We begin with some updates from Sex and the City / And Just Like That world: Karen Pittman aka Nya Wallace has joined Che in leaving the show before season 3, leaving us only a Seema & TLDR departure from forming a little show called "Sex and The City." We also talk about the media's weird obsession with Gen Z seeing SATC for the first time on Netf…

6 years and almost 300 episodes later, it’s time to joyfully call it a ballgame — and in our bottom of the 9th, we put together a hell of a rally. Our final episode looks back with our favorite guests including: Joe Maddon, Justin Steele, Roy Wood Jr., Bob Newhart, Alec Mills, Rob Zastryzny, and more. Seriously, we talked to all of them about the C…

Since 2018, our podcast has been previewing Chicago Cubs seasons, making a ton of predictions, doing a bunch of roster and league analysis, and having a lot of fun doing it. And in 2024, we’re doing that for the last time. Away Games Podcast is coming to an end after next week’s episode (which will be a look back), but we wanted to go deep one more…

This is SO S.A.T.C., says our Shosh, as the gals go to a book release party for an annoying college friend played by Jenny Slate. Hannah’s writing rival is having success which drives her crazy enough so that she takes almost the literal first step towards being a writer, and goes to a reading held by her favorite college teacher (played by Michael…

And with the return of Cody Bellinger, the season can finally begin! The Cubs finally found a solution for the Cody Bellinger-sized hole in their lineup, and he returns on the Jed Hoyer Special contract (short term, opt outs galore). We talk about that, the Cubs plethora of non-roster invites, PECOTA projections that have the Cubs right around .500…

The massive controversy from this episode: was Shosh wearing pants as she ran around Bushwick…on crack?! The girls all head to the biggest warehouse party in Brooklyn, and this party? Has everything: a pack of lesbians, Charlie and Ray’s suddenly successful band, the world’s saddest husband trying to cheat on his wife with Jessa, a glass cigarette …

Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers! We decided to do a classic romcom that *one* of us had never seen, and drop it as a romantic, holiday bonus. So here we are, with a movie that doesn’t work on paper, but big time works on the screen: a star-making turn by Julia Roberts who has “it” more than just about anyone has ever had, Richard Gere somehow making …

In the aftermath of Hannah’s diary revelation, Marnie & Charlie break up…or at least Charlie attempts to. That leads to Marnie going to the apartment of her boyfriend for the very first time, somehow, and doing some bargaining. Hannah takes typically awful advice from Jessa to try to F her boss “for the story,” and fails, before dropping by Adam’s …

After Hannah finds out she has HPV, she calls her ex-boyfriend Elijah (Andrew Rannells) who makes a tremendous debut, revealing secrets and throwing out dad-related accusations. Marnie flirts with the ridiculously named Booth Jonathan (Jorma Taccone), Shosh gets into a (great) show called “Baggage” and talks about her own emotional baggage with Han…

Well you’ve probably heard the news, or at least the rumor, innuendo, and vague-gramming: it appears Sara Ramirez and their iconic character of Che Diaz is leaving “And Just Like That.” Thankfully, since the show isn’t coming back until 2025, we all have time to process our grief. Kevin & Jon hop on the mics to talk about what we know so far about …

It’s a BIG episode! So big, we have guest Ken Schultz (OutSports) on to help talk us through it. Shota Imanaga joins the Cubs rotation from Japan, the Cubs dealt two prospects for one top-50 prospect in baseball (1B/DH Michael Busch) and a MLB reliever (Yency Almonte). We analyze the moves the Cubs have made, talk about the big ones they haven’t, w…

Four women in NYC, trying to figure out life…we loved it the first time we did it, so why not why not try it again? EVERY episode on Patreon.com/kevinandjon, with every-other, alternating episodes here on the main feed! We begin as Hannah (Lena Dunham) learns mom and dad won’t be funding her NYC life anymore, sending her into a spiral. Marnie (Alli…

