Kai Wagner Comes Home, the Phillies’ Playoff Push and the Rising Price of Being a Fan
Episode 505
Friday, 18 September, 2026

Philadelphia Union star Kai Wagner joins the show this week to discuss his unexpected return to the club, the emotional welcome he received at Subaru Park, and how renewed belief helped fuel the Union’s remarkable turnaround. Wagner also talks about mentoring the team’s young players, bringing a fighter’s mentality to the field, making Philadelphia home for his family and supporting children affected by pediatric cancer.Then we also debate the rising cost of attending games after Sixers ticket prices soared, the differences between European and American stadium experiences, and the growing complications created by gambling in college sports. Plus, they examine Aaron Nola’s late-season resurgence, the Phillies’ unsettled bullpen, and the race for home-field advantage in the National League Wild Card round.
