Summary

Today we’re joined by legendary sportswriter Jeff Pearlman — one of the best to ever do it. He’s been covering sports for over 30 years, writing iconic bios on athletes like Walter Payton and Showtime Lakers… but his next chapter? A deep dive into Tupac. We talk the wild days of MLB in the ‘90s, Michael Irvin stories, the raw truth of reporting from inside a clubhouse. Chad’s childhood gets shattered when he learns Barry Bonds was kind of a renob behind the scenes. If you’re into sports, storytelling, or '90s hip hop, this EP is for you.
