Astros Do or Die, Oktoberfest and more | TWIH #57

In partnership with

Hello, Houston! First things first, Astros. Here is how the Astros can make the playoffs:

“Astros (85-74, 1 g

ame behind DET for 3rd AL Wild Card)

• Win tiebreaker vs: N/A

• Lose tiebreaker vs: Guardians, Red Sox, Tigers

The Astros have made the postseason in each of the past eight years, but even if they sweep the Angels this weekend, they’ll need some things to break their way elsewhere to extend their streak. Houston is not only one game out but would also lose tiebreakers to every team ahead of it. Most of the Astros’ playoff scenarios require them to win out, but they could also make it if they go 2-1 against the Angels and either the Guardians or the Tigers get swept.” - read more

Buying Cannabis Online Is Now Legal, And Incredibly Convenient

For years, buying cannabis meant taking a trip to a dispensary, dealing with long lines, limited selection, and inconsistent pricing. But thanks to changing laws and innovative online retailers, buying high-quality THC products is now 100% federally legal—and more convenient than ever.

And when it comes to quality and reliability, Mood is leading the way…

Because they’ve completely flipped the script on cannabis shopping. Instead of memorizing hundreds of confusing strain names – like “Gorilla Glue” and "Purple Monkey Breath" – you simply choose how you want to feel: Creative, Social, Focused, Relaxed, Happy, Aroused, and more.

Each gummy is formulated with the perfect blend of Delta-9 THC and botanicals to deliver the perfect mood.

Want a great night’s sleep? Try the Sleepytime gummies. Need laser focus Mind Magic gummies have you covered. Hotter sex? Try the Sexual Euphoria gummies.

It's cannabis shopping that actually makes sense for “normal” people.
