This week on OFF DAY...

🌹 Goodbye, Dolly. Goodbye, Tim Curry.

⚾ The Astros are winning again. Maybe baseball is fun after all.

👍 What does the 2026 forecast look like for Aggie football?

🏮 Lanterns was great.

🤠 So was Lasso.

Sports. Pop Culture. Whatever else comes up.

⚾ Dana Brown is gone. Is Joe Espada next?

🚗 Hiring Jeff Bagwell to run baseball ops would be like hiring Andy's grandpa to build an EV.

🏈 Where the hell is college football going?

🤘 And my alma mater’s new uniforms? Bad.

Baseball chaos. College football confusion. Uniform crimes.

It’s an OFF DAY.

Off Day is back! We’re talking my trip to see the Milwaukee Milkmen, the Astros’ very meh weekend against Seattle, the Longhorns somehow getting zero No. 1 votes, the Lanterns premiere—and perhaps most importantly, my brand-new Pope hat from the White Sox.

Baseball, college football, superheroes, and questionable headwear decisions. Pretty standard Off Day.

This week on OFF DAY, we’re all over the map—in the best possible way.

We’re talking Ted Lasso, the latest with the Astros, Jack Reacher, our expectations for the upcoming football season, and somehow we end up discussing the plight of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

Sports. TV. Movies. Aircraft carriers. You know… a normal episode.

🎙️ OFF DAY — check out the full show at the link in bio.

It’s an Off Day, but apparently nobody told us to take the day off.

We’ve got an Astros update, why sometimes you just need a Brand New Day, the joy of internet hate, a little Ted Lasso, the glorious return of college football, and—because this show goes wherever the conversation takes us—catering trucks.

Baseball, football, TV, trolls and food on wheels. Just another perfectly normal Off Day.

This episode is full of poop...literally.

The Astros trade deadline.....I mean.....ya.

Astros took 5-6
SEC might bounce
Trump disrespects the fallen. 

The McCullers Legacy
The Graham Legacy
Gernal state of the world stuff....

The Astros take a bigseries from the Rays. 
Is Houston about to make a blockbuster run at Tarik Skubal? 
We break down FIFA's controversial red card reversal, and yes... we investigate the mystery of The Sheep Detective. 

Sports. Politics. Pop culture. Whatever else comes up.

Happy Birthday, America.

This week on OFF DAY:

Team USA marches on.
Trump's State Fair is falling apart....literally.
Emmanuel Acho has thoughts — and so do we.
And Burrows and Imai? Astros won't win? That’s why....

Sports, culture, chaos, and a little red, white, and blue.

Supergirl is invulnerable to everything but Kryptonite and incels.

Caitlin Clark is getting mugged on national TV, and the WNBA keeps acting like it’s part of the game plan.

The Astros are one game back — October still seems far away.

America’s 250th birthday is coming, but where’s the excitement? Or did Trump manage to steal that too?

And finally: soccer is life.

The Astros are back in it, MLB owners are already telling us exactly who they are, Sorsby is still sitting at home, and we’re asking the real question: do we actually care about high school football recruiting?

Then we hit Big Bend desecration, democratic socialism, and our first trip into Texas Volts pro softball.

It’s sports, culture, nonsense, and probably a few bad opinions — which means it’s time for OFF DAY.
