#29 | The Astros are a Deepfake: Blake Snell's Twitch Stream, MLBeards, and Rob Manfred is a Cartoon Villain

This week, for their first offseason episode, the thing Jordan and Nick love about baseball is Blake Snell's Twitch Stream! We also talk about bad photoshopping, how deepfaking is the future of baseball, and why Rob Manfred is bad this week. He's bad every week, but there's a new reason this week. We also spend a good five minutes complimenting each other.

(Also, Jordan here: I realized I said I took Rachel to see her favorite band but never said what the band is. it's Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. Check out them doing "S.O.B." live on the great British music show Later with Jools Holland.)

Thanks as always to the great @drawawalk for our artwork.

Stuff we talked about:
Peter Lerangis - aka Nick's dad - NYT-bestselling author of the Seven Wonders and Max Tilt series
Blake Snell's Twitch stream
Jordan's friend Watson's Twitch stream
That YouTube video Jordan watched about how to shave his beard
A Vox video about voguing for dumb white guys like Jordan
Native actor/activist Dallas Goldtooth's daughter's 7th grade social studies assignment
