It's not because of the brilliance of having a future all-time great like Mookie Betts as a guest, but this was the standard of excellence. I've rarely witnessed 2 gentlemen that are extremely gifted in their craft exude the meekness and class in supporting a local business. It's a beautiful thing and I'm going to continue to support each in their future endeavors.

Yeah Mookie is cool asf, like for real. Whenever I meet someone thats cool like Mook I automatically know that they are with all the extras. They are down to earth but will regulate if provoked. Solid dude. Great review. And it’s seriously Dope that you got a future first ballot hall of famer on.

Like Mookie once said, im not a baseball player, im an Athlete. Because the man can ball also. I definitely think he should have been 2023 MVP . I also feel maybe he would have been a great basketball player, but maybe never lasted in the NBA. But he's a amazing baseball player and will be in the hall of fame. It makes you wonder the choices and the decisions we make. We lose a life but gain another. Almost like he was meant to be baseball player. I dont know but life is crazy , how you think you will end up somewhere and end up somewhere you never dreamed or thought of.

Miss Alma's food looks delicious, and I'm definitely going to get me some. I already went to your downtown spot to by me a new suit. Lastly, it was so good to get to know the real Mookie Betts. Go Dodgers!
