As we record on Sunday night, there is a lot going on. And as Mike says, the new year doesn't start until Tuesday because he doesn't have students until then. And Bob posts the show on Wednesday... We hash out a number of things, including the NFL games of the week, the bowl season that lasts longer than the regular season and some other things as they come to us. Bob did not take notes again. Some would say that this would be the first show of season 3 for us, but we are calling it the final ep...

The gang of three get together again this week and talk about a lot, or at least for a long time. Bob and Mike recap the weekend that was in Tulsa and Adam talks about what it is like to have a daughter turn 8. We all have some laughs during both of these segments. We turn to the NFL quickly so we can spend time talking about the upcoming bowl season, leaving out the CFP for the most part. There are a few match ups that we are interested in, but mostly it is the length of the bowl season and nam...

The gang is all here again and we get started right out of the gate with the Adam rule being broken. Put your headphones on now! This week there is football talk, both college and pro, some MLB post season awards and some other things. Since we recorded on Monday and Bob is now posting on Friday, he has forgotten what was discussed. All the more reason to listen or watch! One thing that was not discussed was umpiring. I am not sure how we took a week off, but this will be corrected in our next e...

Welcome to the post season. We recorded on Monday so Adam decided to watch his beloved Bears fall in the last minute of the Monday Night game instead of joining us...I poke. Although he does not join us, Mike and Bob carry on and start out by doing the exact opposite of what our name claims we do. Focus does return towards the end, so if you are brave, stick it out and enjoy the show. NFL recap happens, which includes a Packers fan giving Chiefs Kingdom the honest breakdown of the Sunday game, a...

This week everyone is back and so the conversation runs off track even more than normal! Of course we talk about the League Championship Series and our joy of the Dodgers being eliminated while making our picks for the World Series. We are posting now so that you could not use our information as a tool to place any wagers and then blame us for being wrong. We discuss the week that was in the NFL, including the hit on KC's QB (Mike's reaction is classic!) and poke a little bit at the Seattle NHL ...

There is no promotion this week, but there is a new crew chief. It appears that Bob runs them off pretty quick! As you have come to expect when Michael is not a part of the show, Adam and Bob talk hockey and WWE, although they are short conversations this week. Time is of course spent on the MLB playoffs and some NFL talk again just for some change. Thanks to Anchor.fm by Spotify for putting this show on the most popular podcast platforms, even if you have to work hard to find us! They do it for...

Adam is out of commission this week so Mike and Bob get demoted back to a 2-man crew. Even though we blame Adam for the length of our shows, apparently that is not 100% true as you will see. For the record, Adam is fine as is the family, but any positive energy, prayers and vibes you would be willing to send his way would be appreciated. He will be back soon, and the rule will become relevant again. Topics this week are a couple of plays in the MLB playoffs, a couple of plays in the Packers game...

We are back for another meeting of the minds where only one shows up. Sure am glad we have Mike on board with this project... Playoff baseball starts (or started in this case) and we have some input. Of course we talk about umpires as well. Maybe I should just leave that part out going forward since it seems to be a regular thing. Mixology with Mike is here as well, and it sticks to the few ingredient rule. We also find out that Bob and Adam are not fans. Make sure you check out the video on Fac...

We are getting the band back together and boy do we have a lot to catch up on! Bob and Mike worked baseball this last weekend, so there are stories from the yard, including how Bob tries to keep himself off the field, we cover some interesting things in the MLB umpire world and confirm that Adam and Bob are now fans of the Brew Crew for the remainder of the baseball season. Mixology with Mike is back, and we are posting this episode on Thursday for a reason. All umpires and old men are encourage...

Everyone is present and accounted for this week! Mike has come back from the valley and Adam figures out a way to get the kids to bed early enough that we can attempt to Get To The Point. We do talk about baseball, a little more that what was planned probably, and then get into the new and ever changing landscape of what is happening with college football and the conference line up, as it stands this week anyway. Make sure you check us out at Anchor.fm. They take the pig that we call a podcast, ...

