Podcasts about Griffey

When the talk is about English Coonhounds the name Bates is spoken with the same level of recognition and reverence as Petty in NASCAR or Griffey in baseball. Ed Bates, at 83 years old is still playing the coonhound game thanks to the family link to his son Scott, now 60. Scott has followed in his famous father's footsteps from a very young age. We join Ed and Scott to discuss their beginnings and that of the Hardtime English dogs for which they have been famous through the years. The discussion covers their beginnings in the sport, their competition and stud dog success with hounds like Red Bird, Hardtime Speck, Bates' Blue Cash, Meeks John, Hardtime Spider among their historic hounds and current standouts, The Dixie Chick and The Tennessee Stud. This a podcast for the purists in the coon hunter ranks that have been there, done that for a very long time but it will also resonate with beginners that love the sport's history and aspire to make a name in the sport themselves, notoriety that will hopefully propel them to the top tier of the sport as the Bates family has done.  This is the 350th th episode in Steve Fielder's podcasting career and will most likely be the last. But don't be surprised if another SPECIAL EPISODE shows up from time to time. We would like to thank those who support this podcast.

Get lost in the corridors of the most surreal blockbuster...ever? This New Movie Monday, we are reviewing the A24 sensation Backrooms, based on the totemic YouTube series of the same name. Of course, we can't cover Backrooms without a lengthy discussion about this cultural moment in horror cinema, off the heels of Curry Barker's breakout hit Obsession. Griffey, Heath and Sam think they have a good handle on what it all means and make the argument that the film should've been even MORE abstract. We do our best to not get lost in the maze of this counfounding film while praising the performance of Chiwetel Ejiofor, the novel vision of director Kane Parsons and, of course, the most messed up moment in the movie. Synopsis: After a therapist's patient disappears into a dimension beyond reality, she must venture into the unknown to save him. Director: Kane Parsons Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve and Mark Duplass

Who are the most messed up directors? Griffey, Sam, Heath and Sophia grab their bullhorns and battle over the greatest auteurs of sinful cinema. From the Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock to emerging masters of modern horror, we're picking film directors who have firmly established themselves as auteurs of evil! Who drafted the best team? Who reached too early? And which movie got completely robbed?

Take a trip with us down a dark road as we fight off car sickness on New Movie Monday. We are reviewing the latest horror release from Paramount Pictures, Passenger. We first reviewed this hyped up trailer months ago and now that Passenger has finally arrived, is it worth the ride? Griffey, Heath and Sam make the most of this bad trip by talking yahts, the looming shadow of AI over mid movies, why it would have been better as found footage and, of course, the most messed up moment in the movie. Synopsis: After a young couple witnesses a gruesome highway accident, they soon realize they did not leave the crash scene alone, as a demonic presence called the Passenger won't stop until it claims them both. Director: André Øvredal Starring: Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell and Melissa Leo

Things get a little extra emotional on this episode of New Movie Monday because we're dissecting and mansplaining one of the hottest horror releases of the year - Curry Barker's Obsession. Griffey, Heath and Sam have been buying the hype surrounding this monkey's paw tale, was their wish for a new horror classic granted? Or is it a wish they'd rather reverse? Lots of opinions, hot takes, temper tantrums and passionate theories emerge as we obsess over Obsession! Synopsis: After breaking the mysterious "One Wish Willow" to win his crush's heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price. Written & Directed by: Curry Barker Starring: Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless

It's New Movie Monday! Today, we find ourselves in a tournament of endurance as we fight our way through a conversation about a movie that is far more video game than film. Griffey, Heath and Sam conjure their special powers of bs to analyze the merits of Mortal Kombat II, how it compares to past iterations of the franchise, the lore it invokes from its arcade origins and ask why it was packaged as an R-rated ride instead of a movie aimed at kids. Synopsis: The fan favorite champions -- now joined by Johnny Cage himself -- are pitted against one another in the ultimate battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.

