Graig, your chips/soda/ice cream answer would be my EXACT answer, that was weird haha. Really enjoyed Mookie and his questions! Happy Birthday, sort of 😂
Happy Birthday, buddy!!! Thank you so much for all your kindness from my first midlife comment to this super fun discussion. No one does a better job curating a healthy, respectful and positive community like you do, Graig.
Finally! This was fantastic fellas. Even though you were dead wrong about both Pedro and Nolan Ryan, you totally redeemed yourself with Kiss, Graig! An enjoyable segment for sure, guys. 👊😃
Fantastic banter! Glad Graig’s birthday wish came true. KISS is more about the merch than the music. Can’t believe the continued Piazza and Pedro bashing 😉
Happy Birthday Graig. Two of the best dudes in TH-cam land right here. Except, Nolan Ryan is underrated!?!? 😳 I named my son Nolan after that man! 😂 I totally get what you are saying though. I’m not sure why anyone would put him top 3, but I might make an argument for top 10. I also agree that Greg Maddux is underrated. No doubt about that. I’m glad Mookie let the world see his face for an entire episode. Great job guys.
@@MidLifeCards I watched Captain Ahab: The story of Dave Stieb documentary on TH-cam and it made me an official Jack Morris hater. If you haven't seen it, it's highly recommended. In addition to other Secret Base docs on youtube like the one on Lonnie Smith, and "The Bob delimma"
I really love Mookie’s approach to collecting. What a cerebral and thoughtful guy! I’ll be sure to check out his channel for sure. Anyone who has such little regard for TPG is good by me… PSA is even more overrated than Nolan Ryan, haha.
Hi Graig. An excellent episode with a great guest, Mookie. I totally get your point of Nolan Ryan and Greg Maddux. I also agree with your reasoning on both. I love your t-shirt, looks great on you. Talk soon my friend.
I believe I told you in person, I laugh at the notion that you could do something 'short winded', although I think Mookie was a bit unfair with the two part questions. Great to see him on your channel and glad he is putting himself out there more. I'm so happy I got to witness the birth and reign of the Cornhole Kings of Cuyahoga County.
This was the most entertaining dual interview I think I’ve seen in a long time. You both literally kept me laughing through the majority of the “short” run time (lol it was worth it). People are going to be demanding this be a series. Also I want to back up your recommendation that everyone watching this go subscribe to the Mookie Chillson channel. Definitely worthwhile.
I call foul on the corn hole kings! I had a cramp, my hang nail was bothering me, I didn’t have my favorite beer, my rotator cuff was acting up…… I can go on forever! lol, congrats champs!
TH-cam commenters are the back bone of the community. Heart and soul. The engine that makes it all possible, well, maybe not. But I appreciate your kind words, Graig. And Mookie, is so eloquent and articulate, that even if we have had different reasons for not posting videos, though he does now. I kind of should adopt those answers as my own anyway. Hope you had a great birthday. Despite the Covid. And, let's talk about that shirt. What a shirt that is. Stephen with a PH. Go O's!
Fellas, great banter between you guys . I would have commented earlier but I just now finished looking up all of the big words Mookie used during the video. I think I’m caught up! S see o many excellent answers and I know that a time clock makes it harder , I’m sure the Pedro hive will take it easy on you Graig. This is the first one of these I’ve watched, and I’m definitely gonna go back and do a little binge as time provides. Bringing in the big talent with all of his Mookiemaniacs will do that! Enjoyed it fellas!
Graig, I completely agree with your definition of “over-rated”. But I’d argue that any CLOSER who’s in the HOF is more overrated than Ryan. Even Mariano… For him to be the first-ever unanimous first-ballot HOFer is simply ridiculous. Pitching one inning per game does not merit those types of accolades.
Corn hole kings my butt!!!! I’ve never seen so much luck in my life!!! Mookie was making farting noises the whole time! You guys, killed it! I really enjoy seeing two friends talk the hobby more than even me being a part of the video! Great job guys!!!
