1. Playoff Baseball Is Here The Rays are headed to the Division Series.They'll face either the Yankees or Red Sox, and the guys are expecting a packed Trop with plenty of visiting fans.2. The Wildest Ballpark Food Yet The Trop is introducing the Clubhouse Tomahawk.It’s an 18-ounce bone-in Wagyu Tomahawk ribeye with truffle Parmesan fries, saffron aioli, and an optional glass of champagne.3. Why It Exists The idea came from Yandy Díaz, who celebrated the AL East clinch by eating a giant tomahawk steak and drinking champagne.The Rays turned that celebration into a concession stand item.4. The Price Tag The catch: it costs $119.The guys debate whether anyone is actually buying a steak that expensive at a baseball game.5. Stadium Food Reality Check J.R. compares it to the expensive food and drinks at concert venues.They agree it sounds delicious—but that’s a lot of money to eat in your stadium seat.6.

The 4:30 AM Inspection Launa decides to check the house before everyone arrives. She’s cleaning up around the pool and notices an umbrella that had fallen over. SNAKE ATTACK! 🐍 Launa picks up the umbrella and a black racer comes flying out. It lands right next to her leg. Launa absolutely loses it and wakes up the neighbors screaming. “It Was HUGE!” Everyone immediately questions Launa’s version of events. She admits, “You know me, I over-exaggerate a little bit.” Then insists this time the snake really was HUGE. Her estimate: maybe a little shorter than her 5'3" height. Launa’s New Snake PSA If something has been sitting in your yard for a while, kick it before picking it up. J.R. points out that most people would probably think about that already.

Launa vs. the ATM Launa says she’s probably never using that ATM again.J.R. points out that these bizarre things seem to happen to Launa constantly.Launa insists: “I over-exaggerate a little bit, but I’m not exaggerating on this one.”6.
