Big Boys Don't Bunt Paddy Johnston

It’s our first ever guest episode! We had loads of fun talking about the brilliant Hong Kong baseball film Weeds on Fire with our good friend and comics legend Josh Hicks.

Weeds on Fire is on Netflix, and you can check out Josh’s work on his website.

If we record it, you will listen! On this episode we discuss the eighties classic FIELD OF DREAMS. We also chat about the CPBL and the KBO, and the baseball that’s been getting us through lockdown.

We’ve had a long offseason, but we are finally back! As we’ve been away for a long time, we thought we’d come back with a doubleheader and talk about two baseball films: Everybody Wants Some!! And The Natural. We also talk about the CPBL (go Uni-President Lions), enjoying baseball in lockdown, and the puns are flowing.

On this episode we discuss the seminal baseball film Moneyball! We also chat about the Yankees’ facial hair policy, submarine pitchers, playing small ball, and are grateful that the Blue Jays aren’t the Orioles.

We go back to ’93 in this week’s episode, and not just because it was the Jays’ second consecutive World Series win…it was also the year that ROOKIE OF THE YEAR was released! We also talk about crying in baseball, Keanu Reeves’ surprising start in acting, John Kruk’s cheesesteak empire, and Barry Bonds’ illegal use of asthma inhalers.
