In this episode, the hosts discuss the ongoing Blue Jays vs. Dodgers World Series, analyzing Game 2 as a pitcher's duel where the Dodgers lead 5-1 after home runs and Yamamoto's six-pitch dominance. They explore game theory in pitching, randomization strategies, and series predictions, favoring a competitive matchup with the Jays potentially winning at least one in LA.
Shifting to the NBA, they cover emerging scandals involving rigged poker games and point-shaving, debating deterrents like lifetime bans. Early season takeaways include the Thunder's overtime wins, Houston's surprising height and shooting (e.g., Sengun's 3s), the Warriors' fun style, and the Pacers' potential with Haliburton's possible return. They discuss their Nostr Fantasy Basketball league, NBA Emirates Cup survivor pool, and a disappointing 2019 NBA Draft redraft, highlighting Zion Williamson as the top but injury-plagued pick.
NFL talk focuses on the Raiders' embarrassing loss to the Chiefs (e.g., low plays and possession time), a "which happens first" on NFL records, the 49ers' injury woes yet strong coaching, survivor pool updates, and crossing off teams like the Browns and Cardinals from playoff contention. They touch on trade deadline rumors, coaching fits, and upcoming games.
The episode ends with predicts markets, NFL standings, and a fun Blue Jays-themed outro song Easter egg.
Okay, Blue Jays, let's play ball.
Is that your team or are you just supporting your countrymen?
Not a baseball guy, don't have a baseball team. I'm just jumping on the bandwagon like every other Canadian bandwagoner.
Also, showing that I listen to the end whenever I do find time to listen to your podcast.
Glad to have on you on the bandwagon.
Awesome to be riding on it! Nice song btw.
Haha. Ok Blue Jays song has been around for 40 years but I did take some liberties to modernize the lyrics.
You were playing the guitar, right?
Yes
