Bull in the Basement

This is an awesome convo with Ben who spent 11 years as the Bisons play by play man and made it to the bigs just in time for Covid and then the lockout, darn the luck!! We recorded this just before the lockout ended and he talked about the differences between the two sides and what needed to be resolved. Thankfully it is and there will be baseball! He also talked about how important Buffalo was for the Jays during Covid and the benefits for the Bisons from it. He also talks about what to expect from Vladdy and the rest of the Jays in 2022.

This episode is a total roller coaster with lots of twists and turns..we start with Andrew's career and his "role" as an NHL'er. How he get there. How he dealt with his unique role (typically one per team). We learn about his idol and the anecdote about meeting him and the chance to play against him. And then we had a moment. One of which I am so appreciative for his confidence in me to share personal life events which deal with substance abuse and mental illness of which he suffered from. He then shares how he's been able to down many of his demons and from there, how he's helped others and continues to, through his podcast. Please watch.
