  • Mar 2025 - Sports Lunatics - A WBC Strike 3 And Other Calls That Changed Games w/Mick Kern
    Mar 17 2026

    On March 15, 2026, a bad call on what turned out to be the third strike that ended an exciting World Baseball Classic semi-final game between the United States and the Dominican Republic was made. After the game, Alex Rodriguez said on the Fox post-game show "a ball that's about four inches down, you just hate to end a game that big...on a pitch that's not a strike." Howie and guest Mick Kern from SiriusXM's NHL Network Channel talk about bad calls and missed calls by officials from the worlds of baseball, hockey, football - both Canadian and NFL - basketball and soccer. Mick finishes the episode off with a call that he figures is extremely important because it's changed the way hockey games have become officiated. It's another lively episode.

  • Mar 2026 - Sports Lunatics - Radko Gudas, the Hits, the Fallout and Other Hockey Villains Through History w/Mick Kern
    Mar 14 2026

    On March 12, 2026, Radko Gudas went knee-on-knee with the Toronto Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews, injuring the Leafs' centre. Given the way he forced Sidney Crosby out of the Olympic tournament, Howie asked guest Mick Kern, of SiriusXM, about Gudas and the fallout from those hits. This was recorded before the NHL's Department of Player Safety ruled on any suspension, but Mick was on fire discussing Gudas and so many other NHL 'bad guys' from the 80s, 90s and beyond. It's a fun conversation and one that is sure to evoke a ton of memories.
