Healthy and Happy 20.11.2020 1:07:39
Bill Barnes joins us outside his normal time slot to fill us in on his experience with the Corona Virus. He is in good spirits and almost through a healthy recovery. We can't have a week without Bill Barnes so we brought him in on a Friday special edition. In other news, the new Covid vaccine will be named "Bill Barnes."
The WWW Fanclub: Get Well Bill 18.11.2020 1:06:46
We have a few callers today who contacted us to give their best wishes to Bill Barnes. He is a little under the weather still with Covid so you will hear the first interview we ever did with Bill back on April 1st. It's a special edition of the Weekly Wednesday Weigh-In! Give 'em hell Bill!
Fear Not 16.11.2020 1:03:08
Recaps of college football, boxing, The Master's, and the NFL from over the weekend. We also start the show with a few thoughts on the concept of fear and ways to conquer it. Happy Monday!
Outlier Industry 13.11.2020 1:25:05
Brandon Vandermyde joins us from Utah for a great discussion on beliefs and values. He and I have umpired college baseball together and share a similar set of opinions despite very different backgrounds. Brandon also works in Commercial Real Estate and volunteers as a Firefighter. Our conversation is one I thoroughly enjoyed and one of my personal favorites.
The Tourniquet on Freedom 11.11.2020 1:41:29
Bill Barnes is back at the Eastvale Studio for his appearance on the Weekly Wednesday Weigh-In. We discuss the ongoing Presidential Election aftermath, a few baseball managerial hires, and the constant hypocrisy of the Covid culture. Bill brings his fierce opinions as well as some humility to the mic today. He and I also share our thoughts on the direction the country might be headed. Happy Vetera...
This Just In........ more ballots. 09.11.2020 1:19:04
Another manic Monday in the crazy world of 2020. We have a new President Elect, or do we? The United States continues the craziness of this improbable year with only a few more months left in it. I give you all my thoughts on the post Election drama, the NFL, and college football from the wild weekend.
Working Hard or Hardly Working 06.11.2020 1:11:38
My brother Sam Heersema returns after his last appearance a couple months ago. This time we focus on jobs and careers. Sam and I have each had different experiences with various jobs and we find it interesting that although you never end up where you thought you would, you do end up where you're supposed to. Good luck to everyone out there as hopefully America goes back to work soon.
Continue the Counting!!!! 04.11.2020 1:26:30
Bill Barnes and I go over the results late on Election Night and both wonder why the counting of votes was stopped. Forty five of the fifty states were able to count most of their ballots and with Trump leading in the remaining ones, it appears we are at a stand still. We will see what happens later in the week, but for now we wait with anticipation.
Election Eve 02.11.2020 58:28
I start the week off with chatting about our Halloween activities from over the weekend. There was plenty of celebrating and some rather clever costumes on Saturday. I give my recap of all the NFL action from Sunday and look ahead to the Election on Tuesday.
Celtic Pride 30.10.2020 1:24:14
Brian McDermott is always fun to talk to and there are plenty of topics to discuss today. He vents about being a Clippers/Angels fan in a Lakers/Dodgers world and shares how important the Celtic Football Club is to his family. Brian is proud of his Scottish heritage and is one of the few people on this planet I will talk soccer with. We also discuss podcasts and the year 2020. Happy Halloween!
I will teach you how not to do it. 29.10.2020 1:37:46
Bill Barnes and I stay up late on Wednesday night to ensure an episode is out for the Weekly Wednesday Weigh-In. We discuss the Dodgers winning the World Series, make predictions about the Election, and of course complain about how the Dictator of California runs things. Better late than Thursday.
The Last Out is the Hardest 26.10.2020 1:16:21
We recap a huge weekend of sports. Games 3, 4, and 5 of the World Series were full of excitement and disappointment. Khabib finished off Gaethje rather quickly and then called it a career. Both college football and the NFL provided moments of when the defense should let the offense score.
Run To Win 23.10.2020 2:01:27
Ken Drain is a long time coach and Athletic Director at Rio Hondo Prep. He was in the first class Rio ever had and has coached basketball there for over 30 years.

A good time, not a long time. 21.10.2020 1:08:50

We give our predictions on the Fall Classic and have a quick show without any outline on short notice.
Call It A Comeback 19.10.2020 1:18:06
We kickoff our first pitch with a bell this week as we recap the huge sports weekend. The Dodgers win 3 in a row to advance in dramatic fashion, the Rays looking to be the second Tampa Bay team to win a championship in the fall, and Teofimo Lopez becomes the Undisputed Lightweight Champion in boxing. There is also plenty to talk about from a busy NFL Sunday. The World Series is set and this crazy...

Bill Barnes After Dark 14.10.2020 1:36:50
Bill Barnes joins us very late at night on Tuesday to make sure his loyal listeners can hear from him first thing in the morning for the Weekly Wednesday Weigh-In. We discuss the Dodgers woes as well as the continued dictatorship policies by the governor of California. Bill has had back pain recently and some of his opinions might give the listeners a little discomfort as well.
Blind Allegiance 12.10.2020 1:16:25
We kick off the week with a recap of sports from over the weekend. There was plenty of stories to discuss from both college football and the NFL, but the biggest news was the injury to Dak Prescott. We will do a rundown of some of the top games from both Saturday and Sunday. Topics include defenses being behind schedule, designing running plays for quarterbacks, and condemning late game decisions...
Listening and Learning 09.10.2020 1:42:15
Todd Carson joins us again from way up in Mount Shasta, CA. He chats with me today about a lot of the multiple podcasts he listens to and how we can be influenced by a variety of people who share our values. Todd will also discuss a very serious subject that I think we can all learn from. Additionally, we have a great Suds With Studs segment that we do every Friday.
Consistently Inconsistent 08.10.2020 1:31:27
Bill Barnes returns for the Weekly Wednesday Weigh-In. Even though it's a Thursday, he was ready this morning for his analysis of the Vice Presidential Debate from Wednesday night. He also has some strong views on the relief pitching of the LA Dodgers. Bill is excited for a potential live show on Sunday night and has some conspiracy theories that not all of us will agree with.
Monday Morning Quarterback 05.10.2020 1:10:09
With our new format, I will give mt thoughts on all the sports stories from the weekend. I have strong opinions on the Dallas Cowboys mediocrity, celebrating at the one yard line, and coaches who chase officials after games. We have a huge week of sports ahead like we've never seen before. Godspeed and well wishes to President Trump on his Covid recovery.
Bayonets!! 02.10.2020 39:42
