Rain Delay Theater

This week, Jack and Jeremy talk about the Netflix documentary "Who Killed the Montreal Expos?" As the title of our episode would suggest, the guys take multiple shots at Jeffrey Loria and David Samson. If you haven't seen the doc yet, you might want to watch it first before listening to the episode, but there's not really anything you can spoil about the story. The guys also discuss Sox Fest 2026 and their prospects of attending and seeing the Gray Grapher there.

The guys cover a slew of topics, closely to loosely baseball-related - from an oddly-named Stranger Things character, to that ridiculous White Sox prospect jersey we saw in 2019, to an epic story about Jeremy and a package. Plus a follow up on the Rizzo autograph story from last week.

Jack and Jeremy are back from the Chicago Sports Spectacular in Rosemont and they have tales to tell! The guys debrief with a local card shop owner about an embarrassing video that hit social media, Jeremy has a few awkward exchanges with a young grapher and his dad, and Jack pays the price for not carrying cash. The guys rip more cards and, would you believe it, Jack pulls more triple digit value cards. Plus, Jeremy gives his recap of Saturday and Sunday with getting autographs from John Cusack and Anthony Rizzo!

Jack and Jeremy are back this week to talk about the MLB award winners, new manager and coaching hires, Jeremy's Joey Cora and Lance Johnson signing, the HOF ballot, and the upcoming Chicago Sports Spectacular card show this weekend in Rosemont, IL! Jack hatches a plan to try to track down Rizzo and Ross, Jeremy talks about his mom meeting Mike Singletary, and the guys go on and on about all the players they want to get at the card show. Catch back up with the pod this week!

The World Series is over. The Dodgers won. See last week's episode to see how we feel about that. But that also means it's our 2025 Over/Unders Recap. Did Dansby Swanson hit the over on home runs? Did White Sox fans hit the over for bums cheered for? How many times did the Gray Grapher get jealous about an autograph? All those answers await here in the ep! Oh and the guys do actually talk about the World Series too...

The World Series is here and since no one is actually rooting for the Dodgers, Jack and Jeremy decide to rank the entire roster from least to most hated. Does Jeremy create a number higher than 1 for Ohtani? How much does Jack resent the Dodgers for the NLCS ouster? And how does one actually pick a singular most hated Dodgers in such a group of strong candidates? Tune in to find out!

It's that time of year again to look back at the goofs, jerks, and buffoons of graphing as Jack and Jeremy give out the 2025 Bus Awards. Which new graphers step up to the plate, which classic knuckleheads get recognition, and which players are awarded for their bad behavior - find out in this episode! The guys also talk about the Brewers elimination and the uninspiring Kurt Suzuki hire.

Well, the NLDS is over, the Brewers are moving on, and Jack and Jeremy have ended their communication blackout in order to bring you this episode. The guys talk about the series, the ups and downs, the Cubs shortcomings, and the Brewers flying the L. Jeremy also recaps his afternoon at locker clean out with an all-star lineup of graphing regulars.

Jack and Jeremy are here to talk about playoff baseball - specifically Cubs and Brewers. They dissect the Cubs meltdown and the Brewers big win. We also hear Jeremy’s thoughts about TBS announcer Alex Faust, getting some unexpected Wild Card tickets from someone in the graphing world, and the Mets bus during the last Wrigley Field regular season homestand. Plus, Jeremy tells the full story of getting Green Day drummer Tre Cool’s autograph outside the park. Lastly, we give an update on the JEJ/Anthony fake autograph saga - you’ll want to tune in just for those juicy details alone!

The regular season may be over, but Jack and Jeremy have one more game to talk about - it's Part Two of the Tampa Bay Rays in Chicago series - North Side edition. The Gray Grapher graces us with his antics for one last time in 2025. From the moment he raced through security with his grandson, to story he told about pissing off Nicky Lopez, to the accusations of fake autographs from the Wrigley grapher kids - it's all here, to tide us over until next spring. Plus a few goofs from Jeremy, Jack, and the usual annoying fans, enjoy the finale of the 2025 baseball regular season!

Jeremy comes to you solo to preview the MLB playoffs and give you his thoughts about the Cubs chances. He also talks about some troubling corndogs he saw and getting a punk rock icon's autograph at Wrigley!

The season is winding down but one more trip to the southside was in order as the guys were joined by their pal Chris to see the White Sox vs. the Rays. The trio endure a graphing war zone which included the likes of the Gray Grapher, Chris spots a 1st round draft pick, Jeremy sells out for a HOFer, and a whimper of French meows surround the group.

This week, the guys ask for a little extra from Ricky Gutierrez, mistake an Apple TV announcer for a beat reporter, get spilled on, and have another issue with nachos - listen to see which of these acts are attributed to which Rain Delay Theater dude. And at the bus, the guys have weird interactions with an umpire and another Nats coach. Fun times!

Well the guys finally made it to a Braves game! But not without some ticket snafus and weather concerns leading up to it! Hear about the obstacles Jeremy encountered leading up to the game. The guys also rant about a loudmouth finance bro behind them, a fake Pedro Martinez, and a majorly delayed Atlanta Braves bus.

Jack and Jeremy come at you this week with recaps of their Seattle and Boston trips respectively. Jeremy touches on his stop at a Maine roadside lobster shack, his thoughts on the baseball's most beloved stadium, and an intense exchange between himself and a Pirates relief pitcher atop the Green Monster. Jack talk about handmade cheese, museum lingo, and a shady rideshare driver.

It's Rivalry Week on the pod as Jack's Brewers visit Jeremy's Cubs - will the turmoil on the field spill over into the podcast? The game was thrilling but some long sought-after autographs really made this a memorable episode. Find out why Jack loves Christian Yelich, why Jeremy was elbowed by a 73 year-old man, and why one a-hole Brewers player nearly earns redemption (but not really).

Rain Delay Theater is back at the ballpark as Jack and Jeremy (and Marc Bubblebath) take in a Wednesday afternoon White Sox game on the Southside! The day kicks off with Jack stuck on a CTA bus and Marc busted for attempting to enter the park with a messenger bag. It’s a short list of oddities but there are some good ones here, including a Sox meatball, a jacked guy with a cane, and a Torkelsons tv show reference! The episode starts off, though, with an unbelievable concessions story from Jeremy from a solo Cubs game he attended prior to recording this ep. Cha-ching!

This week, Jack gives a gripping recap of graphing the Guards with the Gray Grapher. Before that, we hear about Jeremy's run-in with a psychotic Florida (Gators) Man and an equally psychotic Cubs security guard on Reds getaway day. The guys also discuss the celebrity grapher on Instagram Jeremy mentioned last week.

Jack and Jeremy are back, this time for the Reds and Terry Francona - but when Smokey Lady, the graphing kids, and Nick's unwanted helmet get in the way, the guys bail and head to the Cubs hotel hunting for graphs from the new acquisitions. Some ups and some downs and some predatory graphs are had, check 'em out!

On a special Fall League episode, Jeremy is joined by Jack to kick things off with a leftover story featuring Adult Stupidity and a soiled baseball glove, that was previously unintentionally omitted from previous episodes. Then Jeremy comes back to give you a recap of his trip to the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, and for this night - the Wisconsin Frozen Pizzas, game in Appleton, WI! Won’t you take this Kwik Trip with Jeremy?
