Baseless: Welcome to Shohei's Gambling Scandal

Baseless: Welcome to Shohei's Gambling Scandal7 Oct33 min

<p>The Blue Jays are out, and somehow… we’re still watching baseball? In Episode 13, we come to terms with the deeply unsettling realization that we may now be actual baseball fans. We pick our postseason allegiances (go White Sox! go Padres!), celebrate our one-year anniversary of no longer being bandwagon fans, revel in Yankee and Dodger suffering, and check in on what the Jays are doing with all their newfound free time. Spoiler: it involves Hobby Lobby, playhouses, In-N-Out, and an ashram.</p><p>For Hot or Just Talented?, we investigate Colin Jost and Mariners pitcher Brian Woo before being completely derailed by a photo of Addison Barger. Then we head to brunch to discuss <em>The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani</em>, the truly bananas gambling scandal involving Shohei and his former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara. Did Ippei betray Shohei? Did Shohei know more than he let on? Were they secretly lovers? We have absolutely no evidence for that last theory, which has never stopped us before.</p><p>Plus, we discuss Taylor Swift, our go-to karaoke songs, how we’d orchestrate our own extremely attention-seeking retirements from baseball, and our Boyfriends of the Week — including one who is immediately upgraded to Boyfriend of the Century. The Jays may be done for the season but there&#39;s plenty of good vibes to keep us going.</p>
