The Barstool star shares his journey from Philly to NYC, where his career with the company has hit full stride.

MLB Network host Siera Santos joins the guys on Diggin' Deep!

Siera discusses her youth and high school experience, and what lead her to dropping out of high school. Unsure of what she wanted her future to be, she was always drawn to sports and baseball. Growing up a huge Suns fan in the Amare Stoudemire era in Phoenix, Siera would always go to games with her dad. Eventually, she was able to parlay her passion for sports into something she wanted to do professionally: become a sports reporter.

Siera went to Arizona State University, where she graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. She details her journey in climbing the tough and competitive ladder in the sports broadcasting world. It took Siera nearly a decade, but after years of sacrifice, hard work, and dedication, she got her big break at MLB Network.

Today, Siera is a host on 'Intentional Talk' with Kevin Millar and Ryan Dempster, and has also hosted 'Quick Pitch' in the past as well. She discusses what life is like at MLB Network, and what she's had to sacrifice to not only get her position, but maintain it while trying to have a work-life balance.

Finally, the crew ends the show by running through their best Halloween costumes. Siera's were pretty tough to beat over the years, as she pulled off a killer Walter White and Kevin Millar!

Barstool's 'Frank the Tank' joins the guys on Diggin' Deep!

Frank takes us back to his baseball roots, growing up in a family full of Yankee fans but falling in love with the Mets and Doc Gooden. In his days before Barstool, Frank worked as a court clerk until one Mets Opening Day an NJ Transit debacle lead to an infamous rant that peaked the interest of Dave Portnoy. Frank explains how his viral rant that aired on the news led to his first opportunity to work at Barstool Sports. From there, he never looked back.

Through the pain that Hoz brought Frank in the 2015 World Series until now, Frank has been a Mets die hard through and through. He takes us back to his best and worst memories as a fan, and the differences between Shea Stadium and Citi Field. Frank also reveals how long it takes him to get over a Mets loss, and what he deems are the unwritten rules of heckling players.

Frank has had a budding career at Barstool since the day of his NJ transit rant, making a name for himself through appearances on different shows and the recent success of his own show "Frank Walks."

Jose Iglesias joins the guys on Diggin' Deep!

Jose takes us back to his journey to the MLB from humble beginnings in Cuba. With just $500 to his name, Jose was able to make the most of his opportunities and make a major league roster with the Red Sox in 2011. He details the impact that World Series champ Dustin Pedroia had on him as a rookie and the role he played as Jose's mentor.

In 2013, Jose was traded to the Detroit Tigers where he played with several future Hall of Famers. He made an All-star game and hit over .300 in a lineup with one of the all-time greats, Miguel Cabrera. Jose takes us behind the scenes of what it was like to play with Miggy everyday, and what he learned from his routine.

Jose has been a journeyman since leaving Detroit, and has had to fight to make several different MLB rosters. He talks about the mental side of not knowing your place, and what it's like to have to fight for a position that isn't guaranteed.

Now, Jose has finally found his footing with the New York Mets both on and off the field. Jose has been a key addition to a team that's fighting to make the playoffs, and has also brought the vibes. 'OMG' has been a huge hit this summer in New York, and Jose has performed the song multiple times, including after a victory. Jose explains the songs origin story and what his plans are in music once he finishes his baseball career.

Tom Marchitelli joins the guys on Diggin' Deep!

Tom is the founder of Gents Playbook, which outfits over 400+ athletes and celebrities with custom suits. Before his sports fashion business took off, it started as a side hustle. Tom was working a job in corporate finance in New York City, but always had a passion for fashion. He got his start by sourcing some of the best suit materials from England & Italy, perfecting each suits fit, and getting down in the DMs with some of the biggest athletes in the country.

Once word spread around the sports community of Tom's bespoke & swaggy suits, athletes began to DM him. Tom was DM'd by Travis Kelce because of his connection to Hoz, and Tom made his first ever bomber jacket for the 3-time Super Bowl champ.

He's also fitted Rob Gronkowski at a Super Bowl, has Dak Prescott as one of his biggest clients, and recently dressed Jarren Duran at the MLB All-Star game to a best dressed victory.

Tom's story is about betting on yourself and turning something you're better at than everyone else into a thriving business.
