Royals Baseball Predictions: Can They Go All the Way?

Hank is fired up for the MLB season and has high hopes for his beloved Kansas City Royals:

“Spring training’s good. Looking forward to the coming baseball season. And I hope my Royals go all the way to win the World Series this year.”

He even speculates on a dream matchup: Royals vs Giants in the World Series. Imagine the drama! Hank’s favorite players include Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez, two names that Royals fans know and love.

Ryan, ever the realist, questions whether the Royals have the depth to make it happen, but Hank’s confidence never wavers. If you’re a baseball fan, this segment will get you hyped for the season ahead.

Concert Bucket List: Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter & More

When Hank isn’t talking baseball, he’s dreaming about concerts. His bucket list includes:

• Olivia Rodrigo – The breakout star behind drivers license and good 4 u.
• Sabrina Carpenter – Hank calls her “freaking hot” and loves her hit Espresso.
• iHeartRadio Music Festival – The ultimate event for pop music fans.

“I wish I could see her in concert someday, but unfortunately, I can’t because I’m dumb and broke.”

Ryan quickly reassures him: “You’re not dumb, Hank. And we’re going to fix the broke problem. We’re going to become millionaires off of this.”

This segment is pure fun, with Hank and Ryan debating their favorite pop stars and fantasizing about future shows.
