The NBA playoffs may be unpredictable, but at least summer blockbusters deliver.   In this episode of They That Hope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob unpack the Cleveland Cavaliers' devastating playoff collapse (RIP hope), debate baseball scandals from Pete Rose to steroid-era legends, and preview the biggest summer movies hitting theaters. From Marvel's new Thunderbolts to the return of Mission: Impossible and a much-anticipated Fantastic Four reboot, they break down what's worth watching and what might just be movie theater popcorn filler.  Alongside the movie chatter and sports rants, Deacon Bob introduces an exciting revival of a powerful small group ministry: Discipleship Quads. This free resource fosters spiritual growth through intentional, weekly gatherings rooted in Scripture, catechesis, and deep personal sharing. With new momentum and even a Spanish-language version, the Quads model is helping people grow in faith and community across the country. (Check it out at dquads.com.)  The episode wraps with reflections on Pope Leo XIV's installation Mass, his moving words of humility, and the symbolic weight of receiving the Fisherman's Ring. As the Church welcomes a new pope, Father Dave and Deacon Bob consider what might lie ahead in his papacy—including the possibility of a historic first visit to Ukraine.   As always, expect humor, brotherhood, and a reminder that our hope isn't in playoffs or premieres—it's in Jesus.    Highlighted Sections  (00:00) Postseason Chaos and NBA Plot Twists  Deacon Bob and Father Dave kick off the episode with a spirited sports recap, reacting to the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff collapse and the unexpected shape of the NBA postseason. They debate changing legacies, cheer for the Knicks, and comment on the Toronto Maple Leafs' latest heartbreak in hockey.  (05:23) Baseball Scandals and Hall of Fame Debates  From debates over Pete Rose to steroid-era sluggers like Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa, the hosts unpack the evolving conversation around integrity in baseball and eligibility for Cooperstown.  (14:18) Speaking of Movies: Summer Blockbusters Begin  Summer movie season kicks off with Marvel's Thunderbolts, and Father Dave shares why this new team-up film hits just right. The duo also discuss upcoming blockbusters like Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and the much-anticipated reboot of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, as well as kids' flicks like How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch going live-action.   (23:11) A Ministry That's Multiplying: Discipleship Quads  Father Dave and Deacon Bob talk about Discipleship Quads—a free resource from Franciscan University that helps small groups grow in faith together. Recently refreshed with new materials and a Spanish-language version, this initiative is spreading globally and helping transform Catholic community life.   (26:30) A Pope Named Bob (Sort Of): Leo XIV's Installation  Pope Leo XIV's inauguration Mass moved the world—and the hosts—with moments of humility and reverence. They reflect on his powerful statement of servanthood and the symbolism of receiving the Fisherman's Ring, traditionally used to seal papal documents.  (32:10) Praying for Ukraine and Papal Diplomacy  As the pope meets with global leaders, including U.S. officials, Deacon Bob and Father Dave explore the possibility of his first papal trip being to Ukraine. They also reflect on early reports of peace talks and the potential impact of a papal presence in times of global tension and reconciliation.    Resources Mentioned  Discipleship Quads – dquads.com  Homily of Pope Leo XIV during the Mass of Inauguration of the Petrine Ministry – NCR Online.

Last Tuesday, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred dropped a bomb on the baseball community with his announcement that the lifetime bans of 17 individuals were lifted, effective immediately. With the ban lifted, all 17 are now eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame, but let's be real; Pete Rose and 16 others are now eligible for Cooperstown. Jim covers what happened and walks through the list of all of the individuals impacted. Then, he takes a quick look into the Hall of Fame cases of Shoeless Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Benny Kauff, and Rose (17:35). Finally, he reviews what the 2028 Classic Baseball Era ballot could look like, which is the first ballot any of these players could potentially land on (36:47).

The all-time hit king, Pete Rose, is no longer banned from Major League Baseball, seven months after his death. A new MLB policy announced this week ends permanent bans from the sport once the person dies. The change impacts Rose and 17 other former players, including "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Ever since he was banned in 1989 for gambling on baseball while he was a player and manager of the Cincinnati Reds, the debate over whether Rose should be inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame has been a constant subject for sports journalists and talk programs. Rose's removal from the ineligibility list makes an induction possible. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent and diehard Cincinnati Reds fan Chad Pergram covered Rose's banishment back in the '80s and joins the Rundown to discuss the legendary player's complex legacy, the politics surrounding Rose, and the likelihood he will get a shrine in Cooperstown.