Steele became an ace, we got the Tauch Off & Morel’s walk off grand slam that made him literally lose his shirt. The Ross Era also wrapped up in a weird way, as the team was both better and worse than we thought they could be at different times, leading to a result that was…literally exactly what we predicted in our annual season preview. We take t…

Happy holidays to all, but especially Jorge Alfaro, the Cubs biggest signing of the offseason so far. Adam and Kevin thought it was a good time to check in on where things stand for the Cubs as Ohtani chose a new, more local, consistently competitive home with the Deferrin’ Dodgers, Soto landed in New York, and the Cubs are in the news for NOT meet…

Oh hi, fellow Cidiots! While the only thing that makes this SATC branded is a brief, BLONDE Cynthia Nixon appearance, we thought it might be nice to drop a little bonus podcast for people on a week where so many of us have a lot of extra travel for Thanksgiving. This is also a little sample of what we're consistently doing on Patreon in between And…

The Cubs have a new manager: Craig Counsell is leaving Milwaukee to come complain about weather delays more locally after signing a record 5-year, $40 million dollar deal. David Ross went from “our guy” to “anyone else’s guy” in a snap, and he’s not the only one out the door: Marcus Stroman has declined his option, freeing up more than $20 million …

From one strike away to all the way there, the Rangers finally got rid of the the title of “oldest team to never win a World Series.” Game 1 was an all-timer, with Corey Seager’s 9th inning, game tying homer that reminded us of Kirk Gibson ’88, and Adolis Garcia’s extra inning walk off. And then…there were also other games. We recap the series, giv…

The Astros have been dispatched in what their fans surely think is a grand, unfair conspiracy that goes all the way to the top, and the Rangers will look for that elusive first World Series title against either the Phillies or Diamondbacks. We look at the possible matchups and how the Rangers got here, and look at Dusty’s career with news that he m…

Not a big week for currrent Cubs news, but a big week for former Cubs that weren’t offered a contract by our team. Schwarber and Castellanos are bombing the Phillies into a 2-0 lead in the NLCS, while the Rangers take two in Houston. We also talk a little about the playoff format and how it does or doesn’t favor the best teams, and peruse the lette…

Without much Cubs news and with Kevin out of town in Vegas to presumably bet on the Cubbies, friend of the pod Evan Hernandez (Amazon Prime) pinch hits for a playoff recap. We talk about the four Wild Card sweeps, the electric Philly/Atlanta series, whether or not Clayton Kershaw is a certified October choke artist, and the Texas Rangers reaping th…

Welp, our big postseason episode turned out to be a "post-season" episode. A brutal final week finished an excruciating final month that found the Cubs on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. Despite a 90+% chance to make the playoffs in early September, the team ran out of gas at a critical time. We talk about the final week and how we'l…

What a week: Ross smack-talking the Pirates after a bad loss, the Cubs sweeping the Rockies, and then maybe the worst loss of the year as the Cubs blow a 6-0 lead at the Braves, after a shockingly misplayed fly ball. We reset where the Cubs and the other Wild Card contenders are with five games to go, talk about Suzuki’s misplayed ball in right aft…

Here’s two things that are true: this week sucked, and this season is as good as it could have ever reasonably been. We go over the awful trip to Colorado and Arizona where the Cubs gave away their entire Wild Card cusion and another tie-breaker to the Diamondbacks, but also find ourselves on a bit of an island because, with the Cubs still .5 games…

New episode is up and Adam & Kevin have a lot to talk about! After a terrific sweep of the Giants the Cubs lost the first three to the suddenly hot Arizona Diamondbacks, wasting stellar starts from Taillon and Cy Steele in the process. The Cubbies managed to salvage the final game of the series Sunday and won a nail biter in Colorado last night. Wi…

Justin Steele’s gem against the Giants has finally made the national media start to wake up to our ace and legitimate Cy Young candidate, and Seiya Suzuki is finding the gear that made him a superstar in Japan. Add that to the fact that Assad has basically turned into early season Stroman, and this is really, truly feeling like a playoff team. We a…

