Unrelatable Livvy Dunne, Texas flood fallout, YouTube breastfeeding videos, James Charles' new oopsie, Tom Brady's summer flings, Joe Burrow needs a GoFundMe, Maz worked out, and Jim's Picks: Top 10 Black Sabbath Songs. Word on the street is that Lawrence Tech will let Bentley miss the 45-yard FG under the lights. Trainwreck: The Real Project X on Netflix is a fun watch. South Park was supposed to start today, but got pushed back again. Thanks a lot, Paramount. Maz showed up at the Planet Fitness workout today! Then he went to the Detroit Tigers game and assaulted the buffet and negated all his gains. Drew suggests watching Paul Rudd's Friendship, but you're not allowed to bill him if you don't like it.

   The Royals have done something nobody saw coming.  They are hitting, winning and suddenly we have to look at them differently after winning 4 in a row and 6 out of 7.   Because they surged to a playoff series win last year AND they want to build a new stadium... I'm guessing the Royals are about to be buyers in the trade market.   At Big 12 media days, KU Athletic Director Travis Goff talks about their new football stadium opening August 23 and in doing so promises something historic around the corner.  Goff says the next announcement in fundraising has never been done in college athletics history.  We are all ears.    Gymnast and social media influencer Livvy Dunne thought she had a New York apartment purchased with boyfriend pitcher for the Pirates Paul Skenes.  Then the owners pulled the offer.  She posted a video about it and seemed really hurt because that apartment was Babe Ruth's home in 1929.    The Secret Service has suspended six agents involved at the Trump shooting in Pennsylvania one year ago.  Job gains for Americans are in the millions as  those for non-Americans falling off a cliff.    Chief of Staff Susie Wiles does a rare interview talking about what happened between Mr. Trump and Elon Musk.  And homeowners and those who want to be homeowners are about to get some breaks.    Our Final Final is quarterback Kirk Cousins with a nifty little hack at Great Clips.

Yerrrr! The Need to Know squad sat down with the one and only Mero — Bronx legend, multi-hyphenate menace, and certified culture shifter. From smoke shop runs and wrap flavors you've never heard of (00:49) to building his own creative empire, Mero delivers nonstop laughs, real game, and signature BX energy. He breaks down why TV is cooked and YouTube is king (05:51), raising his beautiful children (17:29), and his hilarious theory that Babe Ruth might've been Black (24:25). He explains why licensing your content is the real power move (30:47) and how he's building Victory Light like the Dominican Dick Wolf (33:07). We get personal with stories about giving fans love at Dave's Hot Chicken (40:41), and being inspired early by Combat Jack (42:40). Mero shares how Marlon Wayans gave him game (58:11), and how Denzel Washington taught him to move with an “attitude of gratitude” (01:00:15). He also talks about co-hosting with Carmelo Anthony on 7PM in Brooklyn and why it's deeper than content (01:37:18). Oh — and yes, Mero answers the age-old question: What's harder — being a Knicks fan or coaching little kids in football? (01:24:19). Mero closes it out with a classic BX take — Yankees fans are spoiled, Mets fans are built different (01:42:14). From gems to jokes, legacy talk to hood stories, this one's special. Tap in!

