GiraffeNeckMarc has accumulated over 105,000 subscribers on YouTube, and he did it under challenging circumstances. Namely, by risking the audience he had originally built up with MLB The Show and focusing on just Major League Baseball content. And it all started with one incredible career-altering phone call...

Now, he's on the radar of MLB and interviewing players at spring training, all the while crafting his own confident brand of content for a voracious baseball following.

How did he get there, what is his philosophy, and where does he see it going...

In this second edition of the "On the Road" subset, Coop goes solo into the heart of Denver, where he stops in to check out a Colorado Rockies game.

The sights, the sounds, the... incidents with an old man?

All that plus a conversation with one of the locals- an upcoming musician, Cory Pearman of Float Like A Buffalo.

The guys talk past tales of shared Hollywood hijinks, the rise of Rockies culture, and where you should go if you find yourself in Denver one day.

Matthew Kaminski has made quite a name for himself within the world of major league baseball, and he's done it in the most unexpected way- by simply playing organ for the Atlanta Braves.

One might even say he's developed a cult following filled with voracious baseball and music lovers alike, constantly tuning in to what Matthew will play next. An avid user of twitter, there's no shortage of  suggestions for Matthew on a daily basis. 

And yet, he still seems to find a way to delight and amaze those listening to his "game within the game".

In short, his walk-up music selections have become an oft-talked about topic amongst fans, umpires, and players alike.

As promised, Coop releases the full interviews with last week's guests: Big Old Buck, Big Kep, & Chewman!

A myriad of topics are discussed, including some surprising reveals about each individual.

But it's not all serious, as the guys chat about baseball card shops, being a true fan of a city, a rare first Yankee Stadium appearance from a longtime fan, and... the flute?

Why do I do this? I'm 40, married, with kids, and real responsibilities.

Yet here I am, podcasting and streaming a game, delighting in a community in which I'm a bit of an anomaly. 

I've internally struggled with this question for awhile now, and so on this episode of The Rain Delay, I sought out three other content creators near my age, with many of the same real life challenges I have, to see if I could get some answers. 

When did this start? What was the impetus for doing it? How do we adjust to online behavior? How to deal with trolls? And what ultimately do we get out of this?

BigKep13, BigOldBuck, & Chewman11 join me to seek out answers to these questions and more...
