Warm up those vocal cords and break out your team jerseys; Zach Attack with Dad is back and hitting a home run in your podcast lineup! We're gearing up for another thrilling baseball season, and Zach is already buzzing about his new Black Pink merch. It's that time of year where the crack of the bat is music to our ears, and speaking of tunes, we've got the beat dropping with Zach's favorite K-pop group. Join us for that sweet spot where sports fandom meets personal passions, with me, Skip, and my son, Zach, as we swing into stories, predictions, and the kind of dad-son banter that'll have you grinning ear to ear.

Even if you're not from Buffalo or Pittsburgh, there's a place for you here on the bleachers with us, as we tackle everything from MLB opening day excitement to honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. It's a play-by-play that's less about the scoreboard and more about the stories that make sports so much more than just a game.

Speaker 2:That's it.
Speaker 1:Very fast trains and they play a lot of baseball over there. Wow, Remember who went over there to play baseball. We had one of the. We had some players that actually lived with us while they were here in town, but then who went and pitched in Korea?

Speaker 1:Yeah, and he was a pitcher right For the nationals. But he pitched here in Syracuse, lived with us and then he decided to take a deal with the playing career. Wow, yeah that was kind of crazy, yeah, but good for him yeah. He definitely had to do something. You know what, Amy? I know she's probably going to. It's like stop talking about me. No, Amy is the best, David is the best, but Amy lives in Nashville. And do you realize? If I'm not mistaken, Nashville might be getting snow.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:Because what I'm seeing on the news is the fact that they could get like three or four or five inches. I was talking to Big D and Bubba and he was sending me some of the, some of the the forecast from Nashville. Big D, big D.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, yeah, another character, but back when I was Big D and Bubba, I was Korean.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, big D and Bubba, that's right.
Speaker 2:Big D, my kid and Chris. My God, it tastes so cool.
Speaker 1:That was very cool.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:That was very cool, but he's been sending me the forecast. Now, here in Syracuse, where we do this podcast or I do my podcast while we do all the I'm already from the pod zone, but I can look outside and see green grass. The lawn is green. However, a week ago we got like almost a foot of snow, but it's gone already. But if you were to drive just north of here, it's what they call Lake Effect, right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Lake Effect.
Speaker 1:And Lake Effect is when the wind blows in across Lake Ontario and if it comes directly from the east areas north of Syracuse, they will get a foot, two feet, three feet in a matter of a day. And that's what's happening right now. And that's the same thing that's happening in Buffalo, because you know they've the Buffalo Bills game. They postponed it until tomorrow afternoon, I believe. Four, four three that's tomorrow. Tomorrow is Monday, and do you know what tomorrow is? It's a holiday.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:Martin Luther King Jr Day. Absolutely, it is Good going, zach, I'm proud of you, excellent. But so in Buffalo, the winds, if they blow directly in off from the east, they come across Lake Gary and that's why Buffalo is getting a whole ton of snow. I got friends up there and they've been sending me some video clips and it's like it's it's a good thing they didn't have the game today. You wouldn't have been able to see it. Number one and number two. I probably wouldn't even be able to get into the stadium. But they're going to try it tomorrow afternoon, so hopefully things are a whole lot better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And well, like I said before, we have no snow here. It's no weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I mean, we've had very little snow in all the years, this time of the year we've got like three feet in the yard, but nothing now, huh.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, do you remember when some of the ball players lived with us?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And you know a few of them had never seen snow before because, they're the Latino, are they from Panama or they're from Columbia? And I remember the first snow they were out in the yard making snow angels because it was just like this is. You know, they loved it. They had never seen snow before, but it all happened right here.
Speaker 2:Nice.
Speaker 1:All right, let's back it up a little bit.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about the holiday.
Speaker 1:What else did you get for Christmas? I want you to get something really, really special.

Best buddies, right, Best buddies. And last night at a not going to get into a lot of the details, but at a, I was at a banquet and a comedian was there and the comedian was walking that line, which is one thing, and I was like I'm going to do that and I understand how comedians work, but then he got into jokes about people with special needs and it broke my heart because that shouldn't be done at all. And then, as you can see, right here, this young man right here is the best. Happy New Year, Sarah. Sarah for peace.
Speaker 2:Sarah French.
Speaker 1:Sarah, long time, long time, right, but anyways, that's, that's the story for another time, but I just want everybody to know, as you can see right here, there is nothing in this world that is anything better than this young man that is sitting right next to me.

It's so cold in Nashville they're not used to all this. You know, they get a flake, they get just a little snowflake in Nashville and the city shuts down. Yeah, there's a couple of reasons.
