Synopsis

Theres a glut of sports talk radio and podcasts where the hosts are know-it-alls who you would never want to hang out with Dont you think? We did.So in December of 2009 we started Ready to Unload: with Cal and Sanpete. RTU is a weekly New York Sports-centric Talk Show & Podcast hosted by Steve Sanpete Sanpietro and Brian Cal Calvi, two guys you can belly up to the bar with to have the kind of great sports discussions you have been having with your buddies for years, replete with movie quotes, obscure stats and busted chops. Cal and Sanpete are joined by their producer, The Bishop Pop Culture PJ" Cacioppo, a school leaver, of no fixed hair style, who provides the casual sports observer point of view, chimes in on Pop Culture discussions, and provides the occasional "Instant Impression".The RTU Boys are talking sports WITH you, not AT you, because its sports, not politics or religion; theres no wrong or right, its just great to talk about. The show features all the Yankees, Mets, Jets, Giants, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders and Devils talk the law allows, while going into all of the NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA, and even the College sports stories of the day, plus guests providing all sorts of perspectives, from sports media members to our friends with great sports opinions. Tune in weekly to the live show or check out the podcast for sports talk where you can crack a beer, hang out, and BS sports.
