    Episode 64. Closed on Sundays Ft. Marc Raimondi (ESPN Falcons beat writer)

    Oh, the high highs and low lows of Week 1. Josh Allen and 41-year-old Matt Prater may have already put together the best game of the regular season, the Chiefs crumbled against the Chargers and Aaron Rogers and Daniel Jones got their redemption. ESPN Falcons beat writer Marc Raimondi is on to talk about the team's trials and tribulations, Michael Penix Jr., and if this is the year the drought ends. They also discuss his book on NWO wrestling, "Say Hello To the Bad Guys." If you, too, did the D-Generation X crotch chop, smelled what the Rock was cooking, and believed It's True, this episode is for you.  Yell at us Follow us on Twitter/X: https://x.com/FTLLTC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ftlltc_podcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== B Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/firsttimelistener.bsky.social

    Episode 63. The NOT SEXY Chiefs. Ft. Rustin Dodd (Star of 'The Kingdom' episode 1 / the athletic)

    Are you...are you ready for some football? Week 1 is upon us and The Athletic's Rustin Dodd is on to talk about the Chiefs' evolution, whether the Bills can finally break through, and if Jessica Pegula could be the key to the Bills finally winning a Super Bowl. Speaking of Pegula, the U.S. Open is in full swing (get it? It's a pun), and Rustin breaks down the remaining pool. Finally: Love Is Blind UK did it. It actually did it. It managed to have the most DRAMATIC episode yet.

    Episode 62. A Coney and Chili 3 Way. Ft, C. Trent Rosecrans (The Athletic)

    We're in the stretch run and things are getting wild. The Athletic's C. Trent Rosecrans is on to talk about the upstart Reds, the Tito Effect, and some of the elements that could allow them to sneak into the playoffs (and maybe leapfrog the Mets). Plus, Craig Counsell tells a whopper, and now the Cubs are in their own buger-gate, football is around the corner, and Cole and Laura dive into Love is Blind UK and learn to follow their spleens.

    Episode 61. Baseball o Softball Ft. Veronica Alvarez (A's front office/ USA Women's Baseball)

    Jen Pawol made her debut as the first woman to umpire an MLB game and that's pretty cool. A's front office executive and USA women's baseball head coach Veronica Alvarez talks about Pawol, growing the sport among girls and women, beefing up the A's Latin American player development, and her journey up the ranks. Also, Laura's on the front line for the Mets' tailspin, and she has some thoughts. Cole doesn't think the Brewers are for real. And Bachelor in Paradise is going off the rails, but aren't we all.

    Episode 60. FyreBall Ft. Mike Wilson (Knoxville Sentinel)

    Cheeseless Nachos. Bunless Dogs. Knoxville Sentinel reporter Mike Wilson is on to share tales from the Speedway Classic - the Reds/Braves game staged on a NASCAR Racetrack that took two days to complete, ran out of concessions, and had fans calling it the Fyre Fest of baseball. Except...it was still pretty cool. Laura and Cole get into trade deadline chaos, the UFL's new angel donor, and the Naked Gun movie. This is our hill, and these are our beans!

    Episode 59. Hey, Judas Ft. Andy Martino (SNY Analyst)

    Emmanuel Clase is under investigation for gambling and this may affect baseball far more than his trade deadline value. SNY analyst and baseball insider Andy Martino talks about Clase, the ramifications of a potential gambling scandal, the outlook for a 2027 lockout, the trade deadline...and The Beatles, of course. Are the Yankees flirting with being sellers? Also: Laura and Cole discover the Women's Football Alliance and go down a St. Louis Slam rabbit hole, the Liberty are in trouble, and AI is being evil (again).  Yell at us Follow us on Twitter/X: https://x.com/FTLLTC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ftlltc_podcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== B Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/firsttimelistener.bsky.social

    Episode 58. Apologies to Dana Delany Ft. Larry Fleisher (AP & Field Level Media)

    Did the media break Anthony Volpe?! We talk to the Associated Press and Field Level Media baseball reporter Larry Fleisher about the state of the Yankees with 10 days until the trade deadline. Cole and Laura think the WNBA should, in fact, pay their players what they owe them, and discuss the future of the league with CBA negotiations in swing. Also, the Mets retired David Wright's number and honored him by...playing like the 2013 Mets. Finally: The Goldens have joined Bachelor in Paradise. Do cougars roam on the sandy shores of Mexico?   Yell at us Follow us on Twitter/X: https://x.com/FTLLTC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ftlltc_podcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== B Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/firsttimelistener.bsky.social

    Episode 57. Homer Run Derby Ft. Mike Price ('The Simpsons' exec producer/writer)

    It's the All-Star break, so what better time to...go into Simpsons lore? Simpsons writer and producer (and serious Mets fan) Mike Price is on to talk about the show's Emmy nominations Tuesday morning, this season's baseball episode, favorite moments, and how Mets fandom has influenced his writing. Cole and Laura chat about the Big Dumper's big dumping at the Home Run Derby, and the rough, rough ESPN broadcast. They also look around MLB at the break. Finally, please, keep your PDA out of airplanes. Laura is begging you.  Yell at us Follow us on Twitter/X: https://x.com/FTLLTC Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ftlltc_podcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== B Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/firsttimelistener.bsky.social
