There’s a glut of sports talk radio and podcasts where the hosts are know-it-alls who you would never want to hang out with… Don’t you think? We did.
So in December of 2009 we started ‘Ready to Unload: with Cal and Sanpete’. RTU is a weekly New York Sports-centric Talk Show & Podcast hosted by Steve “Sanpete” Sanpietro and Brian “Cal” Calvi, two guys you can belly up to the bar with to have the kind of great sports discussions you have been having with your buddies for years, replete with movie quotes, obscure stats and busted chops. Cal and Sanpete are joined by their producer, “The Bishop Pop Culture PJ" Cacioppo, a school leaver, of no fixed hair style, who provides the casual sports observer point of view, chimes in on Pop Culture discussions, and provides the occasional "Instant Impression".
The RTU Boys are ‘talking sports WITH you, not AT you’, because it’s sports, not politics or religion; there’s no wrong or right, it’s just great to talk about. The show features all the Yankees, Mets, Jets, Giants, Knicks, Nets, Rangers, Islanders and Devils talk the law allows, while going into all of the NFL, MLB, NHL and NBA, and even the College sports stories of the day, plus guests providing all sorts of perspectives, from sports media members to our friends with great sports opinions. Tune in weekly to the live show or check out the podcast for sports talk where you can crack a beer, hang out, and BS sports.

Welcome back, Kotter(s). We'll reset the table with all the NY sports teams. So much is going on, with the Jets and Giants, Mets and Yankees and our beloved Islanders. We got a big ass reset to do.
B Block
The Mets and Brody Van Wagenen. Does Cal believe? Has Jeff changed? We'll figure out if we're buying, and suggest what we think for the Mets fix.
C Block - AKA - "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" Block
Islanders and coach Barry Trotz... I have to type that again. Coach Barry Trotz. Ahhhh... it's wonderful.

The New York Mets. Yup. All of it. A season the likes of which we have not seen in many years. Can they be fixed? We'll take a look, going all the way through all of it. Should be a really enjoyable conversation.
B Block
John Tavares and the New York Islanders. It has come to this... We'll know in about 36 hours for good if the Captain will stay with the only organEYEzation he has ever known. Cal is calm, Sanpete is... not.
C Block - AKA - "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" Block
We are men of action. Lies do not become us. We're not going to get to C block tonight.
THE FUNLOAD:
Bishop PJ be with you... (and also with you). He's back! He saw Hamilton last night! He probably has 800 things to talk about! We'll probably settle on something food related! -
RTU: #275 - Sam I am...

Show Rundown - 4/2618
A Block
NFL Draft! Jets Take Darnold! Giants Take Barkley! Holy underwear!
B Block
Mets after a hot start have leveled off to 3-6 in their last nine. What are they? Who are they? They are the walrus, goo goo gajoob.
C Block
Islanders are reportedly reaching out to Lou Lamariello. Yeah. Okay... -
RTU: #274 - Turning off Steely Dan

Show Rundown - 2/8/18
A Block
Football season ended with a fantastic game filled with fascinating subplots before and after... so we'll lead off with hockey and the Islanders... Just kidding, we'll quick wrap the NFL season, talk about our Super Bowl sundays, and send Jets and Giants into the very short off season.
B Block
Islanders GM Garth Snow spoke to the media yesterday... it went about as well as it always does. Which is not good. Will the Islanders make a move? What to make of this team on the ice? And the Rangers look poised to sell off for the first time in a long time. Woud they deal with their hated rivals?
THE FUNLOAD™ (a fun, non sports related unload, as led by Bishop PJ):
Bishop Pop Culture PJ is working this week, but he promises he's getting his rest, taking his meds, and clocking what he's eating to talk about next week on the Funload. -
RTU: 273 - #Case on Energy

Show Rundown - 2/1/18
A Block
Yes, the Super Bowl is in 3 days... but we have something else on our minds. The GM's in NY, specifically those helming the Mets, Jets and Islanders. Are they ever accountable? What should a fan's expectation for transparecny be? When is a GM too arrogant? We'll get into Alderson, Maccagnan and Garth Snow as well as talk about what it takes to be successful as a modern GM in NYC.
B Block
The Super Bowl... sure, we'll talk about it a little bit. Why not?
C Block (aka the "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" block)
The Islanders and Rangers: a tale of two seasons, both shitty. Plus, Kirk Cousins to the Jets RQ.
THE FUNLOAD™ (a fun, non sports related unload, as led by Bishop PJ):
Bishop Pop Culture PJ is off this week, as apparently the last 4 months weren't sufficient off time for him. He'll be back next week, probably talking about his old pal, Oscar™ -

The Jets have a chance to get to 500 this weekend against a bad Bucs team. Should we be happy? Are we enjoying this? Someone tell us how to be fans! (kidding, please don't). The Giants are in a state of disarray that's, quite frankly, Jets-like. How the season from Hell continues to find new levels of it.The state of the NFL... the protests, the diminished quality of play, an entity that could be the only thing that could ruin itself.
B Block
The Islanders are 15 games in, and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. One thing's for sure though, Mat Barzal can play. Is Cal easing his way into emotional attachment?
C Block (aka the "Apologies to Lindsey Buckingham" block)
The Yankees let Georgia Roddy go, and are looking for a new skipper. Sanpete asked a few of his Yankee fan friends who they wanted. The concensus was... uhm, dunno?
THE FUNLOAD™ (a fun, non sports related unload, as led by Bishop PJ):
Where have all the cowboys gone? We'll explain.
