Peanuts and Cracker Jack

Ball park treats for all our listeners. In our continuing celebration of BASEBALL, we are sharing a selection of amazing comedy cold opens on the game that span 2019-2022. These years are critical in baseball history, as they involve the clever Astros hi tech, sign-stealing scandal; the COVID related shutdowns of the game; and the 2022 MLB Players worker’s strike. These listener favorites feature great  performances by the famous ‘Mets Mob’, my co-founding co-host, Kassia, and – of course – our feisty artificial intelligence engine, Bernice. YOU’LL LOVE THESE HILARIOUS CLIPS! If you haven’t listened to our previous episode with the Mets Mob, forecasting the 2024 season, please scroll down on your phone and enjoy. Both hardened baseball fans and others will be very entertained by their informative and humorous banter. The comedy clips in this episode include: Who Is It? - The Astros attempt to throw the 2019 World Series in their favor using high tech sign stealing technology… but the Astros owner is, ah… kinda out of it. Answering Machine – COVID Anxiety Help Line - What you would get if you called MLB during COVID in 2020?. Mission Impossible - Co-host Kassia and her cat are tasked by a top secret government agency to resolve conflicts between MLB owners and players. Opening Day – Kassia and Bernice are in charge of the media booth…but they have no idea of what they are doing. Love, Death, And Baseball - Our “Twin Peaks” homage! Finally, Leonardo gets to hook up with his long lost love Bernice, our artificial intelligence engine. We Kidnapped The Baseball Commissioner! – The Met’s Mob, in an effort to resolve the 2022 strike – kidnap the MLB Baseball Commissioner – hoping to get him to agree to reasonable terms with the players and re-start baseball. For some reason – James Bond intervenes. (Our James Bond is ‘Handsome Rob from Manhattan’. We on the pod believe Handsome Rob is a better Bond than either Danial Craig, Sean Connery, or Pierce Bronson in the role, but we invite listeners to express their own opinions and thoughts. Our music is composed, preformed and produced by the genius John Hoekstra.
