Baseball has been rained out and Dusty Baker is losing his mind. In honor of no playoff baseball we do an emergency Mt Rushmore of rainy day activities ( - ). Hot Seat/Cool Throne ( - ). Denver Bronco Von Miller joins the show to talk about the NFL, his sack dances, fart fines, and twitter trolls ( - ). Segments include Protest Power Rankings, Hurt or Injured, the saddest Talking Soccer of all time, Embrace Debate, and guys on chicks.

LeBron James should play for the US Men's Soccer team

LeBron actually should play for us. If you were to take the best NFL athletes... could the Chiefs qualify for the World Cup under the instruction of Andy Reid?

LeBron James never played professional soccer; this is a classic sports hypothetical.

A manager getting ejected rallies the team like a big hit in hockey

When a manager gets kicked out, it rallies the troops like a big hit in hockey.

This is a subjective psychological claim about team momentum that cannot be definitively proven.

Theo Epstein's Cubs strategy includes installing black mold in the visitor's clubhouse

If you know anything about Theo Epstein, his plan is to draft impact bats, find pitchers in the free agent market, and install black mold in the visitor's clubhouse.

This is clearly a joke about gamesmanship; there is no evidence the Cubs intentionally installed mold.

Joel Embiid is a bad contract because his knees won't let him play

They just paid Joel Embiid like $150 million, even though his knees are terrible and he's probably not going to play.

While Embiid did struggle with injuries, the contract proved to be an incredible value as he became an MVP and perennial All-Star.

Mark Ingram... he won the battle of who's going to be the bigger head on the two-headed running back committee in New Orleans... Adrian Peterson is out in Arizona.

Correct, Peterson was traded to Arizona on Oct 10, 2017, leaving Ingram and Kamara as the lead backs.

The 'Golden Age' of podcasts is over now that people are making wedding planning podcasts

The couple that met because one was a fan of his podcast and then they're getting married and they're creating a podcast together about going through the wedding planning. That right there is like if you could think of the most stereotypical podcast podcast. It is over, boys. It is all done.

The podcast industry continued to grow exponentially for years after this statement.

The chicken definitely came before the egg

I think it had to be the chicken. How did that chicken get made if there was going to be an egg? ... I feel like [God] just created the chicken and boom, the egg was next.

This is a philosophical and biological debate that depends on definitions of 'chicken egg' vs 'egg from a chicken'.

There has never been a quarterback better at playing the position than Peyton Manning

When it comes to quarterback, being a quarterback and quarterbacking in the National Football League, there hasn't been a quarterback better than Peyton Manning. ... coming up to the line, being a quarterback, there's not a greater quarterback than Peyton Manning.

Subjective GOAT debate, though Manning is widely considered one of the top 3-5 all time.

If I played offense I would be a tight end because I know how to beat defensive coverages

I'd probably be a tight end. That's a position that I know. I guard tight ends every single day. ... I understand what works, what doesn't work, how to beat the guys on defense because that's where my foundation is.

Subjective hypothetical.

Mark Sanchez running into someone's butt is the only thing that can heal the world right now

We need Mark Sanchez to run into someone's butt. That's the only thing that can bring this world back together. ... run the butt fumble play every single down until it happens.

Sam Bradford is officially 'injured' because wear and tear on a knee is a significant injury

I'm going to say this is actually injured. Like, wear and tear is, that's significant. That's a full injury.

Bradford only played two games in 2017 and his knee issues effectively ended his tenure as a reliable starter.
