MLB embarrassed itself once again (Patreon)

note: if you just want a sneak peek at a new Jon project, scroll down

i feel pretty let down by baseball. we wouldn't have charged them anything if they'd used our idea, and yet they have once again sat on their hands and ignored the successes of the NFL and NBA when it comes to owning a holiday. NBA has christmas, NFL has thanksgiving, MLB should take control of halloween, and the answer to how they do that was right in front of them.

this is of course a snippet from our episode of weird rules about one of the worst things that can happen to a batter, or the best thing that can happen for a pitcher. if you happened to miss it, check it out here on youtube or the ad-free version is available on our patreon

let us know in the comments if you think we're wrong and baseball is spooky enough as is.

did you miss this?

we've updated some of our archives and brought a couple of big things out for all to enjoy. let's start off with jon's first 2025 mega project, "FOOL TIME"

FOOL TIME, part 1 of 4, is now available for everyone to enjoy. this four-part series was released at the start of the year and is the perfect example of what was never possible before launching this patreon. because of y'all's support, Jon was able to venture off into a non-sports land and find an excuse to rewatch all of home improvement tell the story of the internet's creation. we don't have to worry about a sponsor coming along because we have you, so, thank you.

the complete four-part run will finally hit the Secret Base YouTube in December, so keep an eye out

FOOL TIME, Part 1 of 4 | Pretty Good

similarly, we had no reason to try and launch podcasts before y'all piled in here. that's let us fire off two different franchises in the first year and a half, and we want everyone to have the chance to finally enjoy us without needing to use your eyes.

"Phys Ed" is Seth and Ryan's show about playing sports for fun, not for a living. we recently wrapped season 1, which is all available here if you're a paid subscriber and interested in checking it out. or for anyone reading this, you now have access to the episode where they had Jon on as a guest.

we're currently working on getting all of season one out there for everyone to enjoy. hopefully that would let us gauge what the interest level is for that sort of thing, and help us figure out how often/how much Phys Ed to bring y'all. got Phys Ed thoughts? let us know in the comments

what's coming up

well, Jon's working on something pretty special for y'all. the first episode will go up on Patreon Monday so you don't have to wait too long, but figure might as well give you a sneak peek here...

Jon's got a lot of ideas for this one, no real end in sight, so get ready for a lot of mounds being charged.

one other update work mentioning is we've started compiling all of our ad-free uploads into a collection so you can catch up and enjoy as a one-stop shop. we're going to stop sending out notifications for the ad-free uploads because we don't want to bog down your inbox every time we publish a video, but for everything that hits YouTube - it's ad-free sibling will be on Patreon.
