If you RSVP for a wedding and don't show up, should you have to pay the bride and groom for the food you didnt eat?

Shohei Ohtani made his pitching debut for the Dodgers last night in a win over San Diego. Andy Pages had a staredown with Dylan Cease after Cease hit him with a pitch. We're not too far away from streaming being THE ONLY option when it comes to watching television.

Fred gives us all some business casual wardrobe advice. Why did Scottie Sheffler delete his Venmo account?

Dylan Hernandez from the LA Times hops on to talk about the Dodgers after they took 2 of 3 from San Diego. MLB players who were polled are NOT big fans of the automated strike zone. You could get free weed if you can present a photo of bigfoot to a dispensary in Michigan.

It wasnt pretty but the Dodgers beat the Padres in 10 innings last night. Could the end be near for Michael Conforto? There seems to be a narrative that the Clippers got fleeced in the SGA for Paul George trade. Fred and Rodney explain why that isnt necessarily the case and context matters
