Tune in and Enjoy!
The boys are back at school and we bring on White Sox fan and analyst Bennett Karroll to talk about his White Sox billboard project that will result in 2 billboards reading "Sell the Team, Jerry". We also talk about the Sox with Bennett and how frustrating it has been to support this franchise in recent memory.

The boys have a jampacked show full of baseball coverage and content. We start with covering the Rafael Devers signing and some depth moves made by Milwaukee and the impact of those moves.

Dr Ismael Gallo comes on the show to discuss his company, Baseball Flows, and how it is helping young athletes move better and therefore use their bodies more efficiently. He also talks about his story, which is one of the most heartwarming and remarkable stories you may ever hear. From a High School dropout to a Doctorate in Physical Therapy to Owning his own company, Dr Gallo has perspective unlike many others. We end the show with a segment "What are they Doing Now", where each of Will and Beau pick a former MLB player who is up to something else now.

We are joined by Kevin Brown as well, and we talk about one of the more surprising teams in baseball.. the Baltimore Orioles.
