    Let Slay Eat Cake
    2026/08/28

    The 35th inaugural episode becomes a full-blown Slay Day as Slayer celebrates her actual August 27 birthday in studio, where a normal birthday interview immediately mutates into LeBron fan anthropology, quiet-car jurisprudence, and a hard-line debate over wearing the wrong Philadelphia jersey to the wrong Philadelphia sporting event. From there, the crew discovers Willie Lampkin may be a lost citizen of Oz, debates whether Dr. TAT is legally permitted to boo his own Bengals-loving child, turns Joe Burrow into Macaulay Culkin, and spends an irresponsible amount on craps mechanics, upside-down puzzles, and tactical sandwich concealment from increasingly militant Jersey Shore seagulls. Slayer then delivers what is immediately declared the greatest duck joke in podcast history before revealing the secret economy of Wrangler ducking, hidden Jeep symbols, and why Panda Dan has apparently been waving at people who were never obligated to wave back. Stat Boy attempts to restore sports by introducing the Phillies’ “lame duck” manager situation, only for the episode to unveil an alternate Set Hike! Red October fanfest coined "Set Strike!", react to an IHOP-based Spanish cycling correspondent, and then host a live intervention over Panda Dan’s Minute Maid intake. Finally, Slayer brings everyone cookies, Dr. TAT eats the cookie she actually wanted, the room performs a duck-infested “Happy Birthday" and the Corrections department delivers the ultimate birthday gift: Slayer missed sharing August 28 with Shania Twain and Marv from Home Alone by roughly eleven minutes. Let Slay eat cake? Sure. Just apparently not her own cookie.

  • Set Hike! Heard Juice Was a Wild One

    Set Hike! Heard Juice Was a Wild One
    2026/08/21
    The Set Hike! crew finally gets serious in its 34th inaugural episode, promising a “no-nonsense night” before immediately burning multiple minutes litigating the numerical boundaries between a couple, a few, several, and many—proving once again that nobody at this podcast can be trusted with an agenda. After diagnosing the Eagles’ preseason offense as vanilla ice cream dropped on the ground, Panda Dan debates whether Sean Mannion belongs in the forbidden booth, while Dr. TAT discovers that Vic Fangio’s defense apparently consists of a man on life support and a human piñata. Things briefly become shockingly wholesome when Lauren from Carl’s Cards & Collectibles joins to celebrate her father’s incredible Havertown legacy and their store’s role in connecting Philly fans with their hometown heroes, including Delco’s very own Kevin McGonigle. Speaking of hometown heroes, a new one is born when "Juice” begins recounting how a mere Delco mortal went from nearly being kicked out of Citizens Bank Park to being rescued, sent backstage, placed next to Flo Rida, transforming into a 62-year-old dancing Phillies folk hero, complete with an elbow kiss and open jersey. By the end, Stat Boy conjures up a new Set Hike! memorabilia sweepstakes and reveals a secret talent so powerful that Dr. TAT and Panda Dan immediately begins reconsidering the very concept of sound itself.Key Topics Discussed00:22 — The 34th Inaugural “No-Nonsense” Episode03:40 — Eagles Preseason Autopsy: The Soggy Offense10:16 — Preseason Philosophy & Dr. TAT Loathes the Booth14:22 — Life Support, Human Piñatas & Eagles Defensive Depth18:13 — Lauren from Carl’s Cards & Collectibles Joins the Show26:10 — Kevin McGonigle Mania Hits Havertown29:25 — Dr. J, Brandon Graham & Legendary Carl’s Cards Signings35:43 — Carl’s Flyers Legacy, Bernie Parent & Dan Vladar40:57 — The Set Hike!

  • If You Jeep Wave, They Will Duck

    If You Jeep Wave, They Will Duck
    2026/08/13

    The 33rd inaugural episode begins with Turtle’s manual-transmission driving gloves and somehow develops into a graduate seminar on Jeep culture, where Panda Dan admits he’s essentially duckless and the crew spends several legally inadvisable minutes defining mutual ducking, tri-ducks, duck exclusivity, and the shocking possibility that the Western Hemisphere itself is a duck. The Phillies then use the completely meaningless but spiritually binding fact that the 1980, 2008 and 2026 teams all sat at 64–56 after 120 games to guarantee another World Series, before Chase Utley’s Wall of Fame ceremony becomes an ageism tribunal, a Pat Burrell grooming appreciation society, and a Kevin Costner filmography test nobody studied for. Eventually football arrives, where Darius Cooper and Willie Lampkin become the official Set Hike! preseason hype train, Lemon is declared a bust approximately seven years before anyone should be allowed to say that, and Lane Johnson’s possible last ride sends the entire offensive-line discussion plunging into an unstoppable series of Johnson jokes. The brand-new Set Hike! voicemail line then fulfills its technological destiny when children immediately use it to investigate Dr. TAT’s fart volume, before Stat Boy closes the case with Stellantis corrections, vintage Phillies fan-club archaeology, Savannah Bananas acrobatics and one final command: grab your ducks, give yourself a Jeep wave, and go Birds.

