This month, we're Talkin' Softball and covering the penultimate episode of season three! When Hank becomes the coach of Buck Strickland's softball team, he recruits Peggy to be their pitcher; but his overbearing coaching style causes her to lose all of her mojo. And while this is happening, Bobby enters a fierce cookie arms race to win Connie over in the finale of their "will they or won't they" plot. So listen in and prepare to be amused by two podcasts hosts dangerously unequipped to talk about sports!

Supporting Bob in his brave and correct stance that Girl Scout Cookies suck ass. I buy them out of a stupid sense of duty, cuz the Girl Scouts support a lot of great things for young women, and even trans youths. But those cookies are all duds.

Spinning around in office chairs? Did you mean “Cincinnati Time Waste?”

Pickleball is tennis that gave up on its dreams. I low key hate it because it's made numerous tennis courts very confusing as they've added pickleball lines to them and the courts are just littered with people who want to pretend to play sports but don't want to run. If you want to play tennis, play tennis. And if you want to play tennis and not run, table tennis already exists!

My finger was hovering over the unsubscribe button after Bob's derogatory Thin Mints comments, but won me back with pizza Hut nostalgia

I think there is no way they kill Buck in the revival, at least not acknowledged on screen. They've had way too much real life death with their cast for them to want to joke about it or even acknowledge it IMO

🧁 Cupcake pro tip. Cut horizontally through the middle. Take the bottom half and place on top. Frosting sandwich. Even distribution and cake protection layer for teeth. 🦷

In baseball lingo, "Chin Music" isn't beaning or a direction to pitch high. It's a tactic employed by pitchers to throw near, but not at, the batter's head in a bid to back them away from the plate and just generally make them scared to step back into the box. It's referred to as chin music because it gets them to move their feet like they're dancing, sort of like the old cowboy bit where they shoot at a guy's feet. And yes, no catching the ball with your hat for an out, nor can you throw your glove at the ball. You can catch the ball bare-handed and have it count as an out, but that's obviously much harder and more painful. And corking a wooden bat for added oomph is one of those myths that's been debunked over the years, though it's still illegal to do in Major League Baseball.

Not even Thin Mints. I'm not a crunchy cookie fan in general. I like em chewy and medium rare in the middle.

I most associate Kurt Bevacqua as the subject of Dodgers manager Tommy LaSorda's expletive-laden rant. ("Bevacqua couldn't hit water if he fell out of a fucking boat!")

Baking tip: if you want a more buttery cookie, don't do what Bobby don't does. Butter has a significant amount of water emulcified into it. Doubling it will likely result in a very thin, oily cookie. Your best bet is to either brown the butter or use ghee, aka Indian butter. Both will have a richer, nuttier flavor. It also helps to rest the dough for 2-3 days in the fridge. This lets the other flavors in it meld in the butter fats, enhancing the taste.

Also, Peggy probably would be challenging for a former pro to hit. You can find lots of clips of college softball pitchers throwing strikes against pros. This is because the pitching at the pro level is so fast, hitters can't actually react to the pitch in time. Instead they learn to react to the motion before the release and swing to where the ball is likely to go. The mechanics of softball pitching are so different and the speed so much slower, a good softball pitch throws off all that muscle memory.

Bob borrowing Peanuts from the library takes me back. In elementary school they had a ton of Peanuts books in the library which I borrowed almost exclusively for years until the librarian caught on and cut me off.

In baseball, there is a term for this phenomenon of a player loosing their ability to pitch, like what happens to Peggy, called “the yips”. It tends to usually be psychological. The more you think about not pitching bad, the worse you pitch. It also applies to other positions. Steve Sax once had a historically bad case of the yips, where he could no longer make routine throws to first base. That might explain all those murders he did in New York City. Also, adult softball leagues are alive and well. I can confirm because… I’m in one. This week my team “Steal Yo Pitch” is playing our heated rival “Where the Pitches At?”. We are apparently not an imaginative bunch.

RIP to Sid Eudy, AKA Sid Vicious pro wrestling legend, but even legendary adult softball player. He allegedly was known to take time off the WWF and WCW schedule to play in his softball league.

Poor Charlie Brown. Podcasters will admit that nobody on Charlie's team ever takes his advice, then immediately say he should take the blame for all their losses. x___x
