In 231 the boys are back in town, after a worthy hiatus. Benny went to see the Cubs, and RZ went to SEA. There's much to learn in this episode, as RZ's mind was opened as he received his first dose of the newly erected Ken Griffey Jr. Statue at Safeco Field. Benny's mind was opened as well, with Old Style beers at Wrigley Field. In the vein of baseball, the boys also discuss their supreme appreciation for Mike Trout. They also discuss Mariners under cover stars for the 2017 season, as well as Aaron "Judge Dredd" Judge of the rival Yankees. Turns out, he turns the common fastball into his bitch. Finally, the boys close out with a new installment. The Action Hero Fight Bracket. Listen to that section, as it's awfully insightful. GET INTO 231!
230 comes correct with the annual installment of "Season Predictions" for MLB. Also, the annual installment of "Green Fields of the Mind" by the late, great, Bart Giamatti. The boys also discuss the filthiness of You Better Call Saul. Get ready for that. Also, a quick check in on Vin Scully's replacement. This is a fine episode for baseball enthusiasts, as well as people who like sweet shit.
229 brings the heat, as expected. The show kicks off with a little discussion of how good Benny and RZ are at basketball. That somehow evolves into the boys discussing 80's style fighting games i.e.Streets of Rage and Final Fight. This leads to talk of Stallone, and stories directly from Sly's mouth (specifically discussing Mr.T). Randomly, the fellas start talking about The Wizard of Oz and the midgets surrounding the film. Oh yeah, Val Kilmer talk finds its way into the conversation as well. This is good stuff. Got some fan mail going too.
