Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 492: Jim McMahon
Q: How do you end up in Johnny B. Good?
I think because I owed Adidas a commercial. Instead of just doing that separately, they decided to make the commercial in the movie.
Episode 492: Jim McMahon
Q: Do you think, had you gone to UNLV, do you think you would have been a two-sport star?
I probably would have ended up playing baseball. That's what I always wanted to do. I thought I was a better baseball player.

Q: How can people make memories at your games?
Come out to the ballpark! Our season will start on May 8th, but we're hosting the Big House Ball Game on April 30th to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Route 66.
Episode 491: William Night Train Veeck
Q: When did you and how did you get into the family business?

Q: What are we doing with Jeff Kent? Are we OK with that?
Jay thinks Jeff Kent has the best case among the current candidates due to his home run record but acknowledges his lukewarm overall evaluation.