Adam is a no show because he decided that recording day was for golf and not the show, so Mike and Bob take off and try to entertain. While a tease was issued for a discussion on the college football changes caused by the two schools that should not be named and the conference that thinks they are king, we only touch on it with Adam being gone to be fair and allow for a full panel discussion. And besides, we are confident that the drama is not over and something else will be said/done this week!...
Aug 30, 2021•56 min
Disclaimer - We did not call the show this just because Adam joins us again this week, although it was his idea... We are back with a new episode this week from Sunday and the gang is all here! We talk a little baseball (do I really need to put this in the description?), health issues, getting older, school, and how umpires support each other no matter what they are going through! Just listen and you will understand. As always, Anchor.fm is putting this show out on all of the podcast platforms f...

At least one of them. This was recorded on August 3rd so who knows what we talked about. Give it a listen and let us know. Adam joins late and just in time for some topic, I do remember that. Thanks again to Anchor.fm for putting this on the interweb and all of the podcast platforms like Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Spotify and anything else you can think of. Jump over to their site and check out what else they have, give us a rating and subscribe so you can hear what we have to say, even though i...

This may be taken in a couple of ways, but Adam does not join this week, so maybe not. Mike has completed a couple of days in the classroom for the year so we get an update from him. We talk a little baseball (go figure) and Mixology with Mike is back. This is a pretty short episode so I will be posting the "lost episode" as well this weekend. We figure you need more of us so we are adding to the delight. This episode was recorded on 8/15, so remember that when you listen. Answers to some of the...

Here we are in August and the local baseball season has come to an end. At least at the level where we spend most of our time. We put a bow on what we have been doing as well as looking forward to what baseball will look like for us in the fall and winter. Mike is getting ready for school to start and already needed a nap. Adam is trying to figure out what life without daycare will be like for a week and Bob is contemplating his return to the gym. We are thankful for Anchor.fm for taking the mes...

That is where Mike is, we think. So you get Adam and Bob this week. We apologize for not getting something posted last week, but you know...life happens. We hit a lot of baseball this week, including the trade deadline, standings and the Yankees in MLB. Bob took the field for the first time this season over the last weekend and yes he can still walk. As expected, there is a lot of talk and not much direction when these two get together. However, make sure you stay until the end because Adam pays...

We are not talking about ourselves, because we can at least be honest with ourselves. But since it is Tuesday night and the MLB All Star game is being played, we figured it was the perfect time for us to record this show. We are NL guys and we all know the NL cannot win in the Summer Showcase, so why bother watching right? There is a lot of baseball talk on this episode, but then why not? We also touch on hockey, WWF/E and the NFL. We also give our two cents (because we cannot afford much more!)...

We start with two, we end with three and some wish we would just end. However we are back with another show that really goes nowhere fast and forever. It all starts with the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and how Adam locks in every year. We also mention a potential new member to the Mostly Useless Pancreases Club. The conversation then spirals down to what is the best hot dog and how Nebraska needs to get over themselves. Seinfeld celebrates an anniversary as we are recording and since it is A...

We are back to a three man crew thanks to Mother Nature. Due to rain in late June, which we always want but never get, the boys got together on Tuesday night to bring this disaster your way! Early notice that Adam calls Bob a bad name early in the episode and so we want to remind you to put your headphones in or make sure you are not within earshot of anyone else. This is commonly known as the Adam Rule with a Mike addendum. You have been warned. Baseball of course is the topic of the day and we...

So Adam takes the week off as he prepares to travel for a "leadership" conference which means that Bob and Mike are your distraction for the week. We start out fairly lighthearted as we talk about baseball (go figure) and Mixology with Michael (or Mike) makes a return. This one will catch you off guard but is somewhat wholesome. There is some discussion of economics, hence the intelligence of the show. We also spend some time talking about setting, missing, recalculating and reaching goals. It s...

