A viral video from a Chicago Cubs game led to the false demonization of a fan who appeared to steal a foul ball from a young boy. Social media users and mainstream outlets quickly labeled the man a villain before it was revealed he had actually collected four balls and distributed them to children in the stands. While the Cubs provided the boy with a signed ball, the incident serves as a cautionary tale about the speed of unverified online outrage.

The Chicago Cubs' first-ever home playoff series win at Wrigley Field is discussed in the context of their 107-year championship drought. The hosts note the "prophecy" in the film "Back to the Future Part II," which predicted a Cubs World Series win in 2015. They joke that the team's success might be a elaborate promotion for the film's anniversary on October 21st.