This segment pushes the conversation into some of the toughest questions in the hobby—where definitions break down and gray areas take over. With David Chase, Joe Poirot, Chris McGill, and Josh Adams still on the panel, the discussion circles back to eye appeal… but this time through the lens of alteration, intent, and ethics. It starts with a deceptively simple question: Should altered cards ever receive eye appeal stickers? From there, things get complicated quickly: If a card looks amazing but is altered, what are you actually rewarding? Does eye appeal exist independently from originality? Would stickers unintentionally encourage further alteration? Then comes one of the wildest scenarios: A collector intentionally damaging an 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card to create a PSA 1… because PSA 1s can be rarer and more valuable than mid-grade copies That opens up a deeper conversation: Is intentional damage a form of alteration? Does intent matter more than outcome? Where do we draw the line between natural wear and manufactured condition? The segment also digs into the core purpose of grading: Is grading really about condition… or about trust? Is authentication the most important function? How consistent are grading outcomes, really? And one of the strongest ideas to come out of the discussion:A lot of what we call “alteration” isn't just about the act—it's about whether or not it's disclosed. Would the market behave differently if full transparency existed? Is concealment the real issue, not the alteration itself? This is where the hobby gets uncomfortable—but also where it gets real. A fitting end to a marathon episode that challenged assumptions at every turn. Enjoy the show? Follow or subscribe on your podcast platform so you don't miss upcoming episodes.

Baseball's back for the summer of 2026 and what better way to get in the mood than to take a look at one of the most electrifying sports stories of all time...the 1998 Major League Baseball Home Run Record Chase. This epic chase to break the hollowed home run record started off with 2 known power houses , Ken Griffey Jr. and Mark McGwire chasing Roger Maris' hollowed record the previous 4 seasons .These previous outings  injected excitement back in to the sport after the catastrophic MLB strike of 1994 that cut off Griffey's record pace by 50 games and saw the cancelation of the World Series.  Fans tuned out in droves  and baseball's favor was at an all time low. Then by June of 1998 a little known Sammy Sosa threw his cap in to the race to make it a 3 man race to 62 HR's by season end. Griffey would cool down ("only" hitting 56 homers ) but Big Mac and Sammy would go neck and neck and surpass the record at 70 and 66 HR's by seasons end in dramatic exciting fashion.

Dr. Beckett interviews Josh Luber, discussing Luber's 136-page book on “BlindBoxification”, covering transparency versus mystery in the hobby, hybrid product concepts, and Panini's outlook without full licensing. Beckett highlights Griffey's rise prior to grading and factory set production, then points to prediction markets as a major emerging topic—raising issues like insider knowledge, manipulation, regulation, and examples of real-world event control. They discuss pseudonymous hobby identities and how real-world presence can act as a safeguard. Beckett and Luber explore “truly collectible cards” (TCCs)—cards that aren't for sale—contrasting illiquid “inaccessible” grails with liquid bellwether cards. Beckett shares his 1977 experience splitting a 1952 Topps set to keep 406 cards while a partner took the Mantle, using it to frame what makes a card iconic, alongside T206 Honus Wagner. They revisit how “hits” used to be high-number short prints and speculate on series-by-series supply differences, including Beckett's thesis about the 1952 Topps fifth series drop-off and the Mantle double print. The conversation also contrasts earlier hobby knowledge-sharing with today's widespread access to data (e.g., pop reports and market tools), and concludes with Wagner's long-standing mystique predating grading, PSA's origins in coin grading, and challenges graders face with trimming detection and policy choices.   00:48 Transparency and Licensing Talk 01:33 Griffey Before Grading 02:09 Prediction Markets in Cards 04:37 Handles and Hobby Pseudonyms 05:35 Truly Collectible Cards 07:38 What Makes a Card Iconic 08:54 High Numbers as the Hits 11:21 Information Then vs Now 13:52 Wagner Mystique and Grading Origins    

Today on New Movie Monday the boys return to Woodsboro to burn it all down in Scream 7. Griffey, Heath and Sam discuss the franchise returning to the Sidney Prescott well, Kevin Williamson helming the directors chair, how we felt about the new teens and Ghostface killers, and Griffey's odd theory as to what this movie is really trying to do. From rocky pre-proudction to box office heights, does this installment have enough blood left to keep the heart of the Scream Franchise pumping?   Synopsis:  When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target.

