Team of Rivals Podcast

(𝐓𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐱 𝐅𝐚𝐧) | 𝐒𝟏𝟎𝐄𝐁𝟐

In this bonus episode, Pete flips the script and puts his friend, Alex Levine, in the spotlight. While listeners have heard Alex on the show before, this is the first time we really dive into his story: how he became the show's Token White Sox Fan, his upbringing in Chicago, and the journey that took him away and eventually brought him back. What starts as a baseball conversation quickly expands into something deeper: identity, hometown loyalty, career paths, and the experiences that shape who we become. It's a relaxed, freewheeling conversation that longtime listeners will appreciate, and new listeners won't want to miss. Topics Covered: * Growing up in Chicago (and choosing the "other" team) * Cubs vs. White Sox culture * Moving away, and what brings you back * Personal and professional journey * The role of sports in identity and connection 📺 Watch the Video: YouTube [https://youtu.be/EVYVy6a4oYs] | Rumble [https://rumble.com/v7adari-440679870.html] 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Alex @LevineFilm [https://x.com/LevineFilm/] | Elliott @ToR_Elliott [https://x.com/ToR_Elliott] | Ron @ToR_Ron75 [https://x.com/ToR_Ron75] | @TheParkSTL [https://x.com/TheParkSTL] 📧 Email: TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com [TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com]

The NL Central has officially become baseball's most exhausting division. All five teams are at or above .500. Nobody can pull away. Nobody can collapse. And somehow every fanbase is simultaneously convinced their team is both a contender and deeply flawed. This week on the Team of Rivals Podcast: • The Cubs stumble through a miserable road trip • PCA has words with Sox fans, and Pete is having none of it • The Cardinals continue hanging around the race • The Brewers refuse to go away • Pirates and Reds fans remain uncomfortably nearby • And "tarps off" has apparently become a thing at Busch Stadium Meanwhile, Ron was emotionally unavailable for long portions of the show because St. Louis CITY was still playing as we went live. 📺 Watch the Livestream: YouTube [https://youtube.com/live/rmd9kyA-JHM] | Rumble [https://rumble.com/v7a3e24-440217580.html] | Facebook [https://facebook.com/TeamOfRivalsPod/videos/1355468516487951/] | X [https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1RKjpzmdEMoJw?s=20] 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott @ToR_Elliott [https://x.com/ToR_Elliott] | Ron @ToR_Ron75 [https://x.com/ToR_Ron75] | @TheParkSTL [https://x.com/TheParkSTL] 📧 Email: TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com [TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com]

Ron, Elliott, and Pete are back to discuss the deeply upsetting reality that both the Cubs and Cardinals are actually… good? The Cubs keep winning despite a pitching staff held together with duct tape and Craig Counsell wizardry, while the Cardinals continue shambling forward like the baseball equivalent of a zombie apocalypse. The guys break down: * The suddenly dangerous NL Central * Whether the Cubs are legitimate contenders * Ron cautiously buying stock in the Cardinals rebuild * The official postmortem for Dylan Carlson * Carson Kelly's surprise emergence * Why teams desperately need a "Vice President of Common Sense" * Ron's son Sam becoming the Ben Zobrist of his high school team * Terrible soccer kits, Newcastle, St. Louis CITY, and another cursed Ron's Soccer Minute 📺 Watch the Livestream: YouTube [https://youtube.com/live/gr6YBjnwSHQ] | Rumble [https://rumble.com/v79joty-439298422.html] | Facebook [https://facebook.com/reel/2159074011602293/] | X [https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1pKdRbOZMdQJW] 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott @ToR_Elliott [https://x.com/ToR_Elliott] | Ron @ToR_Ron75 [https://x.com/ToR_Ron75] | @TheParkSTL [https://x.com/TheParkSTL] 📧 Email: TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com [TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com]

The OG Team of Rivals duo is back this week as Pete and Ron go old school for a Throwback edition of the podcast. This week: ⚾ The Cubs stayed hot… until they arrived on the West Coast ⚾ The Cardinals continue their baffling cycle of good baseball immediately followed by questionable baseball 🐻 Our Bears Draft reactions and the annual springtime declaration that this changes everything ⚽ Ron's Soccer Minute expands accordingly now that Ted Lasso is back and Newcastle optimism is once again medically unsafe. No Elliott. No balance. No guarantees this stays on schedule. 📺 Watch the Livestream: YouTube [https://youtube.com/live/-WqB1PNCPpE] | Rumble [https://rumble.com/v7952xc-438616848.html] | Facebook [https://facebook.com/TeamOfRivalsPod/videos/1584872096599622/] | X [https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1pJdRbLZgoVKW?s=20] 📌 Follow: @TeamOfRivalsPod | Elliott @ToR_Elliott [https://x.com/ToR_Elliott] | Ron @ToR_Ron75 [https://x.com/ToR_Ron75] | @TheParkSTL [https://x.com/TheParkSTL] 📧 Email: TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com [TeamOfRivalsPodcast@gmail.com]
