This episode delivers a lively, laugh-filled mix of sport, stories and classic studio banter, as Shai and Geoff broadcast in the shadow of the Australian Baseball League grand final.

The episode dives head-first into the highs and heartbreak of the Sydney Blue Sox versus the Adelaide Giants, with live reactions, passionate commentary, hot-dog-stand tales and plenty of good-natured debating about strategy, sponsors and what it takes to win a championship.

Along the way, the conversation drifts — as it always does — through New Year fitness goals, famous baseball films, state rivalries, writing classes in Glebe, community centres, poetry readings and a loving tribute to Australian music legends, wrapped in a soundtrack that ranges from Steve Harley to Midnight Oil.

There are laughs, tangents, local what’s-ons and moments of reflection, all stitched together with warmth, humour and that unmistakable Breaking Waves energy.
