The guys also discuss Sox Fest 2026...

Oh and the guys do actually talk about th...

The World Series is here and since no one is actually rooting for the Dodgers, Jack and Jeremy decide to rank the entire roster from least to most hated.

The season is winding down but one more trip to the southside was in order as the guys were joined by their pal Chris to see the White Sox vs. the Rays. The trio endure a graphing war zone which included the likes of the Gray Grapher, Chris spots a 1st round draft pick, Jeremy sells out for a HOFer, and a whimper of French meows surround the group.

This week, the guys ask for a little extra from Ricky Gutierrez, mistake an Apple TV announcer for a beat reporter, get spilled on, and have another issue with nachos - listen to see which of these acts are attributed to which Rain Delay Theater dude.
