Summary

Adrian Houser’s journey to the South Side has been anything but ordinary. On the latest episode of The White Sox Podcast, Chuck Garfien talks with the veteran right-hander about his chaotic year across five organizations, how a reset in Triple-A led to a 72-hour fast and the carnivore diet, and why he's pitching better than ever. Houser also reflects on his infamous “throw-up games,” his immediate chemistry with rookie catcher Edgar Quero, and how he's embracing a mentor role in Chicago’s rotation.
