The boys switch it up to baseball being joined by Major Leaguer John Valentin. John played with the Boston Red Sox from 1992-2001 and finished his career with the New York Mets in 2002. He won the Silver Slugger Award in 1995, is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and holds the distinction of being the only major-league player to have (in different games) executed an unassisted triple play, hit for the cycle, and hit three home runs in one game.

John not only talks about that triple play and hitting for the cycle, but shares his thoughts on the current Red Sox team, the MLB playoff picture, and instant replay in baseball. John played on some great teams in the 90's and had some legendary teammates like Pedro Martinez and Mo Vaughn (who he played with in college at Seton Hall).

Sit back, bust open a bag of peanuts or Cracker Jacks, and enjoy some baseball talk with a great Red Sox player and all around awesome guy, John Valentin.

The boys are joined by ex NHL'er Pat Leahy. Strap yourself in for this one. Pat is a local Boston kid who got to live out his dream of playing for his hometown team the Boston Bruins. Pat was a star at BC High, the same school Geno played for, and went on to have a great pro hockey career.

After being drafted in the 5th round, 122nd overall, at the 1998 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Rangers, Pat spent 4 years playing college hockey for Miami University in Oxford, Ohio before he turned pro in 2001.

In 2007, after his NHL days were done, Pat signed with EHC Black Wings Linz of the Austrian Hockey League. He spent the last 7 seasons of his career with Linz, culminating with a Championship in 2012 before retiring at the end of the 2013–14 season.

If you are in the mood for some real talk about hockey tournaments, refereeing, trips to Vegas and the World Cup Final, this is the episode for you. Mark and Geno chop it up about all that and more. And Geno discovered sound effects on Riverside. Geno really likes sound effects.
