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.
