Increase Revenue Across Three Fiscal Hog Moons

Drew and Roth are podcasting from Atlantic City, so this episode is extra impressive considering they’re glued to slot machines for the whole recording. In the first half, they’re previewing the World Series, giving a final eulogy for the 2024 Mets, and wondering how Yankees-y are these Yankees when they pick off other teams’ best players. In the second half, they wrestle with the immortal debate of our time: do we delight in the demise of Deshaun Watson or Aaron Rogers more? And as always, they dive into the Funbag, answering real questions from real listeners.

Stuff We Talked About

• Resigned Jason Bay: "Well, I'm A Met Now" - The Onion
• Dodgers Lifehack: Just Don't Chase, Dummy | Defector
