Dump On The Ump

Joel and Chef Sam are back, to talk about living after getting a case of Covid, and about how to eat a healthy diet to combat high blood pressure and cholesterol. The key? Lots and lots of sweet potatoes.

Sam, Joel, and Thomas are back to talk about Week Two in Major League Baseball! The Seattle Mariners are trending up, the Chicago White Sox are trending down, the NBA Playoffs are going on, and when is it OK for a professional athlete to flip the opposing fans the bird?

And now for something completely different ... In an unusually morbid episode, Sam and Joel discuss the lack of a national food culture in the United States, its relationship to the fast food industry and political lobbying groups, and what that means for the future of climate change.

Baseball is finally back in America! Sam, Thomas, and Joel are here to give their impressions of the first week of the MLB Season, and updates on the Red Sox, Mariners, and White Sox.

So we recorded this podcast before MLB ended the lockout, ok? Rob Manfred knew he had screwed up when even Mike Trout starts posting about him on IG; Russell Westbrick has the thin skin of someone who has never been bullied before; and why did nobody notice that Britney Griner has been missing?

This ain't a feel good episode.

The boys of Dump On The Ump forego the State of the Union to give you the latest on the state of baseball! Rob Manfred, that piece of shit, has officially canceled the first week of baseball.

Sam has a working theory that Juwan Howard has PTSD about time-outs. Thomas is trying to stay positive, and Joel is pushing their steampunk college football novel!

Joel, Sam, and Thomas are back to talk about the terribly depressing world of sports! MLB continues to drag its feet regarding the CBA negotiations; Matt Harvey testifies in the death of Tyler Skaggs; and the IOC continues to do absolutely nothing about Russian doping! Many jokes will be told about all these hilarious topics.

Joel, Sam, and Thomas are back to talk about the dystopian hellscape that is sports! Joe West retires - was it because he was under investigation for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection?
