Opening Day 2025 has arrived! Bob Carpenter announced his retirement from the MASN booth on Monday, and joined Grant & Danny to talk about why – and from one spectrum to another, our radio voice, Charlie Slowes, tackles some Gen Z lingo to stay hip! That plus The Junkies’ season preview, Rooster (and BMitch & Finlay) battling baseball fans, and G&D investigating why fans still boo Bryce Harper – all on this week’s Best of Nationals!

What will the Commanders do with the No. 29 pick - will they grab someone for now or the future, or maybe trade it (either down or for a player like Trey Hendrickson)? This week's Best of Commanders hits all of that note, plus some thoughts on the futures, good and/or bad, of a few key players!
