    TONY V | Chirping Zebras Podcast | Ep #123

    Get ready for copious amounts of laughter with one of the nation's top comedians, TONY V. Tony V started his stand-up comedy career in 1982 after attending several shows at Boston’s prestigious Comedy Connection. In 1986 Tony V was named “Funniest Person in Massachusetts” by Showtime television. He followed this achievement with several performances on HBO, the Arts and Entertainment Network, Comedy Central, and MTV. From 1987 through 1992 Tony V became the “spokesperson” for American Tourister Luggage. Remember the suitcase-smashing gorilla? It was Tony who gave the ape its distinct voice and temperament. Network television was next on the list for this Boston native. Spending time in New York and L. A. paid off with multiple highly acclaimed appearances on Late Night w/ Conan O’Brien, Comedy Central’s Tough Crowd w/ Colin Quinn, and several sit-coms including Seinfeld, Boston Common, The Single Guy, and Dr. Katz Professional Therapist. Having proven himself a solid comic actor Tony then tackled dramatic roles on television working with such notable actors as Eric Roberts, Ice T, and James McDaniels from NYPD Blue. Tony’s big screen outings include State and Main, Celtic Pride, Housesitter, One Crazy Summer, and Shakes the Clown as well as the independently produced By the Sea and Abracadabra. Tony has also produced and written on several shows for network and production companies. Grab a cold beverage and enjoy this one because it's a killer episode. 🔥 BIG LOVE TO OUR SPONSOR Couldn’t do this without the beauties who keep the wheels turning.

    JOHN VALENTIN | Chirping Zebras Podcast | Ep #121

    The boys switch it up to baseball being joined by Major Leaguer John Valentin. John played with the Boston Red Sox from 1992-2001 and finished his career with the New York Mets in 2002. He won the Silver Slugger Award in 1995, is a member of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame and holds the distinction of being the only major-league player to have (in different games) executed an unassisted triple play, hit for the cycle, and hit three home runs in one game. John not only talks about that triple play and hitting for the cycle, but shares his thoughts on the current Red Sox team, the MLB playoff picture, and instant replay in baseball. John played on some great teams in the 90's and had some legendary teammates like Pedro Martinez and Mo Vaughn (who he played with in college at Seton Hall). Sit back, bust open a bag of peanuts or Cracker Jacks, and enjoy some baseball talk with a great Red Sox player and all around awesome guy, John Valentin. 🔥 BIG LOVE TO OUR SPONSOR Couldn’t do this without the beauties who keep the wheels turning.

In 2007, after his NHL days were done, Pat signed with EHC Black Wings Linz of the Austrian Hockey League.

    GENO, MARK & PJ THIBODEAU | Chirping Zebras Podcast | Ep #117

    This episode has a ton to unpack. The boys come out of the gate talking refereeing clinics, the NHL draft, and the moves the Boston Bruins made this past week. And just when you thought that was a lot, the boys bring on comedian PJ Thibodeau, a CZP favorite, to talk about the Celtics trade of Jaylen Brown and the World Cup. Not only is PJ a top headlining comic, he is also a basketball and soccer expert. In true Chirping Zebras fashion the episode goes off the rails when Geno shares what his favorite pickup line was back in the day. This was so funny Riles snorted. Yeah that funny. Don't leave this one early or you'll miss a whole lot of hilarity. Shout out to Iliac Golf for sending us a custom CZP head cover. Check them out.
