    Cutting Up Cardboard

    This week on the No Bad Hops Podcast, we're pouring a cold one and talking baseball with Taylor @ripzncutz a passionate Seattle Mariners supporter and a talented custom card creator, Taylor joins the show to share his unique perspective on the game and the hobby. We start our conversation by diving into the Mariners' 2025 season. Taylor gives us his take on the team's performance, their recent moves at the trade deadline, and the future of the organization with a look at their farm system. He also breaks down the stellar, MVP-caliber season of "Big Dumper" himself, Cal Raleigh. As a seasoned veteran of T-Mobile Park, Taylor provides his insider tips on how to get the most out of a game day in Seattle. He'll tell you where to find the best seats, what to eat, and, of course, where to grab a beer before or after the game. Then, we shift gears to Taylor's other passion: creating custom sports cards. He gives us a peek behind the curtain, walking us through his creative process from concept to completion. Taylor showcases some of his favorite creations and discusses how the custom card community has grown to become a vibrant and essential part of the modern sports card hobby.

    Baseball, Beer and Boots in Madison, WI

    Anthony is joined for an engaging conversation with Tom Alesia, the author behind "Baseball Like It Oughta Be," a book all about how the Madison Mallards became summer-collegiate baseball's top draw. Anthony and Tom discuss how the book came to life, the Mallard's relentless pursuit of creating the best fan experience, the everflowing amount of beer in Madison, Wisconsin and whether or not New Glarus Spotted Cow is overrated. Anthony is sipping on Crackin Bats, a Cracker Jack Brown Ale from Ross Brewing and Ship Bottom Brewing (NJ). Tom pours a Bud Light (the first beer sponsor of the Madison Mallards 25 years ago) and then enjoys Potosi Brewing Company Varsity Golden Ale (WI).  You can follow Tom on Instagram @toma998 and you can purchase Baseball Like It Oughta Be on Amazon or at your favorite bookseller.The No Bad Hops Podcast: Swinging for the fences with twice-monthly episodes that blend a love for baseball and beer.