Dr. Beckett responds to criticism he heard on other shows by sharing context from the selection process. He explains the list is tied to the 2026 Topps flagship baseball product and will appear as redemption cards, which influenced a bias toward base/flagship sets and excluded other Topps brands like Bowman, Stadium Club, and Heritage. Beckett notes the panel was made up largely of industry insiders, likely underweighting youth and traditional collectors, and suggests vintage and 1952 Topps were naturally emphasized. He comments on Sy Berger's legacy possibly affecting Willie Mays' ranking, addresses the prominence of the $1M Paul Skenes card as a landmark Fanatics-era marketing moment, explains differing definitions of “iconic,” and argues some stars' most iconic cards aren't Topps (e.g., Griffey, Jeter, Mattingly). He also says the top 12 included 2011 Trout and 1985 McGwire USA, and calls for more transparency in the voting process.   00:45 Why It Ties to 2026 Flagship 01:09 Panel Context and Brand Limits 01:43 Sy Berger and 1952 Topps Bias 02:23 Industry List vs Hobby List 02:53 The Skenes Card Debate 03:29 What Makes a Card Iconic 03:59 Rookie Card Mismatches 04:22 Top 12 Idea and Missing Picks 04:40 Voting Process Transparency

Step into the ring where magic meets mayhem! In this captivating episode of The Commentary Booth: Live Via Satellite, host Jamie Apps sits down with five-time Metroplex Wrestling champion 'Shady' JD Griffey to explore how Christopher Nolan's masterpiece The Prestige mirrors the sacrifices, obsessions, and rivalries that define professional wrestling.As JD prepares for the chaotic Metroplex Wrestling Texas Rumble on February 7, he reveals how the film's themes of obsession, sacrifice, and bitter rivalry might make it one of the most unintentionally honest films ever made about professional wrestling.Discover how the magician's code is eerily similar to wrestling's kayfabe, and why the greatest performance is the one the audience never fully sees. This is more than a film review; it's a raw look at the cost of devotion and the art of deception in the world of sports entertainment.The conversation moves between film analysis and lived experience. The toll of kayfabe. The addiction to reactions. The fine line between dedication and self-destruction. There's admiration here, but also discomfort. Wrestling, much like Nolan's film, doesn't flinch from the consequences of obsession, it just hides them better.Highlights Breakdown: - The Three Acts of Wrestling: How JD breaks down matches using the film's pledge, turn, and prestige structure - Living Two Incomplete Lives: The personal cost of maintaining kayfabe and character in the modern wrestling era - Obsession & Sacrifice: Why the best performers give 100% even when audiences only perceive 30-40% - The Matthew Palmer Rivalry: How JD's greatest opponent became someone who knew him better than family - Secrets of the Craft: JD's philosophy on protecting wrestling's magic in the age of social media and shows like WWE's Unreal - Texas Rumble Intentions: His vengeful plans for the February 7 Metroplex Wrestling Texas RumbleTune in for a conversation that pulls no punches, blending film analysis with the gritty reality of the wrestling business. It's a testament to the idea that to be the best, you must be willing to disappear and come back, for your art.FOLLOW JD GRIFFEY ON SOCIAL MEDIA:- Instagram- X/TwitterThis week's episode is brought to you byAustralian Wrestling CardsCheck out more great content from Pario Magazine on our website.-------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT PARIO MAGAZINE & THE COMMENTARY BOOTH- PATREON- BUY MERCH- AMAZON PRIME VIDEO- TUBEBUDDY- Subscribe to AEW Plus using my code (q0yydoz) to earn $10 in FITE credit- Shop Online With Honey- Shop Online With SatechiMY EQUIPMENT- Elgato Facecam- Rode PodMic- Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP- Streamlabs Talk StudioFOLLOW JAMIE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram- TikTokFOLLOW PARIO MAGAZINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Twitter- Facebook- Instagram

So, it turns out Mike has pneumonia. He's getting better. But while we wait for him to complete his rehab assignment, please enjoy this re-release of Episode 168 on Kens Griffey Sr. and Jr.  Baseball is a game that is most often passed down from one generation to the next. But some of those handoffs are more effective than others, like with the the Griffeys, Kens Sr. and Jr., who hit back-to-back homers 35 years ago this week, the first and only time a father and son have done that in baseball history. Mike and Bill look back at the life and career of Ken Sr, the excitement of Griffey-mania in Seattle, and a unique accomplishment in the history of baseball. Plus, happy birthday to Heinie Groh and Rick Wise!

