I’m a rabid Cubs fan but I’d listen to this pod no matter what. And, I’m now obsessed with buying some Parce rum.
Chapstick anyone?

I do love the baseball talk but I especially love how much these guys are in love with and talk about chapstick! Makes me laugh out loud! Keep up the good work guys!
Join the club!

Hit M Hi

I love this pod - no matter what happens in baseball, this pod will be interesting - because they have stories and guests. And hearing about when the benches clear or who gets to sit at the back of the plane, or AB’s - and what that all feels like - is more interesting than the final score. And the MLB guests are great because they go from people who I know nothing about, to having an identity and being likable. Everyone who plays baseball I hope will come on this pod- it’s much more interesting to hear the conversations on The Compound than answering a list of questions on other sports shows. The hosts do a great job - the end comes too fast ;). Thank you!
