Is This Real? | S9E19

Pete's back, and he has questions.

With Elliott mere hours away from vacation and madly packing the Family Truckster, Ron and Pete dive deep into the world of baseball and beyond, tackling everything from the clown show in St. Louis to the Cubs' continued early-season success to the Cardinals' surprising stretch of good baseball. The show starts with a disheartening Soccer Minute as Ron delivers a perfectly-timed rant on City's lack of direction. The duo then shares their thoughts on the Cubs' "other" superstar and whether he can maintain his impressive form as the season progresses. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they reminisce about past baseball stars and compare them to the current crop of talent, pondering the significance of superstars in today’s game. They also touch on the importance of strong defense and how it can impact a team's success.

Elliott makes a surprise appearance at the end of the show for a discussion about Andor's place in the Star Wars universe and the impact – both good and bad – of new streaming series on beloved franchises.
