Season 8, Episode 22 – The One Constant Through All the Years

Team of Rivals Podcast

While there's little left of the 2024 MLB season – for the Cubs and the Cards anyway – today's episode is dedicated to honoring the legendary James Earl Jones. His passing warrants a special episode, as his voice has been a constant throughout Ron's and Pete's lives, from the big screen to their favorite sports moments. (We assume the same is true for Elliott, but, well, you know…)

Join Ron and Pete as they reminisce about the iconic roles and unforgettable voice. From Darth Vader's menacing presence to the nostalgic monologue in Field of Dreams, they explore the impact of his work on our lives and our love for baseball and cinema.

Ron shares a heartfelt trip down memory lane, recalling the days of early gaming and the evolution of technology, while Pete dives into the significance of timeless storytelling and the universal truths that make films, television, and even podcasts long-lasting.

In a lighter segment, the guys discuss the advancements in computing, from the days of floppy disks, cassettes, and CEDs to the instant digital downloads of today. They also touch on the importance of creating new, original content in Hollywood and the need for fresh stories for the next generation.
