  • Terrible podcast

    These guys are horrible, chewing on every little thing like cockroaches just to prolong the podcast. Very little useful information provided by these clowns. There are other better sources out there, stay away from this garbage. Truly useless and pointless information provided here. Truly pathetic and shameful repeating every little thing over and over again.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reviewing Our Preseason Predictions with Rany Jazayerli!
Q: Would we say that David Lesky was a success with his breakout player, that Carter Jensen wasn't just good, he broke out and exceeded what maybe some people thought?
Jazayerli says Jensen's record-setting rookie production, powerful September and performance behind the plate made him a successful breakout pick.
Reviewing Our Preseason Predictions with Rany Jazayerli!
Q: Are you willing to stand by that selection and say we did at least get this one right?
Jazayerli says Bobby Witt Jr. was unquestionably the Royals' player of the year, pointing to his defense, baserunning and overall value despite a less productive offensive season.
Predicting the 2026 Royals Postseason Awards with Rany Jazayerli
Q: Who is your breakout candidate for the season?
Rany picks Ryan Berger as a bold off-the-board choice, highlighting his spring transition and health; David chooses Carter Jensen as a reliable breakout with a full season, while acknowledging Berger as a close second.
Predicting the 2026 Royals Postseason Awards with Rany Jazayerli
Q: Who do you think will win Player of the Year for the Royals this season?
