Baseball's Unwritten Rules R Secretly Dumb

There are a lot of rules in baseball. Some of them are clearly stated, while others are unwritten, but everyone is just supposed to know. This episode is about that latter category.

We also share some of our ideal home run celebrations. Because hitting a home run is hard work, and we should celebrate accordingly. And this play from Francisco Lindor while being interviewed is super cool!

Plus, a misunderstood tweet from DeSean Jackson and a silly sports cliche about who you should be paying attention to. Also, here's that Bojack Horseman sign joke video we talked about.

Player Flops R Painfully Dumb

If you've been keeping an eye on the NBA playoffs, you might have noticed an alarming trend: an increase in flopping. Nobody wants to watch a game with people falling down like dominoes, led by future Hall of Famer Chris Paul.

Plus, remember when Chris Rock was randomly at the Dave Chappelle show where the latter comedian got attacked? That was weird.

Also, a look at when the ambulance used to run over players in games of Madden (shout out to this wonderful runaway cart ), a geographically absurd tweet from Magic Johnson, and a silly sports cliche about how often we should take things.

Soccer Offsides Calls R Anatomically Dumb

Have you ever thought there should be more goals in soccer? Soccer officials sure don't — and they'll call offsides penalties whenever they have a chance, often eliminating a score in the process. Video Assistant Referees (VAR) aren't helping the issue, either. Sean finds that pretty darn dumb. On the plus side, there are no commercial breaks aside from halftime and that is awesome.

We also dive back into sports fandom, which we've covered in previous episodes. But there's more sadness to be had. And the Slime Monster is back!

Plus, a direct tweet from Mitchell Trubisky, and a silly sports cliche about Z.
