Before real baseball starts up, Adam & Kevin banter about a bunch of fun things, but MOSTLY, about their 2016 experiences, including: Kevin bailing on a standup weekend to come home to Chicago for the duration of the series; Adam flying out and heading to game 5 solo to sit in the bleachers; Adam returning to Brooklyn where he had a tumultuous game 7 experience while Kevin & his brothers bounced around Chicago, ending up on the streets outside Wrigley, and oh...so much more. Next week: the 2018 season preview with Cubs expert, BP Wrigleyville writer, funny comedian, and soon-to-return prodigal son of Chicago: Ken Schultz! Follow us!

The embargo on news during the playoffs mean it is some idle speculation and lots of wrestling talk during Episode 76 of For All You Kids Out There. In the first half of the show we fish around for some spare scraps of info around the Mets managerial search before begrudgingly (and briefly) discussing the Mets Arizona Fall League rosters. Then in the second half of the show we chat about the NLCS and Joe Maddon's fashion choices with our good friend Zack Moser from BP Wrigleyville. Finally in the third half of the show we answer your queries, talk King of Sport, and debate how mad online the WWE is about the Young Bucks.
