J.T. Snow joins us for an all-timer of a conversation that blends baseball craft, World Series pressure, and a moment that became bigger than the game. A six-time Gold Glove first baseman with the Yankees, Angels, and Giants, Snow walks us through the 2002 World Series sequence that ended with him scooping up Darren Baker at home plate, then explains how that split-second decision looked and felt from 90 feet away. We also dig into his years alongside Barry Bonds, sharing how elite preparation, approach, and in-game adjustments shaped a clubhouse and a city. From growing up around the Rams with his father, Jack, to college days with future stars like Kenny Lofton, Snow’s stories pull back the curtain on the players, the pressure, and the tiny details that win innings. If you love baseball history, inside-the-dugout perspective, and legacy moments, this one is for you. Subscribe, rate, and share with your favorite Giants fan.

Matt Millen — four-time Super Bowl champion, legendary NFL linebacker, and later front-office executive — joins us for one of the rawest football conversations we’ve ever had. From his days with the Raiders to his stories about Al Davis, Millen pulls back the curtain on what really happened inside the trenches.

We hear him detail the brutal techniques that defined his playing style — the headbutts, the push-pull leverage, and even putting his hand on an opponent’s throat. Millen explains how those “dirty” tactics weren’t just about violence, but about gaining control, breaking wills, and surviving in the NFL’s most unforgiving battles. He also shares draft room memories, including the Calvin Johnson story that Lions and NFL fans still talk about today, plus his perspective on Raider culture and the infamous “Raider Rules.”

This is old-school football storytelling at its best — honest, tough, and deeply human. Whether you grew up watching Millen play or you’re discovering these stories for the first time, this episode captures what made that era unforgettable.

We sit down with Darin Erstad—2002 World Series champion, two-time MLB All-Star, No. 1 overall pick in the 1995 MLB Draft, and a national-championship punter at Nebraska—for a candid, memory-rich conversation that hits every sweet spot for longtime baseball fans. We revisit the goosebump moment when Kirby Puckett walked into the clubhouse asking, “Where’s Dakota?” and offered a simple, unforgettable “thank you.” We go inside the 2002 Angels: Francisco “K-Rod” Rodríguez’s eye-opening arrival, the Rally Monkey era (with Kobe in the stands), and the mindset that carried a clubhouse to a title. Erstad also shares how mentors shaped his “take care of people” ethos and relives catching the final out of the World Series—two hands, just like dad taught him. If you love baseball history, behind-the-scenes details, and the human side of winning, this one’s for you.

We sit down with Eric Crouch, Nebraska legend, Heisman Trophy winner, and College Football Hall of Famer, for a candid, funny, and deeply human conversation about legacy, toughness, and what stays with you long after the final whistle. We relive his overtime winner at Notre Dame—yes, with Touchdown Jesus in the background—and why that night still gives him chills.

It’s football history with heart, humor, and perspective. Stick around to the end for rapid-fire memories that Husker fans will love.
