    Becoming A Failson with Justin Halpern

    Our good buddy Justin Halpern (of Harley Quinn and Abbott Elementary fame) takes some time away from his luxury box to return to the show for a World Series preview. The ALCS & NLCS were packed with highlights: clutch double-plays, out-of-the-park homers, and the Best Player Of All Time™. Can the World Series itself hope to match, or have the Dodgers sucked all of the fun out of baseball? We also set off Justin’s trap card and get him ranting about another baseball juggernaut: the Savannah Bananas. And then we’ll backflip into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

    Doing Less With Less with Andy Behrens and Chris Harris

    The NFL is back in full swing, and so our good buddy Andy Behrens returns to the pod along with his cohort Chris Harris. We’re looking at analytics, and how fantasy football butts up against football reality. When does the math go too far? Is it even possible to pick a team so safe they’re immune to a single dude tripping and falling? We’ll check in with Andy’s Bears, Chris’s Pats, and Roth’s Giants, and a few other stand-out teams from this week’s matchups (even some college teams), and then dive into the Funbag to answer real questions from listeners.
