Code and Jim talk about baseball, football, and whatever else we feel like talking about.
Code and Jim spent the weekend together watching Michigan Baseball in person. They give a recap of their weekend which included testy 1 on 1 basketball games, proving once and for all who the better basketball player is. Casinos, golf and lots of baseball watching also involved. They give a recap of how Michigan Baseball looked along with some new standout players. The Astros saga continues as media entices everyone including Lebron to provide comments on the situation, and whoever keeps speaking for the Astros seems to keep pissing people off. Shocker.
Jim is combative towards Code, and Code is combative towards everything. A quick recap of the Super Bowl and Code's winning pick. Jim had an oopsy last week that Code didn't catch. Jim attended the Waste Management Phoenix Open for five straight days, and we're becoming a golf podcast? The guys break down the Mookie Betts trade issues and propose what they think might actually be going on with the last minute stall by the Red Sox. Finally, Code breaks down the NBA trade deadline by talking about a lot of Nuggets players Jim's never heard of.

A quick discussion about some of the best hitters of all time turns into us telling the story of how Ted Williams, one of the greatest Americans to ever live, became cryogenically preserved after he passed away in Jim's hometown. What did Zion's debut mean, the next Lebron or just a supreme athlete? We make a pod-buck bet on the Pro Bowl with an alternate line, Antonio Brown made the news again, unfortunately, and we had a unique crossover between the WWE and College Basketball.
