    About this Episode

    What would Summers Off be without a fun baseball flick?!

    We talk about Geena Davis maybe being a genius, why Tom Hanks gained 30 lbs, who had the baseball skills and who was horrible, and what a punk Madonna is on-camera and off.

    Ty's experience as a baseball stud, Rach's favorite phrase "the pickle tickle", and Ty continuing to butcher quotes make this a fun one for the ages.