CAM CLEELAND (Learfield Washington Color analyst) It's Apple Cup week and it just doesn't feel the same anymore, but the Dawgs haven't won on the road under Jedd Fisch and they need to get one this weekend in Pullman. How important is it for the Dawgs to get this win and how confident is Cam that Dawgs will get it done?

We are witnessing a season to remember and the only proper way to celebrate it is to acknowledge Cal-O-Ween. The Mariners are playing good baseball, they aren't just winning on good pitching or high scoring offense, they're finding a way to do it all and if they can keep it up, they'll go far. Of course, the question remains, can they keep it up? No matter how well we've done over these last 10 games, we are still only a half game up on the Astros, so theirs is no room for error. :30- There's been a lot of chatter about the play of Demond Williams Jr and Jonah Coleman, but is it too early to start hyping up postseason awards for the Dawgs? The real test is still a week and a half away against Ohio State. :45- We close out this humpday with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Los Angeles, the Phillies turned fatigue into fuel, clinching their second straight NL East crown in a game that began after a sleepless night of travel and ended in extra innings with Bryce Harper's fist-pumping eighth-inning home run and J.T. Realmuto's sacrifice fly. When the champagne popped, it wasn't just about celebration — it was about perspective. Garrett Stubbs made sure Harper could join the party with apple juice, and Harrison Bader's mantra rang through the room: “What a gift.” For a club that has known nothing but heartbreak since 2022, that phrase has become the soul of the team: gratitude, joy, and belief that this year can be different. Contrast that spirit with the Bronx, where Anthony Volpe has been grinding through a partially torn labrum since May, hitting just .197 with his defense slipping. Brian Cashman insists this is merely a “tough stretch,” but José Caballero's hot bat and steady glove have complicated the conversation. Caballero is hitting .314 since mid-August, and his emergence is forcing Aaron Boone to consider whether loyalty to Volpe is holding the team back. North of the border, the Blue Jays found a new reason to believe. Trey Yesavage, their top prospect, debuted with nine strikeouts in five innings, a franchise record, his splitter producing an absurd 11 whiffs on 14 swings. His 19 total whiffs put him in Kevin Gausman territory, and for a team already leading the AL East, his arrival feels less like the future and more like a weapon for right now. Toronto hasn't won a World Series since 1993, but Yesavage's debut makes that drought feel vulnerable. The Giants are also leaning into youth, promoting Bryce Eldridge, a 20-year-old, 6-foot-7 slugger ranked the No. 15 prospect in baseball. With 25 homers across Double-A and Triple-A and elite exit velocity numbers, Eldridge is being thrown straight into the fire of a Wild Card chase, where San Francisco sits just 1 ½ games back. With their first basemen producing a meager .614 OPS, Eldridge isn't just a curiosity — he's an immediate solution. In Detroit, fear gave way to relief when Tarik Skubal, the frontrunner for the AL Cy Young, exited his last start with side tightness. Initial panic subsided after imaging revealed no structural damage, and he's slated to pitch Thursday against Cleveland. His numbers speak to his dominance: 13–5, 2.26 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 224 strikeouts in 185 innings. In a franchise that hasn't seen an ace like this since Hal Newhouser, Skubal is the difference between a quick October exit and a run that could echo through history. Out in Arizona, the Diamondbacks are embracing the stars — literally. Blaze Alexander's joke about undergoing a “horoscope” on his bruised elbow became a clubhouse rallying cry, and suddenly the D-backs are aligning at the right moment. Zac Gallen notched his 1,000th career strikeout, joining Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb, while a six-run sixth inning powered them to an 8–1 win over San Francisco. With Jordan Lawlar's RBI double, Geraldo Perdomo's five times on base, and James McCann's homer, Arizona is playing like a team that refuses to fade. In Milwaukee, the Brewers clinched their own ticket to October in a celebration filled with laughter and tenderness. After the fireworks and walk-off, manager Pat Murphy read aloud a letter he pretended came from the late Bob Uecker. Players laughed at the imagined line about being God's “third catcher,” but the tribute brought misty eyes too. Christian Yelich captured the moment perfectly: enjoy it, but don't forget — the job isn't done. And then there's Juan Soto, whose brilliance continues to collide with the Mets' collapse. His 40th home run put him in Barry Bonds and Jeff Bagwell's company with a 40–30–100 season, the first of its kind in Mets history. He is the ninth player to hit 40 for different teams in consecutive years, joining legends like Griffey, A-Rod, and Ohtani. Yet while Soto shines, the Mets stumble, 21–30 in the second half, their Wild Card lead slipping away. His season is a masterpiece, but without October, it may be remembered as a monument to wasted potential. From Philadelphia's “what a gift” mantra to Soto's historic swing in Queens, from rookies Yesavage and Eldridge redefining futures to Skubal and Gallen reminding us of aces past and present, Episode 104 is the story of September baseball. It's belief, heartbreak, and joy — colliding night after night as October looms.

