In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane and Bob talk about the kind of check-ins men don’t always make space for — the simple “you good?” that actually means something. They get into how they’ve both learned to look out for their people in a more real way, not just through jokes or quick texts. They touch on the basketball stuff that’s been on their minds lately — the Jordan and LeBron conversation, Steph lacing up a pair of Way of Wades, CP3 retiring, and how it feels when younger players show love to moments from their era. Dwyane shares a bit about what life’s been like off the court: hiking with his wife even though he hates nature, filming in Rome, and trying to plan her 50th with all the emotions that come with it. He also talks about turning 44 and paying closer attention to his health. They also go back and forth on the league right now — why the All-Star Game feels off, and why the in-season tournament actually adds something.

Conversations With Griff Presents Ellis Valentine Griff welcomes former Expos outfielder Ellis Valentine, discussing his career as a blossoming young Montreal baseball star in the '70s, derailed in the early '80s by injury and immaturity, from what once was a Hall-of-Fame career path, to finding himself out of MLB prematurely due to injury and a self-destructive lifestyle. The L.A. native talks about his journey from high school star, to second round draft pick in 1972, mentored by Mel Didier and Karl Kuehl in the Expos organization. He talks about similarities with the Jays' homegrown duo of Vlad Jr. and Bo Bichette, as he was linked in his early career with Hall-of-Fame catcher Gary Carter, advancing to the majors year by year from the same draft class and with similar potential. Valentine's big personality shines through as he talks about what it was like being young and an Expo, surrounded by a roster of like-minded friends, winning games in 1979-80, all in their early 20's all single and coming into their own together, with a fanbase that had a chance to get to know them in downtown srettings after almost every game. Ellis offers an opinion on what has happened to the African-American presence in the majors, his dislike of Gene Mauch, how he lost his peripheral vision for three full years after being hit in the face by Roy Thomas of the Cardinals, his trade to the Mets in 1981, his retirement, realizing he needed help and facing the problems head-on. A true Redemption Song of freedom.  INDEX: 0:00 – Intro 1:31 – 1972 Draft and Being Selected alongside Gary Carter and Bobby Goodman 3:15 – Great Throwing Arms of his Era + Addison Barger 6:50 – Remembering Mel Didier 8:17 – Power Outage Throwing Contest at Olympic Stadium 10:31 – Love of Montreal 12:00 – Being at Athlete in Montreal in the 1970's 15:10 – Growing up in LA and Love of Crenshaw High School 20:45 – MLB Moving Back Towards Contact Over Homeruns? 25:35 – Gene Mauch 32:25 – 1977 All-Star Game 35:30 – Unfortunate Decrease in African American Ball Players and How to Address it 44:10 – Gary Carter 51:10 – Outfielder Development 53:54 – Winter Meetings and Larry Doby 55:45 – Lack of Mentors for Young Players 57:05 – The Redemption of Ellis Valentine + Life After Baseball 1:08:00 - Outro ---- Get the audio version of "Griff's Conversations" and the "Exit Philosophy Podcast" wherever you get your podcasts, including: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast...

He's one of the best to ever play the game. They call him "The Machine."

He shares with us what questions he would have for Roberto if he could meet him. He also gives great advice for the young hitter.

Chad Chop also challenges him to a Trivia Contest, which you definitely don't wanna miss. Thank you for all you are Albert Pujols. Enjoy, rate, review, and SHARE!

Let me revisit something I talked about in the first hour. (12:00) Adam Silver had to respond to so many things happening right now in the NBA and the WNBA. Aspiration. The WNBA CBA negotiations. Kawhi Leonard. Cathy Engelbert. The All-Star Game. (24:00) Conor McDavid re-signed with the Edmonton Oilers. And he shocked everyone by taking far less money to do so. He was set to be a free agent after next season, but signed a 2-year extension for $25 million. Not per year. Total! (34:00) LeBron James is having another Decision. Nice. Can't wait. Is it an ad deal? (40:00) We have another lawsuit in Cleveland. That's what the new Browns stadium has become. (48:00) UEFA is mad. But not mad enough that it stopped La Liga teams from playing in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
