The hosts project that all three could occupy three of the six Listener League playoff spots and explain that if one of them wins the league, another place becomes available for a listener the following season.
The recurring Monday segment reads listener-submitted player puns in a mock-sophisticated manner, including Breece Hall of Shame, Kenneth Walker the Turd, and Fart Andrews; social channels collect entries, and at least one weak pun survives only because Christmas is close.
When Zach Ertz's torn ACL clears a path for Mike favorite Ben Sinnott much like Trey McBride's earlier opportunity, the hosts accuse Mike's magical season of dark magic. Mike rejects the premise, rediscovers his 'I am the Senate' button, and insists the injury not be put on him.
After selling during a lost League of Record keeper season, Andy faces Tony Pollard and Blake Corum when they finish second and third among running backs. The hosts say he is the most-scored-against manager in almost every league, and Andy calculates that one league's opponents score roughly 20 points per week above expectation.
An unlabeled Cardinals grievance wishes Jonathan Gannon an astronaut career in outer space, specifically as the first explorer to land on and touch the sun, before paying off with the mythology name Jonathan Icarus Gannon.
The hosts explain a Listener League wrinkle directly relevant to future applicants: if all three make up three of the six playoff teams and one becomes champion, another entry spot opens for the following season. The weekly Monday Punday segment turns listener submissions into a deliberately sophisticated parade of names such as Shoulder Santa, Christmas Watson, Breece Hall of Shame, Kenneth Walker the Turd, and Fart Andrews; submissions arrive through the show's social accounts, and a weak seasonal pun is admitted only near Christmas. Mike's attachment to Ben Sinnott becomes a dark-magic accusation when Zach Ertz tears an ACL, echoing the Trey McBride path; Mike objects, forgets that he has an 'I am the Senate' button, then refuses responsibility for the injury. Andy's 2025 fantasy misery is quantified: after selling for future keeper value in the League of Record, he faces Tony Pollard and Blake Corum when they finish second and third at running back, is the most-scored-against manager across almost every league, and estimates that opponents in one of those leagues run about 20 points per week above expectation. The Cardinals grievance becomes a physical fantasy in which Jonathan Gannon is celebrated as an astronaut, sent to touch the sun, and renamed Jonathan Icarus Gannon.
