MLB owners proposed a CBA with a hard salary cap, max 5-year contracts for free agents switching teams, and free agency for players 30 or older after just 5 years of service.

Big Cat reads through the alarming details of MLB owners' CBA proposal — hard cap, five-year max contracts, no deferred money — and the crew agrees a lockout seems inevitable with no summer sport to replace baseball. Hank stuns the room by deploying the same 'they haven't won anything' logic against Caitlin Clark discourse that PFT always uses against US soccer, briefly winning the segment before PFT calls it a straw man. The Terrion Arnold kidnapping situation is addressed briefly (anti-kidnapping podcast disclaimers ensue). Brian Kelly taking a Mountain West broadcast role is mocked, though Big Cat allows that a grumpy-coach-who-hates-the-media persona could work — citing Jim Boeheim as the template. The crew also debates whether A-Rod's ownership style drove the Timberwolves to make a splash move.
Air conditioning and refrigerator go 1-2, but PFT and Hank can't agree on which is actually more essential. From garbage disposals to air fryers to hot tubs, the segment turns into a 25-minute argument about what makes a house livable — and whether a garage fridge counts.

Rico Verhoeven dominated approximately 10 of 12 rounds against undisputed heavyweight boxing champion Oleksandr Usyk before a controversial post-bell stoppage.
Rico's appeal confirmed the fight was stopped after the bell rang, and the ringside doctor found no concussion or disorientation — yet the result was never overturned.
Glory Kickboxing uses 5 judges rather than boxing's 3, which Joe Rogan argues reduces the chance of a corrupt or incompetent minority swinging the result.
Rico Verhoeven had only one professional boxing match before fighting undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk for the WBC title.
Despite having just one pro boxing match, Rico Verhoeven had been training boxing for 15 years alongside his kickboxing career.
Rico used a full 6 months to transition from kickboxing stance to a proper boxing stance under trainer Peter Fury, calling it essential rewiring.
Rico Verhoeven has had approximately 75 professional kickboxing fights, giving him a massive combat sports experience advantage over pure boxers.
