28 min - Burger Bites Ep. 27 - Andy Galle part 2

25 min - Burger Bites Ep. 26 - Harrison Broadstreet part 2
Back on board the comedy bus. Comedian/shortstop Harrison Broadstreet shares some more laughs in the second half of his interview. Discussion takes a serious turn as Harrison and Rance discuss coaching football and the challenges that some kids in Springfield, Missouri face each day. For Harrison Broadstreet, coaching is more about shaping lives than it is teaching how to read defenses.
Whether or not you followed the Ozark Mountain Ducks at U.S. Baseball Park, you'll want to stick around for a firsthand account of Harrison's infamous shoe play against the Nixa Suckers in the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League playoffs.
Find Harrison Broadstreet on Facebook and on Instagram.
You can also see him at open mic night every Thursday at Best of Luck Beer Hall in downtown Springfield, Missouri.

21 min - Burger Bites Ep. 20 - B.J. Gates part 1
When the Moon City Mavericks launched in 2020, there was really no one more suited to represent northern Springfield than B.J. Gates. He represents the gritty, determined, good-humored but never-say-die attitude that makes the north side of Springfield, Missouri unique. His mullet, gold chains and eye black made him a natural fit for the new "Space Cowboys" of the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League.
B.J. Gates talks tryouts, slowpitch softball, love, dad stuff, life choices and how at one of the lowest points in his life, he quit baseball. It's all part of what makes him one of the poster children for the GRBL being "Baseball's Ultimate Second Chance."

24 min - Baseball Court: Schuyler Carter vs. Tyler Jones
Judge Rance holds court in the case of Schuyler vs. Tyler. Schuyler Carter and Tyler Jones have played in the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League since its founding in 2016. They are friends, former teammates and rivals. Prior to the start of the 2020 season, Carter and Jones attempted to strike a gentleman's wager to see who truly was the best center fielder in the GRBL.
Both underachieved dramatically, sending their dispute into arbitration. They agreed to have their dispute settled in Judge Rance Burger's kangaroo baseball court.