Happy birthday man! it's funny Mookie mentioned Tyson, I've told people the National is like the the old Tyson saying, "everyone has a plan until they get hit in the mouth" and the National hits you in the mouth if you haven't gone (or even if you have)
LOVED this so much! For the record, I agree with Ryan as overrated in fandom/hobbydom. He’s a legend when it comes to K’s, no-hitters, and longevity BUT when it comes to actual pitching metrics that matter (ERA+, WHIP, efficiency, etc), he wasn’t close to guys like Maddux, Pedro, Unit, etc. Also, not that its necessarily fair (or his fault).. 0 rings, and 0 Cy Young awards. I have Ryan ranked #10 among RHP, and #45 overall.
Iconic!! I think you’re probably right about Nolan. Although! He does have a ring with the Miracle ‘69 Mets! And the only known nipple card in Topps history during the celebration on that “We’re Number One!” 70T card.
If Graig said Roberto Clemente would you have ended the friendship? Poor Darren. The offtopic episode with Mike Junk Wax Hero could be his last. At least if you go out, it's good to go out on top.
I felt the need to give you some precious moments of my time with a comment. It was wonderful to get to meet both of you and an honor to be steamrolled by your cornhole juggernaut. I do have to comment on one thing though. While I was not a fan of Pedro at the time, that crazy old man charged uncontrollably at him and I thought Pedro somewhat mercifully guided him to roll to the side. It could have been a lot worse.
Mookie is a MVP human, not just commenter! Graig, I agree with your logic on Nolan Ryan. I would call George Steinbrenner the villain of my youth. And The Doors are most overrated in my opinion!
I was on the fence about unsubscribing to your channel when you mentioned Kiss and Nolan Ryan as overrated, but when you said Pedro was the biggest sports villain, well, I realized that you had some redeeming value. LOL Great video and questions from the corn hole kings.
Darren, seems more than comfortable with sharing. Who else would have a 1K subs giveaway for the chance to win an actual Christy Matthewson playing days card?!
@@brentrichardsbaseballcards TH-cam keeps telling me it's about the people. The cards and players are secondary.....I can't relate lol. But hope you do have that video.
I agree with you on Ryan.plus one time owned a PSA 6 sold it with my 1968 set. The card, set, and the player overrated sorry Darren. Enjoyed putting it together but got bored with the set though it has some great rookie and second year hall of famers. . It just did not hold my enthusiasm. Just wish I held onto it a little longer as I missed the COVID bubble.
Great job gentleman. Nolan Ryan is the most overrated pitcher ever. The most important commodity for a pitcher is winning the game you pitched in. Something Ryan was shockingly bad at for his talent. As for Pedro? Posada took care of him.
Love Posada and the dynasty Yanks. No availability is the best pitcher quality. Nolan is a bit overrated but he pitched so many innings at a high level
Darren shouldn't be offended. The guy ranked 10 pitchers higher than Nolan in his own countdown. If Graig called Rickey Henderson overrated i'd unsubscribe to both of you guys immediately.

I'm feeling ok. No worries. Thanks so much.
A most delightful combination of mutual friendship, good-natured banter, and real-time channel Armageddon!😆👊
Thanks my friend. Mookford is a legend.

Great job, Mookie. Truly enjoyed your questions for, Graig. Over rated and compounds from here on out.
I enjoyed this video as always! I agree on KISS, but Piazza and Ryan??? Blasphemy!!!😂. Another fun short.
LOL. Piazza was because it was my chance to take a shot at Mookie. I didn't really believe that.
I'm hung over from The National, and I didn't even go!
me too.

I'm hung over and did go.

I think he may be top 10. And I think him and Bob Gibson may be the two most feared pitchers of all time. Nolan Ryan is a stud. That’s not in doubt.
Mookie is a great guest! More MOOKIE
I totally agree. He's the best.
Jack Morris.
For overrated?

That’s fair
Think eBay sport card sales will be significantly down this month as the national sucked all the cash out of the hobby?
Or...it could've gotten the juices flowing for all the collectors that didn't attend the national.
