Jack welcomes friend CJ Revis to the show for a conversation centered around one their favorite video game franchises of all-time, Backyard Baseball.
Together, Jack and CJ discuss what made Backyard Baseball an all-time classic game, including the power-ups, the zany Backyard kids, the pros, the unconventional fields, the simple-yet-wonderful gameplay; everything they love about this great game. Jack and CJ share memories from their childhood, playing Backyard Baseball, and talk about a potential revival for the Humongous Entertainment series in the 2020s.
