Glory Days W/brian Mcdaniel & Rick Mitchell

All the inside scoop on American Ninja Warrior, with a man who competed against Kacy Catanzaro (and lost) and once ran the course dressed as a hillbilly!

He was a bully, he once combined with teammates to shame their own coach into not coaching the second half of a game.  But he got his comeuppance, an excruciating physical comeuppance.  Listen for it, on this episode of Glory Days

The heart-warming story of how Jacob reconnected with a childhood friend… plus all the other hilarious terribleness you’d expect from Jacob Sirof.

His lifetime batting average at Angel Stadium is .666 That technically makes him the devil.

Jen makes bad decisions while drinking… like deciding to run a marathon.

Professional Dodgeball player (yes he was in the movie) Rob Clyde joins the podcast, and while brushing elbows with fame is fascinating, I dare to say his cult church past is even more fascinating!!  A GREAT EPISODE.

YEAH! Ken was a special olympian (not a joke) and later in life had a pass intercepted by a one armed man (also not a joke).  Pretty amazing stories from the man from Chicago!

Nick was at almost every high school football game there was during his four years… in band.

For whatever her shortcomings athletically, Paige presented a display board on “The DIY ethic in Punk Rock”… as a seventh grader!!  Her her stories, nay, her Glory Days, right here!!

She was an Olympic Hopeful…

Karen has some good stories about bicycle stunts, and accidents.  Also she got clobbered in a Hollywood softball game by some jerk comic (not Sarah Silverman, though she was there.)  Also she went up against Kevin James on Star Search.  Listen now, to her Glory Days

Gary got a trophy for working a paper route… that wasn’t even his.  That and lots of stories about how he basically stole from people.  A true charlatan: Gary Cannon.

Raul got robbed.  Literally.  They stole a Walter Payton rookie card.  Despite this misfortune we decide to pick on him for most of this episode.  Including by Flaco, who played basketball.

Luis and Vince are characters in next season’s “Lady Dynamite” with Maria Bamford, and they hosted one of the venues from her last stand up special.  They are comedians, and they love “Magic:The Gathering.”  We talk about all this stuff on this week’s Glory Days

Mike Ingram. NJCAA HALL OF FAME COACH!  He’s been coaching at Lansing Community College for decades, and is nearing 600 wins.  And as he will tell us, a win is a win, don’t second guess it!

Casey Moran was a sportscaster, he called college and high school athletics, worked for the Angels radio station for years, and talked about Butt Sweat on the air.

MY DAD.  Tells stories about growing up playing football and basketball.  Tells stories about me playing sports and how it was to be MY DAD. Plays the harmonica (Awesome!) Sings (Less Awesome) and didn’t really cry (BIG SURPRISE!)

We were supposed to name this episode “Gator-Raid” but it’s probably better to mention he played baseball against Giancarlo Stanton and has great funny stories, including about Jeff Fisher, and about why he’s asleep in the dugout in this picture.

Steve Mazan played basketball in Gass shoes for half a season.  Nobody cared about children back then apparently.

He tried out for the Padres… twice.  He also sold peanuts in the stadium and got chased out of a halftime show for the Chargers.  So many good stories, the #GloryDays of Gil Rief
