Simpsons episode "Homer At The Bat". We cover the episode's history, the player guest stars, and why Jose Canseco is THE WORST.

On Bark Percentage
February 02, 2016 01:57 - 42 minutes - 19.3 MBWe apologize in advance for this shortened one, Nation- not for the horrible Sarah Palin/Haray Caray impressions at the top, but because the debate over whether or not the NL should adopt the Designated Hitter devolved into Matt losing it over Air Bud goofs.

Listen to this pod if you want to hear us talk about Palin-tology, Matt and Jimmy: The Baseball's Red Sons, The NL (Stoning) Lottery, DH Truthers, Greenpeace Press Gangs, Squiggly Ba...
Staring Into The Void
January 22, 2016 15:00 - 1 hour - 28.4 MBWhen we committed to doing the pod weekly through the off-season, we have to admit we were worried we wouldn't have enough to talk about. Then the MLB went to court over TV contract rights and that MAKES US ANGRY. We also discuss the notion of automated strike zones and what that means for humanity's desperate struggle against our robot overlords. And Matt apologizes for his plosives- his pop filter fell off. Womp womp. Listen to this pod if you want to hear us talk about Withdrawal Spiders...

Rush Half-Hour
December 17, 2015 17:00 - 35 minutes - 16.4 MBOn this week's abbreviated episode, Matt and Jimmy spend a lot of their precious time telling you they don't have a lot of time.
