It’s 95 outside.

Eliot is a helper.

Matt talks about what they did for his 50th!

10 – Jimmy talks about the white sox 20 game loss streak.

The longest single-season losing streak in MLB history was 26 games, by the 1889 Louisville Colonels. Baseball looked a bit different back then, to say the least. In the Modern Era (since 1900), that distinction belongs to the 1961 Phillies, who lost 23 straight.

20 – Consumer report update from Jimmy. It’s fake. Jimmy’s out!

Jimmy is going against his spoiler concerns. He and Danielle went to see Trap. HATED IT.

Saleka Shyamalan performs as Lady Raven in ‘Trap.’. Shyamalan worked closely with his daughter to do the world-building and figure out how Lady Raven would run a show. Saleka, too, composed a full album of original music for the film.
