Hey, guys. Welcome to the 12th 6 podcast. I'm your host, Colin McHugh. Today we are talking to

big league starting pitcher, Charlie Morton. Charlie was my teammate with the Houston Astros for two seasons and might just be the most

interesting man in MLB, if not the world. Today we talk about his karaoke dreams, injuries,

and how data is the new bacon. If you like today's episode, subscribe so that you're always caught up whenever we release new episodes.

So without further ado, I hope you all enjoy today's conversation with Charlie Morton.

What's your go-to karaoke song?

I don't have one. I don't sing karaoke. I've sang karaoke. I had a karaoke bar one time. I think I sang

run by George Strait because Boone Logan asked me to sing it. I remember there Scranton with my wife

and Boone and we were at this karaoke bar and he was missing home he's from Holodis, Texas,

outside of San Antonio and he's like, man, I really would like for you to sing run. So I sang it.

He tugged on your heartstrings. Yeah, well, who doesn't, any country music fan likes George

Strait. I guess that would make me in the, I don't know George

straight very much because I didn't know, I did not, I did not, I did not know him personally.

I also do not know much of his music because I know people in Texas are going to really hate

me for that, but I didn't grow up listening to country music. I grew up listening to hip hop

in Atlanta. I grew up listening to like oldies, like the Beatles and Rolling Stones and Herman's

Hermits and all that kind of stuff that my dad liked to listen to.

And yeah, it was country he came later on in life for me.

So when you say hip hop, what falls under the classification of hip hop to you?

We've talked about this a little bit before too, but the idea that being from Atlanta,

you really do have to kind of embrace it a little bit.

It's kind of part of the culture there.
