Charlie and Tom dive into the stories behind walkout songs and what they really say about a player. From DJ Kool and LSU to Rage Against the Machine and Hendrix, the guys break down the music, mindset, and adrenaline that came with taking the mound in the big leagues.

Plus, some behind-the-scenes clubhouse stories, pregame routines, and why a walkout song is a lot more than just background music.

This episode is all over the place in the best way possible. Movies, drinks, baseball stories, childhood memories, and plenty of nostalgia from two former big leaguers who clearly spent a little too much time in clubhouses.

Bullpen guys are a different breed.

Charlie and Tom talk pregame superstitions, recovery routines, bullpen pressure, crazy travel stories, celebrity run-ins, and memories involving Randy Johnson and Félix Hernández.

And yes…the plane story is completely ridiculous.

Rick Rizzs has been calling baseball for 41 years and he’s got the stories to prove it.

On this episode of The Late Innings Show, we sit down with the longtime voice of the Mariners to talk about the moments, the players, and the calls that have stuck over the years—including some of the biggest moments in Mariners history.

From iconic games to behind-the-scenes stories, this is a look at the game through someone who’s lived it every day.

We also get into how baseball has evolved, what’s changed, and what still feels the same.

And it all somehow traces back to a letter a kid wrote to his hero.

This one’s worth a listen.

The last 3 outs sound simple…until you’re the one on the mound.

Everything speeds up, the margin disappears, and somehow you’re expected to be perfect.

We get into what that actually feels like, why closing a game is a different animal, and mix in some fun stuff like just how rare no-hitters really are, plus a few bullpen stories along the way.

Some analysis, some chaos…exactly how it should be.

We’re joined by Dominic Leone breaking down the real stuff you remember—bus rides, bullpen chaos, and a few all-time singing moments.

Classic clubhouse stories you only get from the bullpen.

We had one of our favorite teammates, Joe Beimel, on the show.

We talk bullpen life, his 13-year career, and somehow get into what’s harder — an immaculate inning as a reliever or a perfect game in bowling.

Charlie Furbush and Tom Wilhelmsen talk Opening Day, the first week of the season, and what it actually feels like to take the mound early on. From bullpen stories to facing top lineups, it’s the side of the game fans don’t always get to hear.