    Statistics & Facts

    • Chrysler is still in business; its parent company is Stellantis — and Jeep's parent company is also Stellantis.
    • "Jeep Ducking" is described as a real global phenomenon: Jeep owners leave small rubber ducks on other Jeeps as a random act of kindness/acknowledgment.
    • After 120 games, the 1980 Phillies were 64–56, the 2008 Phillies were 64–56, and the 2026 Phillies were also 64–56 — both 1980 and 2008 ended in World Series titles.
    • Savannah Bananas trivia: the team reportedly sold out Citizens Bank Park ("the bank") two days in a row; a player named Robert Anthony Cruz ("RAC"; a former MLB player with the Nationals) recently landed a trick called the "Iron Lotus" — a flip with a twist, catching the ball backhanded. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DbzLhofI6hn/
    • Birds returner Brit Covey reportedly ran a "hammy route" during OTAs — faking a hamstring injury mid-route as a decoy move. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DZv3Jl5NjHL/
    • Crows: reportedly have intelligence comparable to a 7-year-old human or a great ape; high neuron density lets them make tools, recognize human faces, and understand water displacement.

  • Snake(Boy)s on a Plane

    Snake(Boy)s on a Plane
    2026/08/07

    The 32nd inaugural episode begins with a formal attempt to repair diplomatic relations with the duck-joke community, but mutates into a graduate-level NFL training-camp seminar before AJ Epenesa’s nocturnal snake herping hobby kicks the door off the hinges and sends the entire show screaming into reptilian hell. Dr. TAT relives the moment he accidentally grabbed a live Delco driveway snake, Panda Dan reveals that apparently every young man must complete one government-mandated “snake tour,” and Stat Boy is forcibly rebranded as Snake Boy while Snakes on a Plane, Anaconda, and Hollywood's mandatory hip-hop casting requirements consume a wildly irresponsible percentage of a sports podcast. Eventually, the crew remembers sports exist and staggers back toward Eagles training camp (part II), investigates Atlanta’s fourth-string quarterback and Joel Embiid’s allegedly asymmetrical slimming anatomy. Before Snake Boy can open the correction ledger, Set Hike!’s R&D Department unveils its greatest invention yet and launches the show into a completely new level of unnecessary technological advancement, a twist so structurally ambitious it has Christopher Nolan asking for a whiteboard and a nap.

  • Duck, Duck, Duck...Joke!

    Duck, Duck, Duck...Joke!
    2026/07/30

    Set Hike! starts off with a BANG, celebrating its **inaugural** 31st episode by immediately setting what experts are calling the fastest statistical correction in sports-comedy podcast history, naturally segueing into compelling prime numbers talk, knuckle-based calendars, seasonal punching fists, Atlantic City bachelor-party archaeology, and a shockingly serious investigation into whether anyone has ever willingly bet roulette number 31. As Philadelphia transforms into LeBron City, Panda Dan delivers possibly the least enthusiastic superstar welcome in sports-comedy podcast history, Eagles training camp is here (rejoice!), and Stat Boy explores the financial mechanics of being mummified in your own life savings. But the true star is MC and The Sauce, a Chester County beer-league hockey operation built on pizza branding, A.I. (i.e., Antonio Intelligence) analytics, a whopping 16.7% power play, and the revolutionary draft strategy of selecting every guy who has previously injured you. By the end, the crew has debated Italian pasta sauces, sounds-off on LeBron's helicopter commute, famous babies, Hands on a Hard Body, a 13th month named “Secon-dary,” and produced what Dr. TAT himself concedes may be “one of the worst duck joke podcasts we've ever had.”

    • Roulette: betting a single number pays 35-to-1 odds; the 0 and 00 give the house its edge. 31 is a black number on the wheel.
    • MC flew LeBron around Philly in a Sikorsky S-76 helicopter, per the bit — hot spots mentioned: Diamond Cabaret, Philip's Steaks, Pizza 50s, and Coco's Gelato in Aldan, PA.

