Brendon and Ronnie are pumped for the upcoming weekends as the Dodgers and Giants rivalry round out the 2026 regular season. In the top of the show, the two do an analysis switcharoo to talk about the injuries and impact players for the other team. The bottom of the show features a "We Got Time" segment that starts with sumo wrestling and ends with alternative curse words. Along the way, the fellas lament how quickly this year is passing, talk about disappointing second halves that change how you feel about the first half, and remember when it seemed like the universe didn't want the Cubs to end the curse in 2016. Brendon suggests a Substack for Ronnie, explains the decorum of pitchers hitting batters, and once sat in the same room as a sitting U.S. President. Ronnie is considering signing up for Fantasy Baseball again, thinks Bryce Eldridge might hit his house with a baseball, and reminds everyone about the Heidi Bowl.

Brendon and Ronnie weigh in on the recent investigations being done by Pablo Torre Finds Out. In short, it's a bad time to be a billionaire sports team owner in Los Angeles right now... Then in the bottom of the show, they check in with F1 and engage in one of the best We Got Time segments yet. Along the way, the fellas have more good news for Angels fans, talk about some of their most satisfying meals, and ask if Tottenham Hotspur are the Dallas Cowboys of English football. Brendon is suspicious other sports teams are engaging in shady financial deals, gets everyone ready for the upcoming Sumo basho tournament, and recalls a wonderful day when he ate two Filipino breakfasts and won big at Blackjack. Ronnie thinks Steve Ballmer is a guy who hates to lose, recalls the sickest burn he ever heard about Texas Instruments calculators, and can't seem to look away whenever the trainwreck that is Batman & Robin is on TV.

Brendon and Ronnie spend the Top of the Show talking about the shocking sale of the Angels to Stan Kroenke and the introduction of the new owners for the San Diego Padres. And in the Bottom of the Show, they run through a series of questions for We Got Time. Along the way, the fellas talk about one of the best promotional giveaways they've ever seen, struggle with the pronunciation of "Kroenke," and cast themselves in a baseball movie of their own fantasies. Brendon gives his opinion on the Giants announcing Tony Vitello returning next season, and looks like a genius with his MLB picks for win projection. Ronnie thinks there's reason for optimism for the Angels fanbase, and doesn't look like a genius with his MLB picks for win projection.

Brendon and Ronnie spend the top of the show gearing up for the upcoming NFL by picking some teams they expect to make their overs in wins. Then it's a wide-ranging "We Got Time!" bottom of the show! Along the way, the fellas pick some other NFL teams they'll keep an eye on, talk about F1 at the halfway point of the season, and reveal some of the personal journeys they wish to take. Brendon is trying not to let his love of the 49ers influence his predictions, determines if his local Little League parents would make boring reality TV, and might have solved the intimidation that comes with planning a ballpark tour. Ronnie has mixed feelings about ESPN beginning to eliminate the sports ticker, once got irrationally angry at one of his favorite soccer players, and is going to root for the Giants... of football!

Brendon and Ronnie take the top of the show to talk some Los Angeles basketball... for all the wrong reasons. They talk about the incredibly sudden (and shady) sale of the Lakers and then reflect on how every new release of Pablo Torre's investigation into the Clippers makes the NBA's "independent" investigation look worse. In the bottom of the show, the argument is made that, with all of the NBA's woes, now is the worst time for a MLB Lockout. Along the way, the fellas wonder if franchise ownership has entered an era of asset flipping and stump (again) for promotion and relegation in American sports. Brendon thinks the kids are all right, and reveals what brought him back to baseball after the 1994 MLB Players Strike. Ronnie blames Shohei Ohtani for how he says "New Balance," and knows way more about the X's and O's of basketball than he leads on.

Brendon and Ronnie are celebrating women's sports in the top of the show. First, they introduce everyone to the teams (and logos) of the Women's Pro Baseball League. Then they check in with the WNBA to talk about basketball. (Not the other stuff.) The bottom of the show features the 2026 Hall of Fame class for the NFL. Along the way, the fellas make tentative plans to build Brendon a personal studio space, marvel at how talented the women of the WNBA are currently, and make some way-too-early Stanley Cup predictions. Brendon is taking some time off from Little League baseball, knows where to find all of the ways that San Francisco honors Lillie Hitchcock Coit, and asks when CrossFit became so popular. Ronnie is behind on his podcasting duties, wonders what the hell the Sparks are doing with their roster, and expresses how much he dislikes NFL training camps.

Brendon and Ronnie are on the other side of the MLB Trade Deadline, dedicating the top of the show to moves by the Dodgers and Giants, and then talk about the looming lockout. Then, We Got Time in the bottom of the show with a series of topics from what F1 drivers do during a summer break to many changes coming to MLS in 2027 to our favorite video games of 2001. Along the way, the fellas wonder if it's getting late for Blake Snell's usual late season debut and liken the comparisons of Jordan and LeBron to apples and oranges. Brendon gives an analysis of the many moves by the Giants, and is tempted by becoming a San Jose Earthquakes fan. Ronnie does his best to theorize that MLB will likely adopt the NBA Salary Cap structure, and recalls how he became a lifelong Portland Timbers fan.

Brendon and Ronnie are here for the second half of the MLB season with a lot of talk about the upcoming trade deadline. Listen as they read through an article by The Athletic where their staff make "bold" predicitons about each team ahead of the deadline. They tie up a number of other topics such as F1, Sumo, and tinned fish during the We Got Time segment. Along the way, the fellas try to figure out which teams might go for broke, discover that "Lars Nootbaar" is a fun name to say, and make a plea to raise the dohyo in Sumo. Brendon is in Back To School mode, recalls a very fishy prank, and wonders aloud what a Sumo version of Heated Rivalry would be like. Ronnie made alterations to a famous sandwich, remembers when the Dodgers and Mike Piazza had their famous trade deadline divorce, and is shocked to see the Pirates buying at the deadline.
