Marty's opening segment of Talkin' Baseball before the start of Giants vs Padres in Cactus league playSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The guys talked about Fernando Tatis Jr and how this is the year he needs to step up and hit another gear. They also talked about some of the best fantasy baseball players in 2026.

Chris vs the Fans, Chris is still upset with ABS, and Skraby asked if we would miss Brandon Lockridge.

Chris and Skraby took the Friday show home with a bunch of talk about Randy Vasquez, a Countdown, a retraction in the Padres ownership sage, and a lot more!

A caller questions if Aaron Glenn is too fragile to be an NFL head coach. The guys then debate the Jets' salary strategy for the quarterback position before Jerry reveals where Baseball Digest projects the Yankees to finish in the A.L. East. C-Lo's update features a golfer mocked by Egyptian geese, Merrill Kelly's tax-based decision to choose the Diamondbacks over the Padres and Matthew Schaefer's record-breaking goal. We wrap up with Jerry's song parody about Al and his dog, Whimsy (which you'll have to go to Audacy.Com to hear because of streaming rules.)

C-Lo returns with a golfer being mocked by Egyptian geese. MLB player Merrill Kelly chose the Diamondbacks over the Padres because of taxes. Matthew Schaefer has the new record for goals scored for an 18 year old defensemen and we heard the call.

Nick Kirby and Mike Hart break down Chase Burns' impressive outing against the San Diego Padres on Thursday, dive into Tyler Callihan' potential role with the Cincinnati Reds in 2026, and react to reports that Major League Baseball owners could propose a salary cap and floor. The guys also discuss how the ABS challenge system has performed so far in spring training, rising Reds Opening Day ticket prices, and more.   OTHER CHATTERBOX PROGRAMING:   Chatterbox Bengals: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatterbox-bengals-a-cincinnati-bengals-nfl-podcast/id1652732141  Chatterbox Bearcats: https://chatterboxbearcats.podbean.com/  The Stone Shields Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/west-4th-and-long/id1828384424  Off The Bench: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-bench-by-chatterbox-sports/id1643010062  The Flyin Lion (FC Cincinnati): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-flyin-lion-fc-cincinnati-podcast/id1701368522  513 Golf: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjPJjEFaBD7VUSfdVvGjbr1_CmCepLWpr    DSC Commodities: https://deepsouthcommodities.com/  CALL OR TEXT 988 FOR HELP DAY OR NIGHT: https://mantherapy.org

On this week's episode we span all over the news world from sports, to politics, to parking meters. The second home tax is back. This time it spares vacation rentals. However, it’s on a fast track to the ballot. We tell you how it will work. Lisa Halverstadt had a big update after prosecutors said they believe a nonprofit executive may have misallocated even more funds meant to save people from overdoses of fentanyl and heroin. The crew talked about former Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey running for city council last week and this week Scott reached out and shared some further clarifications for Bailey's future. A Padres pitcher had an unfortunate injury in Spring Training but Scott Lewis decided to take this opportunity for a little PSA. Finally, our intern Rami Alarian joined us to talk about his story about police using helicopters to break up college house parties. We are on YouTube now!

Robert Horry and the crew kick off Shoot Around episode 124 with jokes and impressions before jumping into a pop quiz: the only NBA player to win a scoring title, rebounding title, blocks title, Rookie of the Year, MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal—revealed to be David Robinson. The conversation shifts to Spurs talk, with Horry pushing back on claims that he hates San Antonio, explaining his take on why he doesn’t have Wemby as his MVP and naming his MVP as “Brown,” while still praising the Spurs, Pop, and the 2005 championship team.   They discuss the Chicago Bears potentially moving about 25 miles south to Hammond, Indiana, while likely keeping the “Chicago Bears” name, comparing it to New York teams playing in New Jersey and noting Indiana’s willingness to fund a new stadium. The group also talks about which franchises should never move, highlighting the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Padres, and briefly noting the Braves’ move within the Atlanta area. In NBA rules talk, they react to Paul Pierce’s idea of an LED three-point line that turns on and off during games, calling it too gimmicky and better suited to celebrity or All-Star-style events.   The episode also covers UFL rule changes, including a four-point field goal for kicks over 60 yards and banning punts once a team crosses midfield, with the hosts debating whether the NFL might adopt similar ideas and joking about how it would affect Super Bowl squares. Off the court, they break down MLB Players Association executive director Tony Clark resigning after an internal investigation revealed an improper relationship with his sister-in-law, and they react to Mad Dog Russo’s defense while debating how personal life should intersect with employment consequences. They wrap with viral oddities and childhood stories: a 92-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s climbing a seven-foot nursing home gate in 24 seconds, a 12-year-old in North Carolina driving himself to school with a fictitious plate after missing the bus, and the hosts sharing the dumbest things they did as kids—stealing church money for cookies, kicking a hole through a bedroom door, and a messy food fight that led to “double dip” punishments.   00:00 Friday Cold Open 01:25 Wild Twitter Grab Bag 01:40 NBA Trivia Stumper 03:22 Spurs Fans Clapback 05:38 Bears Moving to Indiana 07:17 Teams That Shouldn’t Move 08:43 LED Three Point Line 10:01 UFL Rule Experiments 12:14 Tony Clark Scandal 15:21 92 Year Old Gate Escape 17:11 Kid Drives To School 19:11 Cookie Money Confession 20:42 Foot Through The Door 22:29 Epic Food Fight Fallout 23:46 Double Dip Whoopings

Ben and Paulie are here for you on a Friday morning! We start the show with a little foreplay as the guys wish Woodsy well as he is off to Texas with his boys this weekend, and Ben tells us how he realized he is now the "uncool kid" at both of his jobs. Then we set the menu for today's show and check in with Spring Training Sammy Levitt who joins the show from Peoria a little earlier this morning with the latest from Padres Spring Training and the guys discuss the latest bid to purchase the Padres that was reported on last night! Listen here!

Initial bids are in for the Padres, and they include an ownership group headed up by a Hall of Fame QB. Drew Brees has teamed up with the CEO of Vuori to make a run at the Friars. Darnay discusses the surprising development with Sports Illustrated MLB Writer Ryan Phillips. He explains why fans should feel really good about the direction the sale is headed. What bidder is he most interested in at this point? The WBC arrives next week and Manny Machado looks ready. Should we be worried about how the Padres will start this season because of what happened after the 2023 WBC? Have we discovered one clear difference between Craig Stammen and Mike Shildt? The new skipper is experimenting with the Padres lineup. Darnay and Ryan discuss one possible starting point.

Ben, Woods, and Paulie are back in studio and here for you on a Thursday morning!
