Josh hosts a game with an “Old School” theme. Assistant Coaches Michael Searles and Josh North join us for this episode. In it, we find out if Josh can stump Eric with a question about a tight end and if Dan can find that thing in his mind palace he thought he lost, but the real question of the day is, "How do you feel about baseball?".

EP 49: Its not delivery, it’s DiPietro (featuring guest host & Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg)

Assistant Coach Trevor Hogg joins the bench to guest host an awesome game. Matt and Scott team up to face off against Dan and JJ, who may or may not be able to co-exist long enough to finish the episode. In the episode we learn that Matt knows NOTHING about strikeout leaders, there is more discussion on that truly amazing man Dick Weber, and Scott & Matt cheer aggressively when they get an answer wrong in the 3rd quarter.

EP 48: "I was told there would be college wrestling questions" (featuring guest Cheyenne Fletcher & guest host Joe O'Brien)

Sam Carr from the Hollywood Cast Connection podcast joined the bench to team up with Scott. They faced Dan & Matt in a game hosted by Eric. In the game, we learned that 60 looks like 6 with the degrees symbol, that we CANNOT let Eric's wife listen to any episodes ever, and that George Costanza was an aggressive base runner. We also confirm that Eric loves to sneak hockey questions into games just to mess with Scott.
