FOJ 26 - Baseball Bets, Obscure Stats, 86 Polestar (again)

Description:

FOJ is back with another unfiltered run through all things sports, bets, and banging guitar riffs. Jeff and Jason dive into Jason’s every game bet strategy—riding the Dodgers to win and the White Sox to tank. Spoiler: one of those is printing passive income. They touch on the current MLB landscape, including offensive surges, freezing temps at Wrigley, and the declining appeal of baseball (supported by actual science).

The guys also break down some music recaps with Ghost and Mick Gordon getting the FOJ playlist nod. Plus, we hit wild sports stats (like Shaq’s one 3-pointer and Fitzgerald's freakish tackle-to-drop ratio), Ovechkin’s milestone, and another painful week of being a Polestar 3 owner.

And yeah… we crown not one, not two, but three thousand and one listeners of the week.