So we take a week off and then Adam and Bob find a way to get together for a "short" episode. Both of us were tired and wanted to go short even though Packard, through the wonder or text messaging, was prompting us to go for 1:45! Good thing he was in the "Mile High" state. Baseball of course is the topic for this week and we wondered all over it. A little bit of talk regarding the NCAA Super Regionals and a local umpire who is climbing the ladder to Omaha. We are brought to you by Anchor.fm if ...

We are posting a day late due to the holiday, life and a first for Packard! We did not want to out him until after the fact, so make sure you listen for this big event. This episode is big on baseball and the screwy things that the game we love gave us over the last week. We also learn that we should use the song "The Streak" when we introduce Adam. Thanks to Anchor.fm for hosting this show on a number of podcast platforms including Spotify and Google Podcast. They actual give us a little bit of...

This week we come together again, in a hurry! It was a long weekend for all of us and so the show is short this week...well, short for us anyway! Mixology with Mike is back, although there is not much mixing going on, lots of baseball talk including Joe West, no hitters and the best team in baseball. There is a quick test to see if Adam is really a Kansan (answers may surprise you!) and the normal shots fired between each other. Enjoy this and all of our shows on Anchor.fm, who is our sponsor an...

The Three Man Crew is back again for another episode where nothing seems to come together, at least when it should. Adam and Mike are in a race, a quick recap of how the Padres swept the Cardinals, umpire talk and of course no real direction to the show. Mixology with Mike is back with another sweet drink and the debut of a new segment, maybe, where a baseball play is described and then the explanation of the rule is given...a little later. There is talk of a name change, since "Get To The Point...

Well, maybe, but there are three of us this time and I have to say we had a blast! Mixology with Mike is here again with another rum drink that actually follows the rule and sounds pretty good. We talk about the success of a showcase Saturday at League 42 and what a League 42 burger actually is. Some umpire shenanigans are mentioned and a historic day at League 42. It was a good week! Time is well spent as we made fun of the Dodgers for not winning, quickly discussed Albert being without a team ...

So the crew changed but the story is the same. Bob and Mike get together this week to talk about the week that was in their lives and what they think of things. The good news about Mike being on the show is that we have another "Mixology with Mike" segment, even though he breaks the ingredient rule, and it sounds pretty good. This is one that Bob's wife might like (spoiler alert - it has rum in it!). Bob took the field for the first time this year in the same tournament that Mike and Adam worked...

No Drinking with Mike segment this week as he passed out, thanks to working a lot of baseball not his beverages, but Adam and Bob chat for a little bit about the last week of life. We reference the possibility of a 2nd show this week for Bob and Mike to get together but Mother Nature actually was kind and let us play baseball so no go with that idea. Of course there is more talk about the MLB and the 19 game World Series between the Dodgers and Padres. Thanks to Anchor.fm for taking this nonsens...

We are back for our last episode recorded on a Tuesday, at least for a while. With baseball starting we are moving our recording nights to Sunday so you will see episodes hit on Monday night or Tuesday morning. You are not getting rid of us, at least not that easily! Now, something shiny is the wonderful statue of Jackie Robinson that was unveiled in McAdams Park by League 42, which we are all a part of. Adam and Bob both have stories about their experiences with the statue and those who have se...

This week we get to talk about Major League Baseball and Opening Week(end). What we liked and didn't as well as some geeky umpire stuff that you have come to expect from us. Adam unveils (and Mike and Bob protest) his top 16 guitar players in a bracket format for the other two to debate. Funny thing is that there really wasn't much debate! Feel free to leave comments about who Adam left off the "top 16" list! Mixology with Michael is back but no Saints this week. He does stay below the three ing...

Now that we remember how to do this, we shorten up our time but keep true to our traditions of being all over the place and not really closing any topic down. Bob "failed" his umpire test and we find out that Mike "FAILED" his test that he took in 15 minutes. Guess he is a better teacher than student! We have a blessing bestowed in our "Drinking with the Saints" segment and the race is on between Mike and Adam early. Remember we are NSFW or those under the age of 18, so be sure to have this show...
