Episode 45 is here and Kyle and Isaiah's lower backs are NOT having a good time. Kyle's sticking to Wisconsin-made rye whiskey while Isaiah battles the flu, and we've got a big announcement: Sports Shots Pod is going bi-weekly! We're all working full-time, have families, hobbies, and need our sanity, so catch us every two weeks with the same unfiltered sports takes you love.
We kick things off roasting the NFL's biggest dumpster fires. The Giants? Cooked. The Jets? Also cooked. It's getting ugly out there, folks.
But the main event? SHOHEI OHTANI. This man single-handedly won a playoff game with three home runs, and we're breaking down why he's literally doing things you can't even do in a video game. We get into the Dodgers vs. small market teams debate, MLB's salary cap problem, and why everyone needs to stop hating and just appreciate greatness.
Plus: Halo 2 campaign nostalgia, Ghost of Tsushima love, and the emotional damage of old-school gaming.
Show Some Love: If Shohei Ohtani's performance broke your brain like it broke ours, do us a favor...smash that 5-star rating and drop a review. It takes less time than Kyle's customer service voice switch-up and helps us reach more sports fans who need this energy. Share the episode, follow us on Instagram & Threads @sportsshotspod, and let's keep this thing rolling every two weeks. We appreciate you holding us down!
