The Dogs of WAR

Ah, Opening Week. Snow on the ground, Jack Frost nipping at your nose, a feeling of Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Men. Gather 'round the Yule Log as we riff for an hour or so about the first couple days of the regular season, and other nonsense (mostly other nonsense).    Listen to this pod if you want to hear us talk about Opening Day Carols, Matt Damon Doo-Doo Movies, The Immaculate Sports Conception, Matt Duffy Beef, Luthorian Hatred, Mariners Schadenfreude, Wags Above Replacement,...

In Case Of Emergency, Barry Bonds

March 21, 2016 12:00 - 1 hour - 31.2 MB

This episode of TBS goes out to all you hep cats out there in Podcast Land. Aww yeah, you know who you are. We're riding this show express to Chillsville daddy-o, with some hot goofs about Pete Rose and Donald Trump, Goose Gossage v. Bryce Harper, and Barry Bonds all up in the mix. And a 1, and a 2...   Listen to this pod if you want to hear us talk about Ballplayer Name Retractions, The Cliff Calhoun Trio, Veterate vs. Inveterate Gambling, The Best Pete Rose There Is, Altered World Histor...

Eating The Burrito Sideways

March 15, 2016 14:00 - 1 hour - 36.4 MB

Hey 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 MB

We'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. We discuss fellow Best Shape of His Lifer Pablo Sandoval, baseball in London, Don Mattingly's new rules, and we put another US city on blast! Who will be next, you ask? Don't try anything funny, Kalamazoo.    Listen to this pod if you want to hear us talk about Funyun Diets, The "Reverse Truman", Philadelphia Fan Ballistics, Olympic Proms, Vuvuzela Survival Tips, Googl...

Steroid Enthusiasm

February 19, 2016 15:00 - 1 hour - 29.2 MB

Oh boy did we ever record a really great episode for you! But Podcast Krampus struck once more in the form of a new call recorder and it is forever lost to time and space, so you get this one instead. We talk Jennry Mejia's historic lifetime ban and see where the worlds of baseball and pro wrestling intersect.  Listen to this pod if you want to hear us talk about Podcast Enhancing Drugs, Weekend At Peyton's, Foodservice Dabbing, The Many Catchphrases of Andre the Giant, Air Bud's Secret Ide...

TBS Review: Homer At The Bat

February 10, 2016 13:00 - 1 hour - 31.3 MB

Hello 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. We also talk about our Super Beef, The Confounding Rockies, Air Bud Junkballs...

On Bark Percentage

February 02, 2016 01:57 - 42 minutes - 19.3 MB

We 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. You know what, never mind- we stand by all of it.    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 MB

When 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...

Baby's Day Out 2

January 17, 2016 01:56 - 1 hour - 28.1 MB

Rush Half-Hour

December 17, 2015 17:00 - 35 minutes - 16.4 MB

On 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. Seems like someone should have told them they were wasting the time they didn't have, but meh.  Listen to this episode if you'd like to know more about The Best Baseball Player to Follow on Instagram, What would a Food Truck Named "Even Year Magic Serve?", Belief in Wheelbarrows of Money, The Dread Pirate Rockies and why no one wants to play in Denver, Legends lik...

Bruce Bochy's Secret Stuff

December 10, 2015 06:19 - 1 hour - 34.9 MB

In this week's episode, Jimmy and Matt put their hands on a hot stove. Their moms said not to, but sometimes you just have to let the little dickens make their own mistakes, amirite?  Listen to this pod if you want to hear us talk about Amateur Padcasting, Baseball Hanukkah, Two and A Half Pitchers, squashing beef in Boston, is Zack Greinke John Travolta or Olivia Newton-John in this analogy?, lots of other horrible analogies (we seriously feel bad), Bruce Bochy: Celestial Being, Mark Trumb...
