    468. What the hell is [THIS]? - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast

    The MLBPA lost a really dumb president for a really dumb reason, it seems only fitting that Matt Shaw is practicing in right field, the Cubs could use a real bench bat still and the Cubs are obsessed with Alex Bregman's intangibles. Oleg and Praz are on hand to talk it all over, as well as the Cubs newest bad promotional campaign, some great and some really odd ballpark giveaways. They give former Cubs great Ron Mahay some love, and say goodbye to Robert Duvall, uncover a secret baseball movie and Oleg and Andy bore Praz at the end with F1 talk.

    467. Remember This Crap - All-Time Cubs Firstbasemen - Pointless Exercise Podcast

    For a team that is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year the Cubs haven't had that many regular first basemen in their history, and that's a very good thing. First base has been manned mostly by real Hall of Famers or Utility Tunnel of Famers for much of the team's existence. Andy and Mike D. are here to break them all down from Cap Anson to Frank Chance to Jolly Cholly Grimm to modern day heroes like Mark Grace, Derrek Lee, Anthony Rizzo and Frank Schwindel. Oh, don't worry, there are some bums to make fun of, too.

    466. Our favorite Cubs - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast

    Oleg and Praz are here to discuss how good the current Cubs really are, and then get into a long discussion about their favorite Cubs. Derrek Lee was on MLB Network's morning show last week to list his favorites, and he did such a terrible job that the guys are here to set things straight.

    465. Too much is not enough - Pointless Exercise Cubs Podcast

    The Cubs have done nice work since our last podcast, adding Edward Cabrera and Alex Bregman, but Oleg and Praz are here to discuss what else the Cubs should do. Praz has some first-hand accounts from Cubs Convention. Tyler Austin might not want to rent a place in town just yet. Kyle Tucker is a Dodger and owners are so upset they're going to demand a salary cap...for the 32nd year in a row. The Cubs had a 2016 reunion and have more plans to honor them during the season, and it could get weird. There are new Utility Tunnel of Famers. Marquee's cutting back on spring broadcasts to be cheap, and even more.

    464. We'll always have the 14 yard bomb - RECRAP - Rams 20, Bears 17 - Pointless Exercise Podcast

    The Bears mounted another crazy comeback, highlighted by the most ridiculous Caleb pass of a season full of them, but they lost in OT to the Rams 20-17. Oleg joins Andy on the podcast to sift through the aftermath of the game and the season and look forward to a Bears future is actually really bright. They somehow get sidetracked into also talking about Timothy Busfield, The Andy Griffith Show, an Aunt Bea-Opie love grandchild, the Cubs Convention and much more.

    JAN 16

    463. Bregmania - Pointless Exercise Baseball Podcast

    The Cubs did stuff and picked an obvious, but rare for them, direction by trading an overrated prospect for an upside starting pitcher and then spent some of their "wheelbarrows of cash" on a real hitter. David Brown is here to discuss what the Cubs do with Nico Hoerner and Matt Shaw, where Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger and Boba Chette end up. How the Red Sox completely bungled the Bregman-Rafael Devers thing to an epic proportion (even for them). Scott Boras does not seem like a guy you want doing any electrical work on your home. And Dave reveals and explains his real-life MLB Hall of Fame ballot. And more.

    462. A glorious blur - Bears 31, Packers 27 - Playoffs RECRAP - Pointless Exercise Podcast

    What just happened? Oleg and Andy do a live pod in the afterglow of the most ridiculous Bears win in a season of them. They shocked the Packers with 25 fourth quarter points to complete an epic comeback and move on. Caleb Williams went into hero mode in the fourth quarter, the Bears defense finally showed up and it was chaotic and confusing and just the greatest thing ever. And...the Cubs signed Alex Bregman! We discuss it all and struggle to remember what happened when. What a night.

    461. Cubs Convention Preview - Pointless Exercise Podcast

    Oleg and Praz are here to predict where the remaining top free agents are likely headed (don't worry Jed, we only gave you one), and we play a fun game of "Is this a real Cubs Convention session?" We talk about the 2016 Cubs reunion, the boring podcast hosted at the convention (not this one), and we get really excited when we figure out who the two most likely new inductees into the Cubs' Utility Tunnel of Fame are until we realize who the second one most likely is. All that, plus NBC's hiring announcers for its baseball coverage.