If you think about the 1920s in the United States, a few things might come to mind—jazz, prohibition, Babe Ruth, and, right at the end, the Wall Street Crash. And if you think of crime, you probably think of Al Capone, bootlegging, and fast-talking wise guys with Tommy guns. But the 1920s were also in some ways the nation's introduction to crimes that could shock and horrify the entire country. Leopold and Loeb's thrill killing, the kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, the utter horror of child-killer and cannibal Albert Fish. And possibly the most prolific killer of the decade was a man whose strange desires sent him on a trail of murder all across a continent.Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Ellen Adair and Brennan Brown talk about the brand-new instant-classic baseball film EEPHUS. Ellen introduces Brennan (0:40), and then the film (3:50) overviewing its festival appearances, the director Carson Lund, and some of the cast. They summarize the film (10:40) and review the 20-80 scouting scale (13:25) and talk about the scouting director to whom Brennan will be reporting Eephus's grades (14:30). They begin with Amount of Baseball (18:50), discussing this film's tool-defining wealth of baseball in numerous ways. Baseball Accuracy (26:37) delves into the baseball ability as depicted, and some of the questionable ball/strike calls that end the game. Ellen brings up an apparent What Inning Is It discrepancy that is not what it seems, and Graham as the MIA third base coach. They discuss Franny's paraphrasing of the baseball quotes in the film from Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Branch Rickey, Rickey Henderson and Yogi Berra. Ellen, scarred from REVERSE THE CURSE, has some trauma around the amount of Yankee content in a Massachusetts-based movie, which gets the scouts into a heated conversation. They talk about the definition and history of the eephus pitch, discussing Rip Sewell, Maurice van Robays, Ted Williams, Fernando Abad, Luis Tiant, Yu Darvish, Steve Hamilton, Phil Niekro, Dave LaRoche, Carlos Zambrano, Vicente Padilla, Satchel Paige, Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill, Zack Greinke, Brock Holt, and, of course, Bill Lee. A small sidebar on position players pitching, and a longer dive into some delightful Easter eggs with Bill Lee's appearance in the film, and its magical realism. In Storytelling (1:03:45), our scouts discuss the tradition of slow cinema and how that applies to EEPHUS. They marvel at the way information is skillfully planted for the audience to put together, and appreciate the even-handedness of the depictions of the teams, if with some disagreements about the way the audience's empathy is guided. The fact that no one else besides the men involved care much about the game feels important, as does the fall setting, and this season as a thematic character. They discuss the film's relationship of comedy to tragedy. Brennan brings up GOODBYE DRAGON INN, and thinking about transcendental filmmaking leads to a conversation about being present, acting, baseball, time, mortality, and the spiritual exercise of play. The metaphor of the fireworks is explored. The Score Tool (1:51:26) discusses Carson Lund's percussive score and the use of radio as background scoring. In Acting (1:56:56) they discuss the performances of Russell J. Gannon, Cliff Blake, Keith William Richards, David Torres Jr., Ray Hryb, Peter Minkarah, David Pridemore, Theodore Bouloukos, Ethan Ward, Patrick Garrigan, Conner Marx, Brendan Burt, and the commendable evenness of tone across the whole ensemble. Delightfulness of Catcher Character (2:09:28) discusses the performances of John R. Smith, Jr, as John and Chris Goodwin as Garrett. Brennan is vulnerable with a personal trial that mirrors a moment in the film. Delightfulness of Announcer (2:22:23) considers the presences of Frederick Wiseman and Joe Castiglione. Lack of Misogyny (2:26:00) addresses Bobby's light moment of misogyny, balancing the film's intent with lack of full female characters. They also discuss the film's view of male friendship and male loneliness. No spoilers on the following segments: Yes or No (2:36:26) Six Degrees of Baseball (2:40:49) Favorite Moment (2:41:10) Least Favorite Moment (2:45:50) Scene We'd Like to See (2:46:01) Dreamiest Player (2:48:20) Favorite Performance (2:49:40).

On June 28, 1997, David Wells wore Babe Ruth's cap, valued then at $35,000, for one inning during a pitching performance - the Yankees fined Wells $2,500. In September 1988, Dave Dravecky was diagnosed with a desmoid tumor in his left arm. He attempted a return in 1989. In his second appearance during a pitch in the fifth inning his humerus bone snapped.

Johnny Mize is the answer to one of baseball's great trivia questions. You have to listen to find out what it is, but trust me, it's one of Major League Baseball's great statistics, something not even legends such as Babe Ruth, Henry Aaron, or Willie Mays can lay claim to. Mize had a terrific eye at the plate, especially for a power hitter. For his career, he hit 359 homeruns, had a career batting average of .312, and a career OPS of .959. Yet, one could argue, his career was overlooked. This could be because when he played for the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants, neither team made it to the post-season. Plus, Mize missed three of his prime years when he served during World War II in 1943, 1944, and 1945. The "Big Cat's" most notable years, however, just might have been the final five when he moved into a part-time role with the New York Yankees and he contributed to one of the game's greatest dynasties when the Bronx Bombers won five straight World Series, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, and 1953. On this episode of Sports' Forgotten Heroes, I take a look back at the career of Johnny Mize with special guest Jerry Grillo who wrote the book, "Big Cat, The Life of Baseball Hall of Famer Jonny Mize."

