Description

Kyle and Matt catch up on toddler life, minor league baseball on a budget, and surviving the movie theater with a three-year-old — then Matt breaks down the real secret to Disneyland: it's not the rides, it's the bar program. Plus a Kaiser pharmacy horror story, a deep dive into CDs vs. vinyl vs. Plex, and a World Cup tangent nobody saw coming.
