John has officially reached DEFCON 1… and apparently, so has his wardrobe.

On this episode, John threatens public nudity if his latest sports prediction doesn’t come true (yes, we’re concerned too).

The MLB Needs To Let Vitello Be Vitello | Feb 20, 2026

Show notes

Hutt and Chad break down why the baseball world is buzzing, and it's because Tony Vitello didn't give Giants media the canned, corporate answers about moving from Knoxville to the Bay Area. He talked about leaks, he talked about stress, and he talked about how he almost stayed put because of how the news broke. The 'Old Guard' calls it his first unforced error and questions his loyalty. I’m calling it the first win of the season. Why? Because Tony Vitello is doing something Major League Baseball hates: He’s being a human being.
