Episode Archive: Sports Retorts with Hooli and The Joe

As the temperature gets colder, the baseball stove is heating up! MB shares her take of what's happening around the league, and the boys try their best to follow along (bless their hearts).  The Joe and Hooli paint us a by-the-numbers look at the college football playoff picture!

This week Hooli and The Joe go long on how the NFL has it out for female fans and employees as MBS peppers in a lady's perspective. But don't worry, some World Cup of Hockey jokes and The Joe's ode to Josh Gordon will cool things off.

Hooli and The Joe are in the studio, joined by MB live in the field for an MLB update.  Meanwhile, did you know that there's a controversy about players kneeling during the national anthem?  No?  Neither did we!  It's surprising that literally nobody is talking about this all the time.  Guess that means it's our turn!

This episode we tackle college football's first week back. Then the boys hold a draft of their favorite college mascots. Spoiler Alert: some are of an "adult" nature. All that and the Eastern Michigan University fight song!... It's the ONLY way Hooli could ever get EMU on the show. Enjoy!​

This week the boys head back into the Sports Retorts Sports Court with the honorable Judge MB presiding. The trial at hand: whether or not Ryan Lochte is a super douche.  After the courtroom, the boys break down the impending NFL season division by division, comparing each one to an Olympic event as one last, "See ya never!" to Rio.

This week MB and Hooli are left to their own devices while The Joe is Mainely on vacation. Without him they're just spinning their wheels... wheels filled with an array of problems in Rio that is. MB also drops some knowledge on the biggest MLB trades. All that and some sick A-Rod burns, which he will be nursing at home for the rest of the season.

This week we bring in a special guest to weigh in on an age old Sports Retorts debate: which sport is the best? Daniel, who created our Instagram account after hearing weeks of our pleas, comes on to judge our arguments as to why our favorite is the best. The Joe fights for football, Hooli takes on basketball, and MB goes to bat for baseball. This episode will once and for all decree which sport is best (according to an unbiased third party weighing in on our arguments)!!!! Spoiler alert: It's not Pogs!​

Halfway through the baseball season, Mary Beth has some thoughts about where things stand and where they might land.  The Joe renames the Cleveland MLB team; and Hooli shares with us who's, "making that Mozgov money."  All that, plus more Poké-jokes than you can handle!  #GottaTellThemAll
