California Post columnist Dylan Hernandez and guest David Vassegh hold down the fort in Minneapolis while Jack Harris enjoys a luxury vacation.

The guys break down a chaotic series opener in Minnesota, starting with Kyle Tucker’s sudden exit due to lower back spasms and the mounting fan panic over his massive $240 million contract.

Dylan dives deep into his latest column translating Shohei Ohtani’s candid interview with trusted Japanese media, highlighting Ohtani’s desire for a "thicker" pitching career over longevity and the hilariously public critique from his own father.

Finally, the show completely derails into Vassegh recounting his infamous bank teller firing , a blunt review of Dylan’s facial hair from the letters section , and a high-stakes slate of mid-week weather and strikeout predictions.