Is it sheer coincidence that with a White Sox fan in charge of things in the Vatican the team won three out of four prior to this recording? Duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and current Ohio Valley correspondent (while doing a play in Cincinnati) Will delve into the papal impact, as Will points out that suffering is a major factor in Catholicism, which could well explain why Leo XIV became a White Sox fan even though his mother rooted for the Cubs and his father for the Cardinals (although, of course, he went on to become a cardinal himself). The cast ranges from the divine to the execrable, ending with a discussion on Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson and the fact MLB teams themselves operate virtual casinos and inundate innocent fans with efforts to tempt them into their dens of gambling iniquity, so banning the two is now hugely hypocritical. The duo have suggestions on how Cooperstown should cope with those so far banned for gambling, or worse, steroid use, suggestions that will never be followed. In between the discussion is all White Sox, from the pleasant, like how to handle having too many good players at one position (catcher) and the hitting of Edgar Quero and the rejuvenated Miguel Vargas. On the less pleasant side, it's the position situation at first base, with the question there being whether Tim Elko coming to the team has caused Andrew Vaughn to improve his play and whether it's possible, if Elko turns out to be for real after the league writes its book on him, a desperate Boston would take Vaughn to replace the injured Tristan Casas.

Trey Hendrickson, the Cincinnati Bengals' All-Pro defensive end, is embroiled in a heated contract dispute as he enters the final year of his deal, set to earn $15.8 million in 2025. After leading the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024, Hendrickson is pushing for a lucrative extension, frustrated by the Bengals' lack of communication since the NFL Draft. His camp reports no progress, with prior offers falling short of promises made last offseason. The Bengals, who recently signed Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to massive deals totaling $276 million, seem hesitant to meet Hendrickson's demands, possibly due to his age (31) and the team's methodical approach to contracts. Despite permission to seek a trade, no movement has occurred, raising speculation about a potential holdout. NFL insiders remain optimistic, with some believing Cincinnati will eventually pay Hendrickson, citing his critical role in their defense, which struggled last season. However, the drafting of edge rusher Shemar Stewart hints at a possible succession plan. As training camp looms, this saga could define the Bengals' 2025 season. Will they secure their star pass rusher or risk losing him? On May 13, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds fell 5-1 to the Chicago White Sox at Great American Ball Park. Andrew Abbott delivered a strong start, pitching six innings and allowing just one run on five hits. The Reds' offense, however, struggled, mustering only six hits against White Sox pitching. Trailing 1-0, Elly De La Cruz tied the game with a solo home run in the ninth. The game went to extra innings, where Miguel Vargas' three-run homer in the 10th sealed the White Sox's victory. Despite the loss, De La Cruz's late-game heroics provided a highlight for Reds fans. On May 13, 2025, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced the posthumous reinstatement of Pete Rose, baseball's all-time hits leader, removing him from the permanently ineligible list 36 years after his 1989 ban for betting on games. The decision, which also reinstated 16 other deceased players like “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, means Rose is now eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame, with potential consideration by the Classic Baseball Era Committee in December 2027. Manfred ruled that lifetime bans end upon a player's death, citing no further threat to the game's integrity. The move followed a petition from Rose's family in January 2025, after his death in September 2024 at age 83, and discussions with President Donald Trump, a vocal Rose supporter. Cincinnati Reds owner Bob Castellini celebrated the decision, calling Rose one of baseball's greatest. However, reactions were mixed: some fans and figures like Mike Schmidt praised the move, while others, including Bart Giamatti's son, argued it undermines baseball's integrity. Rose's reinstatement reopens debates about his legacy, gambling in sports, and Hall of Fame criteria, with his 4,256 hits and three World Series titles now eligible for Cooperstown's judgment.

Did you know that fellow '60's Brit rockers The Kinks had their biggest ever hit in 1984? Who didn't love "Kum Backing", their tribute to one of the very first bootlegs: the Beatles acetate "Kum Back"? Here at the UBP we love the Kinks, kink shaming, Kum & Go gas, and this legendary bootleg, heard by the #Kum2GetherToo for the very first time just this month! Some Beatles "fans", right? I'll bet they can't even pronounce "Esher" correctly... So do get your tape recorders rolling, but be forewarned; Kash Patel may come to your home to sing songs about justice for people who poop on senate desks. Smart fella, that one. All of 'em, really. ANYHOO, when your tape is rolling, Bob, be ready for more questions than a societally-destructive right wing manosphere podcast is "just asking", such as:

The Giants have gone 14-13 since their 8-1 explosive start. That doesn't sound amazing, but it's still good for the 4th best record in all of baseball. Unfortunately, the NL West has the two best teams in baseball with the Dodgers having won 8 of 9 games and the Padres have won 6 in a row. That said, the Giants are in the best shape at this point in the season since 2021. But...there are concerns. Many hitters are at or below .200. Their offense is average at best, and their starters are also around the average mark. So, why are they "overperforming?" Some of it has to do with their torrid start, but defense and other metrics creep in to alter a few losses to wins. Their expected W/L is only off by one. However, this could catch up in time. Chad and Willie discuss this and review the first quarter of the season and grade all facets of the Giants' game.
