Childhood Sports stories from LEGENDS. Okay maybe not all legends, but didn’t it feel like we were when we were kids? During the Glory Days? Some stories are epic, and some are about complete failure, but Brian and Rick are always there to revel in the success and the misery. They really like re…
Glory Days w/Brian McDaniel & Rick Mitchell
All the inside scoop on American Ninja Warrior, with a man who competed against Kacy Catanzaro (and lost) and once ran the course dressed as a hillbilly!
He was a bully, he once combined with teammates to shame their own coach into not coaching the second half of a game. But he got his comeuppance, an excruciating physical comeuppance. Listen for it, on this episode of Glory Days
The heart-warming story of how Jacob reconnected with a childhood friend… plus all the other hilarious terribleness you’d expect from Jacob Sirof.
His lifetime batting average at Angel Stadium is .666 That technically makes him the devil.
Jen makes bad decisions while drinking… like deciding to run a marathon.
Professional Dodgeball player (yes he was in the movie) Rob Clyde joins the podcast, and while brushing elbows with fame is fascinating, I dare to say his cult church past is even more fascinating!! A GREAT EPISODE.
YEAH! Ken was a special olympian (not a joke) and later in life had a pass intercepted by a one armed man (also not a joke). Pretty amazing stories from the man from Chicago!
Nick was at almost every high school football game there was during his four years… in band.
For whatever her shortcomings athletically, Paige presented a display board on “The DIY ethic in Punk Rock”… as a seventh grader!! Her her stories, nay, her Glory Days, right here!!
Karen has some good stories about bicycle stunts, and accidents. Also she got clobbered in a Hollywood softball game by some jerk comic (not Sarah Silverman, though she was there.) Also she went up against Kevin James on Star Search. Listen now, to her Glory Days
Gary got a trophy for working a paper route… that wasn’t even his. That and lots of stories about how he basically stole from people. A true charlatan: Gary Cannon.
Raul got robbed. Literally. They stole a Walter Payton rookie card. Despite this misfortune we decide to pick on him for most of this episode. Including by Flaco, who played basketball.
Luis and Vince are characters in next season’s “Lady Dynamite” with Maria Bamford, and they hosted one of the venues from her last stand up special. They are comedians, and they love “Magic:The Gathering.” We talk about all this stuff on this week’s Glory Days
Mike Ingram. NJCAA HALL OF FAME COACH! He’s been coaching at Lansing Community College for decades, and is nearing 600 wins. And as he will tell us, a win is a win, don’t second guess it!
Casey Moran was a sportscaster, he called college and high school athletics, worked for the Angels radio station for years, and talked about Butt Sweat on the air.
MY DAD. Tells stories about growing up playing football and basketball. Tells stories about me playing sports and how it was to be MY DAD. Plays the harmonica (Awesome!) Sings (Less Awesome) and didn’t really cry (BIG SURPRISE!)
We were supposed to name this episode “Gator-Raid” but it’s probably better to mention he played baseball against Giancarlo Stanton and has great funny stories, including about Jeff Fisher, and about why he’s asleep in the dugout in this picture.
Steve Mazan played basketball in Gass shoes for half a season. Nobody cared about children back then apparently.
He tried out for the Padres… twice. He also sold peanuts in the stadium and got chased out of a halftime show for the Chargers. So many good stories, the #GloryDays of Gil Rief
He played Dwyane Wade One-On-One. Author, Comedian, Gambler: Matty Goldberg.
He played baseball growing up, learned a lot of life lessons, like: Turn your hat backwards before getting in a bar fight. From Sports to Bars, the Glory Days of Emmett Short.
Jose Chavez’s mom instilled a warrior like ethic in him. If warriors were constantly encouraged to quit. And also taunted about quitting. And also shamed for quitting. Look this is mostly therapy. Also, there’s the best story about his dad giving him a Nintendo. It’s like Chicken Soup for the Soul level except instead of […]
He grew up in Dallas, he sucked at sports, but he was good at smokin’ cigs and bangin’… drums.
He had big kneecaps so he was afraid of playing basketball in public, but when he finally grew into them Kareem Matthews made it all the way to starting for UCSD in college. Now he plays in the Drew League. The hilarious Kareem Matthews takes us through his Glory Days
Jill’s a veteran of MadTV and Reno911! AND she was the Cheerleading Captain. Queen Bee, and she tells us all the stories that happened this one time at Cheer Camp. Her Glory Days, right here, right then.
Mike White is not related to Ron White, he is related to lots of sad things that tend to distract him (don’t worry, we make fun of him for it.) Mike also pulled off the biggest baseball card swindle I’ve ever heard about.
Dani takes us on a journey through Texas which features absurd dance costumes, racism (surprise!) and a complete inability to stop people from shoving Pizza Hut in their faces.
Jeff the Female Furry. Shocking moments at Motocross. Childhood Nascar memories. A string of terrible puns. And some Dexter Spoilers.
He got his nose broken in a charity boxing match. He also found clarity while bleeding in the ring (for the kids!) and changed his entire life. Fantastic stories of boxing, Nintendo, Fat Kid stuff, Massachusetts, Getting drunk for the first time at 33 and Lou Ferrigno.
SIX.FEET.EIGHT.INCHES. of podcast coming your way this week. Jackson Belcher tells us about dunking for the first time, playing #UCLA Volleyball, and of course answers the question all the ladies want to know too…
What happens underwater… still hurts even though the Ref doesn’t see it. Ouch! Join Joe Linton for Deep End adventures in college Water Polo, and Swimming, and Hammer Throw. Yep – Hammer Throw. This episode is like Aquaman meets Thor with me and Rick bombarding the hero with absurd commentary. Listen Now!
When you get a full NCAA Division I scholarship to play volleyball what happens next? From NAU to UNH, spiking, setting, suffering injuries, coaching, Chip Kelly, and in the end, well I don’t want to ruin the end. The last five minutes of this podcast are the best. THE BEST.
Our longtime TMZ brother Max Hodges joins us on the podcast with stories about surfing and the sea. Waves, shark attacks, poop in the wetsuit, surf beatdowns, Max covers it all!
DJ Cooch tells us about how soccer will always bond him with his grandfather and Mexico, about getting beat up by a girl, and about how Chaka Khan getting too high changed his life. Amazing storytelling!
How does a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP in Softball end up feeling like not much of a win at all? Plus tons of stories that seem like they were pulled from John Hughes’ lost notebooks. A fascinating landscape of Southern California in the 1980’s. Listen Now!
Professional Golfer Greg Moss takes us to Asia where he plays on tour, to Dodger Stadium for an eating contest, to the US Amateur tournament, and to a time where he really let down his mom. A fantastic episode