Jordan Wicks made one of the more dominating debuts we’ve ever seen from a Cubs pitcher, and has joined a next-man-up rotation that has been solidified by some amazing Javier Assad performances that have kept the Cubs within striking distance of the Brewers. The Cubs start the most impactful series of the year (so far) Monday night against those ve…

Good news: this isn’t the end. We’re gonna have a season 3, but let’s sum up what happened at the end of season 2: SAMANTHA. More than we thought we’d get. A tremendously emotional Steve and Miranda scene. Then: the big dinner party. Nya getting some honor we’ve never heard of, having a sad moment, then a lot of funny/sexy stuff with Toussaint from…

Last episode, the Cubs had finally crept into playoff position. Now, as they remain in wild card position, 3.5 games back of Milwaukee, we’ve decided we have reached the point where we should expect this team to grab one of those six spots. We talk about how Morel’s one swing against the Sox could have swung the season, and certainly swung the vibe…

Well, we didn’t expect this today: And Just Like That has been renewed for a season 3. For us? We love it. The AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers) are trying to keep this, and everything else creative, from ever happening again. But if those goons ever agree to anything close to reasonable working conditions for writers and …

As we approach the Last Supper at Carrie’s old apartment, will it be OUR very last supper with this show, ever?! With Steve’s Coney Island happy ending and Carrie checking off items on her New York bucket list, it feels like we might be getting close to tying it all up. Charlotte gets loaded after work, Miranda witnesses Che’s Miranda-centric stand…

Well, the Cubs had themselves a confusing week. After losing the rubber game on a frustrating fake rally in the 9th inning vs the Mets, the Cubs won two of three against a strong Blue Jays team with Adam in attendance on Friday. Naturally they lost on Sunday because that's kinda their thing, and last night saw them drop the opener of a quick two ga…

Carrie and Aidan are making big moves, to big places, with big baggage, and it feels like it could be the beginning of our ending. Miranda and Charlotte turn into kids again as they watch their kids start turning into adults, Nya throws herself into the world of Tinder until she gets a rude Instagram awakening, Seema straight up copy/pastes a Saman…

For the first time since the season got serious, the Cubs are (by .001% points) in a playoff spot, at the time of recording. We talk about the great week of series wins against Reds and Braves, the Summer of Tauchman, Taillon’s return to form, the one lineup swap we would make, and more. Follow us at @awaygamespod on all the things and follow @adam…

In this (pretty good!) episode, Carrie decides Mr. Big was the wrong way to go, it should have been Aidan forever, they have a sexy hotel week, and Aidan is very funny in how he tells a neighbor who they are. Miranda goes back to the internship she ditched, Charlotte has a very relatable struggle with her body until she finds out someone is heavier…

New episode is up and Adam & Kevin have a lot to talk about! After an impressive 8 game winning streak that featured multiple HR robberies, Miles Mikolas acting like an absolute dink, and the bats coming alive, the Cubs played themselves into being buyers at the deadline. Two Monday deals added former Cub Jeimer Candelario and KC right reliever Jos…

It's February 14, which you might not even understand or have heard of if you're a BOY! We've got Anthony on Drew Barrymore's morning show, a poet with a big ol' baguette, Miranda back on the dating scene with a voice actress, Charlotte on brownies, Rock as America's Top Model, Nya with a soufflé, LTW cockblockin' at 100%, and everyone yelling at r…

Kevin is out this week so our number one pinch hitter Ken Schultz (Outsports) joins Adam to talk about all things Cubs! Belli has been white hot, Swanson is back and looking sharp, and a 6-1 stretch has the Cubs two games under .500 as we approach the trade deadline. We talk about whether the Cubs should be buyers or sellers, what a potential sello…

This episode had a lot that felt like old Sex and the City! That’s a good thing. Charlotte walks the walk as sex-positive mom, Carrie goes to Widowpalooza, Miranda has all the spooning and all the breakups, and there’s a great (night) brunch scene about keeping in touch with exes. Which leads to, of course…an email to the #1 ex. To get more movies …

