National League wins historic 2025 All-Star Game, Cal Raleigh crowned Home Run Derby champ
2025's edition of the Mid-Summer Classic turned out to be a first of its kind on Tuesday night. At the center of it was a player who is no stranger to the dramatic. The NL jumped out to a 6-0 lead heading into the seventh inning, but the AL came storming back. The game remained tied at the end of nine innings. The result turned out to be the first ever home run swing-off. Each team had three batters with three swings each. Whoever hit the most home runs was to be declared the winner. Down two home runs, the Phillies Kyle Schwarber hit a hat-trick of home runs to give the NL the win. Schwarber was named the MVP. Jake and Jordan talk about the electric finish to the night. Advertisement The game's end was not the only highlight of the night. MLB showed out in style in the ATL, including a red carpet entrance earlier in the day. Three home runs, before the swing-off, Kershaw mic'd up while pitching, the ABS challenge system being used, and Misiorowski entering in the eighth are just a few of the many standout moments from the game. Jake and Jordan discuss everything that happened at Truist Park. Tuesday night was not the only night of drama this week. Monday night's Home Run Derby lived up to its billing, but the winner was not who everyone expected. The man who leads MLB in home runs, but was not the favorite in the Derby, came away with the win. Cal Raleigh put on a show after barely making it out of the first round. It was a family affair with Raleigh's brother catching and his dad pitching. Jake and Jordan both did not pick 'The Big Dumper' to win, but they discuss his impressive Home Run Derby performance. From Truist Park, get the immediate All-Star Game reaction from the guys on this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast. Kyle Schwarber wins the All-Star Game for the NL on a home run swing-off.

Netflix boss doesn't regret The Residence axing despite Emmy nominations
Netflix boss Bela Bajaria doesn't regret cancelling The Residence despite its Emmy nominations. The streaming giant's chief content officer has reflected on her decision to scrap the murder mystery comedy - which starred Uzo Abuda as police consultant Cordelia Cupp - after the show received a number of nominations for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards. Asked if she has second guessed the decision to pull the plug, Bela told The Hollywood Reporter: "No, because I always knew she'd be recognised." Uzo was shortlisted in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category, while the show's first episode The Fall of the House of Usher has been nominated for Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Single Episode. The episode is also in the running for Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Contemporary Program (One Hour Or More). Bela insisted she "loves" the series, and has no regrets about the news of its cancellation dropping two weeks before the Emmy nominations. She said: "No, I don't really look at when the news or not the news… I think was is great is — we love The Residence. We championed it, we made it. "Uzo [Aduba] has been part of the Netflix family for a long time and has been recognized before for awards. So, she gave an incredible performance. "Not surprised at all by her nom. We thought that she would and should absolutely get it. So, to me, that's great, that work. That work was completed and people loved it, and she was amazing and then gets recognised for it." She claimed the focus is more on how "great" the programme and Uzo both were. Bela also claimed Netflix will back cancelled shows in award season just as much as those on air. She added: "We're gonna support— yeah! I mean for her and the show, like, we did — of course. "Here's the thing: I think what people forget is, like I said before, we developed it, we championed it, we really marketed — we did all of the things. "And they're all people involved who we work with and continue to work with and will continue to — so we're always going to support that, for sure."

Now sober, the podcaster admitted she made several errors of judgment in her hard-partying years. Appearing on the Boyfriend Material with Harry Jowsey podcast, Tish, 58, revealed she had accidentally consumed too much cannabis at one of Miley's birthday parties, held at Beachers Madhouse in Los Angeles. Tish explained, 'Miley would have parties there and it was a whole thing, but this was actually before I smoked, and I ate some brownies at the party.' After taking herself home, Tish woke up two hours later to realise, "everything was spinning and I was coming freaking unglued", she recalled.