  • C's Get Coaching Trees

    C's Get Coaching Trees
    2026/07/23

    With Eagles training camp quickly approaching, Set Hike! has reached the dangerous part of summer where Ancient Greek literature, Eagles roster projections, and fantasy football delusions all intersect. Naturally, the crew sends LeBron on an MJ-esque, spite-fueled Last Dance, plagiarizes The Odyssey into the inevitable Set Hike! Productions masterpiece The Pizza Odyssey, and deconstructs Shanahan's (Mike's) NFL coaching tree that somehow contains flowers, bramble bushes, weeds, and Nick Sirianni scampering around like a squirrel. Meanwhile, the Eagles offensive line becomes an anatomy joke, Zulu Nation begins accepting laminated résumés for a fantasy football league vacancy, and Turtle proposes a third-place NFL game so offensive that FIFA itself is nearly banned from the podcast for eternity (and may God have mercy on your soul, Turtle). The mailbag wraps up with an epic blind coaching résumé showdown that pits some serious football royalty head-to-head-to-head. By the end, championships are counted, suspicions are raised, and Set Hike! once again proves that no résumé is safe once Stat Boy fires up the spreadsheets...

    • Homer (not Simpson) is traditionally credited as the author of The Odyssey, though it originated as oral tradition

  • Set Hike!'s Back...Tell A Friend

    Set Hike!'s Back...Tell A Friend
    2026/07/17

    After 28 consecutive days of contractually mandated podcast PTO, Set Hike! returns with rejuvenated vocal cords, a suspicious number of stat conventions, and an urgent investigation into why basketball rims at a multi-purpose public pool—now officially an “MP³”—reject jump shots like a nightclub with a dress code. The crew catches up on World Cup heartbreak, Philadelphia’s MLB All-Star carnival, Jordan Walker’s magenta-ball uprising, Eagles training camp, and the suspicious multi-league Brown exchange involving AJ, Jaylen, four franchises, multiple colors, and possibly one shared grandfather. Fan mail forces the hosts to sing every nostalgic sports theme song they can partially remember, investigate the underused verb “spangle,” and decide whether a silverback gorilla or five Kobe Bryant Black Mambas would be the better mall companion. Stat Boy eventually convenes corrections court to explain D.P. Dough, locate present day Pat "The Bat" Burrell, re-remember Roy Halladay's All-Star greatness, and take a stroll down memory lane with "Truck Driver" Sam Rayburn—the 2000's Eagles defensive lineman who apparently crawled so Beau Allen could walk.

    Statistics & Facts

    • The crew is required to take 28-days PTO every summer, taken consecutively.
    • 2026 All-Star Game starting pitchers: last Blue Jay to start was Roy Halladay in 2009; last Phillie to start was Roy Halladay in 2011 — so Halladay started for both teams historically.
    • Kevin Durant reportedly attended the Home Run Derby and called Boston, New York, and Philly fans the most passionate.
    • If LeBron James joined the Sixers or Warriors he'd be first player to win a title with four different teams.
    • Sam Rayburn (Hank Rayburn) identified as the undrafted Eagles defensive tackle (Tulsa) known for a "truck driver" sack celebration, played for the Eagles roughly 2003–2006 (noted as "306" in transcript, likely a mis-transcription).
    • D.P. Dough origin: named after founders "Dan" and "Penny", founded mid-1980s as a college-town calzone chain; closest location to the group is in Delaware at UDel
    • Pat Burrell
      • 2008 World Series stats: 52 plate appearances, .227 batting average, 3 HR, 8 RBI, 13 strikeouts, 8 walks
      • 2010 World Series (with Giants): ~49 plate appearances, .143 average
      • Was the Phillies' hitting coach for the Giants organization in 2024–2025; recently moved to a different front-office role after a GM change

    Memorable Quotes

    The Double Winchester Episode
    2026/06/18

    Do you want the good news or bad news first?...The Good news: the crew acquire yet another World-famous guest like they’re building a sports-chaos Avengers roster, this time calling Ryan Winchester after his mathematically absurd two-hole-in-one round at Rolling Green — immediately christened "The Double Winchester." Ryan calmly explains the miracle while the hosts try to process it through golf balls as jewelry, saint canonization math, and whether Jack Nicklaus needs to knight him with a 7-iron. Now, the Bad news: from there, the episode swerves into World Cup confusion, corporate hydration-break conspiracies, VAR turning referees into Google Glass cyborgs, and Stat Boy pitching a five-and-a-half-hour blockbuster called "Bourne Mistaken Identity". The back half somehow steers us back to Eagles roster therapy, updates recent peanut-butter-and-jelly NFLPA relations, play-by-play announcer theology, and one final prayer for the Kiwis.
