Shortpants XVII -- White Hot

Lickety split, Shortpants is back in the studio to discuss the final days of the regular season. Mike is joined by FC and PMF as they discuss the stress of competing for a final playoff spot and the sick delight of spoiling someone's dream of playoff success. There's no better recipe for killing an hour of nail-biting than kicking back and chilling with the Shortpants gang. The highlight arrives with some of the tensest minutes in radio history, as Mothership explains that the purpose of his whole season has come down to knocking PMF out of the playoffs in their matchup this week.

The pennant race. It's white hot.

Shortpants XVI -- The Pies Have It

Pie fight!!! This week Mike welcomes D'Lucious Bitch Pies to the studio to take the LOWV pulse in Hollywood. He's joined by LU and FC as they discuss all things baseball (fantasy and otherwise) and relationships (fantasy and otherwise).

We also learn what would happen to an episode if our host was unexpectedly called away from his duties during the recording. Radio gold, if a sick dog had shat on said gold.

Episode XV--A Toast To El Guapo

This week Mike welcomes his go-to punching bag El Guapo for a fascinating episode of Shortpants. Neil's Team and FC join the discussion as they probe the twisted mind of a Giants fan, an upstart contender, a conflicted soul who's an unabashed veteran lover and a Jeremy Hermida proponent, and a dude with the least interesting favorite players imaginable.
And remember when the compact disc became the dominant recording medium? And there was nothing hipper than for a band to bury a not-quite-good-enough-to-be-on-the-album-but-sure-to-be-appreciated-by-hardcore-fans song as a hidden track? Us neither. But our grandpa told us it was cool as shit.

Episode XIV

Programming note: In order to get this out to the fans for weekend drive time, there is no intro for this episode.

Shortpants XIII -- The Reckoning

A rip-snorting Shortpants this week that is perhaps the most esoteric and contentious episode yet. Mike welcomes the general managers from FC, LU, PMF, Neil’s Team and special guest Bonomatory Influence to the studio this week to discuss a wide range of topics, which include:

Insight into winning fantasy strategy the Bonomatory way;
Native Americans in baseball;
A debate the implementation of a minor league draft, wherein both sides agree that it’d be awesome so they argue about it in high volume at great length;
Is DLBP the best team in the LOWV?;
How federal prosecutors only take cases with high conviction rates to bolster their careers in courtrooms where a jury would never convict;
Is it possible to take a shitty picture of Joshua Tree National Park and profit on it?

Dig in and hold tight.
