All The Smoke

Jimmy Rollins joins All The Smoke Baseball for one of the realest conversations we've had yet.
 
The 2007 NL MVP, World Series champion, and Phillies all-time hits leader takes us from the fields of Alameda all the way to Cooperstown's doorstep.
 
J-Roll holds nothing back. He tells the story of the minor league coach who said he'd never make it with that "big-a** swing," the rookie-year beef with Scott Rolen that ended with the angriest home run of his life, and the advice Ken Griffey Jr. gave him at 17 that carried his whole career.
 
He breaks down how Larry Bowa built him into a Gold Glove shortstop, what made the 2008 Phillies core special — Chase Utley's grit, Ryan Howard's confidence and Pat Burrell as the glue. Rollins also gets honest about his Hall of Fame wait.

Kevin Hart warned us. Will Ferrell is one of the funniest people alive and he confirmed it on ALL THE SMOKE. Matt & Stak got into all of it with Will: Anchorman, Old School, Talladega Nights, Semi-Pro, plus his new series "The Hawk," where he plays Lonnie Hawkins, a pro golfer chasing his magic late in his career. And because Will is a diehard Lakers fan, he told us about the time he "ejected" Shaq from a game. We could try to explain the rest, but we were laughing too hard to take notes. Just watch or listen. After years of calling Stak "Ron Burgundy" for reading anything that hits the screen, this one has been a long time coming.

You don't find many as talented as the hilarious Deon Cole between acting, directing, and comedy. We got up with the Chicago comedy legend to talk about his role as Don King in the Michael movie and the current state of comedy. Deon had us rolling with stories about getting security called on him at the Roots Picnic, the time Idris Elba pistol whipped him on the set of The Harder They Fall, and watching DeRay Davis's evolution up close. Few guests had us laughing quite like Deon.

We've been working on this one for a while: we got 44 on ALL THE SMOKE. With the Obama Presidential Center freshly opened in Chicago, Matt & Stak got a real sit down with Barack Obama himself.

We also broke down the Knicks' championship run with him, from Brunson's heart to why he's officially crowning him the king of New York, and got his honest take on a divided America. Plus, Obama opened up on what he misses most since leaving the White House and how he's spending his time now mentoring the next generation of leaders.
