Shut up Stein - Episode 13: C 3/4

Toast and I take a long hike up a steep mountain to find some billygoats of the game. Now there were a ton of questions I could've asked these guys: is C4 the greatest franchise of all time? Do you think that the four of you together hurts growth? What's your opinion on Billy vanishing? Yeah, those probably would've been good questions, but sometimes when you've got your buddies on the horn you just wanna talk wiffs. So that's what we did. The tough questions can wait.

Shut up Stein - Sidearm Stories part 2: The Actual Wiffle Parliament
Monday May 18, 2020
Monday May 18, 2020
Every time I talk wiffs with someone (especially the newer wifflers) they bring the parliament up. "What the fuck does that even mean anyway?" is a common question. I kinda forget to explain shit sometimes, and when I was unpacking some stuff I found my original notes from last year on it. Here I break down not only the idea of what a wiffs parliament is, but I also explain the specific roles that people would have in such asituation. Let's see if we can get even less listens thank my last side-arm story!

Don’t Get Wiffliminated Episode 5 - ORWBL
Wednesday May 13, 2020
Wednesday May 13, 2020
With ORWBL Commish Alex Friedman judging and a panel of Koby Keck, Wes Ellis, Drew Luther and Mark Richards, this show was 22 minutes of hot take theater. They talk about the negativity their league gets on the national stage, pick a player without much experience who could be a Hall of Famer, they change an ORWBL rule, name their favorite field not named Migley and are asked if Maple City will 4-peat. Very fun show!

Shut up Stein - Episode 12: Let's MEAT up

Sunday May 10, 2020
Does anyone remember how this podcast started? If you don't go listen to Holey Commutes October 8th edition, and then the October 11th edition. This alllllll started with the MEATS dropped out of the FP NCT event and I just couldn't keep my mouth shut about it. We finally get to the bottom of thins with Jimmy Cole as our guest. More importantly, JC details the inner workings of a fastpitch/medium pitch event in Chicago that's he's running in conjunction with....well I guess you'll just have to listen to get the details on that one. Oh also, the audio is a bit shaky, we'll be back to normal on the next episode.

Shut up Stein - Episode 11: El Sueño
Sunday May 10, 2020
Sunday May 10, 2020
I don't think theres a single person who pestered me about coming on the show more than Chris Sarnowski Jr (aka Red). Welp, now he gets his chance. Joined by Sueño teammate Devin Torres, we discuss the names you may have never heard of in wiffs but most definitely need to be paying homage too. We also break down Devin's surge in the wiffleball world, and try to find a silver lining in his ECW league suspending all events until father notice. This blows.

Let's get down with a little more chill convo in this episode. Ben Schaffer and Babz join us to talk about the best bat in the game, the best ways to get down with wiffs in the COVID-19 era, and, of course, talk a little shit. ALSO: Don't forget, if you've got 5-10 minute of bullshit that you want to ramble about, record it on your phone and send it to shutupstein@gmail.com. I'll post just about anything that's on your mind!

Shut up Stein - Episode 9: Cooke-in in the Kitchen
Sunday May 10, 2020
Sunday May 10, 2020
Yesterday it was announced, officially, that MAW is postponing their opening day event. Fucking. Bummer. At least we can bring Tim and Paul (Who I still can't tell apart by voice) on to the show to. talk about the implications of COVID-19 as well as hear a little about their broader vision for not just MAW, but also wiffs writ large. I don't think I've ever been more impressed with the head(s) on a league owner's shoulders than these guys. I. hate to say it but..Connah might have been right about the Cookes!

Who is the kind of wiffle beef? Dumb question, it's ya boy, but we get another beef star on the horn in Carl Coffee ( also, LFGBEEF). CC has an interesting history in not only running wiff events, but also using social media to amass clicks, followers, and even *gasp* teams?! How do we do it? How do we use the magic of the internet to get ahold of the people who are most likely to play wiffs? Check it out as we knock boots on another classic episode.
Oh, also, there's a pandemic.
