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.
