    MLB LEGEND BILLY SAMPLE

    The amazing episode opens  featuring former Major League Baseball player, broadcaster, and screenwriter Billy Sample. Sample discusses being raised partly by grandparents in Salem, Virginia, early poverty, and minor-league pay, including carrying a manager’s golf clubs, and shares encounters with entertainers like Roy Clark, Charley Pride, Penny Marshall, Tim Daly, and broadcaster Dick Enberg. He promotes his strong R film Reunion 108 and his self-published book A Year in Pinstripes & Then Some, describing guerrilla-style filming and clubhouse humor. Sample outlines his baseball path from JMU and the Shenandoah Valley League to the Rangers, Yankees, and Braves, reflects on card-signing requests, teammates’ personalities, playing with Rickey Henderson, facing Nolan Ryan, and recalls his favorite MLB moment: a walk-off home run against the Angels. 00:00 Ugly Floor Epoxy Ad 00:32 Show Intro and Guest Reveal 02:27 Growing Up Poor in Virginia 04:33 Minor League Grind and Famous Owners 06:11 Roy Clark Almost Bats 09:31 Celebrity Encounters and Awkward Interviews 13:51 Reunion 108 Movie Talk 16:37 Clubhouse Culture and Ball Four 24:26 Path to the Majors 32:37 Break and Baseball Card Signing 35:57 Fan Letters and First MLB Games 37:53 Stars in the Clubhouse 39:32 Jesse Jackson Football 40:22 Bruce Hornsby Connections 41:25 Ray Signs Off 42:26 First Big Purchase 45:08 Reds Network Story 48:20 Funniest Teammates 55:38 Ricky Henderson Memories 57:16 Facing Nolan Ryan 01:00:55 Promoting Film Book 01:09:42 Walkoff Home Run 01:12:37 Farewell And Ads

    Funyuns Label Deep Dive

    Buckle Up MotherF****** Ray's doing a Funyuns label deep dive! Extreme Common Sense: Funyuns Ingredients, Trump’s War Spin, Gas Prices, Gerrymandering, and a Berea Bank Tragedy The script opens with an ad for We Do Epoxy, then Tristan and Ray begin their “Extreme Common Sense” episode by reading Funyuns ingredients and nutrition facts, briefly explaining riboflavin. They shift to politics, criticizing Donald Trump for unreliable statements about a war involving Iran, arguing it has driven gas prices up (they cite $5.15 in Richmond, KY) and hurt consumer spending, including Ray’s bowling/entertainment business being down about $70,000 year-to-date. They discuss Netanyahu’s influence, the Strait of Hormuz, and say the administration hasn’t justified the war’s urgency. They cover mid-census redistricting and gerrymandering’s effects on primaries and representation. After sponsor ads, they discuss the Berea bank robbery/murder by an 18-year-old, a hantavirus cruise-ship outbreak, RFK Jr., Trump family profits, Democrats’ messaging, a Bill Greason story, and end with a joke and Reds/Mets talk. 00:00 Ugly Floor Ad 00:30 Show Intro 00:55 Funyuns Label Deep Dive 04:23 Trump Test Talk 06:57 War Misinformation 13:33 Gas Price Shock 15:11 Business Downturn 21:06 Was War Necessary 23:31 Strait of Hormuz Fallout 26:40 Redistricting Battle 29:46 Gerrymandering Effects 32:56 Election Outlook 34:41 Halftime Break and Sponsors 35:34 Berea Pawn Ad Spot 36:06 Hourly Flipper Promo 36:40 Snack Talk to Tragedy 37:05 Berea Bank Shooting Fallout 41:56 Cruise Ship Hantavirus 43:21 RFK Jr and Cabinet Chaos 45:58 Trump Profits and Corruption 51:55 Democrats Message Problem 56:51 PSA on Being Late 59:09 Bill Greason Autograph Story 01:02:09 Confessional Lemon Joke 01:02:47 Reds Slump and Mets Misery 01:04:13 Weekend Signoff

    Ray is a Thousandairre!

    The script opens with an ad for Tony at We Do Epoxy offering to transform ugly concrete floors, then shifts to Trizdon and Ray’s “Extreme Common Sense” banter about aging, listening back to their show, and fading sports passion. They discuss the NCAA tournament, including a Sweet 16 pool at their bar where Ray won $1,000 with Michigan and also won an additional bet, plus talk of the Reds’ strong start and attending games via broadcast-booth tickets. Ray recounts a Keeneland trip and losing a winning bet due to not checking the ticket. They touch on Afrika Bambaataa’s death and allegations against him, then debate polarized politics, gas prices, Fox News narratives, and the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz implications, including a story about Nancy’s boyfriend who managed Iranian-owned Amco franchises. They also mention sponsors, flipping and pawn ads, jokes, UFO/alien claims by a Tennessee congressman, Artemis splashdown parallels to Apollo, and brief baseball/Pete Rose anecdotes. 00:00 Ugly Floor Epoxy Ad 00:31 Podcast Intro Setup 00:57 Behind The Scenes Banter 01:39 Listening Back Ego Check 02:36 March Madness Fandom Fades 04:59 Bar Pool Big Win 09:51 Reds Season And Booth Perks 12:31 Keeneland Day Lessons 17:11 Afrika Bambaataa News 18:19 Gas Prices Trump Loyalty 24:23 Fox News Spin Ceasefire 26:05 Iran Strategy And Strait 31:58 Could Left Credit Trump 33:28 Trump Blindness Debate 34:43 Iran Deal Fallout 36:19 Sponsor Shoutouts 37:22 Ad Break Returns 38:26 Jokes and Banter 39:34 Congress and Aliens 41:05 Pentagon UFO Story 43:52 Artemis Splashdown Talk 46:04 Conspiracies and Sports Fixing 50:23 Pete Rose and Legends 52:55 Gilbert Joke Finale 54:39 Propaganda and Polarization 58:35 Left Intolerance Debate 01:05:48 Closing Goodbye
