    Pittsburgh Pirates

    Ryan is joined by Dr. David Mego, a native Pittsburgher, to talk all things Pirates. Ryan recounts his 2024 family trip to see PNC Park, while Dr. Mego recalls taking his would-be wife to a Pirates game at Three Rivers Stadium many years ago, and believing a Willie Stargell home run to be a sign that it was meant to be! It was a timely episode to record, as the Pirates relieved their manager Derek Shelton just prior to recording. Dr. Mego, who watches every Pirates game on MLB.TV, believes interim manager Don Kelly will have the respect of the Pirates players, as he's not far removed from his playing days. The two reminisce about Pirates from Jeff King to Mike LaValliere to Jason Kendall, and wonder if the team will do what it takes to sign Paul Skenes long-term. Youth correspondents John and Edie Glanzer give their two cents on all important Pirates matters.

    St Louis Cardinals

    Ryan is joined by special guest Dan Sinnett, a lifelong Cardinals fan who was literally buying 1987 World Series tickets at age 2, as he explains! Ryan recalls a recent visit to Busch Stadium where he sat with the family of Tommy Edman, while Dan relives getting swept up in McGwire's home run chase of '98. The guys talk greatest and most painful Cardinals moments in recent history (2011 and 1985, of course), debate the franchise's biggest legends (Gibson? Musial? McGee?), and many more topics, from Jack Buck to Fredbird. Youth correspondent John Glanzer, in first place in his fantasy baseball league, gives a strong report on his four Cardinal players, while Edie Glanzer colorfully describes the team's logo.

    Philadelphia Phillies

    Ryan forged onward with recording despite a nasty cold, talking all things Phillies with lifelong fan Derek Dienner. Ryan recalls rooting for the Phillies in the 1993 World Series, why he became a fan of Lenny Dykstra at the time, and how Always Sunny made the team more likable. Derek discusses his daughter's fear of the Phillie Phanatic, why Jimmy Rollins is so underrated, and offers a colorful analogy for the Phillies' City Connect uniforms. On the Youth Correspondent segment, John praises reliever Matt Strahm, while Edie makes an interesting guess as to what a Phillie actually is! If you can stomach listening to Ryan with his voice at 60% health, then you'll love our Phillies episode!
