Rain Delay Theater

The 2022 season is over and Jack and Jeremy bring you the results of their over/under picks for the year. The guys also recap the World Series and rag on Dusty Baker some more and Jeremy tell a story about getting rear ended by a southsider!

With the 2022 World Series upon us, Jack and Jeremy take a look at the rosters for the Phillies and Astros and discuss the players, coaches, and front office members who have a connection to the Cubs and Brewers, in order to find some kind of rooting interest in this year's match up.

Jack and Jeremy run down an eventful year autograph hunting at Wrigley Field in their first annual Bus Awards! If you missed any of the recaps from the guys' various bus hangs, this is a great place to catch the highlights and unforgettable moments from this past season. We revisit some incomprehensible freaks, some cringeworthy moments, and some autograph victories along the way. The guys also ta...

...And we're back for part 2, our last in-person game of the 2022 season to see the Cubs take on the Reds in Wrigleyville. Jeremy meets and alienates a member of the 2016 World Series Champs, Jack is cornered by a weird guy who wants to see him dance, and the guys find themselves sitting behind lookalike of Making A Murderer's Steven Avery. The last bus hang accomplishes a mission of a Reds coach...

In part one of a two part episode to close out the regular season, Jack and Jeremy bring you a recap of the Cubs/Phillies game. The guys talk further about the legend of Cocky Hayden Wesneski, idiots standing and looking at their phone, and a near fight between Jeremy and a drunk Cubs fan for sarcastically yelling a pro-Milwaukee jeer at the Phillies. At the bus, the guys have a scoop about an ang...

Dong...dong...dong...(cue Undertaker's theme music)...for whom the bell tolls...well, in this case, it's the Chicago White Sox. Jack and Jeremy head to G-Rate Field to see perhaps the last gasp of the 2022 Southside squad as they take on the first place Cleveland Guardians. The guys are accompanied by Marc Bubblebath tonight and witness, among other things, a disrespectful dude who drops the game...

The guys attend back-to-back Cubs/Rockies games complete with full bus hangs and graphing mayhem! The guys encounter a few Wrigley Field knuckleheads, but the talk of the town is autos, autos, autos! The guys experience one of the more successful bus hang/auto hunts to date, including a beloved former Cub-turned-Rockie, can you guess who?!? The guys are snubbed hardcore by a dazed Dave Magadan, Je...

Another team off the list as Jack and Jeremy travel to Wrigley Field for a Friday afternoon Cubs/Giants game. The guys sit in the LF corner on their own island...until a middle-aged guy who's predicting homers and shooting his shot with the ladies appears. After the floodgates open, the guys are subjected to a group of 4 dad-vibe dorks and two people who hate fast fashion and don't know about the...

The guys are back on the Southside to see the lowly (and La Russa-less) White Sox take on the even lowlier KC Royals. We meet a food-sharing group of Gio Gonzalezes, the guys encounter two unhappy men on the CTA platform, and we hear about the new food just introduced by the White Sox...in August. Plus, another big moment for the podcast - Jeremy takes a nasty spill but gets his first foul ball!!!...

It’s a big Cubs/Cardinals matchup this week for the podcast, featuring Albert Pujols’ last series in Wrigley Field. Pujols hits HR no. 693 and Jordan Montgomery throws a Maddux, but those aren’t the only highlights. The guys sit behind a group of four unlucky luchadores, suffer through an obnoxious content creator’s first pitch, and get saddled next to a coughing Aussie. The bus also brings a rauc...

The Juan Soto-less Washington Nationals come to town and the podcast is there to cover them for the first time! Darth Vader, Joel Murray, and an Andrelton Simmons fan were some of the dignitaries in attendance tonight. But, as is the trend, the bus trip was the story of the night. The guys befriend a young auto seeker dubbed "Doogie Grapher" and are quite confused about his age and his crusty base...

It's Lollapalooza weekend in Chicago and Jack and Jeremy (foolishly?) head to the southside to see the White Sox take on the Oakland A's. G-Rate Field throws a myriad of oddballs at the guys this week and we hear about bad anthem singers, vaping galore, and Baby Eddie Vedder?!? Jeremy gets flack multiple times for wearing an A's hat and Jack gets his view blocked by a couple of backwards hat-weari...

This week, Jack and Jeremy kick off the pod by talking about the damning video of a grown ass man shoving a little kid for an autograph at the All-Star game last week. The guys move on to talk about the draft and briefly about the game itself. 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. The guys find themselves sitting among a work outing of twenty-somethings who might work for a local sports media company yet behave as if they've never been to or watched an actual sporting event. 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! Jack and Jeremy experience one of the dumber Wrigley Field crowds they’ve had for the podcast including a boisterous frat boy, two dufuses who sit in their seats for literally two minutes, and a pair of annoying girls who did it all for the ‘gram. 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! Then it was running the gauntlet to get a Eloy Jimenez/Luis Robert bobblehead! A lot of excitement even befo...

Jack and Jeremy return to live game action this week to see the Cubs take on the San Diego Padres. It was a sweltering night at the park and there were an unusual amount of oddballs in the stands for a Cubs game. Meet some new favorites like Abe Drinkin' (AKA Yankee Doodle Dandy), Big K, and Jennifer Garner?!? Jeremy talks about his run in with Alfonso Soriano, Jack is annoyed on multiple levels b...

Jack and Jeremy reconvene after Jeremy's trip to Scotland to check-in about the trip and former baseball player sighting at the Newark airport, the state of the Cubs and the Sox, and how long Tony LaRussa has as manager on the southside.

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! Check out the recap of Jack and Jeremy's autograph seeking and which players, new and old, they had success with! Then it's onto a local Wrigleyville bar, where the guys interacted with some surly Cardi...

Jack and Jeremy are back with yet another raucous White Sox game…but this time, there’s a big Rain Delay Theater moment for one of the guys - Jack got a foul ball! It happened in the top of the 9th inning, but the guys discuss it right up top of the recap, so be sure to tune in for that. Aside from the major triumph of the night, the boys dealt with the usual melange of freaks, goofballs, filth mo...

In honor of episode 162 of the podcast, Jack and Jeremy go back in recent history to look at which guys played 162 games (or more) in a season. Some expected names, some surprises, and some guys who played 164 games...? We get a little bonus history lesson about baseball's old rules about tie games!

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 long-awaited 2022 Over/Under episode is finally upon us! Hear Jack and Jeremy's over/under predictions about the Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, and more! How much faith do the guys have in Seiya Suzuki, Wander Franco, and Johnny Cueto? Tune in to find out! We also hear the hosts take on Angel Hernandez, Joc Pederson addressing a heckler in Milwaukee, and Jeremy finds a 1990 White Sox ticket stub, f...

Jack and Jeremy are back at Wrigley to see the Cubs take on the Wander-less Tampa Bay Rays. The guys are challenged by various music-loving, random-yelling fans around them until one unruly spectator burns a hole right through Jack's soul! We also meet a true crusty baseball freak out by the Rays' charter bus! This ep also features some Hendricks hate, some Hermosillo love, and two Javy Guerras???...
