## Resource

Jon Lester’s got a playful bone to pick with Anthony Rizzo—calling him “such an idiot” for ditching Miami’s boat life for TV gigs—but behind the teasing, Lester’s genuinely impressed. The Cubs’ 2016 champs still share that locker-room chemistry: Rizzo’s nailed his broadcasting debut with NBC and Netflix, earning praise from Lester himself, who even texted him post-game saying he sounded great. From MVP-caliber slugger to TV analyst, Rizzo’s transition’s seamless—and Lester’s roasting? Just friendly banter from a guy who still sees his old teammate as a genius… even if he’s too busy to chill. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
