Guaranteed Human.

Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Pro's MLB.

This is the Fantasy Baseball podcast.

It is me, Joey P.

Joe Pizapia, and we are continuing on with our Ultimate Guide series.

Today, we are going to catcher and is no better person

to talk about the backstops than the guy who wrote them all up in this year's fantasy

baseball Blackbook 2026 available on Amazon right now. He's the one the only Casey Bubba.

Bubba, it's so good to see you, my friend. Every year you do the catcher profiles, you do the relief pictures for me as well. And of course, you host your own podcast. You're a man of many hats. And that's what I like the most about you. But unlike a lot of bald guys, you don't wear the hat on the show. You show it proudly like I do. And I just want to say, I respect that. Yeah. so you know, I was mentored by one bald bearded beautiful man at one point in time. So yeah, I've learned many things. And Joe, you'll be there soon enough. Don't you worry. At least the bald part. I don't know if I could help you with the rest. But thanks. I heard or Rico. I heard a Rico's going quicker, but I never see it Because he's always got the lid. He's always got the lid on. You know, when he first go bald,

you kind of try to hide. I heard Orico's going quicker, but I never see it because he's always got the lid. He's always got the lid on.

You know, when he first go bald, you kind of try to hide it, but you don't. But first, thanks for letting me join you guys. Of course, always I always love talking to my boys over here in Fantasy Pros land. It's great to catch up with Joe. I haven't talked to, a piece of P, sorry, too Joe's tonight. Peace of Pete. I haven't talked to you. I haven't talked to you in a while.

So that's been great to catch up with you, I haven't talked to a piece of P, sorry, too Joe's tonight, piece of Pia, I haven't talked to you

haven't talked to you in a while. So that's been great to catch up with you, Joe, O'Riko. I talk to you often. I still appreciate it. But it's great to get up with both you guys. Have some fun talking catchers with my, my passion project, all because of years of writing for it at the Blackbook. There you go.

And of course, Joe, Rico and Bubba were hanging out last night doing a live stream together.

It ended late. Joe O'Riko went out for burgers after. It's like the single guy lifestyle, you know, where he's just, I'm just doing baseball drafts and going out for burgers at 11 o'clock. That's what kind of road you're living on here. Maybe that maybe that's why what's under that hat starting to fall apart. Maybe they take a little better care of yourself, Joe Rico. I'm just saying. Look, everybody who knows my medical history over the last couple of years with the kidney stones knows that I do not take proper care of myself, but that is, you know, being a single guy, being the bachelor, I definitely need to clean it up. And maybe I will. Once I get closer to 30, I turned 27 the other day. And once I hit 30, maybe then I'll start to clean it up. You have the most old man energy of any youth I've ever met in my whole life. I thought Andrew Erickson was bad with his dad jokes, but you, you push it to what you were like on the porch in the rocking chair. It is crazy, bro. Yeah, I'm kind of a curmudgeon. I, I've become this way from being a Toronto sports fan for the majority of my life and watching teams continually fail, whether it is in the regular season, the first round of the playoffs, or in extra innings of the World Series.

We're not going to go down that road.

But I do want to say, before we kick it off, you know, I did watch a movie last night. And it was the natural. Goodness gracious. After the burgers. After the burgers. You know, I'm a night owl. And I watched The Natural to pay tribute to the great Robert Duvall. And I just wanted to tip my hat to him.

One of the absolute greatest actors of all time.

Rest in peace.

100%.

True. to pay tribute to the great Robert Duvall. And I just wanted to tip my hat to him. One of the absolute greatest actors of all time.
