Ready To Unload: With Cal & Sanpete

Ready to Unload: with Cal & Sanpete - #277 Show Rundown - 12/8/18 A Block Welcome back, Kotter(s). We'll reset the table with all the NY sports teams. So much is going on, with the Jets and Giants, Mets and Yankees and our beloved Islanders. We got a big ass reset to do.  B Block The Mets and Brody Van Wagenen. Does Cal believe? Has Jeff changed? We'll figure out if we're buying, and suggest what we think for the Mets fix.  C Block - AKA - "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" Block Islanders and coach Barry Trotz... I have to type that again. Coach Barry Trotz. Ahhhh... it's wonderful.  THE FUNLOAD: Will be back soon, we promise... 

Ready to Unload: with Cal & Sanpete - #276 Show Rundown - 6-28-18 A Block The New York Mets. Yup. All of it. A season the likes of which we have not seen in many years. Can they be fixed? We'll take a look, going all the way through all of it. Should be a really enjoyable conversation. B Block John Tavares and the New York Islanders. It has come to this... We'll know in about 36 hours for good if the Captain will stay with the only organEYEzation he has ever known. Cal is calm, Sanpete is... not.  C Block - AKA - "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" Block We are men of action. Lies do not become us. We're not going to get to C block tonight. THE FUNLOAD: Bishop PJ be with you... (and also with you). He's back! He saw Hamilton last night! He probably has 800 things to talk about! We'll probably settle on something food related! 

TU Show Rundown - 4/2618 A Block NFL Draft! Jets Take Darnold! Giants Take Barkley! Holy underwear! B Block Mets after a hot start have leveled off to 3-6 in their last nine. What are they? Who are they? They are the walrus, goo goo gajoob. C Block Islanders are reportedly reaching out to Lou Lamariello. Yeah. Okay... 

RTU Show Rundown - 2/8/18 A Block Football season ended with a fantastic game filled with fascinating subplots before and after... so we'll lead off with hockey and the Islanders... Just kidding, we'll quick wrap the NFL season, talk about our Super Bowl sundays, and send Jets and Giants into the very short off season.  B Block Islanders GM Garth Snow spoke to the media yesterday... it went about as well as it always does. Which is not good. Will the Islanders make a move? What to make of this team on the ice? And the Rangers look poised to sell off for the first time in a long time. Woud they deal with their hated rivals?   THE FUNLOAD™ (a fun, non sports related unload, as led by Bishop PJ): Bishop Pop Culture PJ is working this week, but he promises he's getting his rest, taking his meds, and clocking what he's eating to talk about next week on the Funload. 

RTU Show Rundown - 2/1/18 A Block Yes, the Super Bowl is in 3 days... but we have something else on our minds. The GM's in NY, specifically those helming the Mets, Jets and Islanders. Are they ever accountable? What should a fan's expectation for transparecny be? When is a GM too arrogant? We'll get into Alderson, Maccagnan and Garth Snow as well as talk about what it takes to be successful as a modern GM in NYC. B Block The Super Bowl... sure, we'll talk about it a little bit. Why not? C Block (aka the "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" block) The Islanders and Rangers: a tale of two seasons, both shitty. Plus, Kirk Cousins to the Jets RQ. THE FUNLOAD™ (a fun, non sports related unload, as led by Bishop PJ): Bishop Pop Culture PJ is off this week, as apparently the last 4 months weren't sufficient off time for him. He'll be back next week, probably talking about his old pal, Oscar™ 

11.9.17 RTU Show Rundown A Block The Jets have a chance to get to 500 this weekend against a bad Bucs team. Should we be happy? Are we enjoying this? Someone tell us how to be fans! (kidding, please don't). The Giants are in a state of disarray that's, quite frankly, Jets-like. How the season from Hell continues to find new levels of it.The state of the NFL... the protests, the diminished quality of play, an entity that could be the only thing that could ruin itself.  B Block The Islanders are 15 games in, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. One thing's for sure though, Mat Barzal can play. Is Cal easing his way into emotional attachment? C Block (aka the "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" block) The Yankees let Georgia Roddy go, and are looking for a new skipper. Sanpete asked a few of his Yankee fan friends who they wanted. The concensus was... uhm, dunno? THE FUNLOAD™ (a fun, non sports related unload, as led by Bishop PJ): Where have all the cowboys gone? We'll explain. 

10.19.17 Ready to Unload: with Cal and Sanpete Show Rundown A Block The Yankees are one game away from going to the World Series. How did they get back here so fast? Sanpete knows... Meet the Afterthoughts, Meet the Aftertoughts, step right up and ignore the Afterthoughts. B Block Hey you guys, Jets got robbed last week in NE and Cal snapped, like really snapped. Much needed release. Who are the Jets this year? (I am a walrus...) The Giants will now rip off 11 straight wins, because 2016-17 C Block (aka the "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" block) The Islandes are off to a completely middling start. Anything to be excited about? Prolly not. THE FUNLOAD™ (a fun, non sports related unload, as led by Bishop PJ): It's back to the Funload! Pants optional, all opinions welcome! Let's get loose!

Ready to Unload: with Cal & Sanpete -  #271 - 10/5/17 SHOW RUNDOWN: A Block The Mets move on from Terry Collins in the shabbiest way possible. Who will be the new manager? Does it matter?The Yankees in the ALDS vs. the Indians. These Yankees easy to root for, those who root for them are not. B Block Islanders open their season tomorrow. Sanpete is maybe too excited. We'll break down the Isles for '17-18, and maybe get Cal on board with the excitment. C Block (aka the "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" block) The Jets are 2-2 playing the 0-4 Browns... are they any good?The Giants are 0-4 and maybe one of the more disappointing teams in NYC in recent memory. Can they turn it around? THE FUNLOAD™ (a fun, non sports related unload, as led by Bishop PJ): It's time for the THOUGHTload... how far are we going out of our way to feel bad and to make others feel worse. Should be a lot of fun. :-o

We then went to the Yankees (40:00) and letting the Baby Bombers breath a little, and then went to the Mets, the lineup, Cal at opening day, Matt Harvey, Cal's "162 Game Pledge" and how he can use DirecTV to get there. We also got into the instant gratification of the modern sports fan, and how social media has escalated every win or loss into life and death.  Check it out on iTunes and subscribe to RTU!

Cal, Sanpete and PJ will talk NY Sports, Sports in general, and whatever else catches their fancy for the 262nd time. Cal and Sanpete will likely go station to station, like James Brown in "Livin' in America", touching on all the locals, the historic 2016 Chicago Cubs World Series, starrting the Chicago Cubs, and perhaps talk a bit about what sports means to them in this anxious time in America. We promise no politics... at all. Really. Not even a dash. But sports fandom, a triviality under the best of circumstances, perhaps is a haven for some looking to escape an extremely nervous moment in America. Or maybe it's not... maybe it's completely insignificant given the gravity of the situations that we face. We dunno, but we'll talk about it. So join us live, or
