  • Wil Myers! AL Rookie of the Year on MLB Debut & Padres Playoff Run
    Feb 25 2026

    Wil Myers spent 11 years in Major League Baseball, won the 2013 American League Rookie of the Year, and carved out a career full of moments that only the clubhouse and dugout really understand. In this episode, we go all the way back to the choice between South Carolina and pro ball, the “survival mode” reality of the minors, and the exact hitting mindset that separates good weeks from rough ones. We also relive the surreal early days of his debut run through Fenway and Yankee Stadium, including the Andy Pettitte “video game view” that turned into a real at-bat.

    Then we get into what fans never see: outfield chatter, postseason emotion in San Diego, and even a full-blown tic-tac-toe rivalry at first base. We wrap with rapid fire favorites - toughest arms, toughest pitchers, Coors Field magic, and why golf became the perfect next chapter. Tap in, and make sure you subscribe for more timeless baseball stories.

  • Carl Corazzini! NHL Forward on Dream Call-Up to Bruins
    Feb 4 2026

    We’re joined by Carl Corazzini, former NHL forward, longtime Boston University hockey captain, and one of my closest friends from our WTBU days. Carl takes us behind the curtain on the moments sports fans never forget: the phone call that changed everything, the nerves of pulling on a sweater you grew up dreaming about, and the surreal rush of scoring two goals at Madison Square Garden for the hometown Bruins. We also go way back to the early Team USA years and what it meant to represent the Stars and Stripes, then forward into Carl’s up-close view of all-time talents like Joe Thornton, Paul Kariya, and Peter Forsberg - including a classic “welcome to the league” lesson in the corner. Along the way, we talk leadership, locker room culture, and why belief from the people around you can matter as much as your own. If you love behind-the-scenes hockey stories with real heart, this one’s for you. Subscribe and share it with a fellow BU or Bruins fan.
