Since last episode, it's been decided that James has no taste in music, and that Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles' is, one hundred percent, a banger. Speaking of bangers, today's interview with the Birmingham Barons radio announcer, Curt Bloom, is absolutely smashing (4:00)! The guys chat about Curt's near three-decade stint as the Barons announcer, starting back in 1992, and his interactions with a certain NBA star turned bat-toting wonder, Danny Aing...PSYCH...it's Michael Jordan. HA GOT 'EM! The trio delve into 'The Last Dance' and Jordan's magnetic nature in the way he attracted fans as well as Curt's pick-up game with his Airness (10:00), MJ's gradual growth on the field (15:30), the better prospect, Luis Robert or MJ (20:25), and Curt's under the radar MJ tale (28:30). Before we wrap, Tom and SCOOPS pledge their allegiance to a KBO club for the season (37:45).
