strider

Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Glavine joins Adam Schein to talk about his incredible career, the greatness of Maddux and Smoltz, the Braves in the 90s, his time with the Mets, the upcoming 2024 MLB season, facing PED users in the 90s, and his hilarious "Chicks Dig the Longball" commercial. Adam and Bob Stew react to NFL Free Agency, including the Ravens signing Derrick Henry, the Falcons signing Kirk Cousins, the Giants trading for Brian Burns, the Eagles bringing in Saquon Barkley, Adam's love for Sam Darnold and much more. 

Did Goobz and Toby find a mystical "HIDDEN GEM"? Or is this just a bad clone of the Sega Genesis game Strider?

Donnie Rightside and Kevin Walsh have you covered for a Thursday Night Football matchup and Game 4 of the Phillies and Braves Series. First - they discuss all the action from last night which saw the Dodgers get swept and the Twins lose their series to the Astros. They discuss the current playoff format and if it is fair to the highest seeds in the league. Then - Phillies vs Braves breakdown. They give you all their favorite bets for the game, as well as discuss Bryce Harper's postseason legacy after another insane performance last night. Then they jump into the Chiefs vs Broncos action - is this a make or break game for the Broncos? Will we see key pieces traded if they lose tonight? All this, your calls, their best bets, and more!

Donnie Rightside has you covered for another solo edition of Moneyline. Plenty to cover on the show today - he starts with yesterday's action which was headlined by the Angels choke job against the Giants and Strider getting rocked by the Pirates. On the same topic of MLB headlines, the Orioles suspended one of their broadcasters for pointing out their struggles against the Rays, which has led to public outcry against the move. In the NFL, drama in DC where Rivera and players have commented on new OC Eric Bieniemy's methods during practice. After - MLB today. Donnie breaks down all the pitchers he is targeting to get hit up tonight and the batters he thinks can get him some RBI's. Then - college football realignment has left just 4 teams in the PAC 12, where will they go? Could we see Cal and Stanford in the ACC? All this, your calls, his best bets, and more!  

Donnie Rightside has you covered on another classic solo mission Tuesday of Moneyline. First - he talks MLB and all the storylines out of the league, starting with Luis Arraez hitting .400 again and notching another 5 hit game. Can he finish the season hitting .400 or will he eventually cool off? Then, news about Stefon Diggs frustration in Buffalo finally came to light, with the star WR upset with his role in the offense. Could he be moved this offseason or will he stay with the Bills? After, do you trade for Zion Williamson if you are an NBA team or is the risk too much for the oft-injured New Orleans forward? Finally - Donnie breaks down EVERY game on the stacked MLB card tonight. All this, your calls, his best bets, and more!

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

Today I had the absolute pleasure to talk with the Owner of Strider bikes and founder of the All Kids Bike Foundation, Ryan McFarland. Ryan likes to tinker with projects, which is actually how he started creating a balance bike for his 2 year old son. After the balance bike getting a ton of attention he thought maybe there is some demand for a product like this, which turned into the global success of Strider Bikes. Ryan talks about focus and sticking with what you are good at and where you're needed. When Ryan heard about the shocking numbers of decline in children learning to ride bikes, he took it upon himself to boil down the problem to the simplest solution, which was to get biking into the public school eduction system. Ryan started the All Kids Bike Foundation which teaches kindergarten and Grade 1 students to learn how to ride a bike during PE class. It has been a great success so far as they are currently implemented in almost ever state across the country which massive potential and wide reaching impacts. This was an incredible conversation and Ryan dropped so many knowledge bombs that I’m sure you will gain some value from listening and walk away with several nuggets of gold.

Strider looks back a century's time to see what was going down? What was 2021 the year of? What will 2021 be the year of? Strider is thinking it's gonna be aliens dude? We need something to unite us. Hopefully it's chill aliens that can teach us how to be legit. If 2020, and the first week of 2021 are any indicator... seems anything could go down.

Strider had no idea what a credenza was before he met his dank GF. One could say he has been in a love triangle ever since. The credenza, thought by most to be a simple corridor adornment is the center piece of Strider and his dank GF's abode. Listen and learn all about the Dank Denza and similar pieces we so often identify incorrectly.

A lot of people just won their leagues this week. A lot more didn't. Strider is a constituent of the latter. Leaving all emotion and hard feelings out of it, Strider shares his research on the medium of camaraderie and competition that we all love and hate some much.

You know you've seen these graphic T's being sported by a dude in jean shorts on vacation standing next to his son who is sunburnt wearing the same T. Strider is for sure fired up that people are on vacation, but what is it about these shirts? Why were they such a hit? Where did they come from? Do people still wear them? What is going on!?

When you're posted up watching a dank movie like Braveheart or Kingdom Of Heaven the director's roadshow or any period piece really... the executioner is always a dude who looks like a former offensive lineman who maybe played D-2 college ball wearing a hood with a huge axe. In this episode Strider searches for a better understanding of the person not the position by removing the veil to find out a little more about the men behind the mask. If they even wore them at all...

Robert Smalls possessed the boldness and courage we all wish we had. His story is one for the ages, and it just begins with him hi-jacking a Confederate battle ship and navigating his way to freedom. He then went on to do even better things. This is a purely stoke inducing ep!

Strider has paraphrased the wise and true words of Winston Churchill many times and he will do it again, "there is something about the outside of a horse that is dank for the inside of man." Well what about when those who use their backs to drive herds use poetry to dive deep and be heard? Cowboys writing and reciting poetry! Dank.

Not only was Dan Sickles the shmole of the Battle of Gettysburg, he was the first person in U.S. history to get away with murder because of, "Temporary Insanity!" How did that come to be? How can a guy with the word, sick, in his name be a such a renob?

What to do IPAs and IRAs have in common? The short answer: time is your most valuable asset. IPA's, like IRAs get danker over time. Both are meant to be enjoyed slowly over time. Strider explores this Christopher Nolan style time oriented connection and much more.

With a name like STOKEsosaurus how can it not be the dankest dinosaur to ever walk the Earth? One has to imagine this ancient lizard was posting up on the beach in the Yucatan soaking up rays, making noises and chilling with its squad. Just to be sure though, Strider performed a little research.
