Episode 32: AN EPIC SLUMP AND A TRAUMA DUMP!!

🎙️ EPISODE 31: 365 DAYS OF CHAOS!!!

One year. Thirty-one episodes. Countless hot takes, questionable decisions, emotional support group chats, and somehow we're still here. This week we're celebrating the one-year anniversary of Padres & Playdates by looking back at our favorite moments from the past year, the wild ride this podcast has taken us on, and why we're somehow still optimistic even while the Padres continue to absolutely shit the bed. We also discuss the strange reality that Fernando Tatis Jr. somehow has the best batting average on the team even though it feels like he's been slumping for a month, what's gone wrong with the offense, and why we're refusing to panic... at least for now. Thanks for hanging out with us for 365 days of chaos. We wouldn't want to suffer through Padres baseball with anyone else. 💛🤎

Episode 32: AN EPIC SLUMP AND A TRAUMA DUMP!!

Episode 32: AN EPIC SLUMP AND A TRAUMA DUMP!! 🤪⚾️ The Padres are officially in their flop era and we're breaking down exactly how we got here. We talk about the epic slump, what's really going wrong, whether there's any reason for optimism, and why we're not quite ready to hit the panic button (yet). Plus, a little trauma dumping, summer plans, taking the kids to a suite at Petco Park this Monday, and the usual chaos you've come to expect from us. If you're frustrated, confused, mildly delusional, and still somehow convinced this team can turn it around, this episode is for you. 🎧 Available now!

EPISODE 30: 38 AND FEEELING GREAT!! 🎉⚾️

This week we’re celebrating Anais’ birthday while the Padres continue to make absolutely no sense in the best way possible. We break down the last four series, Gavin Sheets’ INSANE 3-run homer in the top of the 9th with two outs, why Andujar might be the most underrated player on this team right now, and ask the question every Padres fan is currently screaming into the void: WTF is going on with Tatis?! We also get into how the Padres are somehow leading the NL West despite some of the worst hitting numbers in baseball and several star players not performing like themselves. Plus, a chaotic round of Would You Rather and a look ahead at our busy week featuring a Padres vs. Dodgers game at Petco with Bubbles & Fishing Poles 👀 Basically: vibes are high, logic is low, and somehow the Padres keep winning.

Episode 29: WHAT HAPPENS IN MEXICO... 🇲🇽⚾️

The Padres took over CDMX and honestly… so did we. This week we’re breaking down our Mexico City series experience, why it somehow felt exactly like being at Petco Park, and why this trip has officially become our entire personality. From the insane atmosphere to Padres fans absolutely SHOWING UP, we’re recapping all the chaos, fun, and core memories made south of the border. We also discuss the shocking amount of Dodgers fans in attendance… supporting the Padres, obviously. 💅 Plus: * Xander Bogaerts quietly becoming ON FIRE * Luis Campusano proving people wrong * The vibes of this team right now * That brutal umpire call that ended Mason Miller’s scoreless streak and sent baseball fans into a spiral Basically: Padres baseball, friendship, serotonin, and Mexico City supremacy.

Episode 28: Bogey Goes Boom!!

This week we’re riding HIGH after an electric sweep and an unstoppable winning streak! We break down Bogey’s unforgettable walk-off grand slam and relive the absolute chaos of our insane 6–2 comeback in the bottom of the 9th. Seriously… does it get better than that?! We’re giving major love to our announcers (because they’ve been on fire lately), and we’re officially declaring Merrill our MVP after what might be the best game of his career. Off the field, things get just as fun—Anais’s kids are out here proving they know more baseball than most of our friends, and we start to seriously question if the Dodgers are building players in a lab somewhere… because HOW?! Also, important discussion: we need to see Freddy Freeman’s baby pictures immediately. Come for the recap, stay for the chaos—this episode is a fun one!
