It's the opening day of the 2021 Baseball Season.  So, foregoing the usual political talk on this show, I thought we'd take a different path today.   The episode today is an encore of a 2017 episode from the Two Old Guys Drinking Beer podcast where my friend Bill Holmes, who passed away last year, and I discuss our all-time Baseball All-Stars.  I hope you enjoy the show.

So, the governor of our great state of Texas, Mr. Greg Abbott decides he's had enough of these pesky mask mandates and business closures.  So, with only 13% of the state vaccinated and COVID variants present he has made the decision to open everything up.   Steve and I discuss the absurdity of the decision and ask the basic question.  What The Hell?   Tune in, and I hope you enjoy the episode.
