Former Sox hurler Adam Russell talked about his career and playing with the phenomenal talent that populated the White Sox in the late-00s.

We talked at the Brent Sopel Celebrity Golf Tournament on 10/2/19. Russel's a great storyteller... you'll love hearing about pitching his first game in the bigs and the awkward situation in his post-MLB business career.

This is a fun one. I'm joined by actor Christopher McDonald, who's been in EVERYTHING. That said, he's easily most recognized for playing Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore.

He jumped in the car early in the day as it was parked at the 18th hole of the Brent Sopel Celebrity Golf Tournament on 10/2/19.

We talked about Shooter, Thelma and Louise, Superman, Grease 2 and a lot more...
