Description

The Ringer's Ben Lindbergh and Jason Concepcion banter about Jason's move, convoluted 'Kingdom Hearts' titles, and what they want from 'Destiny 2,' then talk to Minnesota Twins pitcher Trevor May about how injury rehab impacts his gaming, his attempts to turn other athletes on to Twitch streaming, the parallels between esports and traditional sports, and whether he worries about a backlash from fans or his team because of his hobbies (7:00). Then they bring on NASCAR driver Ryan Blaney to talk about how he fits games around his race schedule, whether games can capture (and prepare drivers for) the exhilaration of real racing, his favorite video game vehicles, his surprising 'Star Wars' movie preference, and his opinion of podracing (29:45).
