Why does the host refuse to be 'Tinkled' anymore in this alcohol-fueled Giants podcast?

This episode features hosts Matthew and another co-host reflecting on a previous segment about Chase Tinkler. The hosts are fans analyzing the San Francisco Giants' managerial search. They revisit a comedic rant from a prior episode that they now consider excessive. The episode centers on the hosts' apology for an extended bit criticizing Chase Tinkler as a potential bench coach. They reference Tinkler's perceived shortcomings compared to Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. The hosts admit the segment was overly long and featured a screechy vocal delivery. They contrast their vocal styles, with one host joking about the other's "dulcet sweet tones." A surprising insight is the host's admission of being "pretty deep into my cups" during the original Tinkler rant. The apology is delivered with self-aware irony, acknowledging listeners "deserve better" while doubting they'll receive it. The hosts' dynamic involves playful blame over who allowed the rant to continue in editing. The episode humorously frames Dave Roberts as making a hypothetical Tinkler look "like a little child riding a tricycle." The tone is highly conversational, self-deprecating, and filled with inside jokes. The style is informal and comedic, focusing on host banter more than baseball analysis. Listeners who enjoy the hosts' specific camaraderie and meta-commentary on their own show would love this episode. Those seeking serious baseball discussion or analysis of new manager Tony Vitello should skip it.