Oh, poor, poor Anthony Volpe! The Yankees' golden boy, who definitely wasn't overhyped at all, is now bravely battling the unimaginable hardship of... well, not hitting like Babe Ruth every single second. After all, it's not like he's a highly paid professional athlete playing on one of the most storied franchises in sports. He's just trying his best, bless his heart, even if his "best" occasionally involves bunting to set up the eight and nine hitters in the lineup. The struggle is real, folks, and you absolutely won't believe what the Yankees are doing (or not doing!) to help this beleaguered superstar!

There are very few general managers in the Hall of Fame, but that doesn't mean your local team executive doesn't know what he's doing—it's just that there are only so many obvious choices to make in any baseball season whether your name sounds something like “Ranch Bickey” or “Cryin' Rashman.” Then, following a quick stop with Babe Ruth and a close-mouthed Lou Gehrig, we visit Cleveland Indians camp in 1938 for a manager who was too insensitive to handle a troubled catcher—and his drawer full of shirts. The Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. America's brighter mirror, baseball reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman shares his obsessions: history from inside and outside of the game, politics, stats, and Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

Hour 1 The Knicks' coaching search is narrowing, with Rick Pitino emphasizing the immense pressure facing the new hire. Jeff Van Gundy is a strong candidate, while Mike Malone is reportedly out. In other sports news, Pete Alonso homered twice in the Mets' win, the Yankees were shut out, and there's drama with Gilbert Arenas criticizing Karl-Anthony Towns, and a public spat between Sal Licata and Dan Dakich over the Thibs firing. Michelle Beadle was replaced by Stephen A. Smith with little notice, and the Oilers took Game 1 against the Panthers in overtime. Hour 2 The Knicks' coaching situation continues to dominate discussion, with Rick Pitino advising Karl-Anthony Towns to reduce his body fat. Callers drew parallels to the Yankees' successful transition from Buck Showalter to Joe Torre, hoping for a similar outcome for the Knicks. In other sports, the Mets defeated the Dodgers with Pete Alonso hitting two home runs, while the Yankees were shut out by the Guardians. Rick Pitino also weighed in on Aaron Judge, calling him a "Babe Ruth type player," and expressed shock at the Thibs firing, a sentiment echoed by Adam Schein and Chris Russo—the latter misnaming Leon Rose as "Leon Hess." The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Off the field, comedian Jeff Garlin reportedly refused to perform at an event due to an $800 cash dispute. Finally, a caller suggested Juan Soto's improved performance is simply due to him enjoying the game, rather than a Mets/Yankees rivalry. Hour 3 Michael Rubin, CEO of Fanatics, joined the show to discuss Fanatics Fest happening later this month at the Javits Center. In sports updates, the Mets beat the Dodgers with Juan Soto walking three times and Pete Alonso hitting two homers, while Griffin Canning had another strong start. The Yankees were shut out by Cleveland. We heard an uncomfortable clip of Dave Portnoy yelling at Kirk Minihane, and Michelle Beadle reacted to being replaced by Stephen A. Smith on their SiriusXM show. The Oilers won Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals in overtime. Off the field, Wayne Gretzky was trying to understand Chappell Roan's "Pink Pony Club." Finally, the discussion turned to MLB's new rule allowing two ball/strike challenges per team starting next season, with concern that it might slow down games after successful efforts to speed them up. Hour 4 The show discussed the Fanatics Fest event, where everyday individuals can compete against professional athletes, detailing the various challenges. Saquon Barkley made headlines with a surprising comment about a potential sudden retirement. Jerry's final update covered the Mets beating the Dodgers behind two Pete Alonso home runs, and the Yankees being shut out by Cleveland. Rick Carlisle thought the Knicks' Thibs firing as a "fake A-I story," leading to a humorous debate about whether Stephen A. Smith or Chris Russo would prefer to be President or Head Coach of the Knicks. The Oilers defeated the Panthers in overtime to win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The "Moment of The Day" involved Gio mispronouncing "unkillable" as "unlikeable" when referring to BT's podcast. The show concluded with a discussion of the NBA's reaction to the Thibs firing.

