Baseball’s most feared slugger finally speaks out. The all-time home run king, Barry Bonds, joins Matt and Stak for a raw, unfiltered conversation that delivers the honesty ALL THE SMOKE fans crave. For the first time in years, Bonds opens up about his complex journey through MLB - from growing up in the shadow of his father, Bobby Bonds, to becoming the most dominant hitter in baseball history. He breaks down the art of hitting and the mental warfare behind 762 home runs and 7 MVP awards, offering a rare glimpse into what made him such an unstoppable force at the plate. The conversation dives deep into the unwritten rules of baseball, his philosophy on the game, and the state of Black representation in MLB. Bonds also shares his surprising connection to basketball royalty, detailing his little-known friendship with Michael Jordan and reflecting on the legendary 1992 celebrity dunk contest alongside Deion Sanders and Mike Conley Sr. Beyond the past, Bonds gives his take on the modern game, weighing in on Shohei Ohtani’s unprecedented two-way dominance and offering a legend’s perspective on today’s biggest superstar. He also reveals what truly fueled his career and how he’s now channeling his baseball IQ into mentoring the next generation.
