Jason Benetti, Sunday Night Baseball, Game Shows and Even Counts

Jason Benetti returns to Is This A Great Game, Or What?, and this time he has another impressive title to add to his résumé: host of Sunday Night Baseball on NBC. Alongside his role as the Detroit Tigers' play-by-play broadcaster, Jason is now taking his talents to a national audience every week, and we couldn't be happier for one of the best in the business. That said... we don't spend much time talking baseball. Instead, we dive into Jason's marching band days (yes, he played the tuba), his love of trivia and game shows, and how those passions helped shape him into the broadcaster he is today. Then, somehow, Yellowcard enters the conversation—and if you know this podcast, you know things go off the rails in all the right ways. Former guest Kevin Brown joins the conversation as we look back on their days together in Minor League Baseball. We also swap stories about Bill Walton, Roger Clemens, and John Kruk, making for another unforgettable conversation with this future (one-day) Hall of Fame broadcaster.

Three Hall Of Famers Peeing Next To Tim Kurkjian

Hall of Fame Weekend is in the books, and Tim Kurkjian shares some incredible stories from his time with this year's inductees and plenty of other baseball legends. Wade Boggs meets Eddie Murray, and you won't believe who Tim ran into in the bathroom. Trust us—this one's an all-timer. We also break down a surprising Red Sox-Nationals trade that Tim says is unlike anything we've seen in years. With the trade deadline fast approaching, Tarik Skubal has become one of baseball's hottest names. But are the Tigers buyers, sellers, or somewhere in between? On This Date in Baseball History, it's Alex Rodriguez's birthday, and we'll share a birthday stat about A-Rod that we're willing to bet you've never heard before. We also spin the Wheel of Kurkjian, and when "video games" comes up, it's Jeff's time to shine. Plus, Team Tim is all about the home run! Thanks so much for listening!

Tim Kurkjian's Best Beltran, Jones and Kent Stories

This weekend, Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones, and Jeff Kent will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Naturally, Tim Kurkjian makes the case for why each of these baseball legends is deserving of the honor. We all know Luis Arraez is a contact machine, but his latest stat has everyone stunned. Nolan Ryan and Goose Gossage? It sounds impossible, but it's true—and it's this week's On This Date in Baseball History. Alphabet Best moves on to last names beginning with R, and one pick is as obvious as it gets. Before that, Team Tim is made up entirely of players who go by three names. Trust us—there are a lot more than you'd think. Plus, we crack open some baseball cards for Tim to riff on, featuring Patrick Wisdom, Kevin Youkilis, and Matt Olson. And this week's Quirkjians highlights a Phillies baserunning blunder that has Jeff completely beside himself.

John Buccigross Might Be The BIGGEST Collector We Know!

This interview with John Buccigross isn't just normally good—it's great. He even showed up with some incredible memorabilia, including a bobblehead that absolutely blew our minds. We're always fans of a good show-and-tell, and John definitely delivered. Of course, we couldn't resist throwing some of our signature hypothetical questions his way—including one about hockey. We also dive into Dan Patrick's legendary confidence in his own athletic abilities. Tim, John, and Dan spent many years together at ESPN, so there are plenty of great stories and laughs along the way. And then there's Bucket of Chicken Night. We'll let John tell that story because it deserves to be heard firsthand. John has been a longtime friend of the Kurkjian family, and we're thrilled to finally have him on the show.

The Red Sox Are DIFFERENT And That's GOOD!

We are officially into the second half of the baseball season, with plenty of games in the books, and it feels great to be BACK! This episode is packed with Takeaways and Quirkjians, led by the Boston Red Sox. Tim Kurkjian is still trying to figure out exactly what’s happening with this team — because somehow, the story looks completely different than it did just three weeks ago. James Wood and the Nationals/Athletics series have us scratching our heads, while Victor Martinez and Logan Webb also make their way into this week’s Quirkjians. For On This Date in Baseball History, we take a look back at Gaylord Perry and Hank Aaron. Jeff brings up an interesting question about Hank Aaron’s final home run that you may have wondered about too. Stephen Strasburg shares a birthday with our friend and former guest Dan Shaughnessy, and Tim shares a story from a recent speech Dan gave that had him laughing so hard he was nearly on the floor. Which makes us wonder… didn’t Tim Kurkjian already know every baseball story ever told? Turns out, not this one! We also spin the Wheel of Kurkjian, so be sure to send in your suggestions on our website. Finally, Team Tim is becoming more like Team Shannon, thanks to a genius idea from a member of our family. As Jeff mentioned during the show, please subscribe or follow wherever you watch or listen — it helps us out more than you know.

American League Won It, Philly Crushed It!

The 2026 All-Star Game, held on America's 250th birthday, felt like the perfect celebration of baseball. While the game itself didn't exactly produce fireworks, the atmosphere made it unforgettable.

Jeff and Tim were both at the ballpark, experiencing the game from two very different perspectives, and they break it all down with their biggest takeaways and favorite Quirkjians from one incredible night. Plus, don't miss a couple of fun "On This Date in Baseball History" stories and the answer to this week's trivia question: Who are the best pitcher and hitter whose last names begin with the letter Q?
