Pitching: The Highs and Lows

In this episode of the Better High Podcast, I take the mound for the Gotham Comedy Club softball team in Central Park’s Performing Arts League, sharing what it’s like to pitch under pressure, compete with friends, and discover the mental side of the game.Along the way, I talk with Sean Taylor, artistic director of the Magnet Theater and host of the 31 Days of Pizza podcast, about the mental side of pitching. He served as my backup that day. You’ll also hear brief conversations with comedian Adam Mamawala, entrepreneur Ripton Rosen, aka “Rip,” and Gotham softball co-manager Tom Burnett.Matt opens the episode talking about spotting a whale while about to surf and a bout of La Jolla-rhea on a recent trip to Cali. Subscribe, share, and remember: the best highs don’t come from a substance—they come from being full in the moment.
