[@yonh5350]

this show is so damn good, mlb gotta promote it more, genuinely has gotten me more into baseball

[@thomascampbell2128]

Zac remembering exactly what he threw to mookie is awesome lol

[@taze27]

I love how Mookie is already working at his post career job, while still at his peak as a MLB player. 😆

[@justkallmekai]

I'm glad mookie and zac know what he did was ridiculous. That first HR was one of the most impressive feats of getting your hands inside the ball that I've seen live

[@spencerlomeli7411]

Dude let’s go mookie these interviews are so dope

[@sun2woo]

I love these interviews that Mookie does.

[@BeastBoy-kz5bl]

Love these, Mookie is a fantastic host

[@tylerfink2037]

Wow Mookie had 2 guests from the D-Backs come on the show. I’m not a Mookie fan cause he was on the Red Sox but it’s fun listening to him talk to other players

[@greetingsmars]

I don’t get that you clearly like him bc you’re enjoying listening to him, why be like “not a fan tho”. He’s not a sock any more, A. & B. it’s not like he chose them either an owner traded him to them

[@greetingsmars]

I’m a padres fan but I’ll say I’m a fan of Mookie as an individual

[@tylerfink2037]

@@greetingsmars first of all, I will never like anyone that played for the Red Sox past or present. Second, dodgers are my second least favorite team so why like him when he goes there? I’m not saying he’s a dick or anything but he was a very different person until he came to LA

[@username-kn3oh]

​@tylerfink2037 your a 12 year old Yankees fan huh

[@matta6395]

Zac is a great guy

[@MsMymy12345]

The fans are here! I love the dbacks and suns!

[@noahdiaz2302]

Need someone from STL sometime Mookie try to get Noot I feel like he would be a great one

[@garhumpston5495]

Damn, dude kinda looks nerdish in his uni and glasses but normal in street clothes. Seems like a good guy.

[@Alex335iii]

Ahhh love ya mookie

[@Carrera_Quan]

Players understand how good Ohtani is. Alot of Fans don't.

[@goldmo2427]

Players say whatever but ohtani being a hitter and pitcher actually statically does not make him best player ever he hasn’t even had a top 10 season ever for example mookie 2018 season was ahead of ohtani only way ohtani goes beyond is being elite at both at same time which he hasn’t been

[@taze27]

​@@goldmo2427Trout was and still is considered the greatest of all time and he can only hit. Ohtani can already do what Trout does but he can be a Cy Young caliber pitcher. Mookie has never been mentioned in the greatest of all time conversation. He's half the player Ohtani is literally.

[@shutthefupdonny]

@@goldmo2427 You said something? LOL

[@Alex335iii]

Mookie you are the GOAT

[@nickmorris9311]

Zac is a much better interview than Carroll lol

[@levisublett9877]

Corbs is just too down to earth and normal.

[@yerrr4978]

Feel like their age difference definitely played a huge part in that. Gallen can take Mookies jokes more with a grain of salt compared to Carroll lol

[@ctv77]

Gallen is clearly older and more relaxed, Corbin is a kid at the end of the day. He’ll get more comfortable.

[@ebscoHOSTpub]

Corbin is fkn 22 years old. Probably never been on a podcast and not used to the lights and cameras and mic....yet

[@joctober2260]

please get strider on this

[@emmgee170]

Zac is so fine omg 😍😍😍

[@grandslamdunkman]

Get julio on the show 🙏

[@Alex335iii]

Mookie be fr talk to us

[@alextovar4080]

Please have Dansby Swanson next!!!

[@marsy8148]

That moment at 54:26 when Zach points out that Rich Hill was good pick because of its rarity score but uses the word “slowest” and confuses mookie 😂. Then he explains why it was a good pick and Mookie is just like “why tf did he say “slowest percentage… those two words don’t even go together” 😂

[@Alex335iii]

I got both yall

[@mari89701]

tyler glasnow great hair

[@yerrr4978]

Get Steven Kwan!

[@yungplouie]

thank you Mookie! that Corbin interview was hard to watch but who cares bro is 22 yr old worth $ 100M + 😂😂

[@rockabillyguitarcompany4706]

Couldn’t see MJ or Kobe interviewing + being chummy with an in division rival. The intimidation factor is lessened and it shows why Mookie couldn’t get a hit off of Gallen or any Dback in the playoffs.

[@Alex335iii]

I’ll play you in the show and hit dingers
