Shohei Othani is an animal in the batter's box as well as on the mound. He is putting up numbers that haven’t been done since Babe Ruth.

We all heard of the Miracle Mets but the 2022 is the Magical Mets. They are a fun team to watch and the Trumpets add a lot of pomp and circumstance that baseball needs.

Phil and I also discuss the difference between Yankee Stadium and Citi Field.   If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com with a link to you...

Robo umpires would ruin the game of baseball for me. I love the human aspect, the mistakes, and the imperfections of the game. I understand that millions of dollars and a championship is on the line and the call should be right but baseball should stick to it’s roots and keep umpires.  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com with a link to your we...

If you haven’t seen The Captain on ESPN, you need to. They do a fantastic job telling the story of Derek Jeter and it highlights the importance of the team aspect in baseball. The Yankees of the 90s had the makeup that is rarely seen in baseball and it was the real difference between the Yankees of the 90s and the Yankees of the early 2000s.  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  ple...

College baseball isn’t nearly as big as college basketball or college football but they do have the college world series. Phil and I discuss the decision young players have to make between the choice to go to the MLB draft or to do 3 years of college. Man, it’s a choice I wish I had to make.  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com with a link to...

You’d think the MLB Trade Deadline would be a lot about stats, numbers, and projections, especially from an MLB scout, but Phil throws a monkey wrench into those expectations, and that is a player's makeup and how they would fit in with the team.  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com with a link to your website and let me know why!  More Conten...

All I want in life is a wife, two kids, and a house. Well, that and my son to be a playa with a gray streak in his hair.

If you use the power structure in your definition of racism I have a question for you. Can a Chinese person be racist to a black person, or vice versa? Who  has more power to whom?

At the beginning of 2021 I stopped making regular student loan payments due to President Biden’s promise to cancel some, or all, student debt. I put away $50 a week and now I will have almost $5k saved by the end of the year. Here was my thought process.  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com with a link to your website and let me know why!  Mor...

Colorism is an interesting topic to me because it has so many similar characteristics to racism. Chrisitan does a great job in explaining different circumstances in Spanish culture, black culture,and other cultures as well when it comes to colorism, racism, and classism.  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com with a link to your website and let...

College ain’t what it used to be. There's a bunch of problems with college when it comes to the price, the length, and a piece of paper that says you are qualified to work a certain job. So that begs the question, is college a racket? Are the benefits that do exist justify the price and the decades of debt?  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com...

Across college campuses in the US  black students would prefer to dorm with other black students due to the fact that they feel uncomfortable dorming with white students. So that leaves Christian and I to ask a few questions. Is this segregation and how does it compare to the 1960s when white students were saying the exact same thing.  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please ema...

What exactly does it mean to be considered “middle class.” How much money do you need to make? Even If you fit the definition can you still afford the same things the “middle class” could afford 30-50 years ago? I think there are a handful of problem with the middle class,the reality of our situation, and what it means to be considered in the middle class.  If you want to be a guest on Talking wit...

My friend Rickie and I love to debate anything. One of our favorite games to play is “Is it Racist.” In this example we talk about the situation going on in a Minneapolis School district firing white teachers first. Christian and I discuss and try to figure out if it’s racist.   If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com with a link to your website a...

Joe Biden announced that he will cancel $10k of student debt which in reality kind of helps some people. Christian and I break down how it helps us in addition to millions of middle class Americans, BUT, we also break down how it does not fix what caused the problem to begin with and why it's a half assed measure.  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodc...

“If you’re going to be stupid, be smart about it”- Dad. “You can be right or you can have friends.” - Mom. That’s the best advice my parents have ever given me and I think both apply perfectly to my friend Tom who may or may not have Qanon beliefs. Shoutout to my buddy Tom!  If you want to be a guest on Talking with Tarashuk  please email me at will@apspodcast.com with a link to your website and l...

Christian was gone in Spain for 2 weeks and he had one hell of a trip. He tells the story of how cheap and affordable everything was, how there aren't any Ubers, and how he broke his iPhone and ended up with 3 android phones.