We’re stuck in the middle with this team, and this podcast is a lot of big picture talk about what to think about how we got here and where we’re going. Already in a hole, the Cubs stumbled against an OK Boston team before recovering (mostly) against the hapless Nats, and now we’re in a spot where we need the hottest run of the year from our Cubs t…

The first Halloween episode in Sex and the City history? We’ll take it, even if LTW and Nya were the only ones to put on an actual cosutme. Carrie blocks a bike, is relieved when the guy turns out to be rich (read: dateable), then dumps him when he works two days in a row. Charlotte & Harry do a great couples costume then deal with Rock getting a m…

You know what, this was a good Cubs week! Justin Steele represented the Cubs at the All Star Game, and pitched shutout inning on his birthday. The NL broke a nearly decade-long losing streak, and the Home Run Derby was a fun time. The Cubs went into the break with a series win over the Yankees that included Jameson Taillon’s best appearance as a Cu…

Guess what? We loved this. A good, old school Sex and the City episode with wacky stuff going on, goofy sexy laughs and as a bonus, a pile of guest stars. Candy Berg, Billy D, Victor Garber, Gloria Steinem, oh my! There are empty climaxes (Charlotte/Harry), a pair of terrible parents (LTW & MR LTW), a return to a more realistic, non-sociopathic hum…

Kevin is out of town this week so Sara Sanchez pinch hit (her wRC+ is outstanding). Anyway, a 1-5 homestand after a tough loss in London was certainly not what the doctor ordered. Nor was blowing a 6-0 lead in Milwaukee on Monday in a series the Cubs really, really need to win. The good news? Ian Happ made two phenomenal throws yesterday, one to ke…

Two things off the top, fair warning: 1) audio a little different from normal, apologies, and 2) this is our least favorite episode in the entire damn series…so far. Carrie struggles while recording her audiobook, and there are some nice, genuine thoughts about grief — mainly from Bitsy Von Muffling. LTW and Charlotte make the Milf list (cool) then…

A great first 10 innings in London ended with a bobble and a thud, as the Cubs missed a chance to get back to .500 (for now). After another Taillon blowup back at Wrigley, we talk about where this rotation is as the Cubs look at a two week run-in to the All-Star break that could very well define what this season is: compete, sell, somewhere in betw…

Last week on the pod, Adam manifested a Cubs' three game winning streak. As of this recording over a week later, the Cubs have only lost one game during that stretch. After sweeping the former first place Pirates and taking two of three from the upstart Orioles at Wrigley, the Cubs got right back to their winning ways in Pittsburgh this week. After…

Carrie does NOT want to say the V-word, and she enlists her F-buddy to avoid the V-word in several writing sessions. Miranda hits AA and loses her phone on the beach and meets Che’s husband (for real), Charlotte becomes furious at her daughter for selling dresses to pursue her art, Seema is the queen of red flags, LTW welcomes the world’s most anno…

The ladies — SO MANY LADIES — are back, and so are your fellas to talk about it all. We begin with a sexy montage to catch us up on who everybody is boning at the moment (or what Netflix they’re watching), and most of our gals plus Anthony make their way to the Met Ball. Carrie’s struggling to DTR with her podcast producer boy toy, Miranda is in LA…

In part 1, Adam flies solo to discuss the Cubs' disappointing west coast swing. The good? Stroman continues to shove, Kyle Hendricks almost made history, and Mash Mervis hit a ball into McCovey Cove. The bad? Pretty much all the other stuff, including the Cubs apparently not being interested in extending Marcus Stroman...yet. THEN (at 13:00 minute …

After a frustrating end to the Tampa Bay series that saw the Cubs squander a late chance to walk off the Rays for a series sweep, the Cubs have taken 2 of 3 from San Diego with Kyle Hendricks on the bump later tonight. Positives: Amaya is back up and raking, Stro continues his dominant ways and Taillon is starting to look like the guy we were hopin…
