This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

When he was elected to the Hall of Fame, he was touted as the most feared hitter of his era. But by the time the Red Sox released him 35 years ago, Rice was looking old before his time, hobbled from various injuries and poor eyesight. On the anniversary of the end of his career, Mike and Bill look back at a controversial Hall of Fame choice to figure out what all the fuss was actually about.

Plus, happy birthday to Mitch Williams and Roosevelt Harris!

And farewell to Doug Bird, Harry Chappas, Minnie Mendoza and Ed Kranepool.

Episode 361 - Pinstripes and More 1:11:53

1 day ago1:11:53

1:11:53

Over more than a century, the Yankee pinstripes have perhaps become the most iconic uniform element in all of sports, instantly identifiable to fans everywhere. And 113 years ago this week, the New York then Highlanders announced they'd be wearing them for the first time. Mike and Bill looks back at the history of the uniform pinstripes, as well as the Old English D on Tigers uniforms, the Athletics' continued association with elephants as they migrated across the country, and more! Plus, happy birthday to Ray Brown and Wilbur Cooper! And farewell to Mark Bradley, Jim Lawrence, and Brian Matusz.…

Mike accidentally deleted his description of the 6th inning and the unappreciated efforts of Frank McCormick from this week's episode, and so re-presents it here. Apologies!

Episode 360 - Random Game V 1:30:20

1:30:20

With the baseball history cupboard relatively bare this week, Mike and Bill fire up the ol' randomizer, which settles on an early season Reds and Pirates game from April 24th, 1937. In the process of talking about the game, they learn about Paul Waner, Frank McCormick, pitchers who refuse to allow home runs, batters who don't strike out, Forbes Field and more! Plus, happy birthday to Logan Hensley and Wally Pipp! And farewell to Juan Jaime, Gary Sutherland, Lenny Randle and Brent Billingsley.…

Episode 359 - The Rise and Fall of the Senior Professional Baseball Association 1:15:20

15 days ago1:15:20

1:15:20

After threatening for years, Mike and Bill finally get around to the short-lived Senior Professional Baseball Assocation to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the league's only championship. How did this glorious thing come to be and why did it fail? What happened in between? Was its downfall inevitable, or could the idea actually work today? All these questions will be answered (or at least speculated about)! Plus, happy birthday to Roger Peckinpaugh and Orval Overall. And farewell to Roberto Gomez, Jack DiLauro, Ron Locke, and Wayne Simpson.…

Episode 136 (Re-run) - The Dodgers Break Up a Good Thing 1:11:03

23 days ago1:11:03

1:11:03

There has never been an infield that has played together longer, more often, or perhaps better than the Dodgers' incredible combination of Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, and Ron Cey, a dynamic foursome that lasted 9 years and 833 starts together. But it all came to an end 38 years ago this week, when Lopes was traded away. Mike and Bill examine the long and excellent careers of all four players, together and apart, and what ended their incredible run after they finally won their championship.…

Episode 358 - Earle Combs Slides Into Cooperstown 1:30:41

29 days ago1:30:41

1:30:41

More maligned than most inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Earle Combs has developed an unfair reputation over the last decade or so as one of the worst choices of the old Veteran's Committee, 55 years ago this week. Mike and Bill look back at the Kentucky schoolmaster to see whether that reputation is warranted and find a much better player than they expected. Plus, happy birthday to Charley Gelbert and Bibb Falk! And farewell to Bob Kelly, Gail Henley, Al Fitzmorris, and Rico Carty.…

Episode 357 - The Many Lives of Bob Uecker 1:25:35

5 weeks ago1:25:35

1:25:35

In 1961, Chuck Dressen told Bob Uecker that there was no place in baseball for a clown. But Uecker proved him wrong over the next 64 years, becoming a beloved backup catcher, World Champion, scout, broadcaster, actor, raconteur and, eventually, Hall of Famer. He became the very manifestation of the American Dream, the son of an immigrant and high school dropout who found success through hard work, talent, good humor, and kindness. He turned being the butt of a joke into an art form over 90 years. This week, as Mike and Bill mourn his passing, they celebrate one of the great lives and people in baseball history. Plus, happy birthday to Jon Matlack and Chick Gandil! And farewell to Don Ferrarese, Al Ferrara, Don Young and Tommy Smith.…

