Today’s pod is a lively back-and-forth about fun in baseball, and uses ripe examples from today’s playoff-caliber game, viewed in-person, between the the Nats and presumptive World Series victors–the Giants.

Viewers can’t enjoy football by itself, but can enjoy reacting to football together with others. Is that because a sport that sucks is best tolerated with commiserators?
