REPOST: What Will New Manager Tony Vitello Do First?

[We had a major audio issue with this episode so we expired it and republished with corrected audio; this is the only way we can ensure all listeners get the updated file. Our apologies for the inconvenience. It's Ben's fault. No, wait ... it's Bob's fault. Yeah. Bob did it.]

We have orange smoke. The ever faithful brothers discuss the closing of the deal with new manager Tony Vitello and then discuss his first moves as he drinks from the fire hose of information coming at him about the San Francisco Giants. Also, Matthew does a book review.

We reference our dormant cocktail podcast The Perfect Sip a few times in this episode. If you haven't listened to it yet, you can check it out here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listen
