The legendary Perry Barber returns to talk to the boys about her four decades behind the plate, whether or not we’re getting closer to a female umpire in the Major Leagues, her friendship with Chicago folk singer Steve Goodman, hanging out with Hillary Clinton and that crazy summer fifty years ago that put her front and center with Lorne Michaels, Chevy Chase and the “Not Ready for Primetime Players”.

Author William Brashler joins the boys to talk about how basketball and a random phone call to James “Cool Papa” Bell provided inspiration for The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings, the biggest difference between his book and the movie (thanks Billy Dee Williams!), being on set with Richard Pryor and hanging out in Chicago with James Earl Ray, er…Jones.

Hall of Fame DNA founder Vanessa Ivy Rose returns to talk to the boys about her most recent business venture, her friendship with Negro Leagues legend Ron “Schoolboy” Teasley, the recent shelving of Netflix’s proposed Prince documentary, her (and Lou’s) phenomenal taste in shoes and, for some reason, Shawn’s horrific fit game.

POP QUIZ. What do you get when you combine a handful of professional athletes, copious amounts of alcohol and one crazy night at a SuperBowl party?
