Baseball and Whatever

What’s up everybody? We’re back with Episode 8 of Baseball and Whatever. This week we start off talking about the White Sox, and Greg’s love for Billy Hamilton. Vinnie tells us to enjoy this current Cubs ride, and Justin reiterates his dislike for Cardinal managers. We even take a look back at the Nick Castellanos trade from 2019.  

Following this we jump into our “Whatever” topic for the week which features us counting down our Top 5 Military Video Games in honor of Memorial Day. Tons of different games get discussed ranging from PS2 classics and even some modern shooters.  

***Top 5 Military Video Game topic starts at the 40:35 mark***

In Greg's third episode of "Consider Them Slimed" he invites Vinnie on to share stories about their Baseball and Whatever co-host, Justin, who is celebrating his 34th birthday this week. They reminisce about some funny moments including Justin's bachelor party, a trip to the casino, and a pure Michael Scott moment.

Greg is back with another episode of Consider Them Slimed! This time around he targets Joe West, and dives deep into Amazon buying MGM. What could this mean for James Bond going forward?

If you're a fan of video games then chances are you've heard of Game Informer Magazine. We were lucky enough to have Editor-in-Chief, Andrew Reiner, on with us to chat about all things baseball. We discuss what it's like being a Cubs fan in Minnesota, along with his thoughts on baseball video games past and present.  

Reiner's been with Game informer since 1995 where he's written about all things video games. When he's not reviewing games or watching the Cubs, he plays in the band "The Rapture Twins." He's also co-author (with former NFLer Chris Kluwe) of the science fiction novel, "Prime," which is available on Amazon. Check out his work!   

As somebody who's been reading the magazine since a kid, this was an absolute blast. If you're a fan of the Cubs or MLB The Show then definitely give this one a watch!

In this new running "mini audio" series, Greg will touch on some things that are bugging him about Chicago sports and life in general. This week Greg sets his sights on Tony La Russa, the Chicago Bears Management, and Jeremy Colliton of the Chicago Blackhawks.  Check it out!   

Stay tuned for more "mini-podcasts" from all of us about a variety of topics that don't make it to one of our long form podcasts/videos.

Hey everybody! We're back with an episode devoted to the whole situation that unraveled on the South Side of Chicago with Tony La Russa this past week. We dive in deep about what is going on and why dinosaurs like La Russa don't really have a place in the game of baseball anymore. Greg and Vinnie lay down the law on Tony, Justin contemplates if the Cubs are still "like-able," and we throw Derek Jeter under the analytics bus. Give us a listen and tell us what you think!

We here at Baseball and Whatever are HUGE fans of the 90's Mighty Duck Movies. We wanted to discuss them and were lucky enough to have Mike from the Quack Attack Podcast come and join us. The Quack Attack Podcast is the #1 source of all things Mighty Ducks on the internet. If you want to hear interviews from former cast members, writers, and even directors, then please check them out!

Mike tells us how they got started, their favorite interviews, and what it's like to play a role in bringing the series back to Disney Plus.

We had a blast with this episode. Let us know what you think. Feel free to email Greg and tell him he is completely wrong and D2 is way better than D3.

We even get a chance to touch on the upcoming Flash movie and Robert Pattinson Batman movie.
