Podcast appearances and mentions of pat mcafee

(00:00) The guys talk about how the Jets have no fans, the Pat McAfee show with Aaron Rodgers on it, Rodgers being vilified, and the guys listen and react to clips of the McAfee show where he mentions the Diana Russini and Mike Vrabel situation and a lot of other things that don't make sense. (00:18:11.83) The guys talk about the Red Sox, how they didn't want to give up Anthony, Mayer and Cambpell last year and now none of them are currently playing for the Red Sox, Marcello Mayer situation, moneyball, then they listen to Craig Breslow's press conference after the Trade Deadline and react to it. Also, can these trades disrupt the chemistry of the team, should we be happy that the Red Sox bought instead of sold and how will the rest of the year look? (00:32:27.46) The guys talk about how Adam 12 was in the studio yesterday talking smack about Fred flying to Maine, what Hardy and Jon would've done if they knew each other in High School, FaceBook, and Hardy being with the Diamond Sisters on tour.

The Yanks lost to the Cardinals as they scored 7 runs in the eighth. Cam Schlittler did not pitch well. Aaron Rodgers was on with Pat McAfee at Steelers camp and went after Anthony Fauci and ESPN.

Gio kicks off by obsessing over the Rocket City Trash Pandas' deformed raccoon promotion before complaining about his wife designing her own birthday cake and picking out her own gift. C-Lo returns with an update on newest Yankee Luis Garcia Jr. homering in his debut, President Trump referencing the Yankees and NIL, and David Stearns addressing the Mets' deadline trades. Plus, Aaron Rodgers joins Pat McAfee to call out ESPN over the Dianna Russini/Mike Vrabel situation and take a shot at Tom Brady, leading Gio to wonder if Rodgers' wife is A.I. Finally, Gio questions why McAfee's show won't touch the Russini/Vrabel story, arguing ESPN seems confused about its own identity.

With Boomer out, Gio and Jerry break down the MLB trade deadline, assessing the Yankees' moves, return timelines for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and the Mets' deadline teardown. Gio addresses Craig Carton's take on Katie Nolan, vents about his wife's birthday gift routine, and obsess over a minor league raccoon promotion while C-Lo updates on Luis Garcia Jr.'s bittersweet Yankee debut, Trump on NIL, and the Yanks' loss to the Cardinals. Plus, Aaron Rodgers goes after Fauci, ESPN, and Tom Brady on Pat McAfee, prompting Gio to question ESPN's identity. Finally, the guys debate how the Brian Cashman era will eventually end, hit NFL camp updates from John Harbaugh and Klint Kubiak, and dissect 90s rock classics alongside "Hotel California."

Gio opens by addressing Craig Carton's take on Katie Nolan, calling her comments "so incredibly stupid" and deeming her and her producer "not a worthy opponent." Before C-Lo returns for his update, Gio touches on Amanda Knox and Netflix hating the cruise injury. Next, we hear audio from the Yankees' loss to the Cardinals following a seven-run eighth inning and a rough 83-pitch outing from Cam Schlittler. Plus, Aaron Rodgers goes after Anthony Fauci and ESPN during his Pat McAfee appearance at Steelers camp. Finally, Paul in Yonkers calls in to dance on the 2026 Mets' grave now that their roster is stacked with minor leaguers.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine settle into their newly renovated studio for a deep dive that spans four decades of one very familiar face: Dr. Anthony Fauci. Starting with the early days of the AIDS epidemic, the guys trace Fauci's role in pushing AZT as the only approved treatment, question how the drug actually performed, and pull in archival footage that lines up uncomfortably well with his later handling of COVID. Along the way, expect a viral Aaron Rodgers moment from the Pat McAfee show, a side by side comparison to Bill Gates' own brand of duplicity, and a detour into a Nobel laureate's controversial claims about the origins of AIDS. Jon and Zak weigh the evidence, the coincidences, and the decades long pattern with their usual blend of research and disbelief, and they tease at least one more thread they're saving for next week.

ESPN's Pat McAfee admitting on-air that a heads-up from NBA insider Shams Charania led him to bet on the Sixers at +700 before James's decision went public. Mike and Dan break down why this is different than any betting scandal they've covered before and why the legal and ethical framework for that gray area barely exists yet.The gambling theme continues into the WNBA, where the league's own social account posted (then deleted) a video of Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese flashing $400 cash from a wager on their own game. No discipline. Next: the Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton was suspended five home games after allegedly berating two teenage Sophie Cunningham supporters courtside. Then, a trilogy of NFL off-field stories: Tony Romo's arrest, and why Romo's booth seat isn't going anywhere; Kyle Shanahan's car accident and the "clerical error" that delayed his own police report by eleven days, with Dan drawing a tort-law comparison to the Myles Garrett–Mason Rudolph incident on where "part of the game" ends and criminal liability begins; and the ongoing, still-developing situation involving Eric Bieniemy's wife and son. The back half covers Stanford football's brand-new labor fraternity chapter of the College Football Players Association and the blockbuster overnight merger between Jake Paul's MVP and the PFL, which Dan shares could reshape the antitrust exposure the UFC is currently facing in its ongoing monopoly litigation.Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

