Tipping Pitches

The Tipping Pitches Power Hour Pt. 2

·1 hr 25 min·5 clips
Bobby and Alex launch a two-hour beer-chugging question marathon for charity, promising unedited chaos.
Bobby Wagner and Alex Bazeley host the second installment of their 'Power Hour,' a structured drinking game where they answer 60 listener-submitted questions in 60 minutes while sipping Miller High Life. They explain the rules upfront: one question per minute, two timeouts each, and a charity fundraiser for You Can Play. The episode is largely unedited, capturing their real-time reactions and increasing intoxication. Questions cover baseball topics like choosing between Paul Skenes and Jackson Chourio, underrated cities like Lisbon, and favorite double plays. Personal anecdotes emerge, such as Alex nearly working in a restaurant after media job rejections and Bobby's jinx of R.A. Dickey's near-perfect game. The hosts frequently highlight questions for deeper discussion in the Patreon-exclusive second half. Recurring themes include labor issues in baseball, critiques of politicians' fake fandom, and playful debates about pop culture, from Al Pacino's best movie to favorite subway lines in NYC. The tone is informal, humorous, and meandering, with the hosts often going over time and forgetting to drink. They end by considering which MLB team to force Elon Musk to own, suggesting the Yankees' fans would 'kill him.'
