It’s Episode 8 of Baseless, which officially means we've outlasted most podcasts (despite having zero sponsors, questionable baseball expertise, and an unhealthy obsession with athletes' personal lives).

In this episode, we recap everything from MLB's All-Star festivities to the Blue Jays' post-break heartbreak, while trying very hard to remain optimistic. Along the way, we fall down several rabbit holes, including why Dylan Cease's brain should probably be donated to science, why the Home Run Derby is criminally underrated, and which athletes have us completely rethinking our Hot or Just Talented? rankings.

We also dive headfirst into the world of baseball WAGs, or as we prefer to call them, PAFBs (partners and “buddies”). From photographers and dentists to Olympic gold medallists and supermodels, we're celebrating the incredible women behind some of baseball's biggest names and proving, once again, that the off-field stories are often even more interesting than what happens between the foul lines.

Of course, no episode of Baseless would be complete without confidently explaining baseball terms incorrectly, debating whether pineapple belongs on pizza, crowning our Boyfriend of the Week, and sharing the kind of sports opinions that absolutely nobody asked for.

It's Episode 7! Join us as we ride the rollercoaster that is baseball fandom.

We relive Lindsay's first-ever Blue Jays game (which just happened to end in an 11-0 beatdown by the Mariners) and ask the important questions: Is it too early to panic? Is Topo Chico the official drink of baseball? And can a tiny red dragon on a stick actually save a season? We also gush over Davis Schneider belting out Taylor Swift at karaoke (every lyric, no notes), celebrate the return of good vibes to the clubhouse, and somehow convince ourselves that dragons, baseball and friendship are the formula for success.

We also head into extra innings with our favourite segments,including Hot or Just Talented and Explain It to Me Like We're at Brunch, where we break down baseball's coolest pitching feats - from no-hitters to perfect games and immaculate innings.

Plus, we're issuing apologies, making corrections, celebrating the launch of women's professional baseball, and, of course, crowning our Boyfriend of the Week after another completelynormal, not-at-all-unhinged Instagram deep dive.

Please give us a rating and review - thank you!

We're back with our first-ever bonus episode because, somehow, we've caught World Cup fever.

Are we soccer experts? Absolutely not. Have we become deeply invested anyway? Also yes. We chat about why the FIFA World Cup feels so much bigger than any other sporting event and why Vancouver suddenly feels like the centre of the universe. We also tackle Canada's incredible run, the chaos of tournament brackets, WAG culture, and whether a Baseless-branded vuvuzela is the business opportunity we've all been waiting for.

Then we call in reinforcements. Our first-ever podcast guests, and resident soccer fanatics, Brian and Christine join us for a special "Explain It to Me Like We're at Brunch" segment, where they patiently answer our many, many questions. We get the crash course we desperately needed, debate the world's most passionate fan bases, learn why penalty shootouts are equal parts thrilling and cruel, and discover that soccer commentary somehow includes words like "belter," "had a mare," and "dreamland."

Whether you've been following football your entire life or you're just here because everyone else seems really excited, there's no shortage of laughs, questionable takes, and just enough soccer knowledge to fake your way through your next World Cup conversation.
