PREVIEW: Keith Costigan talks 2026 World Cup & 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs
Darren Smith and John Gennaro start today's podcast by trying to make sense of ESPN's new relationship with MLB teams and what it might mean for San Diego Padres fans going forward before welcoming to the show AppleTV MLS play-by-play announcer Keith Costigan for a preview of Monday's playoff game between San Diego FC and Minnesota United FC, as well as his thoughts on Ireland's path to the 2026 World Cup.After they're done talking with Keith, the guys spend a little time discussing their plans (and plans for the podcast) for Thanksgiving next week before John loses his mind trying to unravel whatever the hell is going on with the Dallas Mavericks....and what it might mean for the future of the San Diego Padres.Section 1904 is a community-supported media company.

PREVIEW: Remembering Randy Jones & talking MLS Cup Playoffs
Darren Smith and John Gennaro kick off the episode by remembering their former coworker, San Diego Padres legend Randy Jones, who passed away this morning. The guys spend some time telling personal stories and talking about Randy's place in Padres history.They then welcome onto the podcast Jeff Rueter from Five Asides, who joined the show back in May, to talk about USMNT's impressive win over Uruguay last night, Mikey Varas' long term future in San Diego, why he thinks the MLS calendar shift will make life more difficult for every team, why the AppleTV deal ending earlier than expected is good for the league, and what he's expecting when Minnesota United FC comes to town to take on San Diego FC on Monday night.The guys follow-up the interview with their thoughts following SDSU men's basketball dropping a 108-107 double-overtime game to Troy at home last night and wonder what kind of an impact (if any) it will have on this still-young season.Section 1904 is a community-supported media company.

PREVIEW: San Diego FC is a breath of fresh air
Darren Smith and John Gennaro kick off today's podcast by talking about some technical difficulties and jokingly being called out by a "rival" Padres podcast before getting into San Diego FC, who announced earlier today that they were exercising the permanent option on Luca Bombino's loan from LAFC.The guys play some audio from SDFC Sporting Director Tyler Heaps, who spoke openly and honestly about Luca Bombino's present and future with Darren Smith, which felt very different from the normal communications from a team to the media.The podcast closes with some San Diego Padres talk, starting with Shohei Ohtani no longer tipping his cap to the Padres dugout and barreling right into all of the questions surrounding a sale of the Padres and what a prospective buyer might be getting.Section 1904 is a community-supported media company.
