It's been 3+ months since the last podcast, but Brady and Rick are back! Not only are they back podcasting, but they are back at their home, Thunderhawk Alements, who just took home some well deserved hardware at GABF.

What have the guys been up to? Rick created a small human, shot a music video, took pictures at a Padres game and Brady....just got a year older. The guys also talk Padres baseball. The manager search is scorching hot, or is it, and the brown uniforms are on the horizon, has either host gotten a peek?

Special guest, and local celebrity, Craig Elsten (@619Sports) joins Brady to chat about his career in San Diego sports media, and how he landed the biggest fish, USA Soccer legend Landon Donovan, for the San Diego Sockers. Find out why Rick came to podcast, but immediately left because he hates Craig.

Despite his hurt feelings, Craig takes us down memory lane in SD sports, talks about why Dallas McLaughlin of The Kept Faith got him fired from the San Diego Gulls, and his true feelings on the phrase "Craigasm" coined by Darren Smith.

How does Craig respond when both Rick and Brady basically beg to play in the Sockers celebrity game? Does Craig actually talk more than Brady in this episode? These are the questions! Tune in!

Somebody pinch us. Did this episode actually just happen? Six months after the #HosmerToZeroChance movement began... it came true... and then some. Brady and Rick had the absolute honor of recording this podcast from the field at Petco Park during batting practice. Come get to know Skip Schumaker, Travis Jankowski, Robert Stock, Trey Wingenter, Kirby Yates, Mark "Mudcat" Grant, and Eric Hosmer! Some gems from the pod: Prank war update between Skip Schumaker and Adam Wainwright. Does Jankowski's nickname come from Nightmare on Elm Street? Has Wingenter seen the Larry Bird meme? Is Mudcat a traveling psychopath? Does Kirby Yates think the bullpen is better withOUT Brad Hand!? Will Robert Stock clock 101mph on the gun, and give ZCP 100% credit? Lastly, Eric Hosmer may or may not guarantee the Padres win the 2019 World Series. Let's do this! All hail the mighty Thunderhawk!

Brady went to Mister A's for his anniversary dinner, and Rick is totally consumed by Tim Tebow's birthday. San Diego embraces Ice Cube's hatred for former SD teams in LA, and Wil Myers is now officially the greatest 3rd baseman to ever play for the San Diego Padres. Did we really enter into the F*Bomb zone? Let's get into it.

We are your one stop shop podcast for getting non-moving violations, officiating weddings, and breaking down bad iTunes reviews. We get into a ton of wild tweets, and just when you thought Brady couldn’t dislike Boltman more than he already did... wowzers. Buckle up for this rant. K Law blocked you on Twitter? That's cute. We both discuss why we suck as a podcast, and give ourselves a lofty to-do list. And what is the true monetary value of a clubhouse extra? Are they worth more than Phil Hughes? Let’s find out. Oh, and shout out to AJ Casablanca! Plus we break some news!! For realzzzzz!!!!

We're back at Thunderhawk Alements with a live audience! We talk World Cup, and how missing the next round based on yellow cards is garbage. We talk Landon Donovan, who MIGHT/MAYBE/POSSIBILITY/PROBABLY WON'T join us on a podcast coming soon.

Hear the tale of Brady's week involving copious amounts of blood that sent kids screaming in fear and running to their parents. Session Fly Fishing reels absolutely crushed their Kickstarter goal, you only have a week left to get yours before the campaign closes! How many San Diego sports podcasts have more average listeners than Dan Sileo? How to his numbers compare to Dave, Shelley, and Chainsaw? Also, who really bought all of those followers for Lil Silz? Was it really him? Is he really that dumb? Well, if his Media Cop Killer burner account is any indication... yes. We get into it.

Are the rumors true? Is Kevin Klein about to pop up on another Entercom station? Gross. Stay tuned til the end to hear about Rick's amazing weekend!

Listen to two baseball card guys try to explain the comic book movie world of the Avengers. The Greatest Showman is great! We talk Padres losing to Collective Soul, the Franch Revolution, the Mitchell experiment, and is Christian Villanueva the best third baseman in all of baseball?

We answer the world’s most pressing questions... Is it okay to start the wave? Is it okay to boo Adrian Gonzalez? Is it okay to still love Philip Rivers? The definitive answers await...

We stuffed our faces with Sushi Lounge on Market who was gracious enough to cater the festivities. We talk food, Padres, movies, Vegas, Coachella and what a bunch of cowards the University of Toledo are for not changing their mascot to Shrek.
