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. And at the bus, the guys have weird interactions with an umpire and another Nats coach. Fun times!
