It’s International Podcast Day, and we’re celebrating in style! The Cubs are back in the playoffs, facing the Padres for the first time in 40 years, and the ghosts of 1984 are haunting Wrigley like it’s Halloween. Meanwhile, the Cardinals’ season mercifully ended in a brutal sweep at Wrigley, the Bears simultaneously traumatize and inspire the faithful, and both Newcastle and City lost in jaw-dropping fashion.

The Cubs are limping into October. The Bears exact revenge on Matt Eberflus. St. Louis City keeps winning whenever Ron isn’t watching. Newcastle United hands Ron the result he hates most: a nil-nil draw. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are already planning for 2026.

Join Ron, Elliott, and Pete for all the chaos, snark, and sports analysis you didn’t know you needed.

Anthony Rizzo threw himself the retirement party of the century, and the guys can’t help but linger on Cubs talk longer than usual. Eventually, they pivot to St. Louis, where Masyn Winn has shut it down after a second torn meniscus.

Ron delivers his first completely positive Soccer Minute of the season: new Newcastle kicks, wins for both the Magpies and City, and even a Messi sighting as Charlotte knocked off Miami.

To wrap it all up, the crew forces themselves to relive Sunday’s disaster in Detroit, where the Bears flat-out forgot to play the second half.