RUNDOWN   Mitch Levy and guest co-host Danny O'Neil react to Julio Rodríguez's surprising All-Star selection and question whether he belongs among baseball's elite. The duo debates the greatest individual season by a Seattle athlete over the past 30 years, considering iconic performances by Ichiro, Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Johnson, and Shaun Alexander. They factor in stats, MVP honors, cultural impact, and surprise value. Jason D. Hamilton joins the show to share his experience walking 72 holes in a single day at the Bandon Dunes Summer Solstice event.

In the summer of '75 it was becoming clear that something special was happening in Boston. A rookie centerfielder was having a season for the ages. Fred Lynn would lead the Sox to the pennant behind one of the greatest, if not THE greatest rookie season in baseball history. The first year sensation would become the first player to win Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same season. It culminated in a World Series that 50 years later is considered to be one of the all-time classics with the Sox and the Reds providing thrill after thrill that saw reach a 7th game after Carlton Fisk's legendary home run over the Monster and off the Pole in left to win Game 6. It was widely considered the sports story of the year with future Hall of Fame players throughout both rosters. The star power of Rose, Rice, Yaz, Morgan, Fisk and Perez along with Tiant, Lynn, Concepcion, Foster, and Griffey was off the charts… and the Big Red Machine finally prevailed in that game 7 to win the Series. That was one to remember… the other big story was one we'd like to forget… The Match Race between Foolish Pleasure and the great filly, Ruffian was the talk of the horse racing world and the excitement at Belmont Park was similar to when Secretariat was going for the triple crown at the same track two years earlier…  After a blistering 1/4 mile, Ruffian had just taken the lead by a neck over the Kentucky Derby winner… in fact, that first 1/2 mile was the only time in Ruffians career she ever trailed in a race… she was running with the boys and holding her own… when she suffered a catastrophic leg injury breaking two bones in her right leg. The great horse continued to run for a bit even on the broken leg as her jockey Jacinto Vasquez tried to bring her to a stop. The jubilant atmosphere came to a sudden stop at the race track and nationwide as the TV audience realized what had just taken place… there was no way to describe it, yet that was the job of Dave Johnson, the track announcer at Belmont… Even he was at a loss for words as the ambulance made its way on to the track to tend to the fallen horse… she would be carted away, and after multiple attempts to save her, the great Ruffian was finally put to rest. Johnson was off the next two days, but when he returned to work on Wednesday he said there was one word that described everything…  “Crying” Everyone was crying. Writers, trainers, guys in the stall… women in the offices… everywhere you went, people were at a loss… In a career that would span over 50 years, it was as tough a day as Johnson can recall. Now 84, the legendary Horse Racing announcer is still as energetic and exuberant when it comes to the sport he loves. On the Past Our Prime podcast, Johnson shares inside details on that horrific July day when Ruffian rode for the final fatal time… He talks about how the atmosphere at the track was electric and how he thought Ruffian would remain undefeated after beating Foolish Pleasure… but it didn't happen the way anybody thought it would. Johnson also reflects on the recent passing of his good friend, D. Wayne Lukas and gives personal insights to what made him such a great trainer… and an even better person. The legendary trainer was 89 years old when he died June 28th… just 16 days after the final horse he trained won a race… Johnson claims his work ethic was second to none and that Lukas was everything that was good about the sport. “And down the stretch they come!!!”… A legendary call from a legendary broadcaster talking about a legendary horse and a legendary trainer… sounds like a legendary show… and it is… The Past Our Prime podcast with Dave Johnson… listen wherever you get your podcasts.