Episode 299 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we're finishing our block of episodes on the greatest players in the history of the Negro Leagues.It could be argued that Oscar Charleston was one of the greatest baseball players of the 20th Century.After lying about his age to get into the U.S. Army at 15, Charleston left the Philippines to pursue a career in professional baseball in 1915 with the Indianapolis ABCs.Though barred from playing in Major League Baseball due to his skin color, Charleston was the premier player of his era.Though a pitcher originally, the left-handed Charleston found a home in center field where established himself as one of baseball's finest “five tool players” of all time for a number of teams.Compared to such greats as Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby, Charleston was electric at the plate and in the field.He won three Triple Crowns, had a lifetime .365 batting average in American play, helped the Pittsburgh Crawfords beat the New York Cubans in the 1935 Championship and was a three-time All-Star in the Negro Leagues.His play overseas in Cuba during the 1930s was incredible, and he remains a legendary figure in baseball to this day. Though other players who came after him in the Negro Leagues might receive more notoriety, Charleston is in a class of his own for what he put on display during his career.Connect with us on Instagram!Chris Quinn: @cquinncomedyDominic DiTolla: @ditolladominicProducer: @ty_englestudioInstagram: @thesportsexperiencepodcastIf you enjoy this podcast, please help support us @:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sports-experience-pod/support#sportspodcast#comedypodcast #oscarcharleston#baseballplayer#baseball

Ellen Adair and Eric Gilde discuss the 1992 Babe Ruth biopic, "The Babe." They introduce the film (1:36), with an overview of the script, the cast, and filmmakers, and review the 20-80 baseball scouting grades for rating the film (4:05). Amount of Baseball (10:01) is surprisingly baffling for a relatively objective tool, but our scouts try to parse the true amount given the unsatisfying, nothing-but-dingers nature of the gameplay. There is a sad player comp. Baseball Accuracy (15:00) dives in on this film's Babe Ruth pitcher erasure, including striking out Ty Cobb, and inaccuracies with Ruth's first career game and his performance in the 1916 World Series. His time with the Orioles and Jack Dunn also elided, with some unfortunate consequences including the creation of his nickname. Some examination of very young George as a rapscallion, his home life, and his time at St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys, plus Brother Matthias accuracy. Did Babe Ruth ever come late to a game drunk? There are many, many timeline problems, particularly with Claire and Helen. Ellen plays a game of What Year Is It. Discussion of Joe Dugan, Dorothy, Ruth punching an umpire, Ernie Shore's "combined" no-hitter, Eddie Bennett, Harry Frazee's sale of Ruth, the Called Shot, the Johnny Sylvester story, the feud with Lou Gehrig, and Ruth's "milk." Ruth's relationship with Miller Huggins, and his desire to become a manager himself, including anecdotes with Frank Navin and Connie Mack, are examined. WTF is up with the depiction of Ruth's athleticism, (including his purported use of a courtesy runner)? The final game has as many problems as the rest of the film. Storytelling (1:04:02) highlights this film's main problems: the classic biopic problem of trying to tell the entire life story, timeline jumbles, and the depiction of Ruth as a dumb man-child. Yankee Stadium propaganda. Ellen has a list of Unanswerable Questions. Score (1:20:10) envisions the scenario in which consummate professional Elmer Bernstein was asked to compose the music for this film. Acting (1:23:13) discusses this disappointing John Goodman performance, backed by a whole lot of It's Fine. Ellen uplifts one Trini Alvarado moment. Delightfulness of Catcher (1:29:00) had so many good catcher names and Ruth's own catcher feats as possible fodder, but nothing is made of them. Delightfulness of Announcer (1:30:31) considers the culpability of the announcers for the inaccuracies. Lack of Misogyny (1:33:40) has much to contend with given Ruth's biographical philandering, but somehow this movie makes it so, so much worse.
