:17 - It’s a big couple of weekends in the Akron area with high school sports, and the focus is on Firestone Stadium coming up. Joey Arrietta, the proprietor of the classic ballpark, joined the show to talk about the softball tournament and what the plan is in case of rainouts. Ray also asked Joey about the future of the Akron Racers. 7:25 - The relief efforts continue in Dayton after the devastating tornadoes passed through the region. Jim McIntyre called in to discuss what the American Red Cross is doing to help those in Southwestern Ohio. 10:59 - Pizza Hut is giving themselves a facelift after dropping sales. Ray, Tony, and Steffany talk about chain pizza places in today’s world and what the future holds for them. 17:55 - The abortion debate in America continues to divide the country, with southern and Midwestern states becoming more restrictive while New York and Virginia have been much looser. Attorney Wilson Huhn discussed the possibility of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

This week, the girls are joined by Sam Fischer-Cooke! She is a professional softball player who broke nearly every record at her alma mater, Loyola Marymount University, is a 3x Gold Medalist at the World Cup of Softball, a 2x silver medalist at the ISF World Championships with Team USA, and will be returning for her third season in the Women's Pro Softball League with The Akron Racers. She. Is. A. BADASS. The girls breakdown her favorite quote by Lil Wayne, talk about overcoming defeat and heartbreak, and much more! 

Joey Arrietta considers her job a labor of love. The owner and general manager of the Akron Racers professional softball team talks with Cody and Chris about Akron's stake in this league that has now gained an international reach (one of the current National Pro Fastpitch teams is from China). The league will also most likely provide athletes for the 2020 Olympic Games. Attendees of Akron Racers games are treated to a family-friendly experience and an up-close look at the players, who Arrietta says play for the love of the game. She also discusses a recently completed documentary, "Burn the Ships," which profiles the highs and lows of the team and has helped bring more positive attention to the sport and to women athletes.
