This week, The Munchie Boys tackle a Finisode preoccupied with unpacking Fin's history while an undercover with Narcotics, more than a decade after the fact. Rollins gets improbably shot, which leads to an unhealthy dose of police brutallity and metaphorical prison rape threats, but that's not nearly as shocking as some truly disturbing home-decor-driven revelations upon meeting a seemingly normal family with a secret left unspoken.Alexandra Eames also pops up in this episode, which means there's a little bit of Criminal Intent's history to deal with, and there are a ton of guest stars with SUPER WEIRD backgrounds which lead us to speaking about whether bands could have been around to have songs on the Iron Eagles II soundtrack, bathing beauty contests, Carmelo Anthony's very public and extremely inconsiderate birthday present to his wife, and another truly wild IMDb self-penned biography. This one starts wild and ends wilder in ways you wouldn't have predicted.Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, and Matt - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!

The boys compare it to past Olympic runs and explain why this version feels different. They also touch on Tom Wilson's fight and a wider debate about how close the tournament has moved toward an NHL style product, before running through how the quarterfinal bracket and qualifying round could shake out. They wrap by zooming out to the broader Olympic experience, including the curling controversy and trash talk, plus a quick nod to Canada getting its first Gold courtesy of Mikaël Kingsbury. To close the hour, they pivot to the Blue Jays' trade for Jesús Sánchez and debate if he can a real everyday factor and how much of the move is a bet on loud contact and power.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Baseball is here.

The first day of spring training is traditionally a joyous time of renewal, but on Blue Jays Day 1, manager John Schneider opened with a trio of injury reports — OF Anthony Santander, RHP Shane Bieber and RHP Bowden Francis — plus a mutual mea culpa surrounding RHP Jose Berrios and his bail out during the World Series. Both sides now say the Berrios situation could have been handled better. Is all forgiven? Already, less than a week into camp, the Jays have made a trade to shore up the outfield for the loss of Santander. Griff and Mal discuss the role of OF Jesus Sanchez, acquired from the Astros for OF Joey Loperfido, returning to his original team. Is there a role for Berrios that would see him make 30+ starts for the Jays or, as the boys discuss, with the club's Top 10 depth of starters, is a trade more likely with three years left on his contract and an opt-out looming. With $20M remaining on his final season in Philly, what happened to prompt the release of volatile OF Nick Castellanos. And more.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning close out the week on Friday the 13th by reacting to Team Canada's dominant 5–0 win over Czechia in its Olympic opener. They break down the pace and physical edge, the contributions throughout the lineup, and Jordan Binnington's steady start in goal, before looking ahead to the back-to-back against Switzerland. Later, Sportsnet's Sean Reynolds joins the show live from Milan to explain why Binnington's opener changes the goaltending conversation, and how Canada's NHL-level structure gives them a real edge.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open this episode by circling back to Team Canada's 5–0 win over Czechia, including Jordan Binnington's postgame “psycho goalie” stare.

The conversation pivots to Blue Jays camp with José Berríos speaking publicly for the first time, weighing whether his “bad decision” comments sound like real closure or something that could linger, before touching on the Phillies moving on from Nick Castellanos. After the break, Justin Bourne (28:57) of Real Kyper & Bourne joins as the guys keep riding the high from Canada's near-flawless opener. He zeroes in on the most Canadian subplot possible: Binnington looking calm, sharp, and comfortable, sparking the inevitable “so… what exactly is happening in St. Louis?” conversation.

Spring has sprung for your Toronto Blue Jays, who are gathering in Dunedin to begin the drive for a second straight American League championship—and, ideally, more—as we speak (or, you know, as you read this). But that's not all that's been sprung this week in Jaysland. The team has sprung some fairly significant news here at the dawn of camp, announcing that the shoulder that torpedoed Anthony Santander's first season now requires surgery that may make his second year a write-off as well, that Shane Bieber continues to be dealing with fatigue in his surgically repaired arm and will be brought along slowly, that Bowden Francis is going under the knife and will be out for the season, and—though this was more a Sportsnet thing than a Jays thing—that the legendary Buck Martinez has decided to hang up his microphone, announcing his retirement after an incredible career in Major League Baseball that began before Woodstock.Not great, Bob!

For Father's Day, the Randomizer decided to troll dads everywhere with a tale of woe and trauma that sure makes one father look AWFUL. We watched "Redemption In Her Corner" (S21E13) this week. Don't worry though because plenty of other people get some stink on them too because this is Law & Order: SVU, after all. As per usual, Adam and Josh go down innumerable rabbit holes—trying to figure out just what Liv's birthday actually is, wondering what Barba was doing in Iowa investigating election fraud for primaries that don't exist, the origins of the boxing for fitness craze, and the origins of Italian soups. Fathers everywhere should listen to remind them that there are a lot of bad dads out there, and they should work to make sure they're not one of them.We also talk Munch My Benson Movie Club pick Brain Dead, an existential brainmelter featuring Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton. Yes, they're two separate people.Note: This episode was recorded before the eventful Season 22 finale, so keep that in mind re: Rollisi talk.Links:Emma Sofia Caymares's video for “I Don't Know You”Music:Divorcio Suave - “Munchy Business”Thanks to our gracious Munchies on Patreon: Jeremy S, Jaclyn O, Amy Z, Diana R, Tony B, Drew D, Nicky R, Stuart, Jacqi B, Natalie T, Robyn S, Sean M, Jay S, Briley O, Suzanne B, Tim Y, John P, John W, Elia S, Rebecca B, Lily, Sarah L, Melsa A, Alyssa C, Johnathon M, Tiffany C, Brian B, Whitney C, Alex, Jannicke HS, Erin M, Melissa H, Olivia, Holly F, Karina H, Zak B, Karyn R, Summer S, and Matt - y'all are the best!Be a Munchie, too!
