Fresh off Thanksgiving, Alex Miniak and Heath “The Wreath” Bell kick off a post-turkey edition of Bleav in San Diego Baseball. The guys share their family weekend highlights — from Alex’s annual hosting gig at the Christmas Brass & Organ Concert to Heath’s holiday adventure with Hulu tech support.

They’re joined by a special guest: Andy Geib, longtime trombonist for San Diego’s own reggae stars Slightly Stoopid and a die-hard Padres fan. Andy takes listeners inside his musical journey — from picking up the trombone in third grade to touring the world and playing iconic venues like Red Rocks. He also shares what it’s like performing the national anthem at Petco Park and relives the electric 2022 NLDS win over the Dodgers.

Then it’s time for a round of Junk Wax Gems as the trio breaks down a 1988 Fleer Mark Davis card, tests each other’s knowledge of Padres Cy Young winners, and tells stories only true fans can appreciate.
