The LET’S GET TWO Holiday Episode

(OPEN) It’s finally here! Our holiday episode! And we have a gift for all of our listeners!!!

(0:3:24) HOLLER AND A SWALLER: As this season of Let’s Get Two winds down, we’ve got Rogue Brewery from Newport Or and Saint Arnold out of Houston, Texas. 

(0:08:38) SHOW ME THE MERCH:  Baseball Santa game early and left me some cool gear from the Spokane Indians, Frisco Rough Riders and the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs

(0:13:56) ON THE SLEIGH: SANTA! Now I know him! We had Santa in studio and we looked wearing gear from the LeHigh Valley Iron Pigs, Modesto Nuts, Corpus Christi Hooks and O’Fallon Hoots.

Santa and I spoke about his love for baseball and his thoughts on basketball.

We talked North Pole efficiency and ‘Elf-Alytics”

Jose Altuve short jokes, the Naughty and Nice List (He is NOT a Joe Kelly fan) and he listened to requests from some of his favorite people in and around baseball:

Shoutout to the St. Michael’s Film students.  

(0:34:11). BASEBALL-AKUH: For Hanukkah, Jess Knaster builds a lineup of the best Jewish ball players 

(0:47:49) BASEBALL FESTIVUS:  NSFW:  Andy, Scott and I air some grievances. 

(01:05:27) RAIDERS OF THE LOST DIAMOND:   Andrew Nelson takes us on a tour of baseball’s past in the Great White North.

(1:19:19) ADJUST YOUR SCORECARDS: Erik the Peanut Guy carries the spirit of baseball with him and we had to check in before 2020 ended.

(01:29:11) WHO’S ON FIRST: Ottawa Titans owner Sam Katz jumps on to talk about his gift to baseball:  the new Frontier League team in Canada. 

(01:36:46) CLASSICS WITH THE CANUCK: A crossover with our movie show SCREEN JOKES as we discuss the Star Wars Holiday Special with Mike Donis. And he’d never seen it until now.

(1:47:35) IT’S A WONDERFUL (ASTROS) LIFE:  In our new segment, EXTRA INNINGS, we’re making short films and sketches that tie to baseball. Jim uses a holiday classic to FINALLY put the Astros sign stealing scandal to bed.

(2:05:46). CLOSING IT OUT: Jess joins me to wrap up the year. We talk some things from 2020 that were actually positive. We name 8 teams that we’re going to see. 

We also announce a new arrival to our family and a CONTEST for our favorite minor league teams.
