| 0:00.0 | Alright, we got breakout running backs. We've got home run myths and we got the craziest MVP award ever handed out. |
| 0:09.0 | But enough about Adrian's pink thong on the Bachelorette. |
| 0:12.0 | Oh, underdog's podcast coming next. |
| 0:15.0 | We've cried goes up hook far and near for underdog. Underdog. |
| 0:20.0 | Half-now going on right now. Wow, up to show five fucking fighters against the game. |
| 0:25.0 | Oh, my God, George. The dream is alive. Underdog. |
| 0:32.0 | And I guess there's only one thing left to do. When the whole fucking thing. |
| 0:39.0 | It's the underdogs. We're back. Jordan Brenner, Peter Keating. How are you doing today, Peter? Happy belated Fourth of July. |
| 0:47.0 | Happy Independence Day, Jordan. I hope you got your wish for Independence Day unless it was to be independent of me. |
| 0:53.0 | I was literally about to make that joke, but you beat me to it as always. |
| 0:58.0 | Peter, we didn't stop us from putting together a fun show for today. I know you've got some awesome thoughts on the home run Derby couple picks and a couple myths to dispel. |
| 1:09.0 | And obviously the Bachelorette is going again. We've got a couple thoughts on that. |

| 2:36.0 | Josh Jacobs, there were rumors of him losing carries. Instead, he had his most efficient season ever. He doubled his rushing yards. So some of this is just you can't predict baseball season, right? |
