At the Quarter Pole, and Is the New Pope a Cubs Fan? | S9E17

Ron and Pete trade places this week, with Pete in the role of Road Warrior, checking in from Orlando, Florida. That's why this week's pod recorded during their original Thursday night slot. With both the Cubs and Cardinals nearing Ron's critical 40-game mark, it's only a little too early for the guys to engage in a spirited debate about the performance of both teams. Ron shares his cautious optimism about the Cardinals, who have clawed their way back to .500, while Elliot is excited about the Cubs' surprising success despite MLB's most difficult month. The conversation takes a humorous turn as the trio discusses the arbitrariness of Ron's 40-game rule, and they reflect on the potential futures of key players like Nolan Arenado and Matthew Liberatore. As the discussion unfolds, they ponder the implications of recent player performances – yes, you, Jordan Walker – and speculate on the trade deadline strategies for both teams. "Ron's Soccer Minute" returns, with Ron lamenting City's recent struggles in MLS, highlighted by their recent disappointing performances. The episode wraps up with a lively discussion about the latest season of Andor, as Ron and Elliot attempt to convince Pete to give the show a chance, promising that it's a must-watch for any Star Wars fan.