Episode 356 (Re-post) - The Umpire Gets The W 1:24:06

6 weeks ago1:24:06

1:24:06

Apologies for the truncated version of this episode that appeared initially. This has been rectified in this re-posting. Bernice Gera tried exceptionally hard to become one of baseball's pioneers. And, in many ways, she succeeded when, 53 years ago this week, a court ordered the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues to hire her as the first professional female umpire in minor league history. But her story is also an indictment of the culture of baseball, as she was hounded and bullied out of the sport by the worst misogynits on and off the field after umpiring just one game. Her story is a reminder that Baseball has always resisted change, often with threats of violence, that would allow it to be more inclusive, even when that change would have no effect on the game itself. Plus, happy birthday to Ed Sartwood and Bob Forsch! And farewell to Bud Daley, Gaylen Pitts, Rudy May, and Ray Semproch.…

Episode 31 (Re-run) - Glenn Davis Gets Dealt To Baltimore 1:12:35

7 weeks ago1:12:35

1:12:35

Apologies for the re-run. Bill's family had a medical issue this week (everyone is fine, thankfully), so we are re-releasing our 2018 episode on the fascinating Glenn Davis and the disastrous trade that Orioles made to acquire him. In the long history of trades, few have ever been so disastrous for a team than the Orioles acquisition of Glenn Davis, 34 years ago this week, for Pete Harnisch, Steve Finley, and Curt Schilling. Perhaps a good idea in theory, Davis was a rising star from a horrifying childhood whose bizarre injury issues kept scuttling any chance he had of fulfilling his promise in Baltimore. (Disclaimer: This episode contains frank discussions of child abuse and suicide.)…

Either traveling or recovering from travel, Bill and Mike break format to run through the current Hall of Fame ballot, and each find themselves at least one vote short to accomodate all the deserving candidates. But will the agree on who those deserving candidates are?

Episode 98 (Re-Run) - Rickey Becomes the Greatest 1:08:39

10 weeks ago1:08:39

1:08:39

In memory of his passing and in celebration of what would have been his 66th birthday, please enjoy this re-release of our episode focusing on the great Rickey Henderson: One of the most dynamic players of all time, Rickey Henderson still has many fans polarized. But everyone seems to agree that he was the best leadoff man and base stealer in baseball history. And, it was 28 years ago this week that he cemented those titles with his 939th career steal, breaking Lou Brock's all time record. Mike and Bill dig into Rickey's past and his path to becoming, in his words, "The Greatest," as well as his excellent and unexpectedly extended denouement. Plus, happy birthday to Phil Garner and Jeff Reboulet!…

Episode 80 (Re-run) - The Red Sox Let Fred Lynn and Carlton Fisk Slip Away 58:55

10 weeks ago58:55

58:55

Free agency doesn't seem that complicated, but 44 years ago this week, the Boston Red Sox made a colossal error, accidentally non-tendering two of their biggest stars, Fred Lynn and Carlton Fisk. Mike and Bill trace the careers of two of the 1970s and 1980s best players, find out what went so wrong at the end of 1980, and sort through the fallout of one of baseball's biggest blunders. Plus, happy birthday to Andy Van Slyke and Moose Skowron.…

1:13:13

With the holidays on the horizon, Mike and Bill were feeling a little scrambled and decided, rather than focus on one prominent player or incident, they'd just pick a game at random and talk about it. They landed in Montreal on August 19th, 1974, as the Padres took on the Expos. In addition to an exciting back and forth game, they talk about Parc Jarry, Willie Davis, Ron Hunt, the Chuck Taylor All Stars and more! Plus, happy birthday to Jimmy "Pepper' Austin and Ernest "Spoon" Carter!…

Episode 353 - Luis Aparicio Changes His Sox 1:18:47

12 weeks ago1:18:47

1:18:47

Understandably underappreciated due to his complete inability to hit, Luis Aparicio fell into disfavor amongst new fans in the 21st century. But, on the 54th anniversary of his trade from the White Sox to the Red Sox, Mike and Bill discover that there was far more to Aparicio's game than meets the eye, including some of the best defense of all time and the blinding speed that brought the stolen base back to baseball after years of dormancy. Plus, happy birthday to Cookie Lavagetto and Gary Ward. And farewell to Bob Speake and Ozzie Virgil Sr.…

Episode 352 - Crowning Prince Hal 1:09:04

13 weeks ago1:09:04

1:09:04

The first thing most people think about when they think about Hal Newhouser is World War II. That's ironic, given that he was not allowed to serve. But his dominance during the war years led to the longstanding belief that he was some kind of mirage, created by the lack of talent in the American League in those years. But, as Mike and Bill found out as they traced his career on the 80th anniversary of winning his first of consecutive MVP awards, that's not remotely the whole story, as Newhouser remained a dominant and Hall of Fame caliber pitcher for several years after everyone came home. Plus, happy birthday to Billy Rogell and George Burns. And farewell to John Baumgartner and Joey Jay.…