Episode 251 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!This week we are joined by the Founder and Owner of CHIPS Performance Training and the voice behind SwagnShades, Alex Hale!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with Alex Hale — better known across social media as SwagnShades — founder of CHIPS Performance Training, to break down how storytelling, relentless consistency, and a strong culture can completely transform a youth sports business. Alex shares his journey from pro baseball to social media mastery, including the decision to post three videos a day for a full year that changed everything. We get into intentional branding and how his SwagnShades persona became one of the most recognizable voices in youth baseball, the discipline of building a business from a barn into a 12,000-square-foot facility, and why protecting your culture matters more as you scale. We also look at the future of baseball media — live events, immersive branded experiences, and community-driven content — and Alex's belief that if you trust your purpose, you owe it to yourself to shoot your shot.Key Points:- Storytelling is everything in athlete and brand development.- Consistency wins — three videos a day for a year changed the whole business.- Culture is built and protected through clear standards.- Intentional branding — the persona, the sunglasses — is what makes you memorable.- Content should serve the audience, not your own ego.- Authenticity and self-awareness drive real growth.- Protect the relationships and community inside youth sports.- Events like home run derbies and tournaments are exposure engines.- The future of baseball media is live, immersive, and community-driven.About our guest:Alex Hale — known across social media as SwagnShades — is the founder and owner of CHIPS Performance Training, a private baseball training facility built on a simple belief: confident, competitive athletes are built through positive culture and relentless preparation. Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Alex was a standout catcher at Creighton Prep, winning two state championships and earning Gatorade Player of the Year honors before playing Division I baseball at the University of Richmond as a two-way player, where he finished ranked eighth all-time in strikeouts and tenth in wins. After competing in the prestigious Cape Cod League, Alex was drafted by the Anaheim Angels in 2007 and again by the Boston Red Sox in 2008, signing with Boston to begin his professional career.Since hanging up his spikes, Alex has spent more than 15 years coaching and developing youth, high school, college, and professional players, growing CHIPS Performance Training into one of the Midwest's premier training facilities with more than 500 college commits and locations in Omaha, Lincoln, and Phoenix. Along the way, he has built the SwagnShades brand into a community of more than 737,000 followers across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, where his mix of coaching insight, humor, and straight talk — along with partnerships with brands like Warstic, Bruce Bolt, and Baseballism — has made him one of the most recognizable voices in youth baseball. His mission has never changed: building a positive, competitive, and confident baseball culture for athletes, coaches, and families.Follow and contact:Instagram: @chipsperformance | @swagnshadeschipsperformance.comSubscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

Can we really share the gospel by starting with Jesus loves you? Pastor Jeff Durbin said that walking up and telling people that “Jesus loves you” is not what the Apostles taught and so naturally it isn't something that we should be doing when we share the gospel. We contrast that with a recent interaction with ESPN star Pat Mcafee and a street evangelist starting off his conversation with Jesus loves you. Who is correct and how we should we as Christians evangelize Jesus Christ to those around us?

Baker Mayfield's contract decision puts Todd Bowles on the hottest seat in football AND exposes the death of the Rooney Rule and why the NFL won't let ESPN try to save it. Jason Whitlock connects the dots: the NFL's 10% ESPN stake, Ryan Clark out, Pat McAfee up, Stephen A. Smith turned down. With three black head coaches left after 10 openings and zero hires over the off-season, Whitlock makes the biblical case for meritocracy over identity politics: God is no respecter of persons.

"I can testify that Donna Shalala's hips also don't lie."

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 392 by marveling at the daredevils who parachuted off the Space Needle before celebrating the return of Seahawks training camp as a welcome distraction from another nerve-racking week of Mariners baseball. They react to Dom Canzone's season-saving heroics, Jerry Dipoto's puzzling coaching shakeup, and Seattle's looming trade deadline decisions before previewing the Seahawks' title defense and the inevitable Torrey Horton training camp hype. After Dominic Canzone's dramatic home run rescues the Mariners from a potentially devastating sweep, Mitch, Jason Churchill, and Brady Farkas debate whether the victory can truly change the trajectory of Seattle's season or merely delay the inevitable. Churchill also weighs Seattle's pitching surplus, discusses the futures of George Kirby and Logan Gilbert, evaluates top prospects Michael Arroyo and Lazaro Montes, and closes with an honest assessment of Cal Raleigh's prolonged slump. With Seahawks training camp underway, Mitch and Jacson Bevens examine how Seattle's Super Bowl-winning roster has changed and whether the team is equipped for another title run. They discuss the thinner roster, the uncertainty at running back, Sam Darnold's long-term future, and what Klint Kubiak's offense might look like with new weapons. Mitch samples three of the show's patron-exclusive regulars as Danny O'Neil weighs Tom Dundon's arena strategy and the Seahawks' upcoming Hard Knocks season. Jason Puckett breaks down the Mariners' trade deadline outlook, including Mason Miller, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, and Seattle's payroll future, before Slickhawk closes with stories about Trader Joe's, a 26-pound brisket, Dino's Pub, and Ryan Grubb's coaching future.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Jason Churchill | Baseball Things Jacson Bevens | Cigar Thoughts Danny O'Neil | Host, The Dang Apostrophe Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren't / Puck Drop Slickhawk | Shooting the Shit with Slick   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch and Scott Welcome Football Back While the Mariners Hang On. 18:25 | Mariners No-Table: Jason and Brady Debate Canzone's Lifeline and Seattle's Deadline Dilemma. 49:55 | Seahawks No-Table: Jacson Bevens Sizes Up a Champion's Repeat Chances. 1:10:33 | Danny, Jason, and Slick: Patron Poo-Poo Platter Serves Up Blazers Drama, Hard Knocks, and Mariners Trade Talk. 1:32:33 | Other Stuff: Shaq names the only three players to dunk on him, Derrick Coleman's legendary defiance of Chuck Daly's dress code, Jackson Koivun's meteoric rise from college golf to PGA Tour winner, Phil Mickelson's marriage rumors, Kevin Calabro exits Portland after Tom Dundon's cost-cutting, ESPN layoffs, Pat McAfee's reported $60 million extension, LeBron James joins Philadelphia, Tony Romo DUI arrest, Everson Griffen arrested over interlock violation, Le'Veon Bell jailed over unpaid child support, Kenmore Air seaplane crash, Kyle Shanahan injured in car accident.
