Jeff and Jason catch up on Jason's men's league baseball playoff run and his CPBL Manager of the Year award, then dig into Bears preseason (Caleb Williams' cameo, Case Keenum), the Deshaun Watson booing controversy, the Myles Garrett trade, and NFL international expansion. A Bears jersey trivia battle leads into Cubs vs. White Sox, headlined by Pete Crow-Armstrong's historic bookend walk-off homers. They talk Jeff's NYC trip, road trips, Joshua's 21st birthday and golf round, the endless Bears stadium saga, and Jeff's 3D-printed FOJ coins, plus early ideas for a "FOJ Cup" and Listener of the Year award.
