Then we get a full recap of the infamous Jose Canseco Reddit AMA from several years ago and a breakdown of the ridiculous 1989 Jose Canseco Baseball Camp vi...

For the second time this season, the guys catch some red hot Baltimore Orioles action, this time at Wrigley Field.

Other highlights include Jack's gripes with the Catalina Club and Jeremy rants again ab...

Strap in and hold on tight for an extra long episode this week!

Then out at the bus, the guys get some very unexpected autographs which may include a gu...

First Sox daygame! First bobblehead game! First time seeing the Orioles! NOT the first time a fan was ejected at a White Sox game! Join Jack and Jeremy this week as they recap a raucous-enough day White Sox game on the southside. The guys drive to the stadium and actually find free parking!

Jack and Jeremy return to live game action this week to see the Cubs take on the San Diego Padres.

Inspired by Madison Bumgarner and Clayton Kershaw, Jack and Jeremy come back at you this week to give you their list of guys who wouldn't sweet spot, aka guys who wouldn't autograph a baseball on the sweet spot for a fan. Is this just an episode where we list a bunch of guys we think are jerks? Maybe, but then again which episode of Rain Delay Theater isn't? Also, we're all treated to an angry ran...

The guys are back at Wrigley to see the Cubs take on Zac Gallen and the Arizona Diamondbacks this week. The game turned out to me pretty tame but the scene out by the Dbacks team bus was happening!

The words "a crazy one" and "White Sox game" have become synonymous over the course of this podcast but this week the guys have quite the crazy White Sox game recap episode. There's lots of dumb, lewd, and sexually-charged comments screamed around Jack and Jeremy this week, but they don't stand up to the Richard and Joe Show that took place behind the guys at the game. An unsuspecting Angels fan,...

The first game of the year is here for the Rain Delay boys! Jack and Jeremy head to Wrigley Field for a clash of division rivals and the tension wasn't only on the field!

The guys deal with a mind boggling ticket debacle at the box office, experience some bobblehead rigamarole, and have a c...

This week, Jack and Jeremy build an All-Cubs/Brewers roster of players who played for both franchises. The guys try to pick one player for each position and it was harder than you'd think - sometimes for good, but mostly for bad reasons. Let's just say, there's a few weak spots in the lineup... The guys also talk about the release of Series 1 of 2022 Topps baseball cards and the contract extension...

With the MLB Lockout dragging on with no end in sight and spring training right around the corner, Jack and Jeremy decide to dig into the issues at hand and try to make sense of it all.

Jack and Jeremy come to you this week with another watch-along recap episode. This time, the guys move to the world of television and, more specifically, 1990s teen melodrama Beverly Hills, 90210. The episode follows Brandon (Jason Priestley) and Steve (Ian Ziering) as they coach a local little league team and deal with bad sportsmanship, a nose-picking slovenly teammate, and a skeezy commissioner...
