High Noon

Kevin Slaten gave us special permission to play the audio from his 1-on-1 interview with Bill DeWitt III on his podcast, The King's Court. The King went straight at BD3 with the tough questions and talking points that fans actually talk about. Kinger didn't pull any punches, and neither did DeWitt. This audio is can't miss!

Howard Balzer of gophnx.com is VERY gracious with his time as Nate asks him about 5 "last questions." Cole tells the story of his sports media professor who helped kickstart his journey, and Nate already feels like he knows her.

Rammer is not in the studio today, but that's not stopping him from being a part of the show! We then swiftly transition into another friend of the show, Mike Reeves, who gives a major hot take when Nate asks him which NL Central team he would like to become the GM for over the next 5 years.

It's a Thursday, the Cardinals are playing, we don't give a damn! Joe Fresta Jr. of the Weekly Special from The Press Box is hanging out with us in the opening segment just chatting about the STL food scene.

Marcus Seidel of 2.0 Training Systems from the Tuesday Six Pack is now going to be coming into the studios on Wednesdays on the regular! Joining him is a client of his, as well as a friend of Nate's, Dom Tripi.

Marcus Seidel of 2.0 Training Systems from the Tuesday Six Pack is now going to be coming into the studios on Wednesdays on the regular! Joining him is a client of his, as well as a friend of Nate's, Dom Tripi. The conversation begins with some NBA Playoffs talk following a surprising sweep that took place in Los Angeles this week.

Chris Russo gave us our weekly dose of fun on First Take today. We get a kick out of learning about what got Mad Dog so worked up.

Rumors have been swirling around that Doug Armstrong might be eyeing the Toronto Maple Leafs opening, but is there any truth to it?

The Dallas Stars lost a crucial Game 3, and they did it in large part without their star, Jamie Benn. Benn had a boneheaded game misconduct before all the fans were even able to find their seats. We are now left with a pair of 3-0 series remaining in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Peter Appel is a friend of the show, and he joins us once again to talk some baseball! Check him out on Twitter @peterappel23 as well as his laundry list of podcasts including Just Baseball, Not Gambling Advice and the Arm Barn Podcast.

The Cardinals are back in business! The birds are still in contention to win their series in Cincinnati. We discover that the Cardinals have some good set-up man, but they really do not have a good closer. Nate thinks that middle relievers should revolt against their employers.

Today's Twitter Tuesday includes clips from a Jokic vs AD discussion, a former NBA player and his former coach publicly beefing, a former MLB player is in a social media war with a former teammate's wife, NBC's golf coverage being put in a bind by LIV golfers, Magic Johnson calling out the Celtics and some controversial Jim Brown commentary.

You might recognize the last name Isringhausen... I don't know. Just a hunch. Jason's cousin Scott is the Urban Fishing Coordinator for the IDNR, and he's in the house to let you know about an upcoming fishing event for the whole family on June 10th.

Dan O'Neill worked with Rick Hummel at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for a number of years, so he is the perfect guest to join the show and tell some stories about The Commish. Dan tells a hilarious story about how Whitey Herzog first learned that Dan and Commish were friends.

Can't win 'em all, I guess. The Reds get the best of the birds in Game 1. Nate actually thinks the Cardinals got semi-screwed. We've been discussing the identity crisis that the Cardinals have been dealing with for a while, and Paul Goldschmidt is about to be the biggest loser of the entire bunch. Has the Cardinals organization gotten complacent since the Rams left town?

Great American Smallpark should provide a nice home for the Cardinals offense for a little bit! What's going to happen with the Cardinals rotation, particularly with Matthew Liberatore? The Lakers and Celtics have found themselves in quite the pickle. Who'da thought.

Listeners of the show text in some of their thoughts on Rick Hummel. If you want to text Nate and Bob, text them at 855-282-8255. Nate had a "good, not great" day on Saturday when it came to the ponies. Plus, a little Cardinals talk for your Monday afternoon!

Bill McDermott joins the show every Monday to help us discuss STL City SC. Over the weekend, City picked up a 4-0 victory against our friends to the West, Sporting KC!

Andy Willis, a CBC grad, shares his story about coming home and transferring to Lindenwood to play for Rick Zombo to finish his collegiate hockey career. Andy is currently a member of the Fort Wayne Komets, the Edmonton Oilers' affiliate of the ECHL.

Ann Ligouri is gracious enough to give us some of her time to talk a little golf! She also had very glowing words to say about the late Jim Brown who she had the chance to interview in her career.

News broke about 35 minutes before the show that Rick Hummel, who was a friend of the show, had passed away peacefully. Nate and Rammer share some memories of The Commish. The Cardinals are unbelievable right now, however they're still monkeying around a little bit as Matthew Liberatore's reward for a fantastic season debut came in the form of bullpen work.

Check out The Winning Ticket at 6 PM CT on 590 The Fan! David Scharf and Clemson Jon are in the house to talk some ponies while enjoying some George Bushisms.

Matt Whitener texted Nate 5 minutes before the show that he caught a flat tire and wasn't going to be able to make it to the show. This came hot on the heels of Cam Janssen waking up Cole with a 7:04 AM phone call for a radio show that started at 7:06. What kind of funny farm is Nate running around here? By the way, yes we do talk sports in this segment. Plenty of it, as a matter of fact.

Did you see that play Nolan Gorman had at 2B last night? Yeah. In the infield. Shockingly, after a lifetime of fielding ground balls, Gorman is capable of making a good play on a ball. Who would've thought. Now all we need is for him to be in the lineup againts lefties! Brett Favre did an interview with Jason Whitlock where he shared some stories from his playing career. He had some incredibly int...

Michael Herbig is a friend of the show, and he's also the club pro at Glen Echo Country Club here in St. Louis. Michael joins the show to help Nate preview the PGA Championship which is just now getting underway today!
