  • Dustin Fox! National Champion on Miami, Michigan and Tressel

    Dustin Fox! National Champion on Miami, Michigan and Tressel
    2025/12/10
    Dustin Fox joins us for a conversation that feels like sitting in a film room and a locker room at the same time. A four year starter at Ohio State and a 2002 national champion, Dustin walks us through the wild recruiting tug of war between Penn State and Ohio State, what it meant to become Jim Tressel’s first commit, and how that decision changed his life. We revisit the 2003 Fiesta Bowl in detail, from the controversial pass interference call to Willis McGahee’s dominance and the hit that left Dustin concussed while still playing the game of his life. Along the way, we get family stories that go back to the 1968 Buckeye title team, real talk about being a “white corner” targeted by offenses, and an unforgettable look at the Ohio State Michigan rivalry from someone who went 3 and 1 in The Game. We even end up in sneakerhead territory with Jordan 5s, Concord 11s, and a Michael Jordan dinner story you will not forget. If you love college football history and honest locker room perspective, this one is for you.

    2025/12/03

    We sit down with Tom Verducci – legendary Sports Illustrated writer, Fox and MLB Network analyst, Hall of Fame voter, and the rare storyteller who has literally stepped between the lines. In this episode we revisit his surreal week as a “professional” with the Toronto Blue Jays, including standing in against Roy Halladay and popping up with Kevin Cash’s bat. Tom takes us behind his iconic Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez cover stories, what he saw inside that late-90s Yankees dynasty, and why those clubs kept chasing rings long after they had them. We dig into the Bryce Harper SI cover at 16, how Harper handled the spotlight, and why his love for the game feels old school. Then we fast forward to Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Japanese baseball culture, and why Tom believes Shohei is the most talented player ever.

    Andy North is not just a two time US Open champion and three time All American at Florida – he is a living bridge to golf’s golden age. In this episode, we sit down with Andy to relive what it was like to grow up in Wisconsin dreaming of Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, then find himself paired with them in majors with everything on the line.

  • Dan Hicks! NBC Golf Voice on Tiger, Phelps, Ryder Cup

    Dan Hicks! NBC Golf Voice on Tiger, Phelps, Ryder Cup
    2025/10/29
    We sit down with Dan Hicks – the voice of golf on NBC and longtime Olympic play-by-play announcer – for a master class in big-moment broadcasting. We relive Tiger Woods at Torrey Pines in 2008 and the “expect anything different?” call, then jump to Beijing where Michael Phelps went 8-for-8 and Jason Lezak’s relay finish stunned the world. We also unpack Phil Mickelson’s 2006 Winged Foot finish, Ryder Cup first-tee nerves, calling alpine skiing off a monitor, and why live prime time still hits different. Dan shares career origins from college PA gigs to the 18th-tower seat, plus the human side of sports that keeps him hooked. If you love golf history, Olympic drama, and the craft of the call, this one is for you.

  • Mark Reynolds! 13-Year MLB Vet on Travel Ball to the Big Leagues

    Mark Reynolds! 13-Year MLB Vet on Travel Ball to the Big Leagues
    2025/10/22
    We sit down with Mark Reynolds — a 13-year MLB veteran with 298 career home runs — for a candid ride through the moments that still give fans goosebumps. We revisit the Virginia Beach superteam roots with David Wright, Ryan Zimmerman, and the Upton brothers; the late-night call-up to the D-backs and a debut that never looked back; and the surreal, cinematic first swing as a Yankee at Fenway. We go inside the pinstripes with Derek Jeter’s relentless standards, Mariano Rivera’s unanimous-worthy grace, and the clubhouse code only players see — from mound visits to secret defensive signs. Reynolds relives NLDS home runs vs the Cubs, the viral 10-RBI night in Washington, and a spring-training missile from Gary Sheffield that literally knocked off his glove. It is legacy, humor, and human detail in equal measure — the kind of behind-the-scenes baseball storytelling our audience loves. Tap in, and bring a friend who grew up on Bonds, Jeter, and October drama.
